Project description:Immunotherapeutics represent highly promising agents with the potential to improve patient outcomes in a variety of cancer types. Unfortunately, single-agent immunotherapy has achieved limited clinical benefit to date in patients suffering from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This may be due to the presence of a uniquely immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) present in PDACs, which creates a barrier to effective immune surveillance. Critical obstacles to immunotherapy in PDAC tumors include the dense desmoplastic stroma that acts as a barrier to T-cell infiltration and the high numbers of tumor-associated immunosuppressive cells. We have identified hyperactivated focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity in neoplastic PDAC cells as a significant regulator of the fibrotic and immunosuppressive TME. We found that FAK activity was elevated in human PDAC tissues and correlates with high levels of fibrosis and poor CD8+ cytotoxic T-cell infiltration. Single-agent FAK inhibition (VS-4718) dramatically limited tumor progression, resulting in a doubling of survival in the p48-Cre/LSL-KrasG12D/p53Flox/+ (KPC) mouse model of human PDAC. This alteration in tumor progression was associated with dramatically reduced tumor fibrosis, decreased numbers of tumor-infiltrating immature myeloid cells and immunosuppressive macrophages. We postulated that these desirable effects of FAK inhibition on the TME might render PDAC tumors more sensitive to immunotherapy. Accordingly, we found that VS-4718 rendered the previously unresponsive KPC mouse model responsive to anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4 antagonists leading to a nearly tripling of survival times. These data suggest that FAK inhibition increases immune surveillance by overcoming the fibrotic and immunosuppressive PDAC TME thus rendering tumors more responsive to immunotherapy. We treated KP orthotopic tumor-bearing mice with vehicle and FAK inhibitor (FAKi) for 14 days, then extracted total RNA from tumor tissues.

Project description:Major efforts are underway to identify agents that can potentiate effects of immune checkpoint inhibition. Here, we show that ascorbic acid (AA) treatment caused genome wide demethylation and enhanced expression of endogenous retroviral elements in lymphoma cells. AA also increased 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) levels of CD8+ T cells and enhanced their cytotoxic activity in a lymphoma co-culture system. High-dose AA treatment synergized with anti-PD1 therapy in a syngeneic lymphoma mouse model, resulting in marked inhibition of tumor growth compared with either agent alone. Analysis of the intra-tumoral epigenome revealed increased 5hmC with AA treatment, consistent with in vitro findings. Analysis of the tumor immune microenvironment revealed that AA strikingly increased intra-tumoral infiltration of CD8+ T cells and macrophages, suggesting enhanced tumor immune recognition. The combination treatment markedly enhanced intra-tumoral infiltration of macrophages and CD8+ T lymphocytes, granzyme B production by cytotoxic cells (cytotoxic T cells and Natural Killer cells), and IL-12 production by antigen presenting cells compared with single agent anti-PD1. These data indicate that AA potentiates anti-PD1 checkpoint inhibition through synergistic mechanisms. The study provides compelling rationale for testing combinations of AA and anti-PD1 agents in lymphoma patients as well as in pre-clinical models of other malignancies.

Project description:Glutathione S-transferase omega 1 (GSTO1) is an atypical GST isoform that is overexpressed in several cancers and has been implicated in drug resistance. Currently, no small-molecule drug targeting GSTO1 is under clinical development. In this study we show that silencing of GSTO1 with siRNA significantly impairs cancer cell viability, validating GSTO1 as a potential new target in oncology. We report on the development and characterization of a series of chloroacetamide-containing potent GSTO1 inhibitors. Co-crystal structures of GSTO1 with our inhibitors demonstrate covalent binding to the active site cysteine. These potent GSTO1 inhibitors suppress cancer cell growth, enhance the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin, and inhibit tumor growth in colon cancer models as single agent. Bru-seq-based transcription profiling unraveled novel roles for GSTO1 in cholesterol metabolism, oxidative and endoplasmic stress responses, cytoskeleton, and cell migration. Our findings demonstrate the therapeutic utility of GSTO1 inhibitors as anticancer agents and identify novel cellular pathways under GSTO1 regulation in colorectal cancer.

