Title:

THE MYB-TYK2 GENE FUSION INDUCES B-CELL ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKAEMIA IN IN VITRO AND IN VIVO MODELS AND CAN BE EFFECTIVELY TARGETED BY THE DUAL SYK/JAK INHIBITOR, CERDULATINIB.

Excerpt:
In vitro studies demonstrated sensitivity to cerdulatinib, within a clinically achievable range (IC50=800 nM). Cerdulatinib decreased the viability of Ba/F3 MYB-TYK2 cells with 39% live cells at 1 µM vs 89% in DMSO treated control, p=0.01....for the first time, the in vitro transformative ability and in vivo oncogenic potential of the MYB-TYK2 fusion to induce B-ALL. In addition, cerdulatinib was identified as a novel drug against MYB-TYK2 altered disease in vitro and in vivo to aid development of targeted therapeutic approaches against this aggressive ALL subtype.
