Cyclin-dependent kinase-9 and oxidative phosphorylation inhibition overcome ibrutinib resistance in mantle cell lymphoma

ABSTRACT: Resistance to Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) is inevitable in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Cyclin-dependent kinase-9 (CDK9), a key regulator of oncogenic transcription, is a promising therapeutic target. Here we studied a selective CDK9 inhibitor, AZD4573, in MCL. AZD4573 suppressed growth of MCL cell lines and primary cells and reduced expression of key oncogenic programs including MYC and MCL1. However, CDK9 inhibition also induced metabolic adaptation, with increased oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos), ATP production, and reactive oxygen species in ibrutinib-resistant models. In an ibrutinib-resistant MCL PDX model, AZD4573 produced modest survival benefit and suppressed TNFα/NF-κB and mTORC1 signaling, but OxPhos remained elevated. To define treatment-associated transcriptional changes at cellular resolution, we analyzed PBMCs from patients receiving AZD4573 using single-cell RNA sequencing. In a responding MCL patient, malignant B cells showed sustained downregulation of MYC targets and OxPhos, whereas refractory patients showed the opposite pattern, with upregulation of MYC-associated and OxPhos programs. Consistent with these findings, the OxPhos inhibitor IACS-010759 synergized with AZD4573 in vitro. Together, these results support CDK9 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy in BTKi-resistant MCL and highlight single-cell transcriptomics as a powerful approach to reveal response-associated malignant cell states and rational combination vulnerabilities.

Targeting DNMT3A-mediated oxidative phosphorylation to overcome ibrutinib resistance in mantle cell lymphoma

Project description:The use of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors such as ibrutinib has achieved a remarkable clinical response in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Acquired drug resistance, however, is significant and impacts long-term survival of MCL patients. Here we demonstrate that DNMT3A is involved in ibrutinib resistance. We found that DNMT3A expression is upregulated upon ibrutinib treatment in ibrutinib-resistant MCL cells. Genetic and pharmacological analyses revealed that DNMT3A mediates ibrutinib resistance independent of its DNA-methylation function. Mechanistically, DNMT3A induces the expression of MYC target genes through interaction with the transcription factors MEF2B and MYC, thus mediating metabolic reprogramming to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Targeting DNMT3A by a low dose of decitabine inhibits the growth of ibrutinib-resistant lymphoma cells both in vitro and in a patient-derived xenograft mouse model. These findings suggest that targeting DNMT3A-medited metabolic reprogramming to OXPHOS with decitabine provides a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome ibrutinib resistance in relapsed/refractory MCL.

AZD4573 is a highly selective CDK9 inhibitor that suppresses Mcl-1 and induces apoptosis in hematological cancer cells

Project description:Phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II by cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) is crucial for transcriptional regulation, and acute inhibition of CDK9 results in the rapid downregulation of genes with short-lived transcripts and labile proteins. Multiple non-selective CDK9 inhibitors have progressed clinically but were limited by a narrow therapeutic window. This work describes a novel, potent, and highly selective CDK9 inhibitor, AZD4573. Using integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, loss-of-function pathway interrogation, and pharmacological comparisons, Mcl-1 depletion was identified as a major mechanism through which AZD4573 induces cell death in tumor cells. AZD4573 suppresses Mcl-1 in a dose- and time-dependent manner that causes caspase-3 cleavage in sensitive cancer cells, most notably in hematological malignancies. This pharmacodynamic response is observed in vivo as well, which leads to regressions in both subcutaneous tumor xenografts and disseminated models at tolerated doses as monotherapy or in combination with venetoclax. Fully understanding the mechanism, exposure, and anti-tumor activity of AZD4573 also informed the development of a robust PK/PD/efficacy model that helped select and predict the starting and efficacious dose range in man. Accordingly, AZD4573 is currently being evaluated in a phase I clinical trial for patients with hematological malignancies (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03263637).

Synergistic activity of BET protein antagonist-based combinations in Mantle Cell Lymphoma cells sensitive or resistant to ibrutinib

Project description:To determine the global transcriptome changes in mantle cell lymphoma cells following treatment with the BET bromodomain antagonist, JQ1 Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) cells exhibit increased B cell receptor and NFkB activities. The BET protein BRD4 is essential for the transcriptional activity of NFkB. Here, we demonstrate that treatment with the BET protein bromodomain antagonist (BA) JQ1 attenuates MYC and CDK4/6, inhibits the nuclear RelA levels and the expression of NFÎºB target genes including Brutonâs Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) in MCL cells. While lowering the levels of the anti-apoptotic BCL2 family proteins, BA treatment induces the pro-apoptotic protein BIM and exerts dose-dependent lethality against cultured and primary MCL cells. Co-treatment with BA and the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib synergistically induces apoptosis of MCL cells. Compared to each agent alone, co-treatment with BA and ibrutinib markedly improved the median survival of mice engrafted with the MCL cells. BA treatment also induced apoptosis of the in vitro isolated, ibrutinib-resistant MCL cells which overexpress CDK6, BCL2, Bcl-xL, XIAP and AKT, but lack ibrutinib resistance-conferring BTK mutation. Co-treatment with BA and panobinostat (pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor) or palbociclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor) or ABT-199 (BCL2 antagonist) synergistically induced apoptosis of the ibrutinib-resistant MCL cells. These findings highlight and support further in vivo evaluation of the efficacy of the BA-based combinations with these agents against MCL, including ibrutinib-resistant MCL. MO2058 cells treated with vehicle, 250 nM or 1000 nM JQ1 for 8 hours. Samples were acquired and analyzed in duplicate.

