Targeting HASPIN kinase disrupts SR protein-mediated RNA splicing and synergizes with BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax in AML

ABSTRACT: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a blood cancer complicated by acquired drug resistance, disease relapse, and low overall survival rates. Combination therapies using multiple targeted inhibitors can effectively treat AML patients. However, combination treatments are limited by the number of useable targets and our ability to create rational pairings using complimentary molecular mechanisms. Here, we used a human kinase domain-targeted CRISPR screen to identify histone H3 associated protein kinase (HASPIN) as a significant, understudied dependency in AML. HASPIN depletion significantly reduced growth rate, induced a cell cycle arrest, and dysregulated transcription in AML. A proteomics datamining study characterized splicing factors as major HASPIN kinase substrates and highlighted HASPIN’s role as a splicing regulatory kinase. Accordingly, HASPIN depletion strongly dysregulated splicing and inversed aberrant, pro-leukemic splicing programs in AML patients. HASPIN inhibitor CHR-6494 effectively reduced cell viability across AML subtypes while sparing healthy cells. Furthermore, a novel combination therapy consisting of CHR-6494 and BCL-2 inhibitor Venetoclax synergistically reduced AML cell viability and resensitized Venetoclax-resistant AMLs to treatment. Our study presents HASPIN kinase as a novel, therapeutic target for AML, underscores an underappreciated role in splicing regulation, and proposes a viable combination treatment for clinical use.

Cyclosporine A Enhances the Efficacy of Venetoclax Against FLT3-ITD AML via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with the Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutation accounts for approximately 25-30% of cases and is associated with a poor prognosis, characterized by high relapse rates and significantly reduced overall survival. The use of single-agent venetoclax in FLT3-ITD AML has shown limited efficacy, with drug resistance frequently emerging. In this study, we demonstrate that cyclosporine A (CsA) sensitizes FLT3-ITD AML cells to venetoclax by inhibiting cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, and disrupting mitochondrial function. Mechanistically, CsA enhances the anti-AML effects of venetoclax by inhibiting NFATC1 through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. These findings offer promising new therapeutic strategies for managing refractory and relapsed AML, providing a basis for future combination therapies targeting FLT3-ITD mutations.

Modulation of RNA splicing enhances response to BCL2 inhibition in leukemia [eCLIP]

Project description:Therapy resistance is a major challenge in the treatment of cancer. Here, we performed CRISPR/Cas9 screens across a broad range of therapies used in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to identify genomic determinants of drug response. Our screens uncovered a selective dependency on RNA splicing factors whose loss preferentially synergized with the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax. Loss of the splicing factor RBM10 augmented response to venetoclax in leukemia yet was completely dispensable for normal hematopoiesis. Combined RBM10 and BCL2 inhibition led to mis-splicing and inactivation of the inhibitor of apoptosis XIAP and downregulation of BCL2A1, an anti-apoptotic protein implicated in venetoclax resistance. A novel inhibitor of splicing kinase families CLKs and DYRKs led to intron retention of key splicing factors identified from our screens, synergized with venetoclax, and overcame resistance to BCL2 inhibition. Our findings underscore the central importance of splicing in modulating apoptosis and provide a strategy to improve venetoclax-based treatments.

The BCL-2 Inhibitor Venetoclax in Combination with Azacitidine Disrupts Energy Metabolism and Targets Leukemia Stem Cells in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients

Project description:The manuscript summarizes clinical and laboratory-based evaluation of 33 AML patients treated with a novel drug combination, venetoclax and azacytidine. Our findings indicate that this regimen is exceptionally promising for the treatment of de novo AML patients. The improvement in outcomes in comparison to conventional therapy is quite remarkable. The manuscript explores the mechanistic basis for the clinical outcomes, testing the hypothesis that venetoclax and azacytidine effectively target leukemia stem cells (LSCs) in vivo. Our findings indicate the regimen is highly active towards the LSC population. Specifically, we describe a mechanism that suppresses the activity of electron transport complex II, resulting in inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation.

Hexamethylene Amiloride synergizes with Venetoclax to induce lysosome-dependent cell death in acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Tumors maintain an alkaline intracellular environment to enable rapid growth. The proton exporter NHE1 participates in maintenance of this pH gradient. However, whether targeting NHE1 could inhibit the growth of tumor cells remains unknown. Here, we report that the NHE1 inhibitor Hexamethylene amiloride (HA) efficiently suppresses the growth of AML cell lines. Moreover, HA combined with venetoclax synergized to efficiently inhibit the growth of AML cells. Interestingly, lysosomes are the main contributors to the synergism of HA and venetoclax in inhibiting AML cells. Most importantly, the combination of HA and venetoclax also had prominent anti-leukemia effects in both xenograft models and bone marrow samples from AML patients. In summary, our results provide evidence that the NHE1 inhibitor HA or its combination with venetoclax efficiently inhibits the growth of AML in vitro and in vivo.

Effective therapy of AML with RUNX1 mutation by co-treatment with inhibitors of protein translation and BCL2 [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Majority of RUNX1 mutations in AML are missense or deletion-truncation and behave as loss-of-function mutations. Following standard therapy, AML patients expressing mtRUNX1 exhibit inferior clinical outcome than those without mutant RUNX1. Studies presented here demonstrate that as compared to AML cells lacking mtRUNX1, their isogenic counterparts harboring mtRUNX1 display impaired ribosomal biogenesis and differentiation, as well as exhibit reduced levels of wild-type RUNX1, PU.1 and c-Myc. Compared to AML cells with only wild-type RUNX1, AML cells expressing mtRUNX1 were also more sensitive to the protein translation inhibitor homoharringtonine (omacetaxine) and BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax. HHT treatment repressed enhancers and their BRD4 occupancy, as well as reduced levels of c-Myc, c-Myb, MCL1 and Bcl-xL. Consistent with this, co-treatment with omacetaxine and venetoclax or BET inhibitor induced synergistic in vitro lethality in AML expressing mtRUNX1. Compared to each agent alone, co-treatment with omacetaxine and venetoclax or BET inhibitor also displayed improved in vivo anti-AML efficacy, associated with improved survival of immune depleted mice engrafted with AML cells harboring mtRUNX1. These findings highlight superior efficacy of omacetaxine-based combination therapies for AML harboring mtRUNX1.
