     View Summary

    Human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is responsible for adult T cell leukemia (ATL); however, molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying HTLV-1-induced leukemogenesis are unclear. BCL6 oncogene is involved in cancer progression and a preferred target of anti-cancer treatments. Here, we aimed to evaluate BCL6 expression and the effects of BCL6 inhibitor (FX1) on HTLV-1-infected T cell lines. BCL6 expression was higher in HTLV-1-infected T cell lines than that in uninfected T cell lines. BCL6 was localized mostly in the nucleus. The virus oncoprotein Tax induced BCL6 mRNA expression in T cells, whereas BCL6 knockdown reduced HTLV-1-infected T cell proliferation; thus, confirmed the association of BCL6 with cancer progression. Further, FX1 efficiently inhibited the cell growth and survival of HTLV-1-infected T cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The decreased levels of cell cycle regulatory proteins (phosphorylated retinoblastoma protein, cyclin-dependent kinase 4, cyclin D2 and c-Myc) and the increased levels of BCL6 target proteins (p21, p27 and p53) showed that FX1 arrested cell cycle at the G1 phase. Apoptosis was induced concomitantly with Bak upregulation and downregulation of survivin, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, as well as with the activation of caspase-3, -8, -9 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. FX1 also inhibited NF-κB and Akt signaling pathways. These events were because of the induction of the activity of cell cycle checkpoint proteins and relief of direct repression of the targets of cell cycle checkpoint proteins. Thus, BCL6 might be considered a novel target for ATL treatment.
