Abstract | The survival of leukemic cells is significantly influenced by the bone marrow microenvironment, where stromal cells play a crucial role. While there has been substantial progress in understanding the mechanisms and pathways involved in this crosstalk, limited data exist regarding the impact of leukemic cells on bone marrow stromal cells and their potential role in drug resistance. In this study, we identify that leukemic cells prime bone marrow stromal cells towards osteoblast lineage and promote drug resistance. This biased differentiation of stroma is accompanied by dysregulation of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Inhibition of Wnt signaling in stroma reversed the drug resistance in leukemic cells, which was further validated in leukemic mice models. This study evaluates the critical role of leukemic cells in establishing a drug-resistant niche by influencing the bone marrow stromal cells. Additionally, it highlights the potential of targeting Wnt signaling in the stroma by repurposing an anthelmintic drug to overcome the microenvironment-mediated drug resistance. |
