Protein phosphorylation is a fundamental mechanism for many intracellular processes underlying cell life. This reversible mechanism, which is triggered by intra- and extra-cellular signals, regulates metabolism, transcription, proliferation, differentiation, cell movements, and apoptosis in countless cellular functions. Protein kinases form an enzyme family that catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phosphate of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to specific hydroxyl amino acids in protein substrates. On the other hand, protein phosphatases regulate the action of kinases, playing the role of regulators in the phosphorylation processes. The present investigation summarize the current knowledge on the roles playd by phosphatases in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML).

1. Introduction

Human protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) can be categorized into about 60 trans-membrane receptors (PTKRs) and 30 non-receptor classes (PTKNRs) [1]. PTKRs may be activated by specific molecular cues, upon binding to their extracellular ligand-binding domains. These events usually induce intracellular structural reorganization, increasing affinity for substrates, and specific sub-cellular localization, to allow for the initiation of intracellular signals [2]. In contrast, PTKNRs lack transmembrane domains, localize in the cytoplasm, and are characterized by different domains, including kinase domain (KD), Src homology domains (SH2 and SH3), or other ligand-binding domains such as phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domains, involving tasks such as signals propagation and amplification [3][4]. PTKs have been predominantly implicated in cancer development, although these targets have also been considered in the treatment of illnesses such as hypertension, Parkinson’s disease, and autoimmune diseases [5]. Aberrant PTK activation in cancers is currently known to be mediated by four principal molecular mechanisms: Autocrine stimulation, chromosomal translocations, overexpression of PTKRs, or gain of-function mutations [6]. A commonly reported example is the juxtaposition of BCR on the ABL1 gene, causing the transduction of BCR-ABL1 fusion protein, a very well-studied state of kinase-alteration. The gene region involved in the translocation may generate different isoforms of the BCR-ABL1 protein, which are often associated with a specific leukemic phenotype. Unlike the Src-family kinases, where two specific phosphorylation sites (corresponding to Y416 and Y527 of the archetype SRC) control the enzyme activity with contrasting effects, the ABL family does not contain an inhibitory site but, instead, self-inhibited states are regulated by amino-terminal myristoylation of the SH2 and SH3 domains, both contributing to an inactive kinase domain conformation [7]. Moreover, ABL kinase activity depends on the tyrosine residues located on its structure, which are substrates for phosphorylation events that stabilize the open-active conformation [8]. In the fused conformation, BCR coiled-coil domains promote intermolecular cross-phosphorylation on ABL kinase, enhancing its kinase activity and promoting a constitutive activated tyrosine kinase [9]. (Figure 1).
Myeloproliferative neoplasms are clonal disorders propagated by transformed hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is one such disorders, which is characterized by a HSC mutation involving an exchange of genetic material between chromosomes 9 and 22, usually t(9;22)(q34;q11) traslocation [10]. This translocation generates a cancer-driving gene known as BCR-ABL1, coding for a dysregulated protein tyrosine kinase. Over the last 20 years, innovative cures for many common cancer types have been developed based on therapies targeting tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases. In CML, TKI-based therapy is considered the gold standard for treatment, having dramatically changed the clinical outcome since the first TKI—imatinib or Glivec® (IM)—was approved for clinical use in 2001 [11]. Since then, numerous efforts have been put forward to counter various BCR-ABL1 mutations occurring in the active kinase site, with the development of second- and third-generation TKIs over the past decade [12]. Despite the success of these inhibitors (e.g., Dasatinib, nilotinib, and bosutinib), even in contrasting the “gatekeeper” T315I mutation (ponatinib), the uncomfortable truth from numerous clinical trials indicates that the success of TKIs in achieving clinically relevant endpoints is still not optimal [13][14][15], suggesting the need to tackle additional mechanisms to achieve what is becoming a foreseeable goal: the eradication of CML. Meanwhile, further strategies are needed to prolong the survival of leukemia patients who are resistant or efractory to current chemo- and TKI-based therapies.
