Inhibition of NF-κB-dependent signaling enhances sensitivity and overcomes resistance to BET inhibition in uveal melanoma

ABSTRACT: Bromodomain and extra terminal protein inhibitors (BETi) are epigenetic therapies aimed to target dysregulated gene expression in cancer cells. Despite early success of BETi in a range of malignancies, the development of drug resistance may limit their clinical application. We evaluated the mechanisms of BETi resistance in uveal melanoma (UM), a disease with little treatment options, using two approaches: a high-throughput combinatorial drug screen with the clinical BET inhibitor PLX51107, and RNA sequencing of BETi-resistant cells. We found that the NF-kB inhibitors synergistically sensitized UM cells to PLX51107 treatment. Furthermore, genes involved in NF-kB signaling were upregulated in BETi-resistant cells and the transcription factor CEBPD contributed to the mechanism of resistance. These findings suggest that inhibitors of NF-kB signaling may improve the efficacy of BET inhibition in patients with advanced UM.

Adaptation of the Kinome Promotes Resistance to BET Bromodomain Inhibitors in Ovarian Cancer

Project description:Small molecule BET bromodomain inhibitors (BETi) are actively being pursued in clinical trials for the treatment of a variety of cancers, however, the mechanisms of resistance to targeted BET protein inhibitors remain poorly understood. Using a novel mass spectrometry approach that globally measures kinase signaling at the proteomic level, we evaluated the response of the kinome to targeted BET inhibitor treatment in a panel of BRD4-dependent ovarian carcinoma (OC) cell lines. Despite initial inhibitory effects of BETi, OC cells acquired resistance following sustained treatment with the BETi, JQ1. Through application of Multiplexed Inhibitor Beads (MIBs) and mass spectrometry, we demonstrate that BETi resistance is mediated by adaptive kinome reprogramming, where activation of compensatory pro-survival kinase networks overcomes BET protein inhibition. Furthermore, drug combinations blocking these kinases may prevent or delay the development of drug resistance and enhance the efficacy of BET inhibitor therapy. RNAseq was employed to identify changes in kinase RNA expression following short term (48h) or chronic (JQ1R) JQ1 treatment in three different ovarian cancer cell lines.

BET Inhibition Enhances TNF Mediated Anti-Tumor Immunity [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Targeting chromatin binding proteins and modifying enzymes can concomitantly affect tumor cell proliferation and survival, as well as enhance anti-tumor immunity and augment cancer immunotherapies. By screening a small molecule library of epigenetics-based therapeutics, BET bromodomain inhibitors (BETi) were identified as agents that sensitize tumor cells to the anti-tumor activity of CD8+ T-cells. BETi modulated tumor cells to be sensitized to the cytotoxic effects of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF. By preventing the recruitment of BRD4 to p65-bound cis-regulatory elements, BETi suppressed the induction of inflammatory gene expression, including the key NF-B target genes BIRC2 (cIAP1) and BIRC3 (cIAP2). Disruption of pro-survival NF-B signaling by BETi led to unrestrained TNF-mediated activation of the extrinsic apoptotic cascade and tumor cell death. Administration of BETi in combination with T-cell bispecific (TCB) antibodies increased bystander killing of tumor cells and enhanced tumor growth inhibition in vivo in a TNF-dependent manner. This novel epigenetic mechanism of immunomodulation may guide future use of BETi as adjuvants for immune oncology agents.

The apoptotic network and expression of BH3-containing proteins predict phenotypic response to BET bromodomain inhibitors

Project description:Small molecule inhibitors of the bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) family of proteins are in clinical trials for a variety of cancers, but patient selection strategies are limited. This is due in part to the heterogeneity of response following BET inhibition (BETi), which includes differentiation, senescence, and cell death in subsets of cancer cell lines. To elucidate the dominant features defining response to BETi, we carried out phenotypic and gene expression analysis of both treatment naÃ¯ve cell lines and engineered tolerant lines. We found that both de novo and acquired tolerance to BET inhibition are driven by the robustness of the apoptotic response and that genetic or pharmacological manipulation of the apoptotic signaling network can modify the phenotypic response to BETi. We further identify that ordered expression of the apoptotic genes BCL2, BCL2L1, and BAD significantly predicts response to BETi. Our findings highlight the role of the apoptotic network in response to BETi, providing a molecular basis for patient stratification and combination therapies. Gene expression profiling of A375 melanoma cells or NOMO-1 AML cells treated with DMSO or the BET inhibitor, CPI203. Also, gene expression profiling of the respective derived BETi-tolerant cells treated with DMSO or CPI203.

