Project description:WD repeat domain 5 (WDR5), a chromatin regulator associated with MLL complex and MYC oncoproteins, was shown to be critical for oncogenesis in human cancers and represents an attractive drug target. Inhibitors for targeting protein-protein interaction interfaces (PPIs) within WDR5 were developed; however, they inhibited only a part of WDR5-mediated functional interactions, exerting rather limited antitumor effects. We report a cereblon (CRBN)-based proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) of WDR5, MS40, which is capable of selectively degrading cellular WDR5 and well-established imide:CRBN targets such as Ikaros (IKZF1). MS40-induced WDR5 degradation caused disassociation of MLL complex off chromatin, resulting in a decrease of global H3K4me2. Transcriptomic profiling also revealed targets of both WDR5 and imide:CRBN to be repressed by MS40. In MLL-rearranged acute leukemias, which exhibit high IKZF1 expression and IKZF1 dependency, co-suppression of WDR5 and IKZF1/3 by MS40 is superior at suppressing tumor growth not only to WDR5 PPI inhibitors but also to a VHL-based WDR5 PROTAC, MS169, which selectively targets WDR5 only. Furthermore, MS40 suppressed growth of primary leukemia patient cells in vitro and patient-derived xenografts (PDX) in vivo. Collectively, we report the discovery of a dual WDR5 and Ikaros degrader as anti-cancer therapeutic.

Transcriptomic profiling revealed that gene targets of WDR5 and IMiDs:CRBN were both repressed by MS40. In MLL-rearranged acute leukemias, which exhibit high IKZF1 expression and IKZF1 dependency, co-suppression of WDR5 and IKZF1/3 by MS40 is superior at suppressing tumor growth not only to WDR5 PPI inhibitors but also to a matched VHL-based WDR5 PROTAC, MS169, which selectively targets WDR5 only. Furthermore, MS40 suppressed growth of primary leukemia patient cells in vitro and patient-derived xenografts (PDX) in vivo. Collectively, we report the discovery of a dual WDR5 and Ikaros degrader as anti-cancer therapeutic.

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.

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.

Project description:P4-3 is a PROTAC designed to induce degradation of CD26, a transmembrane glycoprotein with dual oncogenic functions overexpressed in NSCLC. Here, we employed label-free quantitative proteomics to characterize its global proteomic impact on H460 cells. Bottom-up proteomics was performed on samples treated with DMSO or P4-3 (24 hours, 6 biological replicates per group) to assess proteome-wide alterations.
