Inhibition of BET protein BRD4 activity synergizes with cisplatin in ovarian cancer by targeting ALDH activity through an ALDH1A1 super-enhancer and the associated enhancer RNA

ABSTRACT: The emergence of tumor cells with certain stem-like characteristics such as high aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity contributes to chemotherapy resistance. Here we report that inhibition of the BET protein BRD4 potentiates the tumor suppressive effects of cisplatin by targeting ALDH activity. The clinically applicable small molecule BET inhibitor JQ1 synergized with cisplatin by suppressing the growth of epithelial ovarian cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. This correlated with the suppression of ALDH activity and ALDH1A1 gene expression. BRD4 regulates ALDH1A1 gene transcription through a super-enhancer and expression of its associated enhancer RNA. Thus, targeting the BET protein BRD4 using clinical applicable small molecule inhibitors such as JQ1 is a promising strategy to enhance cisplatin response.

Role of ALDH1A1 in PARPi resistance in ovarian cancer

Project description:Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) are approved to treat recurrent ovarian cancer with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, and as maintenance therapy for recurrent platinum sensitive ovarian cancer (BRCA wild-type or mutated) after treatment with platinum. However, the acquired resistance against PARPi remains a clinical hurdle. Our previous study has demonstrated that PARPi can enhance the Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity in ovarian cancer cells, mainly through inducing expression of ALDH1A1, an isoform of the ALDH family. In addition, an ALDH1A1 selective inhibitor can synergize with olaparib in killing EOC cells carrying BRCA2 mutation in both in vitro cell culture and the in vivo xenograft animal model. In order to elucidating the mechanism by which ALDH1A1 renders PARPi resistance to ovarian cancer, we performed RNA-seq analysis to identify genes whose expression can be regulated by ALDH1A1.

Blockade of oncogenic IkappaB kinase activity in ABC DLBCL by small molecule BET protein inhibitors

Project description:In the activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), NF-kappaB activity is essential for viability of the malignant cells and is sustained by constitutive activity of IkappaB kinase (IKK) in the cytoplasm. Here, we report an unexpected role for the bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins BRD2 and BRD4 in maintaining oncogenic IKK activity in ABC DLBCL. IKK activity was reduced by small molecules targeting BET proteins as well as by genetic knockdown of BRD2 and BRD4 expression, thereby inhibiting downstream NF-kappaB-driven transcriptional programs and killing ABC DLBCL cells. Using a high-throughput platform to screen for drug-drug synergy, we observed that the BET inhibitor JQ1 combined favorably with multiple drugs targeting B cell receptor signaling, one pathway that activates IKK in ABC DLBCL. The BTK kinase inhibitor ibrutinib, which is in clinical development for the treatment of ABC DLBCL, synergized strongly with BET inhibitors in killing ABC DLBCL cells in vitro and in a xenograft mouse model. These findings provide a mechanistic basis for the clinical development of BET protein inhibitors in ABC DLBCL, particularly in combination with other modulators of oncogenic IKK signaling. For JQ1 time course gene expression profiling, HBL1 and LP1 cells were treated with either DMSO or 100nM JQ1 for 1h, 3h, 8h, and 24h. For shRNA gene expression profiling, HBL1 cells were infected with either a Ctrl shRNA or with shRNA targeting BRD2 or BRD4. Following puromycin selection, shRNA expression was induced for 1 day and 2 days.

siRNA profiling of human A549 lung cancer cell line following siRNA mediated knock-down of ALDH1A1 and ALDH3A1

Project description:Aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes ALDH1A1 and ALDH3A1 are highly expressed in non small cell cell lung cancer. Neither the mechanism nor the biological significance for such over expression have been studied. We used microarrays to analyze changes in A549 lung cancer cell line in which ALDH activity was reduced using lentiviral mediated expression of siRNA against both isozymes (Lenti 1+3) Experiment Overall Design: A549 lung cancer cell lines were transduced with lentiviral vectors containing specific siRNA sequences against ALDH1A1, ALDH3A1, both vectors (Lenti 1+3 cells), and against the green flourescent protein (GFP) gene (GFP cells, used as control).

