Functional validation of pro-survival protein members of the BCL-2 family in two distinct T cell lymphoma (T-NHL) mouse models identified Mcl-1 as a key player for sustained T-NHL cell survival ex vivo and in vivo. Furthermore, partial loss of Mcl-1 increased the susceptibility of T-NHL cells to chemotherapeutics, and delayed lymphoma progression. Lymphoma viability remained unaffected by the genetic deletion or pharmacologic inhibition of alternative BCL-2 family members. Human expression data showed high Mcl-1 mRNA expression across various T-NHL subtypes, indicating that MCL-1 plays also a role for survival of human T-NHL cells.
