Abstract

Despite the efficacy of combination chemotherapy with arsenic trioxide (ATO), interferon α (IFN) and zidovudine (AZT) for adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), the precise mechanism underlying this combination treatment effect is unknown. In the present study, ATO/IFN/AZT was examined in an ATL leukemic cell line (S1T, non‑Tax expressing), a human T‑lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV‑1)‑infected cell line (MT2, Tax‑expressing) and primary ATL cells from patients with acute and chronic ATL. IFN/AZT marginally inhibited MT2 cell proliferation, but substantially inhibited S1T cell proliferation. IFN/AZT increased the cleavage of numerous caspases and PARP in S1T cells, and regulated the signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 and nuclear factor‑κB signaling pathway. These effects represent the potential anti‑ATL mechanisms of INF/AZT in vitro. In addition, the combination of ATO and IFN/AZT demonstrated synergistic effects on S1T cells. Therefore, the Tax‑independent mechanism underlying the anti‑ATL effect of ATO must be further elucidated.
