Abstract
AbstractDrug-induced cytopenias are a prevalent and significant issue that worsens clinical outcomes and hinders the effective treatment of cancer. While reductions in blood cell numbers are classically associated with traditional cytotoxic chemotherapies, they also occur with newer targeted small molecules and the factors that determine the hematotoxicity profiles of oncologic drugs are not fully understood. Here, we explore why some Aurora kinase inhibitors cause preferential neutropenia. By studying drug responses of healthy human hematopoietic cells in vitro and analyzing existing gene expression datasets, we provide evidence that the enhanced vulnerability of neutrophil-lineage cells to Aurora kinase inhibition is caused by early developmental changes in ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter expression. These data show that hematopoietic cell-intrinsic expression of ABC transporters may be an important factor that determines how some Aurora kinase inhibitors affect the bone marrow.
