Discovery of a Novel Inhibitor of the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Shp2.

ABSTRACT: Shp2 is a ubiquitously expressed protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) related to adult acute myelogenous leukemia and human solid tumors. In this report, we describe identification of a potent Shp2 inhibitor, Fumosorinone (Fumos) from entomogenous fungi, which shows selective inhibition of Shp2 over other tested PTPs. Using a surface plasmon resonance analysis, we further confirmed the physical interaction between Shp2 and Fumos. Fumos inhibits Shp2-dependent activation of the Ras/ERK signal pathway downstream of EGFR, and interrupts EGF-induced Gab1-Shp2 association. As expected, Fumos shows little effects on the Shp2-independent ERK1/2 activation induced by PMA or oncogenic Ras. Furthermore, Fumos down-regulates Src activation, inhibits phosphorylation of Paxillin and prevents tumor cell invasion. These results suggest that Fumos can inhibit Shp2-dependent cell signaling in human cells and has a potential for treatment of Shp2-associated diseases.

Shp2 protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor activity of estramustine phosphate and its triterpenoid analogs.

Project description:Shp2 protein tyrosine phosphate (PTP) is a novel target for anticancer drug discovery. We identified estramustine phosphate as a Shp2 PTP inhibitor from the National Cancer Institute Approved Oncology Drug set. A focused structure-activity relationship study indicated that the 17-phosphate group is required for the Shp2 PTP inhibitor activity of estramustine phosphate. A search for estramustine phosphate analogs led to identification of two triterpenoids, enoxolone, and celastrol, having Shp2 PTP inhibitor activity. With the previously reported PTP1B inhibitor trodusquemine, our study reveals steroids and triterpenoids with negatively charged phosphate, carboxylate, or sulfonate groups as novel pharmacophores of selective PTP inhibitors.

Identification of cryptotanshinone as an inhibitor of oncogenic protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 (PTPN11).

Project description:Activating mutations of PTPN11 (encoding the SHP2 phosphatase) are associated with Noonan syndrome, childhood leukemias, and sporadic solid tumors. Virtual screening combined with experimental assays was performed to identify inhibitors of SHP2 from a database of natural products. This effort led to the identification of cryptotanshinone as an inhibitor of SHP2. Cryptotanshinone inhibited SHP2 with an IC50 of 22.50 ?M. Fluorescence titration experiments confirmed that it directly bound to SHP2. Enzymatic kinetic analyses showed that cryptotanshinone was a mixed-type and irreversible inhibitor. This drug was further verified for its ability to block SHP2-mediated cell signaling and cellular functions. Furthermore, mouse myeloid progenitors and patient leukemic cells with the activating mutation E76K in PTPN11 were found to be sensitive to this inhibitor. Since cryptotanshinone is used to treat cardiovascular diseases in Asian countries, this drug has a potential to be used directly or to be further developed to treat PTPN11-associated malignancies.

Discovery of novel furanylbenzamide inhibitors that target oncogenic tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 in leukemia cells.

Project description:Disturbance of the dynamic balance between tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of signaling molecules, controlled by protein tyrosine kinases and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), is known to lead to the development of cancer. While most approved targeted cancer therapies are tyrosine kinase inhibitors, PTPs have long been stigmatized as undruggable and have only recently gained renewed attention in drug discovery. One PTP target is the Src-homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2). SHP2 is implicated in tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, and treatment resistance, primarily because of its role as a signaling nexus of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway, acting upstream of the small GTPase Ras. Efforts to develop small molecules that target SHP2 are ongoing, and several SHP2 allosteric inhibitors are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumors. However, while the reported allosteric inhibitors are highly effective against cells expressing WT SHP2, none have significant activity against the most frequent oncogenic SHP2 variants that drive leukemogenesis in several juvenile and acute leukemias. Here, we report the discovery of novel furanylbenzamide molecules as inhibitors of both WT and oncogenic SHP2. Importantly, these inhibitors readily cross cell membranes, bind and inhibit SHP2 under physiological conditions, and effectively decrease the growth of cancer cells, including triple-negative breast cancer cells, acute myeloid leukemia cells expressing either WT or oncogenic SHP2, and patient-derived acute myeloid leukemia cells. These novel compounds are effective chemical probes of active SHP2 and may serve as starting points for therapeutics targeting WT or mutant SHP2 in cancer.

