We established two nelarabine-resistant subclones of the human T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia cell line CCRF-CEM. The resistant subclones showed changes in the expression of several genes related to nelarabine intracellular activation and inhibition of apoptosis. Activation of the Akt protein upon nelarabine treatment was observed in both subclones. The combination treatment with nelarabine and PI3K/Akt inhibitors was shown to inhibit cell growth. Cross-resistance was observed with ara-C and not with vincristine, daunorubicin, or etoposide treatment. Thus, changes in the expression of cellular activation-related genes, inhibition of apoptosis, and induction of Akt may be involved in the development of nelarabine resistance in the CCRF-CEM cell model. The use of different classes of chemotherapeutic agents and combination therapy with PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitors may be used to overcome resistance to nelarabine.
