Quantitative Interrogation of the Human Kinome Perturbed by Two BRAF Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Oncogenic BRAF mutations contribute to the development of a number of cancers, and small-molecule BRAF inhibitors have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for anticancer therapy. In this study, we employed two targeted quantitative proteomics approaches for monitoring separately the alterations in protein expression and ATP binding affinities of kinases in cultured human melanoma cells elicited by two FDA-approved small-molecule BRAF inhibitors, dabrafenib and vemurafenib. Our results showed that treatment with the two inhibitors led to markedly different reprograming of the human kinome. Furthermore, we confirmed that vemurafenib could compromise the ATP binding capacity of MAP2K5 in vitro and inhibit its kinase activity in cells. Together, our targeted quantitative proteomic methods revealed profound changes in expression levels of kinase proteins in cultured melanoma cells upon treatment with clinically used BRAF inhibitors and led to the discovery of novel putative target kinases for these inhibitors.

Chemical interrogation of the malaria kinome.

Project description:Malaria, an infectious disease caused by eukaryotic parasites of the genus Plasmodium, afflicts hundreds of millions of people every year. Both the parasite and its host utilize protein kinases to regulate essential cellular processes. Bioinformatic analyses of parasite genomes predict at least 65 protein kinases, but their biological functions and therapeutic potential are largely unknown. We profiled 1358 small-molecule kinase inhibitors to evaluate the role of both the human and the malaria kinomes in Plasmodium infection of liver cells, the parasites' obligatory but transient developmental stage that precedes the symptomatic blood stage. The screen identified several small molecules that inhibit parasite load in liver cells, some with nanomolar efficacy, and each compound was subsequently assessed for activity against blood-stage malaria. Most of the screening hits inhibited both liver- and blood-stage malaria parasites, which have dissimilar gene expression profiles and infect different host cells. Evaluation of existing kinase activity profiling data for the library members suggests that several kinases are essential to malaria parasites, including cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), glycogen synthase kinases, and phosphoinositide-3-kinases. CDK inhibitors were found to bind to Plasmodium protein kinase 5, but it is likely that these compounds target multiple parasite kinases. The dual-stage inhibition of the identified kinase inhibitors makes them useful chemical probes and promising starting points for antimalarial development.

Exploring Selectivity of Multikinase Inhibitors across the Human Kinome.

Project description:Selectivity of kinase inhibitors, or the lack thereof, continues to be an intensely debated topic in drug discovery research. Especially, type I inhibitors, which represent most of the currently available kinase inhibitors, are often thought to lack selectivity because they target the largely conserved adenosine triphosphate-binding site in kinases. Herein, we present a large-scale analysis of potential selectivity among multikinase inhibitors, covering 141 human kinases and more than 10 000 qualifying compounds. By design, the analysis was focused on type I inhibitors and carried out at the level of systematically generated kinase pairs sharing inhibitors. Kinase pair category- and compound-based selectivity profiles identified in part highly selective inhibitors for many kinases. Sets of inhibitors associated with kinase pairs frequently contained nonselective as well as increasingly selective compounds. Selectivity of inhibitors did not result from gatekeeper residues settings or phylogenetic distance of kinases. Rather, it was most likely attributable to subtle differences between binding regions in kinases. Taken together, the results of our study reveal that many multikinase inhibitors are more selective than one might assume.

Targeting BRD/BET proteins inhibits adaptive kinome upregulation and enhances the effects of BRAF/MEK inhibitors in melanoma.

Project description:BackgroundBRAF-mutant melanoma patients respond to BRAF inhibitors and MEK inhibitors (BRAFi/MEKi), but drug-tolerant cells persist, which may seed disease progression. Adaptive activation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) has been associated with melanoma cell drug tolerance following targeted therapy. While co-targeting individual RTKs can enhance the efficacy of BRAFi/MEKi effects, it remains unclear how to broadly target multiple RTKs to achieve more durable tumour growth inhibition.MethodsThe blockage of adaptive RTK responses by the new BET inhibitor (BETi), PLX51107, was measured by RPPA and Western blot. Melanoma growth was evaluated in vitro by colony assay and EdU staining, as well as in skin reconstructs, xenografts and PDX models following BRAFi, MEKi and/or PLX51107 treatment.ResultsTreatment with PLX51107 limited BRAFi/MEKi upregulation of ErbB3 and PDGFR-β expression levels. Similar effects were observed following BRD2/4 depletion. In stage III melanoma patients, expression of BRD2/4 was strongly correlated with ErbB3. PLX51107 enhanced the effects of BRAFi/MEKi on inhibiting melanoma growth in vitro, in human skin reconstructs and in xenografts in vivo. Continuous triple drug combination treatment resulted in significant weight loss in mice, but intermittent BETi combined with continuous BRAFi/MEKi treatment was tolerable and improved durable tumour inhibition outcomes.ConclusionsTogether, our data suggest that intermittent inhibition of BET proteins may improve the duration of responses following BRAFi/MEKi treatment in BRAF-mutant melanoma.

