Abstract

Because accumulation of potentially toxic malfolded protein may be extensive in immunoglobulin-producing multiple myeloma (MM) cells, we investigated the phenomenon of autophagy in myeloma, a physiologic process that can protect against malfolded protein under some circumstances. Autophagy in MM cell lines that express and secrete immunoglobulin and primary specimens was significantly increased by treatment with the endoplasmic reticulum stress–inducing agent thapsigargin, the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor rapamycin, and the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. Inhibition of basal autophagy in these cell lines and primary cells by use of the inhibitors 3-methyladenine and chloroquine resulted in a cytotoxic effect that was associated with enhanced apoptosis. Use of small interfering RNA to knock down expression of beclin-1, a key protein required for autophagy, also inhibited viable recovery of MM cells. Because the data suggested that autophagy protected MM cell viability, we predicted that autophagy inhibitors would synergize with bortezomib for enhanced antimyeloma effects. However, the combination of these drugs resulted in an antagonistic response. In contrast, the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine did synergize with thapsigargin for an enhanced cytotoxic response. These data suggest that autophagy inhibitors have therapeutic potential in myeloma but caution against combining such drugs with bortezomib. [Mol Cancer Ther 2009;8(7):1974–84]
