The BCR/ABL oncogene causes chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by clonal expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells and granulocyte lineage cells. The SH2-containing inositol-5-phosphatase SHIP is a 145-kDa protein which has been shown to regulate hematopoiesis in mice. Targeted disruption of the murine SHIP gene results in a myeloproliferative syndrome characterized by a dramatic increase in numbers of granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells in the marrow and spleen. Also, hematopoietic progenitor cells from SHIP(-/-) mice are hyperresponsive to certain hematopoietic growth factors, a phenotype very similar to the effects of BCR/ABL in murine cells. In a series of BCR/ABL-transformed hematopoietic cell lines, Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive cell lines, and primary cells from patients with CML, the expression of SHIP was found to be absent or substantially reduced compared to untransformed cell lines or leukemia cells lacking BCR/ABL. Ba/F3 cells in which expression of BCR/ABL was under the control of a tetracycline-inducible promoter showed rapid loss of p145 SHIP, coincident with induction of BCR/ABL expression. Also, an ABL-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, CGP57148B (STI571), rapidly caused reexpression of SHIP, indicating that BCR/ABL directly, but reversibly, regulates the expression of SHIP protein. The estimated half-life of SHIP protein was reduced from 18 h to less than 3 h. However, SHIP mRNA also decreased in response to BCR/ABL, suggesting that SHIP protein levels could be affected by more than one mechanism. Reexpression of SHIP in BCR/ABL-transformed Ba/F3 cells altered the biological behavior of cells in culture. The reduction of SHIP due to BCR/ABL is likely to directly contribute to the pathogenesis of CML.
