Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is driven by the oncoprotein PML-RARα, which antagonizes myeloid differentiation and promotes APL-initiating cell self-renewal. Combined all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) with arsenic trioxide (As2O3) or chemotherapy dramatically improves the prognosis of APL patients. Here we report that expression of pseudokinase Tribble 3 (TRIB3) associates positively with APL progression and therapeutic resistance. The elevated TRIB3 expression promotes APL by interacting with PML-RARα and suppressing its sumoylation, ubiquitylation, and degradation. This represses PML nuclear body assembly, p53-mediated senescence, and cell differentiation, and supports cellular self-renewal. Genetically inhibiting TRIB3 expression or combination of a peptide disturbing TRIB3/PML-RARα interaction with ATRA/As2O3 eradicates APL by accelerating PML-RARα degradation. Our study provides insight into APL pathogenesis and a potential therapeutic option against APL.

•High TRIB3 expression promotes APL progression and resistance to therapy•TRIB3 inhibits PML-NBs, senescence, and differentiation but supports cell renewal•TRIB3/PML-RARα interaction inhibits PML-RARα sumoylation and degradation•Disturbing this interaction in cooperation with ATRA or As2O3 eradicates APL
Li et al. find that TRIB3 promotes acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) by suppressing PML-RARα degradation and that the TRIB3 level correlates with APL progression and therapeutic resistance. Disrupting the TRIB3/PML-RARα interaction with a peptide in combination with ATRA or As2O3 suppresses APL in vivo.