Integrating virtual and biochemical screening for protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor discovery.

Project description:Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) represent an important class of enzymes that mediate signal transduction and control diverse aspects of cell behavior. The importance of their activity is exemplified by their significant contribution to disease etiology with over half of all human PTP genes implicated in at least one disease. Small molecule inhibitors targeting individual PTPs are important biological tools, and are needed to fully characterize the function of these enzymes. Moreover, potent and selective PTP inhibitors hold the promise to transform the treatment of many diseases. While numerous methods exist to develop PTP-directed small molecules, we have found that complimentary use of both virtual (in silico) and biochemical (in vitro) screening approaches expedite compound identification and drug development. Here, we summarize methods pertinent to our work and others. Focusing on specific challenges and successes we have experienced, we discuss the considerable caution that must be taken to avoid enrichment of inhibitors that function by non-selective oxidation. We also discuss the utility of using "open" PTP structures to identify active-site directed compounds, a rather unconventional choice for virtual screening. When integrated closely, virtual and biochemical screening can be used in a productive workflow to identify small molecules targeting PTPs.

Novel Small-Molecule Inhibitor for the Oncogenic Tyrosine Phosphatase SHP2 with Anti-Breast Cancer Cell Effects.

Project description:The oncogenic property of the Src homology phosphotyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) is well-known, but developing specific inhibitors has been very difficult. Based on our previous reports that showed the importance of acidic residues surrounding SHP2 substrate phosphotyrosines for specific recognition, we have rationally designed and chemically synthesized a small-molecule SHP2 inhibitor named 4,4'-(4'-carboxy)-4-nonyloxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3,5-diyl)dibutanoic acid (CNBDA). Molecular modeling predicted that CNBDA packs well into the SHP2 active site and makes extended interactions primarily with positively charged and polar amino acids surrounding the active site. In vitro PTPase assays showed that CNBDA inhibits SHP2 with an IC50 of 5 μM. However, the IC50 of CNBDA toward SHP1, the close structural homologue of SHP2, was 125 μM, suggesting an approximately 25-fold effectiveness against SHP2 than SHP1. Because SHP2 is known for its positive role in breast cancer (BC) cell biology, we tested the effect of SHP2 inhibition with CNBDA in HER2-positive BC cells. Treatment with CNBDA suppressed cell proliferation in 2D culture, anchorage-independent growth in soft agar, and mammosphere (tumorisphere) formation in suspension cultures in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, CNBDA inhibited EGF-induced signaling and expression of HER2 by inhibiting the PTPase activity of SHP2 in BC cells. These findings suggest that CNBDA is a promising anti-SHP2 lead compound with anti-BC cell effects.

Control of oligodendrocyte generation and proliferation by Shp2 protein tyrosine phosphatase.

Project description:Extracellular signals play essential roles in controlling the proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in the developing central nervous system. However, the intracellular pathways that transduce these extrinsic signals remain to be elucidated. In this study, we showed that conditional ablation of the nonreceptor tyrosine phosphatase Shp2 in Olig1-expressing oligodendrocyte lineage resulted in dramatic reduction in the generation and proliferation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in the spinal cord. Maturation and myelination of oligodendrocytes were also compromised in the Shp2 mutants. The deficits in oligodendrocyte development in Shp2 mutants nearly phenocopied those observed in PDGF-A mutants, suggesting that Shp2 is a crucial component in transducing PDGF-A signals in the control of oligodendrocyte proliferation and maturation.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase Shp2 deficiency in podocytes attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced proteinuria.

Project description:Podocytes are specialized epithelial cells that play a significant role in maintaining the integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier and preventing urinary protein leakage. We investigated the contribution of protein tyrosine phosphatase Shp2 to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced renal injury. We report increased Shp2 expression in murine kidneys and cultured podocytes following an LPS challenge. To determine the role of podocyte Shp2 in vivo, we generated podocyte-specific Shp2 knockout (pod-Shp2 KO) mice. Following administration of LPS, pod-Shp2 KO mice exhibited lower proteinuria and blood urea nitrogen concentrations than controls indicative of preserved filter integrity. In addition, renal mRNA and serum concentrations of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNFα, INFγ and IL-12 p70 were significantly decreased in LPS-treated knockout mice compared with controls. Moreover, the protective effects of podocyte Shp2 deficiency were associated with decreased LPS-induced NF-κB and MAPK activation, nephrin phosphorylation and attenuated endoplasmic reticulum stress. These effects were recapitulated in differentiated E11 murine podocytes with lentiviral-mediated Shp2 knockdown. Furthermore, Shp2 deficient podocytes displayed reduced LPS-induced migration in a wound healing assay. These findings identify Shp2 in podocytes as a significant contributor to the signaling events following LPS challenge and suggest that inhibition of Shp2 in podocytes may present a potential therapeutic target for podocytopathies.

