The role of PDE7A in Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) growth and progression


ABSTRACT: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer, associated with poor response to therapies and high mortality. We identify that phosphodiesterase 7A (PDE7A) is overexpressed in the majority of TNBC, and a higher level of PDE7A associates with poor prognosis. The PI3K/AKT pathway, via the transcription factor IRF1, stimulates the expression of PDE7A in TNBC cells. PDE7A inhibition attenuates TNBC growth in both cell culture and mouse models of TNBC. Inhibition of PDE7A suppresses de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, in part through the downregulation of the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). DHODH suppression attenuates TNBC tumor growth, mirroring the effects of PDE7A inhibition, and ectopic DHODH expression rescues PDE7A-inhibition-induced tumor suppression. Pharmacological co-targeting of PDE7A and DHODH potently inhibits TNBC tumor growth and metastasis. These findings identify the PDE7A→ DHODH→ de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway as a key driver of TNBC, offering additional therapeutic opportunities for TNBC patients.
