“…KPT-9274 was found to effectively suppress the cell proliferation of multiple myeloma ( Fulciniti et al, 2017 ), leukemia ( Mitchell et al, 2019 ), and lymphoma ( Khan et al, 2021 ) in a time- or dose-dependent manner with no damage on the viability of normal cells such as bone marrow stromal cells ( Fulciniti et al, 2017 ), normal hematopoietic progenitors ( Mitchell et al, 2019 ), and peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( Khan et al, 2021 ). Mechanism studies reveal that treatment with KPT-9274 induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, evidenced by the elevation of apoptosis-related markers cleaved caspase 3 and cleaved PARP in REH and SUP-B15 cell lines ( Takao et al, 2018 ), and reduction of cell cycle markers ( Khan et al, 2021 ) CDK2 and CDK4. Meanwhile, as a NAMPT inhibitor, KPT-9274 disrupts the binding of nicotinamide with NAMPT ( Mitchell et al, 2019 ), thus decreasing the NAD/NADH ratios and the levels of ATP in both WSU-DLCL2 and WSU-FSCCL cells ( Khan et al, 2021 ).…”