Small Molecule Inhibitor that Stabilizes the Autoinhibited Conformation of the Oncogenic Tyrosine Phosphatase SHP2.

Project description:Genetic mutations in the phosphatase PTPN11 (SHP2) are associated with childhood leukemias. These mutations cause hyperactivation of SHP2 due to the disruption of the autoinhibitory conformation. By targeting the activation-associated protein conformational change, we have identified an SHP2 inhibitor ( E)-1-(1-(5-(3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)acryloyl)-2-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-3-yl)-1 H-benzo[ d]imidazol-2(3 H)-one (LY6, 1) using computer-aided drug design database screening combined with cell-based assays. This compound inhibited SHP2 with an IC50 value of 9.8 μM, 7-fold more selective for SHP2 than the highly related SHP1. Fluorescence titration, thermal shift, and microscale thermophoresis quantitative binding assays confirmed its direct binding to SHP2. This compound was further verified to effectively inhibit SHP2-mediated cell signaling and proliferation. Furthermore, mouse and patient leukemia cells with PTPN11 activating mutations were more sensitive to this inhibitor than wild-type cells. This small molecule SHP2 inhibitor has a potential to serve as a lead compound for further optimization studies to develop novel anti-SHP2 therapeutic agents.

Targeting protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 for the treatment of PTPN11-associated malignancies.

Project description:Activating mutations in PTPN11 (encoding SHP2), a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) that plays an overall positive role in growth factor and cytokine signaling, are directly associated with the pathogenesis of Noonan syndrome and childhood leukemias. Identification of SHP2-selective inhibitors could lead to the development of new drugs that ultimately serve as treatments for PTPN11-associated diseases. As the catalytic core of SHP2 shares extremely high homology to those of SHP1 and other PTPs that play negative roles in cell signaling, to identify selective inhibitors of SHP2 using computer-aided drug design, we targeted a protein surface pocket that is adjacent to the catalytic site, is predicted to be important for binding to phosphopeptide substrates, and has structural features unique to SHP2. From computationally selected candidate compounds, #220-324 effectively inhibited SHP2 activity with an IC50 of 14 ?mol/L. Fluorescence titration experiments confirmed its direct binding to SHP2. This active compound was further verified for its ability to inhibit SHP2-mediated cell signaling and cellular function with minimal off-target effects. Furthermore, mouse myeloid progenitors with the activating mutation (E76K) in PTPN11 and patient leukemic cells with the same mutation were more sensitive to this inhibitor than wild-type cells. This study provides evidence that SHP2 is a "druggable" target for the treatment of PTPN11-associated diseases. As the small-molecule SHP2 inhibitor identified has a simple chemical structure, it represents an ideal lead compound for the development of novel anti-SHP2 drugs.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 promotes invadopodia formation through suppression of Rho signaling.

Project description:Invadopodia are actin-enriched membrane protrusions that are important for extracellular matrix degradation and invasive cell motility. Src homolog domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2), a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase, has been shown to play an important role in promoting cancer metastasis, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. In this study, we found that depletion of SHP2 by short-hairpin RNA suppressed invadopodia formation in several cancer cell lines, particularly in the SAS head and neck squamous cell line. In contrast, overexpression of SHP2 promoted invadopodia formation in the CAL27 head and neck squamous cell line, which expresses low levels of endogenous SHP2. The depletion of SHP2 in SAS cells significantly decreased their invasive motility. The suppression of invadopodia formation by SHP2 depletion was restored by the Clostridium botulinum C3 exoenzyme (a Rho GTPase inhibitor) or Y27632 (a specific inhibitor for Rho-associated kinase). Together, our results suggest that SHP2 may promote invadopodia formation through inhibition of Rho signaling in cancer cells.