Copious evidence has supported the role of kinase oncogenes in cancer development. Nevertheless, there has been a heightened interest in the pivotal role of specific protein phosphatases in hematological malignant transformation processes. The human PTPome contain 107 PTPs, which are grouped into four families based on their catalytic domain amino acid sequence. Unlike protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), proteins with serine/threonine phosphatase activity are encoded by only 13 genes [16]. However while PTPs are monomers, the serine/threonine phosphatases (e.g., PP2A) are multimeric and include various regulatory sub-units, resulting in hundreds of different isoforms, which allows for the substrate specificity necessary to target thousands of phosphoproteins. The majority of oncogenes identified thus far encode protein kinases, the activity of which is required for cancer initiation and maintenance. Protein phosphatases (PPs) often counteract the action of protein kinases by removing phosphate moieties on target proteins [17][18]. Intuitively, solely considering the counterbalancing activity of protein kinases, it is possible to consider PPs to act as tumor suppressors; however, this concept represents an oversimplification. Deregulation of or changes in the expression/activities of phosphatases might tip the overall cellular homeostasis, establishing one of the mechanisms by which cells escape external and internal self-limiting signals, thus resulting in altered cellular processes [17]. Although much is known about the alterations in kinase function in CML disease, the roles of phosphatases in these same processes remain less defined and represent a matter of great interest, as the recovery of tumor- suppressor function represents a challenge in cancer treatment. Strengthening our knowledge on the biological aspects of the phosphatases and their regulation of oncogenic processes in hematological malignancy will allow us to obtain better results in our understanding of molecular networks.

2. Role of Phosphatases in the Regulation of Cell Proliferation

In the last three decades, the role of the BCR-ABL1 protein has been extensively analyzed and we have summarized the main pathways involved in Figure 2. One of the major signaling cascades that is altered involves the RAS mitogen-activated protein kinase family (MAPKs) [19], such as ERK1/2, MEK, JNK, and p38 families, which lead to insensitivity to growth factor stimuli and regulates the proliferative fate of cells [20][21]. In the active conformation, BCR-ABL1 possesses several tyrosine sites, such as Y245 in the SH2-kinase linker and Y412 in the activation loop, which are known to regulate function/activity (Figure 1). The human UBASH3B gene encodes for STS-1 phosphatase (suppressor of T-cell receptor signaling 1), the high expression of which has been correlated with the p190BCR-ABL1 form in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients’ samples [22], but is usually considered a BCR-ABL1 interactor [23][24]. In particular, other than being involved in signaling by other kinases, such as PDGFR, ZAP-70, and SYK, it can bind to the SH2–SH3 compartment of BCR-ABL1, producing strong dephosphorylation in the tyrosine sites of the ABL-portion, thus limiting its kinase activity. Remarkably, a CML-like disease mouse model with Sts-1/Sts-2 double knockout exacerbated the classical CML parameters and reduced mice survival, providing evidence supporting the leukemogenic role of Sts-1 [25]. The SH2-domain containing protein growth factor receptor bound protein-2 (GRB2) recognizes another fundamental Y177 binding site on the BCR domain which synergistically promotes CML, supporting RAS activation through Son of Sevenless (SOS) a guanine nucleotide exchange factor protein, and the scaffold adapter GAB2 (GRB2-associated binding protein 2) [26]. BCR-ABL1+ cells harboring a Y177F or SH2-domain mutation on GRB2 have exhibited less leukemogenic transformation and reduced proliferation by MAPK pathway disruption [27][28]. A recent study has also suggested that Y177 BCR-ABL1 phosphorylation is also regulated by ERα36-expression, an alternatively spliced variant of estrogen receptor α66 (ERα66), which is abnormally localized in the cytoplasm and cell membrane of BCR-ABL1+ cells. Synthetic ERα36 inhibitors prevented GRB2 from binding to BCR-ABL1, generation reduction in the downstream RAS/MAPKs pathway and cell proliferation impairment [29]. The major SHP2-binding protein in hematopoietic cells, GAB2, is part of the GRB2/GAB2 complex recruited on phosphorylated Y177. GAB2 is essential for myeloid and lymphoid leukemogenesis induced by BCR-ABL1, as demonstrated by the failure to develop a CML-like disease in a mouse model transplanted with BCR-ABL1 in GAB2−/− marrow cells. Its tyrosine phosphorylation