ABSTRACT: The two DLBCL cell lines were treated with R406 to assess the signature of SYK inhibition. In previous studies, R406 decreased the proliferation and induced apoptosis of these surface Ig+ cell lines. In the previous studies, R406 inhibited the autophosphorylation of SYK 525/526 and SYK-dependent phosphorylation of BCR signaling components such as BLNK. RNA samples from two DLBCL cell lines, DHL4 and DHL6, treated with R406 or vehicle (DMSO) alone for 0, 2, 6, 24 or 48 hours were profiled in triplicate on Affymetrix HT_HG-U133A chips.

Project description:Small molecules not only are convenient and useful for controlling cell fates, but also can provide better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cell-fate transitions. Here, we identified that spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) inhibitor R406 could significantly promote the early stage of mouse chemical reprogramming. Furthermore, R406 alleviated the Syk-calcineurin (Cn)-nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) signaling cascade-mediated suppression of glycine, serine and threonine metabolic genes transcriptionally, which is previously unrecognized. In turn, R406 upregulated metabolites of glycine, serine and threonine metabolism and downstream transsulfuration cysteine biosynthesis pathway and cysteine metabolism. Subsequently, increased cellular hydrogen sulfide (H2S) after R406 treatment downregulated oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), modulated redox homeostasis, and significantly enhanced chemical reprogramming. In sum, our studies have not only improved the chemical reprogramming technique, but also identified interesting molecular mechanisms of chemical-induced pluripotent reprogramming, which hold great potentials in regenerative medicine.
Project description:Breast tumors are highly heterogeneous and for many molecular subtypes no targeted therapies are available. These include breast cancers that display hallmarks of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process related to metastasis and enriched in triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs). To determine whether this EMT cellular state could be therapeutically exploited, we performed a large-scale chemical genetic screen. We identified a group of structurally related compounds, including the clinically advanced drug PKC412 (midostaurin), that targeted post-EMT breast cancer cells. PKC412 induced apoptosis specifically in basal-like TNBC cells and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Structure activity relationship (SAR) studies, chemical proteomics, and computational modeling identified the kinase SYK as a critical PKC412 target. Specific SYK inhibitors and PKC412 displayed a similar profile across a large panel of breast cancer cell lines, indicating a shared mode of action. Phosphoproteomics analysis revealed that SYK activates STAT3, and chemical or genetic inhibition of STAT3 resulted in cell death in basal-like breast cancer cells. This non-oncogene addiction of basal-like breast cancer cells to SYK suggests that chemical SYK inhibition may be beneficial for a specific subset of triple negative breast cancer patients.

Project description:We used an in vivo short hairpin RNA (shRNA) screening approach to identify genes that are essential for MLL-AF9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We found that Integrin Beta 3 (Itgb3) is essential for murine leukemia cells in vivo, and for human leukemia cells in xenotransplantation studies.M-BM- In leukemia cells, Itgb3 knockdown impaired homing, downregulated LSC transcriptional programs, and induced differentiation via the intracellular kinase, Syk.M-BM- In contrast, loss of Itgb3 in normal HSPCs did not affect engraftment, reconstitution, or differentiation. M-BM- Finally, we confirmed that Itgb3 is dispensable for normal hematopoiesis and required for leukemogenesis using an Itgb3 knockout mouse model.M-BM- Our results establish the significance of the Itgb3 signaling pathway as a potential therapeutic target in AML. R940406 (R406, the active metabolite of fostamatinib) was supplied by Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., South San Francisco, CA, and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, Wilmington, DE, USA. R406 was resuspended in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Sigma-Aldrich) and stored at M-bM-^HM-^R80M-BM-0C. . HL-60, U937 and KG-1 cell lines were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection. MOLM-14 cell lines were provided by Dr. Scott Amstrong (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston MA, USA.) All cell lines were maintained in RPMI 1640 (Cellgro) supplemented with 1% penicillin-streptomycin and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Sigma-Aldrich) at 37 M-BM-0C with 5% CO2. MOLM-14, U937, HL-60 and KG-1 cells were grown in 4mM R406 for 24 hours
Project description:Background: Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins and the spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) represent promising targets in Diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) and Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL). We evaluated the anti-lymphoma activity of the isoform specific bivalent BET inhibitor AZD5153 (AZD) and the pan-BET inhibitor I-BET151 (I-BET) as single agents and in combination with SYK inhibitor Entospletinib in vitro. Methods: Single agent exposures were evaluated on two DLBCL and two BL cell lines analyzing cell proliferation and metabolic activity. Proliferation, metabolic activity, apoptosis, cell cycle and morphology were investigated after combined AZD or I-BET and Ento exposure. RNAseq of combined AZD+Ento exposure was characterized in SU-DHL-4.

RNAseq of combined AZD+Ento exposure was characterized in SU-DHL-4. Results: Both BET inhibitors reduced cell proliferation/metabolic activity dose and time de-pendently. Combined BET and SYK inhibition enhanced the anti-proliferative effect and induc-ing a G0/G1 cell cycle arrest. SU-DHL-4 demonstrated a pronounced modulation of gene expres-sion by AZD, which was markedly increased by additional SYK inhibition. Functional enrich-ment analyses identified combination-specific GO terms related to cell division, transport and DNA replication. Genes such as PLEKHH3, MYB, SLC8A1, PARP9, HSPB1 and S100A4 were iden-tified as the presumable key regulators. Conclusion: Simultaneous inhibition of BET and SYK enhanced the anti-proliferative effects, and especially the combination-specific gene expression signature.
