Abstract

Activation of B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling is an important mechanism of the development and growth of B-cell lymphomas. Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a key component of BCR signaling and functions as an important regulator of cell proliferation and cell survival in various B-cell lymphomas. BTK inhibitors, especially ibrutinib, have shown promising anti-tumor activity in preclinical and clinical studies. High response rates of ibrutinib were reported in patients with a variety of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). However, clinical evidence shows primary and acquired resistance to BTK inhibitors in patients. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying BTK inhibitors’ resistance is of paramount importance. In this review, we highlight the potential resistant mechanisms, which include mutational resistance in BTK, mutational resistance in other proteins than in BTK, chromosomal abnormalities, activation of prosurvival pathways, B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) family members mediated resistance, and tumor microenvironment mediated resistance. We also discuss the strategies that are utilized to overcome BTK inhibitors’ resistance: non-covalent inhibitors of BTK, alternate kinase inhibitors, combination therapies with other oncogenic inhibitors, BCL-2 inhibitors, anti-CD20 antibodies, anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, CD19/CD3 bispecific antibody, or with inhibitors targeting other cellular processes.
