Abstrakt: Background:Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare aggressive extra-nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of which over 90% are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-based regimens are the dominant therapy for newly diagnosed PCNSL, but the patients' complete remission rate (CRR) is merely about 50%. Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), a critical kinase in the B cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway, contributes to the degradation of FOXO3a and promotes abnormal B cell proliferation. Recent studies revealed that BTK inhibitors (BTKi) play a role in various B cell lymphomas, including DLBCL, and have also shown promising efficacy in PCNSL. However, the clinical management of PCNSL is still challenging for its limited treatment options and poor prognosis, especially when patients developed acquired resistance to BTKi. Selinexor (KPT-330) is a first-ever oral small molecule Exportin-1 (nuclear output protein XPO1) inhibitor with a molecular weight of 443.31 Da, which can efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier. Currently Selinexor was found to promote the aggregation of FOXO3a and could synergistically inhibit PI3K/AKT and NF-κB pathways with BTKi to overcome acquired BTKi resistance. To investigate the therapeutic potential of Selinexor and BTKi in PCNSL, we examined the combination both in DLBCL cells and A20 transplantation mice, and further explored the clinical efficacy in PCNSL patients.