Response and resistance to BET bromodomain inhibitors in triple negative breast cancer [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous and clinically aggressive disease for which there is no targeted therapy. Here we report the preferential and high sensitivity of TNBCs to BET bromodomain inhibitors such as JQ1 manifested by cell cycle arrest in early G1, apoptosis, and induction of markers of luminal epithelial differentiation in vitro and in vivo. The sensitivity of TNBC and other tumor types to BET inhibition establishes a rationale for clinical investigation, and a motivation to understand mechanisms of resistance. After engendering acquired resistance to BET inhibition in previously sensitive TNBCs, we utilized integrative approaches to identify a unique mechanism of epigenomic resistance to this epigenetic therapy. Resistant cells remain dependent on BRD4, confirmed by RNA interference. However, TNBC cells adapt to BET bromodomain inhibition by re-recruitment of unmutated BRD4 to super-enhancers, now in a bromodomain-independent manner. Proteomic studies of resistant TNBC identify hyper-phosphorylation of BRD4 and strong association with MED1. Together, these studies provide a rationale for BET inhibition in TNBC and argue for combination strategies to anticipate clinical drug resistance.

Chip of BRD4 in Neurofibromatosis type 2

Project description:Background: Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by the development of multiple Schwannomas, usually occurring on both VIIIth (vestibular) cranial nerves. Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins regulate gene transcription and their activity is required in a variety of cancers including malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST). The use of BET inhibitors as a therapeutic option to treat NF2 schwannomas has not been explored and is the focus of this study. Methods: A panel of normal and NF2-null Schwann cell and schwannoma cell lines were used to characterize the impact of the BET inhibitor JQ1 in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism of action was explored by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of the BET BRD4, phospho-kinase arrays and immunohistochemistry of BRD4 in human vestibular schwannomas. Results: JQ1 inhibited the proliferation of NF2-null schwannoma and Schwann cell lines in vitro and in vivo. Further, loss of NF2 by CRISPR deletion or siRNA knockdown increased the sensitivity of cells to JQ1. Knock-down experiments identified BRD4 as the BET family member mediating the majority of JQ1 effects on cell proliferation. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated elevated levels of BRD4 protein in human vestibular schwannomas. BRD4 ChIP experiments identified the small G-protein Rac1 and PI3K signaling pathways as sensitive to JQ1. Conclusions: NF2 deficient Schwann cell and schwannoma cells are sensitive to BET inhibition, primarily mediated by BRD4, which is overexpressed in human vestibular schwannomas. BRD4 regulates Rac/Ras and PI3K signaling pathways and inhibition of these pathways by JQ1 impedes NF2 Schwannoma growth. These findings implicate BET inhibition as a therapeutic option for NF2-deficient schwannomas.

Therapeutic Targeting of BET Bromodomain Proteins in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Men who develop metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) invariably succumb to the disease. The development and progression to CRPC following androgen ablation therapy is predominantly driven by unregulated androgen receptor (AR) signaling1-3. Despite the success of recently approved therapies targeting AR signaling such as abiraterone4-6 and second generation anti-androgens MDV3100 (enzalutamide)7,8, durable responses are limited, presumably due to acquired resistance. Recently JQ1 and I-BET, two selective small molecule inhibitors that target the amino-terminal bromodomains of BRD4, have been shown to exhibit antiproliferative effects in a range of malignancies9-12. Here we show that AR signaling-competent CRPC cell lines are preferentially sensitive to BET bromodomain inhibition. BRD4 physically interacts with the N-terminal domain of AR and can be disrupted by JQ111,13. Like the direct AR antagonist, MDV3100, JQ1 disrupted AR recruitment to target gene loci. In contrast to MDV3100, JQ1 functions downstream of AR, and more potently abrogated BRD4 localization to AR target loci and AR mediated gene transcription including induction of TMPRSS2-ERG and its oncogenic activity. In vivo, BET bromodomain inhibition was more efficacious than direct AR antagonism in CRPC xenograft models. Taken together, these studies provide a novel epigenetic approach for the concerted blockade of oncogenic drivers in advanced prostate cancer.
