Synthesis of artificial substrate based on inhibitor for detecting LSD1 activity.

ABSTRACT: Lysine methylation is one of the most important modification, which is regulated by histone lysine methyltransferases and histone lysine demethylases. Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) specifically demethylates mono- and dimethyl-lysine on histone H3 (H3K4Me/Me₂, H3K9Me/Me₂) to control chromatin structure, resulting in transcriptional repression or activation of target genes. Furthermore, LSD1 is overexpressed in various cancers. Therefore, LSD1 inhibitors would be not only potential therapeutic agents for cancers but also chemical tools to research biological significance of LSD1 in physiological and pathological events. However, known assay methods to date have some inherent drawbacks. The development of simple method in detecting LSD1 activity has been indispensable to identify useful inhibitors. In this study, we designed and synthesized artificial substrates based on inhibitors of LSD1 to examine LSD1 activity by an absorption increment.

Project description:BackgroundCC-90011 is an oral, potent, selective, reversible inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) that was well tolerated, with encouraging activity in patients who had advanced solid tumors or relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma. The authors present long-term safety and efficacy and novel pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data from the first-in-human study of CC-90011.MethodsCC-90011-ST-001 (ClincalTrials.gov identifier NCT02875223; Eudract number 2015-005243-13) is a phase 1, multicenter study in which patients received CC-90011 once per week in 28-day cycles. The objectives were to determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose, and/or recommended phase 2 dose (primary) and to evaluate preliminary efficacy and pharmacokinetics (secondary).ResultsSixty-nine patients were enrolled, including 50 in the dose-escalation arm and 19 in the dose-expansion arm. Thrombocytopenia was the most common treatment-related adverse event and was successfully managed with dose modifications. Clinical activity with prolonged, durable responses were observed, particularly in patients who had neuroendocrine neoplasms. In the dose-escalation arm, one patient with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma achieved a complete response (ongoing in cycle 58). In the dose-expansion arm, three patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms had stable disease after nine or more cycles, including one patient who was in cycle 46 of ongoing treatment. CC-90011 decreased levels of secreted neuroendocrine peptides chromogranin A, progastrin-releasing peptide, and RNA expression of the blood pharmacodynamic marker monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation-associated.ConclusionsThe safety profile of CC-90011 suggested that its reversible mechanism of action may provide an advantage over other irreversible LSD1 inhibitors. The favorable tolerability profile, clinical activity, durable responses, and once-per-week dosing support further exploration of CC-90011 as monotherapy and in combination with other treatments for patients with advanced solid tumors and other malignancies.

Project description:Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) targets cellular proteins, including histone H3, p53, E2F, and Dnmt1, and is involved in the regulation of gene expression, DNA replication, the cell cycle, and the DNA damage response. LSD1 catalyzes demethylation of histone H3K9 associated with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) immediate early (IE) promoters and is necessary for IE gene expression, viral DNA replication, and reactivation from latency. We previously found that LSD1 associates with HSV-1 replication forks and replicating viral DNA, suggesting that it may play a direct role in viral replication or coupled processes. We investigated the effects of the LSD1 inhibitor SP-2509 on the HSV-1 life cycle. Unlike previously investigated LSD1 inhibitors tranylcypromine (TCP) and OG-L002, which covalently attach to the LSD1 cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) to inhibit demethylase activity, SP-2509 has previously been shown to inhibit LSD1 protein-protein interactions. We found that SP-2509 does not inhibit HSV-1 IE gene expression or transcription factor and RNA polymerase II (Pol II) association with viral DNA prior to the onset of replication. However, SP-2509 does inhibit viral DNA replication, late gene expression, and virus production. We used EdC labeling of nascent viral DNA to image aberrant viral replication compartments that form in the presence of SP-2509. Treatment resulted in the formation of small replication foci that colocalize with replication proteins but are defective for Pol II recruitment. Taken together, these data highlight a potential new role for LSD1 in the regulation of HSV-1 DNA replication and gene expression after the onset of DNA replication.IMPORTANCE Treatment of HSV-1-infected cells with SP-2509 blocked viral DNA replication, gene expression after the onset of DNA replication, and virus production. These data support a potential new role for LSD1 in the regulation of viral DNA replication and successive steps in the virus life cycle, and further highlight the promising potential to utilize LSD1 inhibition as an antiviral approach.
