Project description:In skeletal muscle differentiation, muscle-specific genes are regulated by two groups of transcription factors, the MyoD and MEF2 families, which work together to drive the differentiation process. Here we show that ERK5 regulates muscle cell fusion through Klf transcription factors. The inhibition of ERK5 activity suppresses muscle cell fusion with minimal effects on the expression of MyoD, MEF2, and their target genes. Promoter analysis coupled to microarray assay reveals that Klf-binding motifs are highly enriched in the promoter regions of ERK5-dependent upregulated genes. Remarkably, Klf2 and Klf4 expression are also upregulated during differentiation in an ERK5-dependent manner, and knockdown of Klf2 or Klf4 specifically suppresses muscle cell fusion. Moreover, we show that the Sp1 transcription factor links ERK5 to Klf2/4, and that nephronectin, a Klf transcriptional target, is involved in muscle cell fusion. Therefore, an ERK5/Sp1/Klf module plays a key role in the fusion process during skeletal muscle differentiation.

Project description:Unlike other members of the MAPK family, ERK5 contains a large C-terminal domain with transcriptional activation capability in addition to an N-terminal canonical kinase domain. Genetic deletion of ERK5 is embryonic lethal and tissue-restricted deletions have profound effects on erythroid development, cardiac function and neurogenesis. In addition, depletion of ERK5 is anti-inflammatory and anti-tumorigenic. Small molecule inhibition of ERK5 has been shown to have promising activity in cell and animal models of inflammation and oncology. Here we report the synthesis and biological characterization of potent, selective ERK5 inhibitors. In contrast to both genetic depletion/deletion of ERK5 and inhibition with previously reported compounds, inhibition of the kinase with the most selective of the new inhibitors had no anti-inflammatory or anti-proliferative activity. The source of efficacy in previously reported ERK5 inhibitors is shown to be off-target activity on bromodomains (BRDs), conserved protein modules involved in recognition of acetyl-lysine residues during transcriptional processes. It is likely that phenotypes reported from genetic deletion or depletion of ERK5 arise from removal of a non-catalytic function of ERK5. The newly reported inhibitors should be useful in determining which of the many reported phenotypes are due to kinase activity, and delineate which can be pharmacologically targeted.

Therefore, an ERK5/Sp1/Klf module plays a key role in the fusion process during skeletal muscle differentiation. To identify those genes whose expression levels are regulated by the ERK5 pathway in differentiating C2C12 cells, we performed genome-wide analysis by using Affymetrix GeneChip oligonucleotide microarrays. We performed two independent experiments. For each experiment, we used five samples: cells in growth medium (0 day), lacZ-infected cells at two time points (2.5 days and 4.5 days of differentiation) and dnMEK5-infected cells at two time points (2.5 days and 4.5 days of differentiation). Each virus was infected at 1 day of differentiation. Total RNA was prepared using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The total RNA of each condition was obtained from two independent experiments. Synthesis of cDNA in vitro transcription and biotin labeling cRNA, and hybridization to the Mouse Genome 430 2.0 array (Affymetrix) were performed according to Affymetrix protocols. Hybridized arrays were scanned using an Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner. Scanned Chip images were analyzed with GeneChip operating Software v.1.4 (GCOS) and GeneSpring GX 11.0.2. (Agilent technologies).

Project description:ERK5 is a dual kinase-transcription factor, which contains an N-terminal kinase domain and transactivation domains in the C-terminal half. Many ERK5 kinase inhibitors have been developed and tested to treat cancer and inflammatory diseases. However, recent data have raised questions regarding the functional role of ERK5 kinase inhibitors. We aimed to investigate how ERK5 reprograms myeloid cells (MC) to the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), consequently leading to atherosclerosis. We showed that atherosclerosis was inhibited in ERK5 S496A (dephosphorylation mimic) knock-in (KI) mice. Furthermore, ERK5 S496 phosphorylation was required for not only SASP but also senescence-associated cell growth (SACG) observed in the plaque via upregulation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). We also discovered a key effect of ERK5 S496 phosphorylation on SUMOylation at a novel site of NRF2 (i.e., K518), which inhibited NRF2 transcriptional activity without affecting ERK5 kinase activity and antagonized oxidized LDL (oxLDL)-induced SASP. Specific ERK5 kinase inhibitors (AX15836 and XMD8-92) both inhibited oxLDL-induced ERK5 S496 phosphorylation, suggesting that ERK5 S496 phosphorylation was involved at least in part of the effects of these inhibitors. We have discovered a novel mechanism, in which ERK5 S496 phosphorylation directly inhibits NRF2 activity by upregulating NRF2 K518 SUMOylation, and induces SACG and atherosclerosis.

Project description:Over the past few decades, interest in the role that extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) plays in various diseases, particularly cancer and inflammation, has grown. Phenotypes observed from genetic knockdown or deletion of ERK5 suggested that targeting ERK5 could have therapeutic potential in various disease settings, motivating the development of potent and selective ATP-competitive ERK5 inhibitors. However, these inhibitors were unable to recapitulate the effects of genetic loss of ERK5, suggesting that ERK5 may have key kinase-independent roles. To investigate potential non-catalytic functions associated with ERK5, we report here the development of INY-06-061, a potent and selective heterobifunctional degrader of ERK5. In contrast to results reported through genetic knockdown of ERK5, INY-06-061-induced ERK5 degradation did not induce anti-proliferative effects in multiple cancer cell lines or suppress inflammatory responses in primary endothelial cells. Thus, we have developed and characterized a chemical tool useful for validating phenotypes reported to be associated with genetic ERK5 ablation and for guiding future ERK5-directed drug discovery efforts.
