A multifunctional cross-validation high-throughput screening protocol enabling the discovery of new SHP2 inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: The protein tyrosine phosphatase Src homology phosphotyrosyl phosphatase 2 (SHP2) is implicated in various cancers, and targeting SHP2 has become a promising therapeutic approach. We herein described a robust cross-validation high-throughput screening protocol that combined the fluorescence-based enzyme assay and the conformation-dependent thermal shift assay for the discovery of SHP2 inhibitors. The established method can effectively exclude the false positive SHP2 inhibitors with fluorescence interference and was also successfully employed to identify new protein tyrosine phosphatase domain of SHP2 (SHP2-PTP) and allosteric inhibitors. Of note, this protocol showed potential for identifying SHP2 inhibitors against cancer-associated SHP2 mutation SHP2-E76A. After initial screening of our
