Project description:Previously, we showed cancer cells rely on the MTH1 protein to prevent incorporation of otherwise deadly oxidative nucleotides into DNA and we developed MTH1 inhibitors which selectively kill cancer cells. Recently, several new and potent inhibitors of MTH1 were demonstrated to be non-toxic to cancer cells, challenging the utility of MTH1 inhibition as a target for cancer treatment. Here, we demonstrate that these recently described MTH1 inhibitors, which fail to kill cancer cells, also fail to introduce the toxic oxidized nucleotides into DNA. We further describe a new MTH1 inhibitor TH1579, an analogue of TH588, which is a potent, selective MTH1 inhibitor with good oral availability and demonstrates excellent pharmacokinetic and anti-cancer properties in vivo. Furthermore, we describe TH1579 as a best-in-class MTH1 inhibitor, which we expect to be useful in order to test the MTH1 inhibitor concept. Cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) combined with basic reversed phase (bRP) separation and LC-MS was used to study drug binding in BJ Ras Sv40 cells treated with the MTH1 inhibitor TH1579.

Project description:BCR-Abl is a driver oncogene that causes chronic myeloid leukemia and a subset of acute lymphoid leukemias. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors provide an effective treatment for these diseases, they generally do not kill leukemic stem cells. Leukemic stem cells are cancer-initiating cells that compete with normal hematopoietic stem cells for the bone marrow niche. Using BCR-Abl as a model oncogene, we performed a drug screen based on competition between isogenic untransformed cells and BCR-Abl-transformed cells, and identified several compounds that selectively target BCR-Abl-transformed cells. Systems-level analysis of one of these novel compounds, DJ34, revealed that it induced depletion of c-Myc and activation of p53. c-Myc depletion occurred in a wide range of tumor types, including leukemia, lymphoma, lung, glioblastoma and breast cancer. Further analyses revealed that DJ34 interferes with c-Myc synthesis at the level of transcription, and we provide data showing that DJ34 is a DNA intercalator and topoisomerase II inhibitor. Physiologically, DJ34 induced apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and cell differentiation, and primary leukemic stem cells were particularly sensitive to DJ34. Taken together, we have identified a novel compound that dually targets c-Myc and p53 in a wide variety of cancers, and with particularly strong activity against leukemic stem cells.

Project description:The drug efflux pump ABCB1 is a key driver of chemoresistance, and high expression predicts for treatment failure in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We show that both acute and chronic exposure of leukemia cells to daunorubicin activates an integrated stress response-like transcriptional program to induce ABCB1 through remodeling and dynamic activation of an ATF4-bound, stress-responsive enhancer. In primary human AML, stress-responsive ABCB1 enhancers are accessible and acetylated, and exposure of fresh blast cells to daunorubicin induces ABCB1 in a dose-dependent manner. Dynamic induction of ABCB1 by diverse stressors, including chemotherapy, facilitates escape of leukemia cells from targeted third-generation ABCB1 inhibition. Stress-induced up regulation of ABCB1 is mitigated by combined use of pharmacologic inhibitors U0126 and ISRIB, which inhibit stress signaling.

Project description:Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors are commonly used to treat non-small cell lung cancers with EGFR mutations, but drug resistance often emerges. Intratumor heterogeneity is a known cause of targeted therapy resistance and is considered a major factor in treatment failure. This study identified clones of EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung tumors expressing low levels of both wild-type and mutant EGFR protein. These EGFR-low cells were found to be intrinsically more tolerant to EGFR inhibitors, more invasive, and exhibited an epithelial-to-mesenchymal-like phenotype compared to their EGFR-high counterparts. The EGFR-low cells secrete TGFβ-family cytokines, leading to increased recruitment of cancer-associated fibroblasts and immune suppression, thus contributing to the drug-tolerant tumor microenvironment. Notably, pharmacological induction of EGFR using epigenetic inhibitors sensitized the resistant cells to EGFR inhibition. These findings suggest that intrinsic drug resistance could be prevented or reversed using combination therapies.

Project description:Unlike genomic alterations, gene expression profiles have not been widely used to refine cancer therapies. We analyzed transcriptional changes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines in response to standard first-line AML drugs cytarabine and daunorubicin by means of RNA sequencing. Those changes were highly cell- and treatment-specific. By comparing the changes unique to treatment-sensitive and treatment-resistant AML cells, we enriched for treatment-relevant genes. Those genes were associated with drug response-specific pathways, including calcium ion-dependent exocytosis and chromatin remodeling. Pharmacological mimicking of those changes using EGFR and MEK inhibitors enhanced the response to daunorubicin with minimum standalone cytotoxicity. The synergistic response was observed even in the cell lines beyond those used for the discovery, including a primary AML sample. Additionally, publicly available cytotoxicity data confirmed the synergistic effect of EGFR inhibitors in combination with daunorubicin in all 60 investigated cancer cell lines. In conclusion, we demonstrate the utility of treatment-evoked gene expression changes to formulate rational drug combinations. This approach could improve the standard AML therapy, especially in older patients.

Project description:There is an unmet need for effective targeted therapies for patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We correlated gene expression, gene copy numbers, and point mutations in 45 human papillomavirus-negative HNSCC cell lines with the sensitivity to 220 anticancer drugs to discover predictive associations to genetic alterations. The drug response profiles revealed diverse efficacy of the tested drugs across the cell lines. Several genomic abnormalities and gene expression differences were associated with response to mTOR, MEK, and EGFR inhibitors. NOTCH1 and FAT1 were the most commonly mutated genes after TP53 and also showed some association with response to MEK and/or EGFR inhibitors. MYC amplification and FAM83H overexpression associated with sensitivity to EGFR inhibitors, and PTPRD deletion with poor sensitivity to MEK inhibitors. The connection between high FAM83H expression and responsiveness to the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib was validated by gene silencing and from the data set at the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia. The data provide several novel genomic alterations that associated to the efficacy of targeted drugs in HNSCC. These findings require further validation in experimental models and clinical series.

Project description:Although the development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including BCR-ABL1 targeted therapies, rendered chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) a manageable condition, acquisition of drug resistance during blast crisis (BC) progression remains a critical challenge. Here, we elucidate the significance of FLT3 signaling in the acquisition of drug resistance in BC-CML. Mechanistically, FLT3 expression in CML cells activated FLT3-JAK-STAT3-TAZ-TEAD-CD36 pathway, which conferred resistance to wide range of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Remarkably, a subgroup of BC-CML patients who expressed FLT3 showed strong correlation with the prognostic factors of CML independent of recurrent BCR-ABL1 mutations. We demonstrate that combining FLT3 inhibitors with BCR-ABL1 targeted therapies or single treatment with ponatinib can overcome drug resistance and promote cell death in patient-derived FLT3+ BC-CML cells and mouse xenograft models. Our findings reveal the mechanism of FLT3-mediated drug resistance in BC progression and suggest the inclusion of FLT3 as a therapeutic target for this defined group of patients.

Project description:Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an emerging therapeutic target in cancer. We report that Hsp90 inhibitors selectively kill DLBCLs that are biologically dependent on the BCL6 transcriptional repressor. We examined the pharmacokinetics, toxicity and efficacy of PUH71, a recently developed purine scaffold Hsp90 inhibitor. PUH71 preferentially accumulated in tumors vs. normal tissues, and unlike the widely used benzoquinone Hsp90 inhibitors, displayed no signs of organ toxicity. PUH71 selectively and potently induced the regression of BCL6-dependent DLBCLs in vivo, through reactivation of key BCL6 target genes and apoptosis.
