CC-122, a pleiotropic pathway modifier, mimics an interferon response and has antitumor activity in DLBCL

ABSTRACT: Cereblon (CRBN), a substrate receptor of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex CRL4CRBN, is the target of the immunomodulatory drugs lenalidomide and pomalidomide. Recently, it was demonstrated that binding of these drugs to CRBN promotes the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of two common substrates, transcription factors Aiolos and Ikaros. Here we report that the pleiotropic pathway modifier CC-122, a new chemical entity termed pleiotropic pathway modifier binds CRBN and promotes degradation of Aiolos and Ikaros in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and T cells in vitro, in vivo and in patients, resulting in both cell autonomous as well as immunostimulatory effects. In DLBCL cell lines, CC-122-induced degradation or shRNA mediated knockdown of Aiolos and Ikaros correlates with increased transcription of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) independent of interferon α, β, γ production and/or secretion and results in apoptosis in both ABC and GCB-DLBCL cell lines. Our results provide mechanistic insight into the cell of origin independent anti-lymphoma activity of CC-122, in contrast to the ABC subtype selective activity of lenalidomide.

Interactome of Aiolos/Ikaros Reveals Combination Rationale of Cereblon Modulators with HDAC Inhibitors in DLBCL

Project description:Purpose: Cereblon (CRBN), a substrate receptor of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex CRL4CRBN, is the target of the small molecules lenalidomide (Len) and avadomide (Ava). Upon binding of the drugs, Aiolos and Ikaros are recruited to the E3 ligase, ubiquitylated and subsequently degraded. In DLBCL cells, Aiolos and Ikaros are direct transcriptional repressors of interferon stimulated genes (ISG) and degradation of these substrates results in increased ISG protein levels resulting in decreased proliferation and apoptosis. Herein, we aimed to uncover the mechanism(s) Aiolos and Ikaros use to repress ISG transcription and provide a mechanistic rationale for a combination strategy enhance cell autonomous activites of CELMoDs. Results: We describe that in DLBCL, the repression of ISG transcription is accomplished in part through recruitment of large transcriptional complexes such as the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) which modify the chromatin landscape of these promoters. A rational combination approach of Ava with a specific HDAC inhibitor leads to a significant increase in ISG transcription compared to either single agent, and synergistic antiproliferative activity in DLBCL cell lines. Conclusion: Our results provide a novel role for lineage factors Aiolos and Ikaros in DLBCL as well as further insight into the mechanism(s) of Aiolos and Ikaros mediated transcriptional repression and unique therapeutic combination strategies.

Deciphering the Mechanisms of CC-122 Resistance in DLBCL via a Genome-Wide Screen

Project description:CC-122 is a next-generation cereblon E3 ligase modulating agent that has demonstrated promising clinical efficacy in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) patients. Mechanistically, CC-122 induces the degradation of IKZF1/3, leading to T cell activation and robust cell-autonomous killing in DLBCL. Here, we report a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 positive selection screen for CC-122 in a DLBCL cell line SU-DHL-4 with follow-up mechanistic characterization in 6 DLBCL cell lines to identify genes regulating the response to CC-122. Top-ranked CC-122 resistance genes encode not only well-defined members or regulators of the CUL4-DDB1-RBX1-CRBN E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, but also key components of several signaling and transcriptional networks that have not previously been shown to modulate the response to other cereblon modulators. Ablation of CYLD, NFKBIA, TRAF2, or TRAF3 induces hyper-activation of the canonical and/or non-canonical NF-κB pathways and subsequently diminishes CC-122-induced apoptosis in 5 out of 6 DLBCL cell lines. Depletion of KCTD5, the substrate receptor of the CUL3-RBX1-KCTD5 ubiquitin ligase complex, promotes the stabilization of its cognate substrate, GNG5, resulting in CC-122 resistance in HT, SU-DHL-4, and WSU-DLCL2. Furthermore, knockout of AMBRA1 renders resistance to CC-122 in SU-DHL-4 and U-2932, whereas knockout of RFX7 leads to resistance specifically in SU-DHL-4. The ubiquitous and cell line-specific mechanisms of CC-122 resistance in DLBCL cell lines revealed in this work pinpoint genetic alternations that are potentially associated with clinical resistance in patients, and facilitate the development of biomarker strategies for patient stratification, which may improve clinical outcome of CC-122 for R/R DLBCL.

