Project description:Purpose: Compare transcriptional changes between drug treated (gilteritinib, TP-0903) and vehicle in acute myeloid leukemia xenografts. Methods: FLT3-ITD+ MOLM13-RES-Luc+ (MOLM13 cells with a D835Y mutation generating a resistant phenotype) AML cells were xenografted into NSG mice. Mice were randomized according to bioluminescence imaging, and treatment of FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (gilteritinib, 30 mg/kg, once daily for 5 days/week) was started on day 13 post-tail vein injection. At study end point, mice were humanely euthanized and bone marrow was collected. AML cells (human CD45+) were isolated, and ATAC-seq was performed on HiSeq 4000, total RNA. Sequencing reads were aligned and analyzed for differential gene expression of treatment vs vehicle cohorts. Results: The analysis revealed the chromatin accessibility changes induced by gilteritinib in MOLM13-RES AML xenograft model.

Project description:While clinical benefit has been observed with gilteritinib, most patients relapse through unknown mechanisms. To investigate mechanisms of gilteritinib resistance, we performed targeted genomic sequencing and single cell (sc) RNASeq on primary FLT3-ITD-mutated AML samples. Co-occurring mutations in RAS pathway genes were the most common. In gilteritinib-unresponsive patients, increased expression of bone marrow-derived hematopoietic cytokines and chemokines was observed after treatment compared to gilteritinib-sensitive patients. Expression of the TEK-family kinase, BMX, was higher in gilteritinib-unresponsive patients after treatment compared to gilteritinib-sensitive patients. BMX contributed to gilteritinib resistance in FLT3-mutant cells lines in a hypoxia-dependent manner by promoting pSTAT5 signaling, which was reversed with pharmacological inhibition and genetic knockout. In primary FLT3-mutated AML samples, pharmacological inhibition of BMX enhanced the antileukemic activity of gilteritinib and decreased chemokine expression. Gene module analysis associated gilteritinib responsiveness with lymphocyte differentiation and myeloid leukocyte activation. By contrast, unresponsiveness to gilteritinib associated with upregulation of cell-cycle, DNA/RNA metabolic processes, and protein translation. Together, these data support a role for microenvironment-mediated factors modulated by BMX in the escape from targeted therapy and gilteritinib resistance. This analysis provides a deeper understanding of targets and pathways for potential therapeutic intervention to restore gilteritinib sensitivity.

Project description:Kinase hyperactivity is a common driver of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and serves as a therapeutic target. The most frequent genetic aberration leading to hyperactive kinase signaling and poor prognosis is internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the FMS-tyrosine-like Kinase 3-gene (FLT3). FLT3-ITD induces ligand independent activation of FLT3 and downstream pathways leading to proliferation, decreased apoptosis and partial differentiation block. Combined with chemotherapy, FLT3-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (FLT3-TKI) midostaurin improves overall survival (OS) of newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML patients, whereas single agent gilteritinib proved superior to chemotherapy in relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated AML patients . As the primary targets of currently approved FLT3-TKIs are tyrosine (Y) kinases, we hypothesized that direct evaluation of tyrosine phosphorylation status could reveal pY phosphorylation profiles associated with FLT3-TKI response. Therefore, we used label-free pTyr-based phosphoproteomics in 35 primary AML samples (18 FLT3-WT, 17 FLT3-ITD), to identify differentially phosphorylated proteins underlying response to the FLT3-TKIs gilteritinib and midostaurin. We identified a total of 3024 unique phosphosites (median 1299 per sample, range 286 – 1612, pS:pT:pY 11.9%:9.5%:78.6%). Due to low number of identified phosphosites, we excluded two samples from further analyses. On the remaining 33 samples, we additionally performed IMAC global phosphoproteomics and on 17 samples protein expression analysis.