in BCR-ABL1+ cells generates a docking site for signal cascade proteins, such as PI3K sub-unit p85α and SHP2 [30]; moreover, it induces the signal events, together with RAS activation, that lead to an increase of ERK function [27]. Downstream proliferative effects of the MAPKs pathway include transcription factors (TFs) such as NF-κB, CREB, ETS-1, AP-1, and cMYC, leading to cell cycle progression (involving CDKs) and anti-apoptotic mechanisms (involving BCL-2) [31]. SHP2 (PTPN11) plays a critical role in cell development due to its ability to support RAS/MAPK signaling, in response to numerous growth factors [32][33]. In the hematopoietic compartment, it is considered an oncogene as point mutations in its N-terminal SH2 inhibitory domain trigger the development of leukemia in different lineages [34]. An early study performed in CML CD34+ cells reported that the cytokine-independent colony formation capacity was altered by PTPN11-knockdown [35]. In particular, both mRNA and phosphoprotein levels appear to be greater in myeloid leukemia cells, addressing its presence/activity with a more hyper-proliferative phenotype [36]. Further evidence has confirmed SHP2 is required to initiate and maintain BCR-ABL1-mediated transformation, as GAB2 mutation in SH2 domain cannot bind SHP2 and, as a result, reduce myeloid and lymphoid leukemic burden. In line with this observation, various studies have described p-ERK activity reduction in BCR-ABL1 expressing myeloid cells lacking SHP2 phosphatase, thus emphasizing its role as a positive regulator of the RAS/MEK/ERK1-2 pathway in BCR-ABL1 signaling [27][37][38][39]. Speculation on reduced cell viability in this case may be traced back to RAS activation which occurs through SOS, but which also requires active SHP2 phosphatase. SHP2 can dephosphorylate and inactivate the p120 RAS-GAP protein (RAS GTPase-activating protein) by blocking its antagonistic action on RAS [33][40]. Although there are also implications for p-AKT-reduction, it seems to be mostly associated with GAB2 adapter protein impairment. On the other hand, Y177-GAB2 interaction is required to enforce another key player in leukemic transformation: Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) [27] (see Figure 2).

The PI3K/AKT signal pathway plays a crucial role in a great variety of cancers, due to its strong relation with membrane tyrosine kinase receptors which are activated by multiple extracellular stimuli (cytokines, growth factors, etc.) [41]. Reportedly, the PI3K lipid kinase consists of p85 (regulatory) and p110 (catalytic) sub-units in a heterodimeric structure that is involved in inositol lipids (PtdIns(3,4)P2) phosphorylation, usually at the inner leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane, initiating and controlling multiple cellular functions [42]. Specifically, PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 provides an anchor point for pleckstrin homology (PH) domain-containing proteins, such as activated protein kinase (AKT) and phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK-1). AKT is a serine/threonine kinase, belonging to the AGC family kinases, which is expressed in two isoforms in hematopoietic stem cells [43]. Activated p-AKT following by BCR-ABL1-activated PI3K, is able to inhibit the apoptotic process and support cell proliferation [44][45]. Skorski et al. reported the first direct data on PI3K (both sub-units) involvement in CML cell transformation [46], demonstrating how its downstream effector, AKT, was a critical growth regulatory switch in BCR-ABL1-expressing cells [47]. BCR-ABL1 can directly up-regulate AURK-A and AURK-B (serine/threonine kinases belonging to the Aurora family) through (at least in part) AKT, emphasizing a further pathway for cell, proliferation [48]. The PI3K pathway is constitutively activated in CML progenitor cells, as has been demonstrated by the elevated PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 levels found in CML progenitor cells, compared to their normal counterpart. Normal levels of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 were restored, along with their capacity to respond near-normally to cytokine stimulation, by Imatinib treatment [49]. Many studies on this signaling pathway have been deepened in CML biology, thanks to the development of specific inhibitors to curb a wide range of effectors acting on this leukemia [50][51]. Notoriously, phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) was the first tumor suppressor gene found to have a double specific phosphatase activity, acting on serine/threonine and tyrosine residues and the major antagonist of PI3K signaling, operating as a tumor suppressor in numerous solid neoplasms and leukemia [52][53]. By exploring the function of PTEN in BCR-ABL–expressing Ba/F3 cells, it has been revealed