Inhibition of the deubiquitinase USP10 induces degradation of SYK.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is growing evidence that spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) is critical for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) transformation and maintenance of the leukemic clone in AML patients. It has also been found to be over-expressed in AML patients, with activating mutations in foetal liver tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), particularly those with internal tandem duplications (FLT3-ITD), where it transactivates FLT3-ITD and confers resistance to treatment with FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Methods

We have previously described a pharmacological approach to treating FLT3-ITD-positive AML that relies on proteasome-mediated FLT3 degradation via inhibition of USP10, the deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) responsible for cleaving ubiquitin from FLT3.

Results

Here, we show that USP10 is also a major DUB required for stabilisation of SYK. We further demonstrate that degradation of SYK can be induced by USP10-targeting inhibitors. USP10 inhibition leads to death of cells driven by active SYK or oncogenic FLT3 and potentiates the anti-leukemic effects of FLT3 inhibition in these cells.

Conclusions

We suggest that USP10 inhibition is a novel approach to inhibiting SYK and impeding its role in the pathology of AML, including oncogenic FLT3-positive AML. Also, given the significant transforming role SYK in other tumours, targeting USP10 may have broader applications in cancer.

Inhibition of USP10 induces degradation of oncogenic FLT3.

Project description:Oncogenic forms of the kinase FLT3 are important therapeutic targets in acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, clinical responses to small-molecule kinase inhibitors are short-lived as a result of the rapid emergence of resistance due to point mutations or compensatory increases in FLT3 expression. We sought to develop a complementary pharmacological approach whereby proteasome-mediated FLT3 degradation could be promoted by inhibitors of the deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) responsible for cleaving ubiquitin from FLT3. Because the relevant DUBs for FLT3 are not known, we assembled a focused library of most reported small-molecule DUB inhibitors and carried out a cellular phenotypic screen to identify compounds that could induce the degradation of oncogenic FLT3. Subsequent target deconvolution efforts allowed us to identify USP10 as the critical DUB required to stabilize FLT3. Targeting of USP10 showed efficacy in preclinical models of mutant-FLT3 AML, including cell lines, primary patient specimens and mouse models of oncogenic-FLT3-driven leukemia.

The deubiquitinase USP10 regulates KLF4 stability and suppresses lung tumorigenesis.

Project description:Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4), a key transcription factor, acts as a multifunctional player involved in the progression of numerous aggressive cancers. The proteasome-dependent pathway is one of the main modalities in controlling KLF4 abundance at a posttranslational level. Although some of the ubiquitin ligases have been identified, the deubiquitinases of KLF4 and the regulatory function remain unexplored. Here, by screening ubiquitin-specific proteases that may interact with KLF4, we found ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10) as a deubiquitinating enzyme for KLF4. Forced expression of USP10 remarkably increases KLF4 protein level by blocking the latter degradation, whereas the depletion of USP10 promotes KLF4 degradation and thus enhances tumorigenesis. Loss of USP10 in mice downregulates KLF4 expression and accelerates KrasG12D-driven lung adenocarcinoma initiation and progression. In addition, our data revealed that KLF4 can facilitate the transcription of tumor suppressor TIMP3 by directly binding to the TIMP3 promoter. Clinically, reduction of USP10 expression, concomitant with decreased KLF4 and TIMP3 abundance in carcinoma tissue, predicts poor prognosis of lung cancer patient. Taken together, our results demonstrate that USP10 is a critical regulator of KLF4, pinpointing USP10-KLF4-TIMP3 axis as a promising therapeutic target in lung cancer.

The deubiquitinase USP10 protects pancreatic cancer cells from endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Project description:The ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10) plays a context-specific, pro or anti-tumorigenic role in different malignancies. However, the role of USP10 in pancreatic cancer remains unclear. Our protein and RNA level analysis from archived specimens and public databases show that USP10 is overexpressed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and expression correlates with poor overall patient survival. Phenotypically, silencing USP10 decreased viability, clonal growth and invasive properties of pancreatic cancer cells. Mechanistically, silencing USP10 upregulated BiP and induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress that led to an unfolded protein response (UPR) and upregulation of PERK, IRE1α. Decreased cell viability of USP10 silenced cells could be rescued by a chemical chaperone that promotes protein folding. Our studies suggest that USP10 by protecting pancreatic cancer cells from ER stress may support tumor progression.

Deubiquitinase USP10 promotes osteosarcoma autophagy and progression through regulating GSK3β-ULK1 axis.

Project description:BackgroundDeubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are pivotal in maintaining cell homeostasis by regulating substrate protein ubiquitination in both healthy and cancer cells. Ubiquitin-specific protease 10 (USP10) belongs to the DUB family. In this study, we investigated the clinical and pathological significance of USP10 and Unc-51-like autophagy activating kinase 1 (ULK1) in osteosarcoma (OS), as well as the mechanism of USP10 action in ULK1-mediated autophagy and disease progression.ResultsThe analysis of OS and adjacent normal tissues demonstrated that USP10 and ULK1 were significantly overexpressed in OS, and a positive association between their expression and malignant properties was observed. USP10 knockdown in OS cells reduced ULK1 mRNA and protein expression, whereas USP10 overexpression increased ULK1 mRNA and protein expression. In vitro experiments showed that USP10 induced autophagy, cell proliferation, and invasion by enhancing ULK1 expression in OS cell lines. Furthermore, we found that the regulation of ULK1-mediated autophagy, cell proliferation, and invasion in OS by USP10 was dependent on glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) activity. Mechanistically, USP10 promoted ULK1 transcription by interacting with and stabilising GSK3β through deubiquitination, which, in turn, increased the activity of the ULK1 promoter, thereby accelerating OS progression. Using a xenograft mouse model, we showed that Spautin-1, a small-molecule inhibitor targeting USP10, significantly reduced OS development, with its anti-tumour activity significantly enhanced when combined with the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin.ConclusionCollectively, we demonstrated that the USP10-GSK3β-ULK1 axis promoted autophagy, cell proliferation, and invasion in OS. The findings imply that targeting USP10 may offer a promising therapeutic avenue for treating OS.