Methods: FLT3-ITD+ MOLM13-Luc+ AML cells were xenografted into NSG mice. Mice were randomized according to bioluminescence imaging, and treatment of FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TP-0903, 60 mg/kg, once daily for 5 days/week; gilteritinib, 30 mg/kg, once daily for 5 days/week) was started on day 7 post-tail vein injection. At study end point, mice were humanely euthanized and bone marrow was collected. AML cells (human CD45+) were isolated, and RNA-seq was performed on total RNA. Sequencing reads were aligned and analyzed for differential gene expression of treatment vs vehicle cohorts. Results: The analysis revealed the transcriptional changes induced by TP-0903 or gilteritinib in MOLM13 AML xenograft model.

Project description:Acquisition of an internal tandem duplication of the juxtamembrane region of FLT3 (FLT3-ITD) is a common event in Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and is associated with poor outcomes at high allelic frequency. Although targeted therapies against FLT3-ITD exist, narrow therapeutic index as monotherapies and failure to achieve complete remission limits their clinical application. Using a genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen, we identified cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK9), protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT5) and dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) as novel synthetic lethal partners with gilteritinib treatment. We demonstrated that genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of these targets in combination with gilteritinib synergistically kill AML cells. The presence of FLT3-ITD was shown to cause a significant increase in aerobic glycolysis, rending the leukemia cells highly sensitive to pharmacological inhibition of glycolytic activity. Supportive of this, our screen shows that sgRNAs targeting ~28 genes in the glycolysis pathway are enriched in cells treated with gilteritinib, suggesting that switching to oxidative phosphorylation from aerobic glycolysis may represent a metabolic adaption of the leukemic cells to resistance to FLT3-targeted therapy. Interestingly, the knockdown of CDK9, PRMT5 or DHODH in presence of gilteritinib cooperatively shuts down oxidative phosphorylation and associated purine biosynthesis and mevalonate pathway, implying inhibition of these genes along with proteins involved in the mitochondria respiratory chain complexes and energy metabolism may represent an attractive strategy to resensitize leukemic cells to gilteritinib treatment. Overall, these findings provide the basis for maximizing therapeutic impact of FLT3-ITD inhibitors and provide a rationale for a clinical trial of these novel combinatorial therapies.

Project description:FLT3 activating mutations cause myeloproliferative neoplasms by deregulating hematopoietic progenitor cell growth, and acute myeloid leukemia is on the rise. Investigational drugs targeting mutant FLT3, including Quizartinib and Crenolanib, develop inherent and acquired resistance to FLT3 targeted therapy. FLT3 inhibitor resistance in AML is dependent on co-occurring mutations, parallel survival pathways, and/or subsequent FLT3-ITD mutations. Despite the high prevalence of FLT3 mutations and their clinical significance in AML, there are few targeted therapeutic options. We identified two novel naphthyridine-based FLT3 inhibitors (HSN608 and HSN748) that specifically target FLT3-ITD at sub-nanomolar concentrations and are effective against drug-resistant secondary mutations. In the current study, we evaluated these compounds antileukemic activity against FLT3-ITD and gatekeeper mutations in drug-resistant AML, relapsed/refractory AMLs with FLT3 mutations, and in vivo mouse models with combinations of epigenetic mutations TET2 with FLT3-ITD, and AML patients PDX. In these model systems, we demonstrate that HSN748 outperforms the FDA-approved FLT3 inhibitor Gilteritinib in terms of inhibitory activity against FLT3-ITD.

Project description:Internal tandem duplications (ITD) in the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 occur in 25% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and lead to constitutive activation of FLT3, driving leukemia cell survival and proliferation. Quizartinib, crenolanib and gilteritinib are second-generation FLT3 inhibitors (FLT3i) in phase III trials or clinical use for the targeted treatment of FLT3-ITD+ AML. However, they demonstrated only limited benefit and were not curative. A full understanding of cellular resistance factors contributing to this poor response is lacking. Here, we examined cell-autonomous pathways modulated by FLT3i using global translatome and phosphoproteome proteomics to identify non-genetic resistance mechanisms.