Compensatory IKKa activation of classical NF-kB signaling during IKKb inhibition

Project description:A subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), termed activated B-cell-like (ABC) DLBCL, depends on constitutive NF-kB pathway signaling for survival. Small molecule inhibitors of IkB kinase b (IKKb), a key regulator of the NF-kB pathway, kill ABC DLBCL cells and hold promise for the treatment of this lymphoma type. We conducted an RNA interference genetic screen to investigate potential mechanisms of resistance of ABC DLBCL cells to IKKb inhibitors. We screened a library of small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) targeting 500 protein kinases for shRNAs that would kill an ABC DLBCL cell line in the presence of a small molecule IKKb inhibitor more effectively than in its absence. Two independent shRNAs targeting IKKa synergized with the IKKb inhibitor to kill three different ABC DLBCL cell lines but were not toxic by themselves. Surprisingly, IKKa shRNAs blocked the classical rather than the alternative NF-kB pathway in ABC DLBCL cells, as judged by inhibition of IkBa phosphorylation. IKKa shRNA toxicity was reversed by coexpression of wild type but not kinase inactive forms of IKKa, suggesting that IKKa may directly phosphorylate IkBa under conditions of IKKb inhibition. These results suggest that therapy for ABC DLBCL may be improved by targeting both IKKa and IKKb. Keywords: compound treatment design Gene expression profiling of OCI-Ly3 cells with or without expressing IKKa shRNA in the presence or absence of 12.5 uM IKKb inhibitor for 2 and 3 days. Four samples were analyzed.

Neuronal differentiation and cell-cycle programs mediate response to BET-bromodomain inhibition in MYC-driven medulloblastoma (ChIP-seq)

Project description:BET-bromodomain inhibition (BETi) has shown pre-clinical promise for MYC-amplified medulloblastoma. However, the mechanisms for its action, and ultimately for resistance, have not been fully defined. Here, using a combination of expression profiling, genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9-mediated loss of function and ORF/cDNA driven rescue screens, and cell-based models of spontaneous resistance, we identify bHLH/homeobox transcription factors and cell-cycle regulators as key genes mediating BETi’s response and resistance. Cells that acquire drug tolerance exhibit a more neuronally differentiated cell-state and expression of lineage-specific bHLH/homeobox transcription factors. However, they do not terminally differentiate, maintain expression of CCND2, and continue to cycle through S-phase. Moreover, CDK4/CDK6 inhibition delays acquisition of resistance. Therefore, our data provide insights about the mechanisms underlying BETi effects and the appearance of resistance and support the therapeutic use of combined cell-cycle inhibitors with BETi in MYC-amplified medulloblastoma.

Interrogating bromodomain inhibitor resistance in KMT2A-rearranged leukemia through combinatorial CRISPR screens

Project description:Bromo- and extra-terminal domain inhibitors (BETi) have exhibited therapeutic activities in many cancers, including KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2A-r) leukemia, in preclinical studies. However, the mechanisms controlling BETi response and resistance are poorly understood. We conducted genome-wide loss-of-function CRISPR screens using BETi-treated KMT2A-r cell lines. SPOP gene deficiency caused significant BETi resistance, which was further validated in cell line and xenograft models. In SPOP-knockout KMT2A-r leukemia cells, TRIM24 was identified as a SPOP substrate that mediates resistance to BETi. Additionally, proteomics analysis and a kinase-vulnerability CRISPR screen indicated that resistant cells are sensitive to GSK3 inhibition. Genetically perturbating TRIM24 or pharmaceutical inhibition of its downstream target GSK3 in SPOP-knockout cells reversed the BETi-resistance phenotype. A combination therapy regimen inhibiting both BET and GSK3 impeded leukemia progression in patient-derived xenografts in vivo. Our results revealed not only novel molecular mechanisms underlying BETi resistance but also a promising strategy for treating KMT2A-r leukemia.

CUT&RUN profiling of histone H3K27ac and H3K27me3 localization after pharmacological inhibition of EZH2 and BET proteins

Project description:NUT carcinoma (NC), an aggressive carcinoma, is driven by the BRD4-NUT fusion oncoprotein. BRD4, a BET protein, binds to chromatin through its two bromodomains, and when fused to NUT forms very large super-enhancers, termed megadomains. Targeting BRD4-NUT with BET bromodomain inhibitors (BETi) are a promising treatment, but limited as monotherapy. To identify additional dependencies in NC, we performed a genetic rescue screen in NC cells depleted of BRD4-NUT and identified EZH2 as a top correlated hit. Indeed, inhibition of EZH2 using the clinical compound, tazemetostat (taz), potently blocked growth of NC cells, and when combined with BETi was highly synergistic. Epigenetic and transcriptomic analysis revealed that taz reversed the EZH2-specific H3K27me3 silencing mark, and restored expression of multiple tumor suppressor genes while having no effect on megadomain-associated genes. CDKN2A was identified as the only amongst all taz-derepressed genes to confer resistance to taz in a CRISPR-CAS9 screen. In pre-clinical models, combined taz and BETi synergistically blocked growth and prolonged survival of NC-xenografted mice, with all mice cured in one cohort.