Project description:We sought to investigate the anticancer effects of the novel FOXM1 inhibitor, STL001 in a variety of human cancers from solid tumors including ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancers. Here, the capacity of the novel compounds STL001 as FOXM1 inhibitor was verified in human cancer cell lines from solid tumors. Further, we showed here that FOXM1 inhibitor STL001 treatment resulted in sensitization of cancer cells to apoptotic death by multiple chemotherapeutic agents. STL001 was studied further to verify its direct target engagement with FOXM1. We have also provided Transcriptome-supported evidence that STL001 exhibits selectivity toward suppressing FOXM1-controlled regulatory pathways. This study verify and characterize a novel FOXM1 inhibitor STL001 that effectively antagonize FOXM1 activity and sensitize a variety of human cancer cells to traditionally used chemotherapy agents, and may be suitable for further clinical evaluation in targeting chemotherapy resistance human cancers.

Project description:Myelofibrosis is often associated with the myeloproliferative neoplasms and expression of oncogenic JAK2 mutants. Patients with myelofibrosis have diminished quality of life due to systemic symptoms arising from fibrotic changes in the bone marrow. The introduction of the JAK2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib, has been of benefit in the treatment of myelofibrosis patients however, it is not curative and there is still a requirement for new targeted therapies to eradicate the cells at the heart of myelofibrosis pathology. Repurposing drugs bypasses many of the hurdles present in drug development, such as toxicity and pharmacodynamic profiling. To this end we undertook a re-analysis of our pre-existing proteomic data sets to identify perturbed biochemical pathways and their associated drugs/inhibitors to potentially target the cells driving myelofibrosis. This approach identified CBL0137 as a candidate for targeting JAK2 mutant driven malignancies. We therefore assessed CBL0137 as a new agent to extinguish JAK2 mutant primitive cells and show its ability to preferentially target cells from MF patients compared to healthy control cells. Further we define its mechanistic action in primary haemopoietic progenitor cells and demonstrate its ability to reduce splenomegaly and reticulocyte number in a transgenic murine model of myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Project description:MALT1 protease inhibition is effective in several preclinical models of autoimmunity and B cell malignancies. However, severe reduction in regulatory T cells (Tregs) and an associated IPEX-like pathology was observed in mice with congenital deficiency of MALT1. Rats treated with MLT-943, a novel potent and selective MALT1 inhibitor showed a rapid and dose-dependent reduction in Tregs and resulted in the progressive appearance of immune abnormalities and clinical signs of an IPEX-like pathology, including severe intestinal inflammation associated with mast cell activation, high serum IgE levels, systemic T cell activation and mononuclear cell infiltration in multiple tissues. Gene expression profiling of rat jejunum was performed to understand the molecular events related to the aforementioned morphological changes. MLT-943 induced a dose-dependent up-regulation of a mast cell, cytotoxic T cells and interferon signatures in rat jejunum. Of note, T cells and IFNγ were described as major drivers of the pathology occurring in MALT1 protease dead animals.

Project description:Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) represent one of the most aggressive childhood malignancies. No effective treatment options are available, and prognosis is therefore dismal. Previous studies have demonstrated that tumor organoids capture the heterogeneity of patient tumors and can be used to predict patient therapy response. Here, we perform drug screening on patient-derived normal and tumor organoids to identify MRT-specific therapeutic vulnerabilities. We identify neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 as a potential therapeutic agent. Mechanistically, we find increased neddylation in MRT organoids and tissues and show that MLN4924 induces a cytotoxic response via upregulation of the unfolded protein response. Lastly, we demonstrate in vivo efficacy in an MRT PDX mouse model, in which single agent MLN4924 treatment significantly extends survival. Our study demonstrates that organoids can be used to find drugs selectively targeting tumor cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed and proposes neddylation inhibition as therapeutic strategy in MRT.
