E7386 enhances lenvatinib’s antitumor activity in preclinical models and human hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: To study the antitumor and antiangiogenic activity of combining E7386 (an oral protein-protein interaction inhibitor targeting CREB-binding protein (CBP)/β-catenin) with lenvatinib and explore a novel mechanism of action of E7386 that boosts antitumor response.

Project description:Cancer immunotherapy using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to immune checkpoint (e.g., PD-1) has revolutionized the cancer treatments with long-term clinical benefits and being applicable to a wide range of tumors. However, a significant fraction of cancer patients does not respond to PD-1 blockade-based monotherapy. Considering the potential of combinatorial therapies in overcoming existing limitations of cancer immunotherapy, there is an increasing need to identify small-molecule modulators of immune cells capable of augmenting the effect of PD-1 blockade, leading to better cancer treatment. Although epigenetic drugs have shown potential in combination therapy, the lack of sequence specificity is a major concern. Pyrrole–imidazole polyamide (PIP), a selective DNA-binding small molecule, can guide epigenetic modulators to enable targeted gene activation. Here, we prepared and screened a library of PIPs encompassing the distinct PIPs conjugated with P300/CBP-selective bromodomain inhibitor (BI), which acts as a P300/CBP recruiter, and identified a PIP called BI-PIP-R that can trigger the targeted induction of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1 alpha/beta (PGC-1a/b), a regulator of mitochondrial activation and biogenesis. We further improved the chemical architecture of BI-PIP-R using a tri-arginine vector for better nuclear accumulation. This designer dual-functional molecule termed EnPGC-1 that enhanced mitochondrial activation, energy metabolism, proliferation of CD8+ T cells in vitro, and, in particular, enhanced oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), a feature of long-lived memory T cells. Genome-wide gene analysis also suggested that EnPGC-1 and not the control compounds can regulate of T cell activation as a major biological process. EnPGC-1 also synergized with PD-1 blockade to enhance antitumor immunity and improved the survival. Together, this study represents the first example of a programmable DNA-based epigenetic drug with the potential to overcome the existing issues in cancer immunotherapy.
