Targeted Degradation of SETDB1 by an Aptamer-CRBNL PROTAC as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Breast Cancer

ABSTRACT: PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) represent a novel therapeutic strategy that leverages the ubiquitin-proteasome system for targeted protein degradation. Aptamers, with their high specificity and binding affinity, have recently been explored as alternative recognition elements in PROTAC design. Here, we developed an aptamer-based PROTAC targeting SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 1 (SETDB1), an epigenetic regulator implicated in breast cancer progression. The SETDB1-specific aptamer identified in our previous work was conjugated to a CRBN E3 ligase ligand via click chemistry, generating a serum-stable PROTAC, designated as P-SETDB1-4. P-SETDB1-4 effectively recruits CRBN to SETDB1, inducing proteasome-dependent degradation of SETDB1 in breast cancer cells. Consequently, P-SETDB1-4 significantly inhibits the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells. Moreover, P-SETDB1-4 enhances the CD8+ T cells cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells and suppresses tumor growth in vivo. RNA sequencing analysis elucidates the molecular mechanism underlying P-SETDB1-4-mediated tumor suppression and promotion of CD8+ T cell-mediated killing. This study provides a promising therapeutic strategy for breast cancer and highlights the potential of aptamer-CRBNL PROTACs for targeting other challenging oncogenic proteins.

Modeling CRL4A ligase complex to predict target protein ubiquitination induced by CRBN-recruiting PROTACs

Project description:PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are bifunctional small molecules that can simultaneously recruit target protein and E3 ligase to form a ternary complex (target protein / PROTAC / E3 ligase), leading to target protein ubiquitination and degradation via the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System (UPS). PROTACs have gained increasing attention in recent years due to certain advantages over traditional therapeutic modalities enabling targeting of previously "undruggable" proteins. To better understand the mechanism of PROTAC-induced Target Protein Degradation (TPD), several computational approaches have recently been developed to study and predict ternary complex formation. However, mounting evidence suggests that ubiquitination can also be a rate-limiting step in PROTAC induced TPD. Here, we propose a structure-based computational approach to predict target protein ubiquitination induced by CRBN-based PROTACs,

The efflux pump ABCC1/MRP1 constitutively restricts PROTAC sensitivity in cancer cells

Project description:Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are bifunctional molecules that induce selective protein degradation by linking an E3 ubiquitin ligase enzyme to a target protein. This approach allows scope for targeting “undruggable” proteins and several PROTACs have reached the stage of clinical candidates. However, the roles of cellular transmembrane transporters in PROTAC uptake and efflux remain underexplored. Here, we utilized transporter-focused genetic screens to identify the ATP binding cassette transporter ABCC1/MRP1 as a key PROTAC resistance factor. Unlike the previously identified inducible PROTAC exporter ABCB1/MDR1, ABCC1 is highly expressed among cancers of various origins and constitutively restricts PROTAC bioavailability. Moreover, in a genome-wide PROTAC resistance screen, we identified candidates involved in processes such as ubiquitination, mTOR signaling and apoptosis as genetic factors involved in PROTAC resistance. In summary, our findings reveal ABCC1 as a crucial constitutively active efflux pump limiting PROTAC efficacy in various cancer cells, offering insights for overcoming drug resistance.

A potent and selective small-molecule degrader of ENL suppresses leukemia progression in vivo (RNA-Seq)

Project description:ENL, a stoichiometric component of the Super Elongation Complex (SEC) as well as the histone H3K79 methyltransferase DOT1L complex, is involved in the regulation of transcription elongation. Loss-of-function studies of ENL highlighted an essential role for its chromatin reader YEATS domain in the progression of acute leukemia, suggesting ENL as an attractive therapeutic target for leukemia therapy. Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs), a class of new therapeutic modalities, have the potential to degrade target proteinsthrough the ubiquitin-proteasome system. PROTACs have the potential to deliver robust therapeutic effects at low doses and infrequent dosing regimens with less side-effects. Here, we designed and synthesized a serial of ENL PROTACs. Through screening by ENL degradation in human leukemia cells, we identified MS47 as a potent ENL PROTAC. MS47 efficiently and specifically degrades ENL in a concentration-dependent and time dependent manner. In line with the mechanism of action of PROTACs, proteasome inhibitors can block ENL degradation mediated by MS47. MS47 suppresses survival and growth of a panel of acute leukemia cells, and efficiently suppresses the expression of ENL target genes, including Hoxa9, Meis1, Myb and Myc. In disseminated xenograft model, MS47 significantly benefits mouse survival, inhibits leukemia cell growth in vivo. No obvious toxic effect shown in toxicity test in vivo. Modest changes occurred on normal hematopoiesis. Together, our study developed a potent ENL PROTAC for leukemia treatment.

b1-integrin binding and lysosome targeting aptamer homes to triple-negative breast cancer in mice

Project description:Targeted therapies for triple-negative breast cancer have increased the number of available treatment options for patients. However, an optimal treatment strategy is still an unmet medical need due to the lack of targetable biomarkers and tumour heterogeneity. Aptamers have high selectivity and specificity towards target proteins. Lower molecular weight, increased stability, less immunogenicity, and rapid tissue uptake make aptamers an attractive alternative to antibodies. Attempts to develop aptamer therapeutics have shown difficulties translating in vitro results to in vivo. Aptamer GreenB1 exhibits selectivity to triple-negative MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell line in vitro compared to estrogen, progesterone, and glucocorticoid receptor-expressing MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. The aptamer is rapidly internalised into cells and trafficked to lysosomes. Here, we identify 1-integrin as the target protein for GreenB1 using proximity labelling and mass spectrometry proteomics. GreenB1 homes preferentially to the tumour in the 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer mice model in vivo.

