Use of DNA-alkylating pyrrole-imidazole polyamides for anti-cancer drug sensitivity screening in PDAC

ABSTRACT: Activating mutations of the KRAS gene are found in >90% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cases. However, direct pharmacological targeting of the activated KRAS protein has been challenging. We previously reported that KR12, a DNA-alkylating pyrrole-imidazole polyamide designed to recognize the KRAS G12D/V mutation, showed an anti-tumor effect in colorectal cancer. In this study, we evaluated the anti-tumor effect of KR12 in PDAC. We found that KR12 inhibited tumor growth in a spontaneous PDAC mouse model, although the anti-tumor activity appeared to be limited in a human PDAC xenograft model. We developed a pyrrole-imidazole polyamide screening process based on the hypothesis that genetic elements otherwise unaffected by KR12 could exert attenuating effects on KRAS-suppression-resistant PDAC. We identified RAD51 as a potential therapeutic target in human PDAC cells. A RAD51 inhibitor showed an inhibitory effect on cell growth and affected the cytotoxic activity of KR12 in PDAC cells. These data suggested that the simultaneous inhibition of RAD51 and mutant KRAS blockage would be an important therapeutic strategy for PDAC.

Alkylating pyrrole-imidazole polyamide KR12 binding in colorectal cancer genomes (LS180)

Project description:Pyrrole-imidazole polyamides are versatile DNA minor groove binders and attractive therapeutic options against oncological targets, especially upon functionalization with an alkylating agent such as endo-seco-CBI. These molecules also provide an alternative for oncogenes deemed “undruggable” at the protein level, where the absence of solvent-accessible pockets or structural crevices prevent the formation of protein-inhibitor ligands; nevertheless, the genome-wide effect of pyrrole-imidazole polyamide binding remain largely unclear to-date. Here we propose a next-generation sequencing-based workflow combined with whole genome expression arrays to address such issue using a candidate anti-cancer alkylating agent, KR12, against codon 12 mutant KRAS. Biotinylating KR12 enables the means to identify its genome-wide effects in living cells and possible biological implications via a coupled workflow of enrichment-based sequencing and expression microarrays. The subsequent computational pathway and expression analyses allow the identification of its genomic binding sites, as well as a route to explore a polyamide’s possible genome-wide effects. Among the 3,343 KR12 binding sites identified in the human LS180 colorectal cancer genome, the reduction of KR12-bound gene expressions was also observed. Additionally, the coupled microarray-sequencing analysis also revealed some insights about the effect of local chromatin structure on pyrrole-imidazole polyamide, which had not been fully understood to-date. A comparative analysis with KR12 in a different human colorectal cancer genome SW480 also showed agreeable agreements of KR12 binding affecting gene expressions. Combination of these analyses thus suggested the possibility of applying this approach to other pyrrole-imidazole polyamides to reveal further biological details about the effect of polyamide binding in a genome.

Direct Targeting of MYCN Gene Amplification by Alkylating Pyrrole-Imidazole Polyamide in Neuroblastoma Cells (CHP-134)

Project description:Amplification of MYCN plays a pivotal role in multiple types of tumors and correlates with poor prognosis in high-risk neuroblastoma. Despite recent advances in the treatment of neuroblastoma, no approaches directly target the master oncogene MYCN. Difficulties in targeting the MYCN protein have inspired us to develop a new gene level inhibitory strategy using a sequence-specific gene regulator. Here we generated a MYCN-targeting pyrrole-imidazole (PI) polyamide, MYCN-A3, which directly binds to and alkylates DNA at homing motifs within MYCN transcript. Pharmacological suppression of MYCN inhibited the proliferation of cancer cells harboring MYCN amplification compared with MYCN non-amplified cancer cells. In neuroblastoma xenograft mouse models, MYCN-A3 specifically downregulated MYCN expression and suppressed tumor progression with no detectable adverse effects and resulted in prolonged overall survival. Moreover, we observed the copy number reduction of MYCN in neuroblastoma cells with MYCN amplification upon treatment with MYCN-A3 but not MYCN non-targeting PI polyamide. Expression microarray experiments were also performed to compare the genome-wide effect of MYCN-A3 with CRISPR/Cas9 silencing of MYCN (MYCNcr-a).

Project description:We report that a DNA minor groove binding hairpin pyrrole-imidazole (Py-Im) polyamide interferes with RNA polymerase II (RNAP2) activity in cell culture. Genome-wide mapping of RNAP2 binding shows reduction of occupancy preferentially at transcription start sites (TSS), while occupancy at enhancer sites are is unchanged. Genome-wide mapping of RNA polymerase II in LNCaP cells treated with DHT and DHT with Py-Im polyamide.

Transcription profiling of human lymphoblast cells from a Freidriechs Ataxia patient incubated with pyrrole-imidazole polyamides targeted to the GAA triplet repeat in the intron 1 reveals polyamides alleviate transcription inhibition associated with long repeat srepeats in Friedreicha??s ataxia

Project description:Lymphoblast cells from a patient with Freidriech's Ataxia were incubated with pyrrole-imidazole polyamides targeted to the GAA triplet repeat in the intron 1. The polyamides were shown in cell culture to increase levels of endogenous frataxin mRNA. A normal sibling derived lymphoblast cell line was used as a control. Experiment Overall Design: Normal (GM15851) and patient (GM15850) cell lines were incubated in the presence of match polyamide FA1 at 1uM, 2uM or mismatch polyamide FA2 at 2uM for 7days prior to RNA purification and microarray analysis.

Pyrrole-imidazole polyamide targeted to the REL/ELK1 overlapping sequences in the EVI1 minimal promoter

Project description:Pyrrole-imidazole polyamides (PIPs) have been shown to inhibit gene expression by interrupting the DNA-protein interface. Human Ectopic viral integration site 1 (EVI1) is an oncogenic transcription factor which plays a key role in many aggressive forms of cancer. We have developed a novel pyrrole–imidazole polyamide, PIP1 targeting the REL/ELK1 binding site in the EVI1 minimal promoter that can significantly repress the expression of EVI1 in MDA-MB-231 cells. Whole-transcriptome analysis revealed that a fraction of EVI1-driven genes were modulated by PIP1.

Effects of Oct1 inhibition in AR signaling

Project description:Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and AR downstream signalings promote prostate cancer cell proliferation. Oct1 is an AR interacting partner and regulates the transcriptional activity of AR. In order to investigate the Oct1 function in prostate cancer cells, we performed gene expression in AR-positive prostate cancer cell lines after siOct1 or pyrrole-imidazole (PI) polyamide targeting Oct1-binding treatment. We also treated cells with vehicle or androgen to analyze the effects of Oct1 on AR function. Observation of androgen dependent gene expression changes after treatment with siOct1 or polyamide targeting Oct1 with microarray.

Gene Expression Changes in a Tumor Xenograft by a Py-Im Polyamide

Project description:Gene regulation by DNA binding small molecules could have important therapeutic applications. This study reports the investigation of a DNA-binding pyrrole-imidazole polyamide targeted to bind the DNA sequence 5’-WGGWWW-3’ with reference to its potency in a subcutaneous xenograft tumor model. The molecule is capable of trafficking to the tumor site following subcutaneous injection and modulates transcription of select genes in vivo. A FITC-labeled analogue of this polyamide can be detected in tumor-derived cells by confocal microscopy. RNA deep sequencing (RNA-seq) of tumor tissue allowed the identification of further affected genes, a representative panel of which were interrogated by qRT-PCR and correlated with cell culture expression levels.