RUNX proteins desensitize multiple myeloma to lenalidomide via protecting IKZFs from degradation

Project description:Ikaros family zinc finger protein 1 and 3 (IKZF1 and IKZF3) are transcription factors that promote multiple myeloma (MM) proliferation. The immunomodulatory imide drug (IMiD) lenalidomide promotes myeloma cell death via Cereblon (CRBN)-dependent ubiquitylation and proteasome-dependent degradation of IKZF1 and IKZF3. Although IMiDs have been used as first-line drugs for MM, the overall survival of refractory MM patients remains poor and demands the identification of novel agents to potentiate the therapeutic effect of IMiDs. Using an unbiased screen based on mass spectrometry, we identified the Runt-related transcription factor 1 and 3 (RUNX1 and RUNX3) as interactors of IKZF1 and IKZF3. Interaction with RUNX1 and RUNX3 inhibits CRBN-dependent binding, ubiquitylation and degradation of IKZF1 and IKZF3 upon lenalidomide treatment. Inhibition of RUNXs, via genetic ablation or a small molecule (AI-10-104), results in sensitization of myeloma cell lines and primary tumors to lenalidomide. Thus, RUNX inhibition represents a valuable therapeutic opportunity to potentiate IMiDs therapy for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

The IMiDs, through loss of Ikaros and Aiolos, primes myeloma cells for daratumumab mediated killing by upregulation of CD38

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated that the immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) lead to the degradation of the transcription factors Ikaros and Aiolos. However, why their loss subsequently leads to multiple myeloma (MM) cell death remains unclear. Using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, we have deleted IKZF1 and IKZF3 in human MM cell lines to gain further insight into their downstream gene regulatory networks. Our findings strongly support the central role of Ikaros and Aiolos in the action of the IMiDs. Inactivation of either factor alone recapitulates the cell intrinsic action of the IMiDs, resulting in cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis. Furthermore, evaluation of the transcriptional changes resulting from their loss demonstrates striking overlap with lenalidomide treatment.

Exploiting Synthetic Lethality for the Therapy of ABC Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma

Project description:Knowledge of essential oncogenic mutations can inspire therapeutic strategies that are synthetically lethal, affecting cancer cells bearing an oncogenic mutation while sparing normal cells. Lenalidomide is emerging as an active agent in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), especially for the activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype, but the mechanism of its action is unknown. Here we show that lenalidomide kills ABC DLBCL cells by augmenting the production of interferon 3/4, which these cells are predisposed to produce by their oncogenic MYD88 mutations. Lenalidomide stimulates the type I interferon pathway by suppressing IRF4, a repressor of IRF7. IRF4 is required for ABC DLBCL viability and is both a target and an amplifier of NF-kB signaling in this lymphoma subtype. Blockade of B cell receptor (BCR) signaling synergized with lenalidomide to reduce IRF4 levels, increase interferon 3/4 secretion, decrease NF-kB, and kill ABC DLBCL cells, suggesting therapeutic combinations that exploit the oncogenic signaling pathways in this cancer.

Cereblon expression is required for the anti-myeloma activity of lenalidomide and pomalidomide [aCGH]

Project description:The precise molecular mechanism of action and targets through which thalidomide and related immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) exert their anti-tumor effects remains unclear. We investigated the role of cereblon (CRBN), a primary teratogenic target of thalidomide, in the anti-myeloma activity of IMiDs. CRBN depletion is initially cytotoxic to human myeloma cells but surviving cells with stable CRBN depletion become highly resistant to both lenalidomide and pomalidomide, but not to the unrelated drugs bortezomib, dexamethasone and melphalan. Acquired deletion of CRBN was found to be the primary genetic event differentiating isogenic MM1.S cell lines cultured to be sensitive or resistant to lenalidomide and pomalidomide. Gene expression changes induced by lenalidomide were dramatically suppressed in the presence of CRBN depletion further demonstrating that CRBN is required for lenalidomide activity. Downstream targets of CRBN include interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) previously reported to also be a target of lenalidomide. Patients exposed to and putatively resistant to lenalidomide had lower CRBN levels in paired samples before and after therapy. In summary, CRBN is an essential requirement for IMiD activity, and a possible biomarker for the clinical assessment of anti-myeloma efficacy. We included two isogenic MM1.S cell lines, which differ in the sensibiligy to lenalidomide. We included MM1.S and MM1.S res, which were sensitive and resistant to lenalidomide, respectively.
