Splicing modulation increases BCL2 dependence and sensitizes Multiple Myeloma cells to Venetoclax

ABSTRACT: Identification of novel vulnerabilities in the context of therapeutic resistance is emerging as key challenge for cancer treatment. Recent studies have detected pervasive aberrant splicing in cancer cells, supporting its targeting for treatment of hematological malignancies.We here evaluated the expression of several spliceosome machinery components in primary multiple myeloma (MM) cells and the impact of splicing modulations on MM cell growth and viability.Our comprehensive gene expression analysis confirmed deregulation of spliceosome machinery components in MM cells compared to normal plasma cells (PCs) from healthy donors, while pharmacological and genetic modulation of splicing confirmed significant impact on growth and survival of MM cell lines and patient-derived malignant PCs. Transcriptomic analysis revealed deregulation of BCL2 family membersincluding decrease of proapoptotic long form of myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL1) expression in cells treated with splicing inhibitors. This caused a shift in the apoptotic priming resulting in improved BCL2-dependenceand increased sensitivity to Venetoclax, a BCL2 small molecule inhibitor, in vitro and in vivo. Overall, our data provide a rationale for supporting clinical use of splicing modulators as strategy to reprogram apoptotic dependencies, making MM patients more vulnerable to BCL2 inhibitors.

HALTING THE NAD+-DEPENDENT DEACETYLASE SIRT6 UNVEILS SPLICEOSOME DEREGULATION AS EXPLOITABLE VULNERABILITY FOR AGGRESSIVE MYELOMA

Project description:Epigenetic defects play a major role in tumors, by promoting aggressiveness, drug resistance and disease progression. Targeting enzymes responsible for these changes holds promise but the knowledge-gap and lack of selective inhibitors severely hampers their clinical use. Recently, we found that Multiple Myeloma (MM) cells exhibit high level of NAD+-dependent deacetylase SIRT6 as an adaptive response to their intrinsic genomic instability. Here we focus on splicing-related events resulting as the most enriched pathways among MM patients with high SIRT6 levels. CoMMpass dataset analysis confirmed the prognostic role of SIRT6 in MM, with its presence correlating with poor outcome and aggressiveness. Transcriptome analysis of SIRT6-depleted MM cells indicated spliceosome perturbation as critical: chemical and genetic approaches resulted in enhanced anti-MM activity of spliceosome modulator Sudamycin D6 (SD6) thus supporting RNA splicing deregulation as vulnerability for these cells. Spliceosome is a therapeutic weakness for MYC-driven cancer, as such we found that while c-MYC oncogene loss shows resistance, its re-expression enhances efficacy of tested strategy. A direct role for SIRT6 on splicing factors genes was also demonstrated using ChIP-seq analyses. Overall, the dysregulated spliceosome activity triggered by epigenetic machinery blocking represents a novel therapeutic strategy for poor-prognosis subset of MM patients overexpressing c-MYC

Proteasome inhibitor-induced modulation reveals the spliceosome as a specific therapeutic vulnerability in multiple myeloma

Project description:Resistance to proteasome inhibitors (PIs) is a ubiquitous clinical concern in multiple myeloma (MM). We proposed that signaling-level responses after PI would reveal new means to enhance efficacy. Unbiased phosphoproteomics after the PI carfilzomib surprisingly demonstrated the most prominent phosphorylation changes on spliceosome components. Spliceosome modulation was invisible to RNA or protein abundance alone. Transcriptome analysis demonstrated broad-scale intron retention suggestive of PI-specific splicing interference. Direct spliceosome inhibition synergized with carfilzomib and showed potent anti-myeloma activity. Functional genomics and exome sequencing further supported the spliceosome as a specific vulnerabilityin myeloma. Our results propose splicing interference as an unrecognized modality of PI mechanism, reveal additional modes of spliceosome modulation, and suggest spliceosome targeting as a promising therapeutic strategy in myeloma.

Phenotypic, transcriptomic and genomic characterization of clonal plasma cells in light chain amyloidosis [Copy number analysis]

Project description:Immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis (AL) is a rare clonal plasma cell (PC) disorder that remains largely incurable. AL and multiple myeloma (MM) share the same cellular origin, but while knowledge about MM PC biology has improved significantly, the same does not apply for AL. Here, we undertook an integrative phenotypic, molecular, and genomic approach to study clonal PCs from 22 newly-diagnosed AL patients. Through principal-component-analysis, we demonstrated highly overlapping phenotypic profiles between AL and MGUS or MM patients. However, in contrast to MM, highly-purified FACSs-sorted clonal PCs in AL (n=9/22) show virtually normal transcriptomes with only 68 deregulated genes as compared to normal PCs, including a few tumor suppressor (CDH1, RCAN) and pro-apoptotic (GLIPR1, FAS) genes. Notwithstanding, clonal PCs in AL (n=11/22) were genomically unstable with a median of 9 copy-number-abnormities (CNAs) per case; many of which similar to those found in MM. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed in three AL patients and revealed a median of 10 non-recurrent mutations per case. Altogether, we showed that although clonal PCs in AL display phenotypic and CNA profiles similar to MM, their transcriptome is remarkably similar to that of normal PCs. First-ever WES revealed the lack of a unifying mutation in AL

A novel regulatory mechanism of U2 spliceosome proteostasis that controls the transcriptome and therapy response in cancer [TTseq_CUTLL1_E7107_15min]

Project description:Aberrant splicing is an important cause of cancer, and the production of noncanonical, cancer-specific, mRNA transcripts associate with transformation. Studies have focused on characterizing the effect of spliceosome mutations on disease progression. Here, we have uncovered a novel mode of regulation of the U2 complex component SF3B1 in leukemia via lysosomal degradation. Elevated levels of SF3B1 protein control splicing and active transcription via direct interaction with the general transcriptional machinery and are critical for leukemia growth due to the control of cell cycle and DNA damage response-related transcripts, such as the serine/threonine kinase CHEK2. We further exploited these findings to show that clinically-used SF3B1 inhibitors synergize with transcriptional inhibitors, CHEK2 inhibitors and chemotherapy drugs to block leukemia growth. Our study provides the proof-of-principle for post-translational regulation of the splicing machinery via the lysosome and associated splicing-dependent and -independent roles of the U2 complex in cancer, that can be exploited for therapeutic purposes.
