Bcl-2 is a potent suppressor of apoptosis, and its overexpression contributes to tumorigenesis in many types of human cancers. To test the possibility of modulating Bcl-2 function as an anticancer strategy, a cell permeable Bcl-2 binding peptide, cell permeable moiety (cpm)-1285, was designed by chemically attaching a fatty acid to a peptide derived from the proapoptotic protein Bad. cpm-1285 entered HL-60 tumor cells, bound Bcl-2 protein, and induced apoptosis in vitro. In contrast, cpm-1285 had little effect on normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Furthermore, cpm-1285 had in vivo activity in slowing human myeloid leukemia growth in severe combined immunodeficient mice. These results demonstrate a novel approach for therapeutic intervention of tumor growth in vivo with small molecule inhibitors of Bcl-2.
