Project description:Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is a type of cancer that arises from preneoplastic precursors, which undergo genetic and epigenetic modifications. Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is a key OSCC promoter. LSD1 knockout or pharmacological inhibition in mouse OSCC reversed OSCC preneoplasia in our study. LSD1 inhibition attenuated the cell cycle, immunosuppression and promoted the infiltration of CD45+, TCRß+, CD4+, and CD8+ cells. Next, we tested the clinical candidate LSD1 inhibitor (Seclidemstat) in feline clinically spontaneous natural OSCC and found that it was safe and attenuated the STAT3 network. Mechanistic studies have shown that LSD1 reprograms preneoplasia to promote STAT3 signaling, cell cycle mediator CDK7, and immunosuppressive CTLA4 to OSCC progression. Interestingly, we found that the LSD1 inhibitor (SP2509) attenuated cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) phosphorylation at T170 and eukaryotic initiation factor 4 B (Eif4B) phosphorylation at S422. We identified a new mechanism in OSCC preneoplasia that LSD1 promotes STAT3 mediated by CDK7 phosphorylation, leading to overall changes in the tumor microenvironment, leading to immunosuppression and progression to OSCC, which could have applications for understanding the mechanism as well as design strategies to control the progression of preneoplasia to OSCC.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of primary Cdk7lox/lox MEFs comparing Adeno-Cre vs Adeno-GFP infected controls. Samples were obtained 7 days after the Adeno-Cre mediated elimination of Cdk7. Goal was to determine the effects of Cdk7 elimination on RNA polII-mediated transcription. Two-condition experiment, Adeno-Cre vs. Adeno-GFP infected Cdk7lox/lox MEFs. Biological replicates: 10 independent primary MEF preparations.

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) plays a critical role in the general regulation of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription. However, the absence of selective CDK7 inhibitors has hindered the ability to investigate the consequences of acute and prolonged inhibition of CDK7 under normal and pathological conditions. Here we present the discovery and characterization of the first covalent CDK7 inhibitor, CDK7-IN-1, that has the unprecedented ability to target a unique cysteine residue located outside of the canonical kinase domain, providing an unanticipated means of achieving selectivity for CDK7 amongst the 20 known CDKs. Cancer cell line profiling indicates that a subset of cancer cell lines, including T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), exhibit 100-fold greater sensitivity to CDK7-IN-1 over other tumor and normal cell lines. Genome-wide expression analysis in Jurkat T-ALL indicates that CDK7-IN-1 disproportionally affects RUNX1 as well as other components of the TAL1 transcriptional network and its targets, downregulating key regulators of transcription and apoptosis critical for the T-ALL state. These oncogenes are encoded by short-lived mRNA transcripts, are associated with super-enhancers, and exhibit a strong dependency on continuous transcription for sustained expression. Therefore, pharmacological modulation of CDK7 kinase activity may define a method for the identification and treatment of tumor types exhibiting extreme dependencies on transcription for maintenance of the oncogenic state. Jurkat, MM1S, Loucy, and HeLa (WT and Dox-inducible CDK7 mutant) cells were treated with various drugs including a covalent inhibitor of CDK7 (CDK7-IN-1), a reversible inhibitor of CDK7 (CDK7-IN-1), Flavopiridol, Actinomycin D, and DMSO controls. Replicates are annotated.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive form of breast cancer that exhibits extremely high levels of genetic complexity and yet a relatively uniform transcriptional program. We postulate that TNBC might be highly dependent on uninterrupted transcription of a key set of genes within this gene expression program and might therefore be exceptionally sensitive to inhibitors of transcription. Utilizing a novel kinase inhibitor and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing, we show here that triple-negative but not ER/PR+ breast cancer cells are exceptionally dependent on CDK7, a transcriptional cyclin-dependent kinase. TNBC cells are unique in their dependence on this transcriptional CDK and suffer apoptotic cell death upon CDK7 inhibition. An “Achilles cluster” of TNBC-specific genes are extremely sensitive to CDK7 inhibition and frequently associated with super-enhancers. We conclude that CDK7 mediates transcriptional addiction to a vital cluster of genes in TNBC and CDK7 inhibition may be useful therapy for this challenging cancer.

Project description:Basal-like breast cancer (BBC) is a highly aggressive form of breast cancer that exhibits extremely high levels of genetic complexity and yet a relatively uniform transcriptional program. We postulate that BBC might be highly dependent on uninterrupted transcription of a key set of genes within this gene expression program and might therefore be exceptionally sensitive to inhibitors of transcription. Utilizing a novel kinase inhibitor and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing, we show here that basal but not luminal breast cancer cells are exceptionally dependent on CDK7, a transcriptional cyclin-dependent kinase. BBC cells are unique in their dependence on this transcriptional CDK and suffer apoptotic cell death upon CDK7 inhibition. An “Achilles cluster” of BBC-specific genes are extremely sensitive to CDK7 inhibition and frequently associated with super-enhancers. We conclude that CDK7 mediates transcriptional addiction to a vital cluster of genes in BBC and CDK7 inhibition may be useful therapy for this challenging cancer.
