- Abstract
Neoangiogenesis plays an important role in leukemogenesis. We investigated the in vivo anti-leukemic effect of ABT-869 against AML with wild-type FLT3 using RFP transfected HL60 cells with in vivo imaging technology on both the subcutaneous and systemic leukemia xenograft models. ABT-869 showed a five-fold inhibition of tumor growth in comparison with vehicle control. IHC analysis revealed that ABT-869 decreased p-VEGFR1, Ki-67 labeling index, VEGF and remarkably increased apoptotic cells in the xenograft models. ABT-869 also reduced the leukemia burden and prolonged survival. Our study supports the rationale for clinically testing an anti-angiogenesis agent in AML with wild-type FLT3.
