Abstract Refractory or relapsed (R/R) AML is the most challenging form of AML to treat. Due to frequent genetic mutations, therapy alternatives are limited. Here, we identified the role of ritanserin and its target DGKα in AML. Several AML cell lines and primary patient cells were treated with ritanserin and subjected to cell proliferation, apoptosis and gene analyses with CCK-8 assay, Annexin V/PI assay and Western blotting, respectively. We also evaluated the function of the ritanserin target diacylglycerol kinase alpha (DGKα) in AML by bioinformatics. In vitro experiments have revealed that ritanserin inhibits AML progression in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and it shows an anti-AML effect in xenograft mouse models. We further demonstrated that the expression of DGKα was elevated in AML and correlated with poor survival. Mechanistically, ritanserin negatively regulates SphK1 expression through PLD signaling, also inhibiting the Jak-Stat and MAPK signaling pathways via DGKα. These findings suggest that DGKα may be an available therapeutic target and provide effective preclinical evidence of ritanserin as a promising treatment for AML. |
