BCR/ABL oncogenic tyrosine kinase activates STAT5, which plays an important role in leukemogenesis. The downstream effectors of the BCR/ABL-->STAT5 pathway remain poorly defined. We show here that expression of the antiapoptotic protein A1, a member of the Bcl-2 family, and the serine/threonine kinase pim-1 are enhanced by BCR/ABL. This up-regulation requires activation of STAT5 by the signaling from SH3+SH2 domains of BCR/ABL. Enhanced expression of A1 and pim-1 played a key role in the BCR… 

Figures from this paper

Targeting PIM kinases impairs survival of hematopoietic cells transformed by kinase inhibitor-sensitive and kinase inhibitor-resistant forms of Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 and BCR/ABL.
TLDR
It is suggested that PIMs are alternative therapeutic targets in PTK-mediated leukemia and that targeting the PIM kinase family could provide a new avenue to overcome resistance against small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
A Bcr/Abl-independent, Lyn-dependent Form of Imatinib Mesylate (STI-571) Resistance Is Associated with Altered Expression of Bcl-2*
TLDR
Findings indicate that activation of Lyn in leukemia cells displaying a Bcr/Abl-independent form of imatinib mesylate resistance plays a functional role in Bcl-2 up-regulation and provide a theoretical basis for the development of therapeutic strategies targeting B cl-2 in such a setting.
FoxO tumor suppressors and BCR-ABL-induced leukemia: a matter of evasion of apoptosis.
Pim-1 kinase inhibits STAT5-dependent transcription via its interactions with SOCS1 and SOCS3.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that Pim-1 inhibits STAT5-dependent transcription in cells responsive to interleukin-3, prolactin, or erythropoietin, and both Pim and SOCS family proteins may be components of a negative feedback mechanism that allows STAT5 to attenuate its own activity.
Pim-1 is up-regulated by constitutively activated FLT3 and plays a role in FLT3-mediated cell survival.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that constitutively activated FLT3 signaling up-regulates Pim-1 expression in leukemia cells, which contributes to the proliferative and antiapoptotic pathways induced by FLT 3 signaling.
with SOCS1 and SOCS3 Pim-1 kinase inhibits STAT5-dependent transcription via its interactions
TLDR
It is demonstrated that Pim-1 inhibits STAT5-dependent transcription in cells responsive to interleukin-3, prolactin or erythropoietin, and both Pim and SOCS family proteins may be components of a negative feedback mechanism that allows STAT5 to attenuate its own activity.
Role of c-Jun NH-terminal Kinase in Bcr/Abl Induced Cell Transformation: a dissertation
TLDR
The aim of this thesis is to examine the role of JNK in malignant transformation by using the Bcr/Abl oncogene as a transforming agent and dominant negative approaches demonstrate that inhibition of c-Jun or JNK prevents BCr/ Ablinduced cell transformation in vitro.
Identification of heme oxygenase-1 as a novel BCR/ABL-dependent survival factor in chronic myeloid leukemia.
TLDR
Overexpression of HO-1 in the CML-derived cell line K562 was found to counteract STI571-induced apoptosis and identifyHO-1 as a novel BCR/ABL-driven survival molecule and potential target in leukemic cells in patients with CML.

Progressive changes in the leukemogenic signaling in BCR/ABL-transformed cells
TLDR
The results suggested that ‘re-activation’ of Akt and STAT5, in the absence of functional BCR/ABL SH3+SH2 domains, may be achieved by two different mechanisms: (i) BCR orABL kinase-dependent activation of alternative pathway(s) and (ii) additional genetic changes stimulating Akt or STAT5 independently of BCR /ABL.
Bcr/Abl activates transcription of the Bcl-X gene through STAT5.
TLDR
It is suggested that constitutively activated STAT5 can increase viability and proliferation of Ba/F3 cells and may contribute to, but not likely sufficient for, the enhanced viability associated with Bcr/Abl transformation.
Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase activity is regulated by BCR/ABL and is required for the growth of Philadelphia chromosome-positive cells.
TLDR
PI-3 kinase is one of the downstream effectors of BCR/ABL tyrosine kinase in CML cells, and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction performed on single colonies to detect BCR-ABL transcripts showed that wortmannin was able to eliminate selectively CML-blast crisis cells from a mixture of normal bone marrow and Ph1 cells.
Blockade of the Bcr-Abl Kinase Activity Induces Apoptosis of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Cells by Suppressing Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 5–Dependent Expression of Bcl-XL
TLDR
It is shown that the interleukin 3-independent expression of the antiapoptotic protein, Bcl-xL, is induced by Bcr-Abl through activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat)5.
BCR/ABL Regulates Expression of the Cyclin-dependent Kinase Inhibitor p27Kip1 through the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/AKT Pathway*
TLDR
It is demonstrated that BCR/ABL inhibits the expression of a key cell cycle inhibitor, p27Kip1, by signaling through a pathway involving phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), which is likely to explain in part previous studies showing that activation of PI3K was required for optimum transformation of hematopoietic cells by BCR-ABL in vitro and in vivo.
Pim-1 kinase protects hematopoietic FDC cells from genotoxin-induced death
TLDR
Pim-1 efficiently buffers hematopoietic progenitor cells against death as induced by several clinically important apoptotic agents, and may directly target nuclear effectors.
STAT5-Dependent CyclinD1 and Bcl-xL expression in Bcr-Abl-transformed cells.
TLDR
It is shown that the antiapoptotic bcl-xL gene product and the cell cycle regulator cyclin D1 are targets of STAT5 in Bcr-Abl-transformed cells.
