Proteogenetic drug response profiling elucidates targetable vulnerabilities of myelofibrosis.

ABSTRACT: Myelofibrosis is a hematopoietic stem cell disorder belonging to the myeloproliferative neoplasms. Myelofibrosis patients frequently carry driver mutations in either JAK2 or Calreticulin (CALR) and have limited therapeutic options. Here, we integrate ex vivo drug response and proteotype analyses across myelofibrosis patient cohorts to discover targetable vulnerabilities and associated therapeutic strategies. Drug sensitivities of mutated and progenitor cells were measured in patient blood using high-content imaging and single-cell deep learning-based analyses. Integration with matched molecular profiling revealed three targetable vulnerabilities. First, CALR mutations drive BET and HDAC inhibitor sensitivity, particularly in the absence of high Ras pathway protein levels. Second, an MCM complex-high proliferative signature corresponds to advanced disease and sensitivity to drugs targeting pro-survival signaling and DNA replication. Third, homozygous CALR mutations result in high endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, responding to ER stressors and unfolded protein response inhibition. Overall, our integrated analyses provide a molecularly motivated roadmap for individualized myelofibrosis patient treatment.

Project description:Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, with a strong predilection for hepatic metastasis, occurring in approximately 50% of cases. Metastatic UM remains highly resistant to therapy and is almost invariably fatal. The strongest genetic drivers of UM metastasis are loss-of-function mutations in tumor suppressor BAP1, an epigenetic regulator that serves as the ubiquitin hydrolase subunit of the polycomb repressive deubiquitinase (PR-DUB) complex, and a key player in global epigenetic regulation. Inactivation of BRCA Associated Protein 1 (BAP1) has been shown to induce widespread epigenetic alterations across multiple model systems. To identify novel therapeutic strategies, we investigated whether targeting the epigenome could reveal new vulnerabilities in UM. We performed high-throughput compound screening using a curated epigenetic inhibitor library and identified BET (bromodomain and extra-terminal domain) inhibition as a particularly promising approach. Interestingly, we observed significant heterogeneity in the efficacy of different BET inhibitors in UM. While previous clinical trials with two BET inhibitors have failed to show efficacy in UM, our findings highlight substantial differences in the potency of specific BET inhibitors for this malignancy. Notably, the BET inhibitor mivebresib (ABBV-075) significantly improved survival rates by 50% in a metastatic UM xenograft mouse model and completely prevented detectable metastases in the bones, spinal cord, and brain. Unexpectedly, RNA sequencing revealed a strong transcriptional overlap between BET inhibition and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition-- an approach currently under clinical evaluation for UM treatment. Both BET and HDAC inhibitors reversed gene expression signatures associated with high metastatic risk and induced a neuronal differentiation-like phenotype in UM cells. Together, our findings demonstrate that UM cells exhibit a distinct vulnerability to BET inhibition and establish BET inhibitors as promising candidates for further clinical evaluation for metastatic UM.
