Homology modeling of DFG-in FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) and structure-based virtual screening for inhibitor identification.

ABSTRACT: The inhibition of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) activity using small-molecule inhibitors has emerged as a target-based alternative to traditional chemotherapy for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this study, we report the use of structure-based virtual screening (SBVS), a computer-aided drug design technique for the identification of new chemotypes for FLT3 inhibition. For this purpose, homology modeling (HM) of the DFG-in FLT3 structure was carried using two template structures, including PDB ID: 1RJB (DFG-out FLT3 kinase domain) and PDB ID: 3LCD (DFG-in CSF-1 kinase domain). The modeled structure was able to correctly identify known DFG-in (SU11248, CEP-701, and PKC-412) and DFG-out (sorafenib, ABT-869 and AC220) FLT3 inhibitors, in docking studies. The modeled structure was then used to carry out SBVS of an HTS library of 125,000 compounds. The top scoring 97 compounds were tested for FLT3 kinase inhibition, and two hits (BPR056, IC50 = 2.3 and BPR080, IC50 = 10.7 ?M) were identified. Molecular dynamics simulation and density functional theory calculation suggest that BPR056 (MW: 325.32; cLogP: 2.48) interacted with FLT3 in a stable manner and could be chemically optimized to realize a drug-like lead in the future.

Clonal evolution of AML on novel FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) inhibitor therapy with evolving actionable targets.

Project description:UNLABELLED:For acute myeloid leukemia (AML), identification of activating mutations in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) has led to the development of several FLT3-inhibitors. Here we present clinical and next generation sequencing data at the time of progression of a patient on a novel FLT3-inhibitor clinical trial (ASP2215) to show that employing therapeutic interventions with these novel targeted therapies can lead to consequences secondary to selective pressure and clonal evolution of cancer. We describe novel findings alongside data on treatment directed towards actionable aberrations acquired during the process.

Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3) contributes to a receptor tyrosine kinase signature regulating the cardiac side population

Project description:Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3) is a regulator of hematopoietic progenitor cells. It is a target of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used for acute myeloid leukemia treatment. Flt3 and its ligand (Flt3L) are expressed in the heart and cardiac side effects occur under Flt3-targeting TKIs. Whether Flt3/Flt3L also regulate cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs), however, is not known. The cardiac side population (SP) is a pool of heterogenous CPCs that can give rise to all cardiac lineages, hence contributing to cardiovascular homeostasis. Here we show that SP-CPCs produce and are responsive to Flt3L. Compared to wild-type, SP-CPCs from flt3L-/- mice are less abundant, with less contribution of CD45-CD34+ cells, and lower expression of gene sets related to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, cardiovascular development and stem cell differentiation. Upon culturing and compared to wild-type, flt3L-/- Sca1+CD31- SP-CPCs show increased proliferation and less vasculogenic commitment, but differentiation can be induced in the presence of receptor tyrosine kinase-activating growth factors. The observed differences are associated with decreased microvascularisation and global systolic function of flt3L-/- hearts. Thus, Flt3 contributes to a receptor tyrosine kinase signature necessary for the maintenance and functionality of SP-CPCs. These findings have potential implications regarding cardiovascular side effects observed under TKI therapy.

Inhibitor Discovery for the Human GLUT1 from Homology Modeling and Virtual Screening.

Project description:The human Glucose Transporter 1 (hGLUT1 or SLC2A1) is a facilitative membrane transporter found in the liver, intestines, kidney, and brain, where it transports sugars such as d-glucose and d-galactose. Genetic variations in hGLUT1 are associated with a broad range of diseases and metabolic disorders. For example, hGLUT1 is upregulated in various cancer types (e.g., breast carcinoma) to support the increased anaerobic glycolysis and the Warburg effect. Thus, hGLUT1 is an emerging therapeutic target, which also transports commonly used cancer biomarkers (e.g., (18)F-DG). In this study, we use computational prediction followed by experimental testing, to characterize hGLUT1. We construct homology models of hGLUT1 in a partially occluded outward open ("occluded") conformation based on the X-ray structure of the E. coli xylose transporter, XylE. Comparison of the binding site of the occluded models to experimentally determined hGLUT structures revealed a hydrophobic pocket adjacent to the sugar-binding site, which was tested experimentally via site-directed mutagenesis. Virtual screening of various libraries of purchasable compounds against the occluded models, followed by experimental testing with cellular assays revealed seven previously unknown hGLUT1 ligands with IC50 values ranging from 0.45 μM to 59 μM. These ligands represent three unique chemotypes that are chemically different from any other known hGLUT1 ligands. The newly characterized hydrophobic pocket can potentially be utilized by the new ligands for increased affinity. Furthermore, the previously unknown hGLUT1 ligands can serve as chemical tools to further characterize hGLUT1 function or lead molecules for future drug development.

FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) amplification in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Project description:FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) plays a key role in hematopoiesis. However, the oncogenic role of FLT3 amplification in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains unclear. Here, we aimed to evaluate the characteristics, prognosis, and treatment efficacy of an FLT3 inhibitor (regorafenib) in patients with mCRC with FLT3 amplifications. Tumor tissue samples from 2329 patients were sequenced using NGS in the Nationwide Cancer Genome Screening Project in Japan. The effects of clinicopathological features, co-altered genes, prognosis, and efficacy of regorafenib were investigated. Between April 2015 and June 2018, 85 patients with mCRC with FLT3 amplification were observed. There were no differences in baseline characteristics between patients with or without FLT3 amplification. The frequency of RAS or other gene co-alterations was inversely correlated with the copy number status. Median survival time in patients with FLT3 amplification was significantly shorter compared with those with non-FLT3 amplification. Further investigations of FLT3 amplification as a potential treatment target in mCRC are warranted.

Effect of Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) ligand (FL) on antitumor activity of gilteritinib, a FLT3 inhibitor, in mice xenografted with FL-overexpressing cells.

Project description:Therapeutic effects of FLT3 inhibitors have been reported in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with constitutively activating FLT3 mutations, including internal tandem duplication (ITD) and point mutation, which are found in approximately one-third of AML patients. One of the critical issues of treatment with FLT3 inhibitors in FLT3-mutated AML is drug resistance. FLT3 ligand (FL) represents a mechanism of resistance to FLT3 inhibitors, including quizartinib, midostaurin, and sorafenib, in AML cells harboring both wild-type and mutant FLT3 (FLT3 wt/FLT3 mut). Here, we investigated the effect of FL on the efficacy of gilteritinib, a FLT3 inhibitor, in AML-derived cells in vitro and in mice. In contrast to other FLT3 inhibitors, FL stimulation had little effect on growth inhibition or apoptosis induction by gilteritinib. The antitumor activity of gilteritinib was also comparable between xenograft mouse models injected with FL-expressing and mock MOLM-13 cells. In the FLT3 signaling analyses, gilteritinib inhibited FLT3wt and FLT3-ITD to a similar degree in HEK293 and Ba/F3 cells, and similarly suppressed FLT3 downstream signaling molecules (including ERK1/2 and STAT5) in both the presence and absence of FL in MOLM-13 cells. Co-crystal structure analysis showed that gilteritinib bound to the ATP-binding pocket of FLT3. These results suggest that gilteritinib has therapeutic potential in FLT3-mutated AML patients with FL overexpression.

Identification of a novel inhibitor of JAK2 tyrosine kinase by structure-based virtual screening.

Project description:Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) plays a crucial role in the pathomechanism of myeloproliferative disorders and hematologic malignancies. A somatic mutation of JAK2 (Val617Phe) was previously shown to occur in 98% of patients with polycythemia vera and 50% of patients with essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis. Thus, effective JAK2 kinase inhibitors may be of significant therapeutic importance. Here, we applied a structure-based virtual screen to identify novel JAK2 inhibitors. One JAK2 inhibitor in particular, G6, demonstrated remarkable potency as well as specificity, which makes it as a potential lead candidate against diseases related to elevated JAK2 tyrosine kinase activity.

DockoMatic 2.0: high throughput inverse virtual screening and homology modeling.

Project description:DockoMatic is a free and open source application that unifies a suite of software programs within a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) to facilitate molecular docking experiments. Here we describe the release of DockoMatic 2.0; significant software advances include the ability to (1) conduct high throughput inverse virtual screening (IVS); (2) construct 3D homology models; and (3) customize the user interface. Users can now efficiently setup, start, and manage IVS experiments through the DockoMatic GUI by specifying receptor(s), ligand(s), grid parameter file(s), and docking engine (either AutoDock or AutoDock Vina). DockoMatic automatically generates the needed experiment input files and output directories and allows the user to manage and monitor job progress. Upon job completion, a summary of results is generated by Dockomatic to facilitate interpretation by the user. DockoMatic functionality has also been expanded to facilitate the construction of 3D protein homology models using the Timely Integrated Modeler (TIM) wizard. The wizard TIM provides an interface that accesses the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) and MODELER programs and guides the user through the necessary steps to easily and efficiently create 3D homology models for biomacromolecular structures. The DockoMatic GUI can be customized by the user, and the software design makes it relatively easy to integrate additional docking engines, scoring functions, or third party programs. DockoMatic is a free comprehensive molecular docking software program for all levels of scientists in both research and education.

