Project description:In this study the investigators looked at adaptive reprogramming impact on the kinome when a MEK inhibitor called GSK1120212 (trametinib) was administered in a "window of opportunity" trial. GSK1120212 is not yet approved by the FDA for use in breast cancer patients. The investigators gave GSK1120212 for a short period of time (one week) to examine MEK and the other kinase expression in cancer cells both before and after the study drug is given. The investigators gave this drug for research purposes only. The length of time it was given is not intended to treat cancer. Recently researchers at UNC developed a process that can comprehensively profile the majority of the individual kinases in the kinome and examine the impact on kinase expression of kinase inhibitors (Duncan et al, Cell 2012, PMID: 22500798). This can tell us which kinases need to be concurrently blocked to augment responsiveness and prevent acquired resistance so that the investigators can design the best combinations of kinase blocking drugs for triple negative breast cancer. This is especially important for individuals with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) because there are no targeted drugs available that can block molecules that affect tumor growth. The investigators believe that kinase-blocking drugs have the potential to be a more effective treatment for people with TNBC. In this recently published study (Zawistowski et al, Cancer Discovery 2017, PMID: 28108460), TNBC patients treated with trametinib for 7 days resulted in a transcriptional response characterized by significant reprogramming of the tyrosine kinome, and this adaptive bypass response in human tumors was found to be similar to that seen in preclinical models including TNBC cell lines and mouse xenografts. In this study we also examined whether reprogramming differed between TNBC molecular subtypes, finding that basal-like and claudin-low human TNBC cells and mouse tumor subtypes had different adaptive transcriptional responses to MEK-ERK inhibition. Mechanistically we found that genome-wide enhancer remodeling drove the adaptive transcriptional response, suggesting that epigenetic approaches to reprogramming may be more durable than kinase inhibitor polypharmacology.

Project description:The inability of the adult human heart to regenerate lost or damaged myocardial tissue has created one of the most pressing public health dilemmas due to the devastating impact of heart failure. Our group and others have outlined several regulators of cardiomyocyte mitosis that may impact the regenerative capacity of the adult myocardium in mammals. Recently, we reported that the transcription factors Meis1 and Hoxb13 regulate postnatal cardiomyocyte cell cycle arrest, where concomitant deletion of both genes induced cardiomyocyte proliferation and myocardial regeneration following ischemic injury. These studies suggest that pharmacological targeting Meis1 and Hoxb13 transcriptional activity could be a viable path towards heart regeneration. Therefore, we performed an in-silico screen to identify FDA-approved drugs that can inhibit Meis1 and Hoxb13 transcriptional activity based on the published crystal structure of Meis1 and Hoxb13 bound to DNA. Our screen yielded several candidates based on binding profiles to either Meis1 DNA binding domain, Hoxb13 DNA binding domain, or the interface between Meis1 and Hoxb13, as well as safety and side effect profiles. Out of the shortlist of top hits, paromomycin and neomycin induced proliferation of neonatal rat ventricular myocytes in vitro and displayed dose-dependent inhibition of Meis1 and Hoxb13 transcriptional activity by luciferase assay, and disruption of DNA binding by EMSA. X-ray crystal structure revealed that both paromomycin and neomycin bind to Meis1 near the Hoxb13 interaction site where they interact with 3 out of the 5 Meis1 amino acids that participate in DNA-binding. The crystal structure also demonstrates that both drugs bind at the interface of Meis1 homodimer, therefore placing one of the Meis1 monomers in a position incompatible with DNA-binding. Importantly, administration of paromomycin-neomycin combination by intraperitoneal injection in mice induced cardiomyocyte proliferation, improved left ventricular (LV) systolic function and decreased scar formation in two models of ischemic reperfusion injury in mice. Finally, dual intravenous administration of the paromomycin-neomycin combination in Yorkshire pigs following cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury induced cardiomyocyte proliferation, improved LV systolic function, and decreased scar formation. Collectively, we identified paromomycin and neomycin as FDA-approved drugs with therapeutic potential for induction of heart regeneration in humans.
