Drug resistance remains a significant obstacle to Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) successful treatment, often leading therapeutic failure. Our previous studies demonstrated that Glioma-associated oncogene-1 (GLI1) reduces chemotherapy sensitivity and promotes cell proliferation in AML cells. GANT61, an inhibitor of GLI1, emerges as promising candidate treatment. This study aims explore the effects combination GANT61 Adriamycin (ADR) on cells elucidate mechanisms through which may potentiate ADR. lines primary were studied evaluate GANT61. Flow cytometry assays used verify apoptosis. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) EDU+ staining observe changes viability cytotoxic effect different drugs. The transcriptomic profiles HL-60/ADR with or without treatment compared via RNA-Seq analysis. Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes (KEGG) analyses Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) performed for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) reveal underlying BCL2, Bax protein mRNA expression levels assessed by Western blot Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). found ADR synergistically inhibits while enhancing apoptosis cells, does not significantly exacerbate myelosuppression. Mechanistically, GSEA revealed enrichment gene set associated KEGG term "Apoptosis" "Lysosome" treated Meanwhile, was identified third most relevant pathway enriched lysosomal DEGs, BCL2 showed negative correlation these DEGs patients. RT-PCR analysis disclosed restrained Lastly, we proved venetoclax, inhibitor, co-treatment improved effectively reversed upregulating lysosome activities downgrading expression, providing new strategy acceptable toxicity AML-resistant