The FMS like Tyrosine Kinase 3 (FLT3) Is Overexpressed in a Subgroup of Multiple Myeloma Patients with Inferior Prognosis.

Project description:Therapy resistance remains a major challenge in the management of multiple myeloma (MM). We evaluated the expression of FLT3 tyrosine kinase receptor (FLT3, CD135) in myeloma cells as a possible clonal driver. FLT3 expression was analyzed in bone marrow biopsies of patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance or smoldering myeloma (MGUS, SMM), newly diagnosed MM (NDMM), and relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) by immunohistochemistry (IHC). FLT3 gene expression was analyzed by RNA sequencing (RNAseq) and real-time PCR (rt-PCR). Anti-myeloma activity of FLT3 inhibitors (midostaurin, gilteritinib) was tested in vitro on MM cell lines and primary MM cells by 3H-tymidine incorporation assays or flow cytometry. Semi-quantitative expression analysis applying a staining score (FLT3 expression IHC-score, FES, range 1-6) revealed that a high FES (>3) was associated with a significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) in NDMM and RRMM patients (p = 0.04). RNAseq and real-time PCR confirmed the expression of FLT3 in CD138-purified MM samples. The functional relevance of FLT3 expression was corroborated by demonstrating the in vitro anti-myeloma activity of FLT3 inhibitors on FLT3-positive MM cell lines and primary MM cells. FLT3 inhibitors might offer a new targeted therapy approach in a subgroup of MM patients displaying aberrant FLT3 signaling.

The Discovery of Novel BCR-ABL Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Using a Pharmacophore Modeling and Virtual Screening Approach.

Project description:Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) typically results from a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 to produce the bcr-abl oncogene that when translated, yields the p210 BCR-ABL protein in more than 90% of all CML patients. This protein has constitutive tyrosine kinase activity that activates numerous downstream pathways that ultimately produces uncontrolled myeloid proliferation. Although the use of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, and ponatinib have increased the overall survival of CML patients, their use is limited by drug resistance and severe adverse effects. Therefore, there is the need to develop novel compounds that can overcome these problems that limit the use of these drugs. Therefore, in this study, we sought to find novel compounds using Hypogen and Hiphip pharmacophore models based on the structures of clinically approved BCR-ABL TKIs. We also used optimal pharmacophore models such as three-dimensional queries to screen the ZINC database to search for potential BCR-ABL inhibitors. The hit compounds were further screened using Lipinski's rule of five, ADMET and molecular docking, and the efficacy of the hit compounds was evaluated. Our in vitro results indicated that compound ZINC21710815 significantly inhibited the proliferation of K562, BaF3/WT, and BaF3/T315I leukemia cells by inducing cell cycle arrest. The compound ZINC21710815 decreased the expression of p-BCR-ABL, STAT5, and Crkl and produced apoptosis and autophagy. Our results suggest that ZINC21710815 may be a potential BCR-ABL inhibitor that should undergo in vivo evaluation.

Phase IIB trial of oral Midostaurin (PKC412), the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 receptor (FLT3) and multi-targeted kinase inhibitor, in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome with either wild-type or mutated FLT3.

Project description:PurposeMutations leading to constitutive activation of the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 receptor (FLT3) occur in blasts of 30% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Midostaurin (PKC412; N-benzoylstaurosporin) is a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, with demonstrated activity in patients with AML/myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with FLT3 mutations.Patients and methodsNinety-five patients with AML or MDS with either wild-type (n = 60) or mutated (n = 35) FLT3 were randomly assigned to receive oral midostaurin at 50 or 100 mg twice daily. The drug was discontinued in the absence of response at 2 months, disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity. Response was defined as complete response, partial response (PR), hematologic improvement, or reduction in peripheral blood or bone marrow blasts by ≥ 50% (BR).ResultsThe rate of BR for the population in whom efficacy could be assessed (n = 92) was 71% in patients with FLT3-mutant and 42% in patients with FLT3 wild-type. One PR occurred in a patient with FLT3-mutant receiving the 100-mg dose regimen. Both doses were well-tolerated; there were no differences in toxicity or response rate according to the dose of midostaurin.ConclusionThese results suggest that midostaurin has hematologic activity in both patients with FLT3-mutant and wild-type. The degree of clinical activity observed supports additional studies that combine midostaurin and other agents such as chemotherapy especially in FLT3-mutant AML.