Chemical interrogation of the neuronal kinome using a primary cell-based screening assay.

Project description:A fundamental impediment to functional recovery from spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury is the lack of sufficient axonal regeneration in the adult central nervous system. There is thus a need to develop agents that can stimulate axon growth to re-establish severed connections. Given the critical role played by protein kinases in regulating axon growth and the potential for pharmacological intervention, small molecule protein kinase inhibitors present a promising therapeutic strategy. Here, we report a robust cell-based phenotypic assay, utilizing primary rat hippocampal neurons, for identifying small molecule kinase inhibitors that promote neurite growth. The assay is highly reliable and suitable for medium-throughput screening, as indicated by its Z'-factor of 0.73. A focused structurally diverse library of protein kinase inhibitors was screened, revealing several compound groups with the ability to strongly and consistently promote neurite growth. The best performing bioassay hit robustly and consistently promoted axon growth in a postnatal cortical slice culture assay. This study can serve as a jumping-off point for structure activity relationship (SAR) and other drug discovery approaches toward the development of drugs for treating SCI and related neurological pathologies.

Interrogation of the perturbed gut microbiota in gouty arthritis patients through in silico metabolic modeling.

Project description:Recent studies have shown perturbed gut microbiota associated with gouty arthritis, a metabolic disease characterized by an imbalance between uric acid production and excretion. To mechanistically investigate altered microbiota metabolism associated with gout disease, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequence data from stool samples of gout patients and healthy controls were computationally analyzed through bacterial community metabolic models. Patient-specific community models constructed with the metagenomics modeling pipeline, mgPipe, were used to perform k-means clustering of samples according to their metabolic capabilities. The clustering analysis generated statistically significant partitioning of samples into a Bacteroides-dominated, high gout cluster and a Faecalibacterium-elevated, low gout cluster. The high gout cluster was predicted to allow elevated synthesis of the amino acids D-alanine and L-alanine and byproducts of branched-chain amino acid catabolism, while the low gout cluster allowed higher production of butyrate, the sulfur-containing amino acids L-cysteine and L-methionine, and the L-cysteine catabolic product H2S. By expanding the capabilities of mgPipe to provide taxa-level resolution of metabolite exchange rates, acetate, D-lactate and succinate exchanged from Bacteroides to Faecalibacterium were predicted to enhance butyrate production in the low gout cluster. Model predictions suggested that sulfur-containing amino acid metabolism generally and H2S more specifically could be novel gout disease markers.

Proteogenomics Reveals Perturbed Signaling Networks in Malignant Melanoma Cells Resistant to BRAF Inhibition.

Project description:Analysis of nucleotide variants is a cornerstone of cancer medicine. Although only 2% of the genomic sequence is protein coding, mutations occurring in these regions have the potential to influence protein structure or modification status and may have severe impact on disease aetiology. Proteogenomics enables the analysis of sample-specific nonsynonymous nucleotide variants with regard to their effect at the proteome and phosphoproteome levels. Here, we developed a proof-of-concept proteogenomics workflow and applied it to the malignant melanoma cell line A375. Initially, we studied the resistance to serine/threonine-protein kinase B-raf (BRAF) inhibitor (BRAFi) vemurafenib in A375 cells. This allowed identification of several oncogenic nonsynonymous nucleotide variants, including a gain-of-function variant on aurora kinase A (AURKA) at F31I. We also detected significant changes in abundance among (phospho)proteins, which led to reactivation of the MAPK signaling pathway in BRAFi-resistant A375 cells. Upon reconstruction of the multiomic integrated signaling networks, we predicted drug therapies with the potential to disrupt BRAFi resistance mechanism in A375 cells. Notably, we showed that AURKA inhibition is effective and specific against BRAFi-resistant A375 cells. Subsequently, we investigated amino acid variants that interfere with protein posttranslational modification (PTM) status and potentially influence A375 cell signaling irrespective of BRAFi resistance. Mass spectrometry (MS) measurements confirmed variant-driven PTM changes in 12 proteins. Among them was the runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) displaying a variant on a known phosphorylation site S(Ph)276L. We confirmed the loss of phosphorylation site by MS and demonstrated the impact of this variant on RUNX1 interactome.