how BCR-ABL1 may induce PTEN phosphatase downregulation and a reduced p53 protein expression, regaining expression of both targets after TKI treatment [54][55]. An explanation was found in Pten gene promoter, where p53 can bind and promote its expression. Additionally, BCR-ABL1-expressing LSK cells sorted from CML mice, confirm a reduction of Pten mRNA, which also correlates with the downregulation of p53. Therefore, reduced disease progression related to PTEN expression could involve the reduction of CML cell proliferation through cell cycle arrest [54]. The nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling enables PTEN to play its proper tumor suppressive function [56]. The mono-ubiquitinated PTEN form is predominantly nuclear, where it has been shown to play a tumor-suppressive role through a proliferation control mechanism. Herpesvirus ubiquitin-specific protease (HAUSP) is a critical modulator of protein ubiquitination, possibly regulating PTEN cytosolic partitioning [57]. In CML, BCR-ABL1 might phosphorylate HAUSP, triggering PTEN nuclear exclusion and causing proliferative advantages. Therefore, HAUSP together with nuclear PTEN depict a pivotal pathway in BCR-ABL1-induced proliferation [58]. In this way, Morotti et al. showed that PTEN-tail phosphorylation, mediated by BCR-ABL1-activated casein kinase II (CKII), caused a reduction of PTEN phosphatase activity, thus uncovering another inhibition mechanism present in CML [59]. Many different mechanisms might regulate PTEN expression in leukemic cells, including epigenetic shutdown, genomic loss, transcriptional repression, post-transcriptional regulation by lncRNA or microRNAs, etc. Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) contains two methyltransferase sub-units called enhancers of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex subunit 1 and 2 (EZH1 and EZH2) that can modulate chromatin conformation by adding methyl groups on histone 3 (H3K27me2/3) [60]. EZH2 expression has been found to be upregulated in all three-phases of the disease in CML LSCs and, in particular, compared to other PRC2 components, it appears to be BCR-ABL1-kinase activity-dependent; meanwhile, EZH1 did not follow this trend, but was found to be downregulated [61][62]. Proliferation, self-renewal and viability of CML cells were drastically impeded by pharmacological interference with EZH2 activity (GSK126 inhibitor), or by reducing its expression through shRNA or in Ezh2−/− CML mice, resulting in increased survival in retroviral BCR-ABL1-transduced mouse models [61][63]. In addition, EZH2 knockdown decreased H3K27me3 levels on PTEN gene promoter and resulted in a significant increase in PTEN mRNA and protein expression in three human Ph+ cell lines, as well as in LSK (Lin/Sca-1+/c-Kit+) cells from CML mice. Zhou et al. demonstrated the EZH2 inhibition-mediated beneficial effects on leukemia cells and prolonged survival of CML mice were compromised by the concurrent transduction of shRNA targeting PTEN [63]. Modification of PTEN expression might occur through maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3), a long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) associated with many cancers which has already been shown to regulate IM resistance in CML [64]. Lower MEG3 levels have been found in advanced stages of leukemia while, to the contrary, miR-21 was found to be over-expressed which was able to interact with MEG3 by decreasing its expression. The data indicated that MEG3 binding could modify the expression of MDM2 and EZH2 mRNA levels, producing DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) protein upregulation and PTEN protein downregulation. Therefore, a reduced expression of miR-21 blocked the proliferation and promoted apoptosis of CML cells [65]. The upregulation of miR-188-5p represents another post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism for PTEN expression exhibited by CML cells. Indeed, miR-188-5p may directly target PTEN 3′-UTR, thus repressing it. Zi-Yuan Nie et al. demonstrated how the flavonoid Morin, isolated from Moraceae, might inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis by repressing miR-188-5p expression, leading to PTEN/AKT pathway inhibition in CML cells both in the K562 cell line and mouse xenograft models [44]. Yin et al. obtained relevant data on other epigenetic modifications produced by the RBP2 protein. In particular, the BCR-ABL1/RBP2/PTEN pathway represents a feedback loop which is thought to increase proliferation, leading to blast phase (BP) transition. BCR-ABL1 activity directly inhibits directly RBP2 protein expression, resulting in the inhibition of PTEN transcription. The PTP domain of PTEN shares similar features with PTP1B phosphatase, presenting the same ability to bind and limit BCR-ABL1 phosphorylation [66].