Development of MDM2-targeting PROTAC technology for advancing bone regeneration

Project description:MDM2 inhibitor remarkably induced biomineralization in hDPSCs but it remained the problem that p53 activation is insufficient due to MDM2-p53 autoregulatory feedback loop. To overcome the limitation of the MDM2 inhibitors, we applied proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC), a technology that degrades a protein of interest (POI) by intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system. Hence, we propose a strategy to induce hard tissue regeneration by MDM2-targeting PROTAC technology. We selected Nutlin-3 of POI ligand among various MDM2 inhibitors based on the screening process, and the selected CRBN of E3 ligase ligand. The MDM2-PROTAC synthesis platform was designed by each ligand combination. By performing the degradation test for selected compounds, we evaluated the characteristics of the developed MDM2 PROTAC such as the maximal degradation concentration (DCmax), the half of maximal degradation concentration (DC50), and half-lifetime. To investigate gene expression profiling of MDM2-targeting small molecules, we conducted RNA-sequencing under MDM2 PROTAC and Nutlin-3 (POI ligand) treated conditions. We not only confirmed a robust effect on biomineralization by MDM2-targeting small molecules but also demonstrated the potent osteogenic differentiation ability of MDM2 PROTAC when compared to an MDM2 inhibitor. MDM2-PROTAC significantly increased mRNA levels of osteogenic differentiation marker genes. Also, the significant bone generation effect of MDM2 PROTAC was validated in an ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis animal model. Through these results, it is expected that a new therapeutic modality for hard tissue regeneration will be possible, and the application range of the PROTAC system can be expanded.

Degradation of Janus kinases in CRLF2-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:We evaluated the efficacy of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) directed against Janus kinases. Solving the structure of FDA-approved type I JAK inhibitors ruxolitinib and baricitinib bound to the JAK2 JH1 tyrosine kinase domain enabled the rational design and optimization of Cereblon (CRBN)-directed JAK PROTACs utilizing multiple derivatives of JAK inhibitors, linkers and CRBN-specific molecular glues. The resulting JAK PROTACs were evaluated for target degradation by proteomic approaches, and activity tested in CRLF2-rearranged cell line and xenograft models of ALL.

Enhancement of ubiquitination-dependent mitophagy by unconventionally-acting PROTACs

Project description:Enhancing mitophagy, a naturally-occurring cellular process for elimination of damaged mitochondria, holds great promise for the intervention of many human diseases. Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are heterobifunctional molecules that induce ubiquitination and subsequent proteasome-mediated degradation of a target protein through simultaneously binding to the target protein and an E3 ubiquitin ligase. However, the narrow cavity of the proteasome prevents the degradation of mitochondria. Here we show that the E3 ubiquitin ligase MAP3K1, when recruited to the outer mitochondria membrane (OMM) protein TSPO by our PROTAC-designed molecules (termed “mitophagy-enhancing chimeras”, or MECs), induced extensive K63 ubiquitination of TSPO and other OMM proteins, reminiscent of the PINK1-activated Parkin, without triggering proteasome-mediated degradation of TSPO. Aided by NBR1 and Nur77, this increased K63 ubiquitination of OMM proteins triggered mitophagy exclusively for damaged mitochondria, leading to improved mitochondria function and diminished cellular ROS. With the capability to enhance mitophagy at low nanomolar concentrations, MECs effectively inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation, abrogated acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury and mitigated high-fat diet-induced obesity in mice. Our work provided a proof-of-concept for developing unconventionally-acting PROTACs to achieve degradation of damaged mitochondria and possibly other organelles.

PROTACs therapeutically target the polyglutamine androgen receptor inspinal and bulbar muscular atrophy models

Project description:Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a CAG/polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat expansion disorder in which the mutant androgen receptor (AR) protein triggers progressive degeneration of the neuromuscular system in men. As the misfolded polyQ AR is the proximal mediator of toxicity, therapeutic efforts have focused on targeting the mutant protein, but these prior efforts have met with limited success in SBMA patients. Here, we examine the efficacy of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs), small molecule AR degraders that rapidly and potently promote AR ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome. We identify ARD-1676 as a PROTAC that clears polyQ AR in an over-expression system, in patient iPSC-derived induced motor neurons and skeletal muscle cells, and in a gene targeted mouse model of disease. Furthermore, we demonstrate that 24-hour treatment with ARD-1676 rescues transcriptional dysregulation in SBMA induced skeletal muscle cells. These data provide evidence of therapeutic efficacy and in vivo target engagement, establishing PROTACs as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of SBMA.