BRAF inhibitors in clinical oncology.

Project description:Activating mutations of the BRAF oncogene are present in approximately 5-10% of all human malignancies and lead to constitutive activation of the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. The introduction of BRAF inhibitors has greatly improved the short term prospects of some patients with these tumors, but the tumors tend to become resistant to therapy with time by activating alternative signaling pathways. Consequently, combination strategies with drugs that block not only the primary mutated BRAF kinase but also the alternative pathways implicated in development of resistance may represent a better strategy for improving survival in patients with tumors harboring BRAF mutations.

Analysis of the human kinome using methods including fold recognition reveals two novel kinases.

Project description:BackgroundProtein sequence similarity is a commonly used criterion for inferring the unknown function of a protein from a protein of known function. However, proteins can diverge significantly over time such that sequence similarity is difficult, if not impossible, to find. In some cases, a structural similarity remains over long evolutionary time scales and once detected can be used to predict function.Methodology/principal findingsHere we employed a high-throughput approach to assign structural and functional annotation to the human proteome, focusing on the collection of human protein kinases, the human kinome. We compared human protein sequences to a library of domains from known structures using WU-BLAST, PSI-BLAST, and 123D. This approach utilized both sequence comparison and fold recognition methods. The resulting set of potential protein kinases was cross-checked against previously identified human protein kinases, and analyzed for conserved kinase motifs.Conclusions/significanceWe demonstrate that our structure-based method can be used to identify both typical and atypical human protein kinases. We also identify two potentially novel kinases that contain an interesting combination of kinase and acyl-CoA dehydrogenase domains.

Gene expression profiling of B9 cells in response to two classes of BRAF inhibitors

Project description:Selective RAF inhibitors including vemurafenib (PLX4032) have demonstrated clinical efficacy in mutant BRAF driven metastatic melanoma. The clinical effectiveness of RAF inhibitors depends on near complete abolition of the MAPK pathway output in tumors harboring BRAF mutations. However these compounds paradoxically activate the MAPK pathway in cells bearing oncogenic RAS or elevated upstream receptor signaling. This paradox can promote cellular proliferation and can manifest clinically with progression of secondary malignancies such as cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cuSCC). We have identified next generation RAF inhibitors (“paradox breakers”, e.g. PLX7904) that inhibit mutant BRAF cells without activating the MAPK pathway in cells bearing upstream activation. In murine cuSCC B9 cells that express the same HRAS mutation prevalent in squamous tumors from patients treated with RAF inhibitors, the first-generation RAF PLX4032 stimulated in vitro and in vivo growth; by contrast the paradox breaker PLX7904 had no effect. Here we compared the gene expression changes in B9 cells treated overnight with PLX4032 and PLX7904.

Functional proteomics interrogation of the kinome identifies MRCKA as a therapeutic target in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma.

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most lethal gynecological cancer with few effective, targeted therapies. HGSOC tumors exhibit genomic instability with frequent alterations in the protein kinome; however, only a small fraction of the kinome has been therapeutically targeted in HGSOC. Using multiplexed inhibitor beads and mass spectrometry, we mapped the kinome landscape of HGSOC tumors from patients and patient-derived xenograft models. The data revealed a prevalent signature consisting of established HGSOC driver kinases, as well as several kinases previously unexplored in HGSOC. Loss-of-function analysis of these kinases in HGSOC cells indicated MRCKA (also known as CDC42BPA) as a putative therapeutic target. Characterization of the effects of MRCKA knockdown in established HGSOC cell lines demonstrated that MRCKA was integral to signaling that regulated the cell cycle checkpoint, focal adhesion, and actin remodeling, as well as cell migration, proliferation, and survival. Moreover, inhibition of MRCKA using the small-molecule BDP9066 decreased cell proliferation and spheroid formation and induced apoptosis in HGSOC cells, suggesting that MRCKA may be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of HGSOC.