Activity of the novel BTK inhibitor TG-1701 is associated with the disruption of the Ikaros signaling pathway in responder B-NHL patients and with sensitization to anti-CD20 therapy in B-NHL xenografts

Project description:Covalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) have transformed the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), but their activity has been limited by off-target toxicity and acquired drug resistance. TG-1701 is a novel irreversible and highly specific BTKi being presently under study in a phase 1 clinical trial in patients with relapsed/refractory B-NHL alone and in combination with ublituximab, a CD20 antibody, and umbralisib, a dual PI3Kδ and CK1ε inhibitor. Here we show, for the first time that phosphoproteomic analysis of CLL patients receiving a BTKi (TG-1701) led to a non-supervised clustering that matched the clinical outcomes and separated a group of “responders” from a group of “non-responders”. This clustering was based on a selected list of 96 phosphosites, with Ikaros-Ser442/445 phosphorylation as a potential marker for TG-1701 efficacy. RNA-seq analysis followed by qPCR and western blot validation further revealed that TG-1701 treatment blunted the Ikaros gene signature only in responder patients, as well as in BTKi-sensitive, but not BTKi-insensitive, B-NHL cell lines and xenografts. Importantly, and in contrast with ibrutinib, TG-1701 did not impair FcγR-driven antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and phagocytosis (ADCP) triggered by the anti-CD20 antibodies rituximab and ublituximab in a multicellular MCL co-culture system. In addition, TG-1701 cooperated with ublituximab coupled to umbralisib (also referred as the U2 regimen) in reducing the tumor growth in both ibrutinib-sensitive and ibrutinib-insensitive mouse models of MCL. Altogether, these data validate phosphoproteomic as a broken thread to omics analysis in the clinic and support the use of TG-1701-U2 combination in R/R B-NHL patients, irrespective of prior response to ibrutinib.

Single-cell RNA-seq analysis reveals distinct tumor and immunosuppressive T-cell phenotypes in CLL patients treated with ibrutinib

Project description:The development of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) and their introduction into clinical practice represents a major advance in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, monotherapy with ibrutinib or other BTKis generally does not induce complete remissions or undetectable minimal residual disease (MRD) even with extended therapy. Therefore, there is a need to understand the differences between ibrutinib sensitive and resistant CLL cells along with the immune microenvironment to identify novel therapeutic approaches for controlling residual disease during BTKi treatment. Here, we investigated the cellular heterogeneity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with CLL treated with ibrutinib using single-cell RNA sequencing. We identified unique transcriptional heterogeneity within the B cell cluster in the ibrutinib-sensitive and resistant patients. Ibrutinib sensitive cells showed enrichment of B cell populations with upregulation of MHC I molecules and TNF family members. Additionally, we observed that inflammatory response and metabolism related pathways were decreased, whereas cellular response to stress and DNA repair programs were increased in the ibrutinib resistance samples. T cells in ibrutinib-resistant patients showed expansion of Tregs and an exhausted CD8 effector T cell compartment. Furthermore, CD14+ and CD16+ monocytes from ibrutinib resistant patients preferentially expressed a gene expression program of antiviral immunity. At the single-cell level, our findings demonstrate a picture of transcriptional heterogeneity in the tumor compartment and immune milieu. Overall, these findings suggest that T cell exhaustion and monocyte functional polarization may have a crucial role in BTKi resistance.

EGR1-mediated ibrutinib resistance

Project description:We established two representative ABC DLBCL cell lines (TMD8 and OCI-Ly10) with ibrutinib resistance by gradually increasing the concentration of ibrutinib during passage in culture. RNA-seq analysis demonstrated that the BCR pathway gene signature is enriched in resistant cell lines when compared to parental cells. The most upregulated gene is EGR1, a transcription factor that activates multiple oncogenic pathways including MYC and E2F. Elevated EGR1 expression is also observed in ibrutinib-resistant primary mantle cell lymphoma cells when treated with ibrutinib. Using multiple metabolic and genetic approaches, we discovered that overexpression of EGR1 causes metabolic reprogramming to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and ibrutinib resistance. Mechanistically, EGR1 mediates metabolic reprogramming through transcriptional activation of PDP1, a phosphatase that dephosphorylates and activates the E1 component of the large pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Therefore, EGR1-mediated PDP1 activation accelerates intracellular ATP production via the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, leading to sufficient energy to enhance the proliferation and survival of ibrutinib-resistant lymphoma cells. Finally, we demonstrate that targeting OXPHOS with IM156, a newly developed OXPHOS inhibitor, inhibits the growth of ibrutinib-resistant lymphoma cells both in vitro and in patient-derived xenograft mouse models.

CDK9 is a Dependency in GATA-3 driven and MCL-1 independent T-cell Lymphomas [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The transcription factor GATA-3 is a proto-oncogene in subsets of mature T cell lymphomas (TCL). CDK9 is a transcriptional regulator that, by phosphorylating paused RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), enables efficient transcriptional elongation. Therefore, we were motivated to examine the extent to which CDK9 is required for controlling transcription and expression of GATA-3 and its target genes. A pharmacologic strategy, using the selective CDK9 inhibitor AZD4573, was utilized to identify CDK9 dependent transcripts. Traveling ratios, defined as the ratio of RNAPII bound at promoter to RNAPII bound within the gene body, were determined by RNAPII ChIP-seq in cell treated with AZD4573 (or vehicle control). CDK9 dependent genes were defined as those with increased traveling ratio and decreased transcripts. MCL-1 dependency was determined in these cell lines by BH3 profiling. The extent to which CDK9 inhibition transcriptionally reprograms TCL was further examined in complementary ex vivo and in vivo studies using primary TCL specimens and GEM and PDX models