The formin DAAM1 regulates the deubiquitinase activity of USP10 and integrin homeostasis.

Project description:The differentiation of fibroblasts into pathological myofibroblasts during wound healing is characterized by increased cell surface expression of αv-integrins. Our previous studies found that the deubiquitinase (DUB) USP10 removes ubiquitin from αv-integrins, leading to cell surface integrin accumulation, subsequent TGFβ1 activation, and pathological myofibroblast differentiation. In this study, a yeast two-hybrid screen revealed a novel binding partner for USP10, the formin, DAAM1. We found that DAAM1 binds to and inhibits USP10's DUB activity through the FH2 domain of DAAM1 independent of its actin functions. The USP10/DAAM1 interaction was also supported by proximity ligation assay (PLA) in primary human corneal fibroblasts. Treatment with TGFβ1 significantly increased USP10 and DAAM1 protein expression, PLA signal, and co-localization to actin stress fibers. DAAM1 siRNA knockdown significantly reduced co-precipitation of USP10 and DAAM1 on purified actin stress fibers, and β1- and β5-integrin ubiquitination. This resulted in increased αv-, β1-, and β5-integrin total protein levels, αv-integrin recycling, and extracellular fibronectin (FN) deposition. Together, our data demonstrate that DAAM1 inhibits USP10's DUB activity on integrins subsequently regulating cell surface αv-integrin localization and FN accumulation.

USP10 Is an Essential Deubiquitinase for Hematopoiesis and Inhibits Apoptosis of Long-Term Hematopoietic Stem Cells.

Project description:Self-renewal, replication, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are regulated by cytokines produced by niche cells in fetal liver and bone marrow. HSCs must overcome stresses induced by cytokine deprivation during normal development. In this study, we found that ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10) is a crucial deubiquitinase for mouse hematopoiesis. All USP10 knockout (KO) mice died within 1 year because of bone marrow failure with pancytopenia. Bone marrow failure in these USP10-KO mice was associated with remarkable reductions of long-term HSCs (LT-HSCs) in bone marrow and fetal liver. Such USP10-KO fetal liver exhibited enhanced apoptosis of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) including LT-HSCs but not of lineage-committed progenitor cells. Transplantation of USP10-competent bone marrow cells into USP10-KO mice reconstituted multilineage hematopoiesis. These results suggest that USP10 is an essential deubiquitinase in hematopoiesis and functions by inhibiting apoptosis of HSPCs including LT-HSCs.

Cathepsin K inhibition induces Raptor destabilization and mitochondrial dysfunction via Syk/SHP2/Src/OTUB1 axis-mediated signaling.

Project description:The Raptor signaling pathway is a critical point of intervention in the invasion and progression of cancer. The non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src-mediated phosphorylation of OTUB1-Y26 plays a critical role in Raptor stabilization, whereas cathepsin K inhibitor (odanacatib; ODN) and knockdown (siRNA) induce Raptor destabilization. However, the mechanisms involved in cathepsin K inhibition-induced OTUB1-Y26 phosphorylation in Raptor stabilization have not been yet elucidated. This study showed that cathepsin K inhibition activates SHP2, a tyrosine phosphatase, that dephosphorylates OTUB1 and destabilizes Raptor, whereas SHP2 deletion and pharmacological inhibition increase OTUB1-Y26 phosphorylation and Raptor expression. SHP2 deletion also led to the inhibition of ODN-induced mitochondrial ROS, fusion, and dysfunction. Furthermore, cathepsin K inhibition phosphorylated spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) at Y525 and Y526, resulting in the SHP2-mediated dephosphorylation of OTUB1-Y26. Collectively, our findings identified Syk not only as an upstream tyrosine kinase required for SHP2 activation but also showed a critical mechanism that regulates ODN-induced Raptor downregulation and mitochondrial dysfunction. In conclusion, Syk/SHP2/Src/OTUB1 axis-mediated signaling can act as a therapeutic target in cancer management.

Glutaminase inhibition in multiple myeloma induces apoptosis via MYC degradation.

Project description:Multiple Myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematological malignancy affecting millions of people worldwide. As in all tumor cells both glucose and more recently glutamine have been identified as important for MM cellular metabolism, however there is some dispute as to the role of glutamine in MM cell survival. Here we show that the small molecule inhibitor compound 968 effectively inhibits glutaminase and that this inhibition induces apoptosis in both human multiple myeloma cell lines (HMCLs) and primary patient material. The HMCL U266 which does not express MYC was insensitive to both glutamine removal and compound 968, but ectopic expression of MYC imparted sensitivity. Finally, we show that glutamine depletion is reflected by rapid loss of MYC protein which is independent of MYC transcription and post translational modifications. However, MYC loss is dependent on proteasomal activity, and this loss was paralleled by an equally rapid induction of apoptosis. These findings are in contrast to those of glucose depletion which largely affected rates of proliferation in HMCLs, but had no effects on either MYC expression or viability. Therefore, inhibition of glutaminolysis is effective at inducing apoptosis and thus serves as a possible therapeutic target in MM.

Inhibition of HOXD11 promotes cartilage degradation and induces osteoarthritis development.

Project description:The 5'-HOXD genes are important for chondrogenesis in vertebrates, but their roles in osteoarthritis (OA) are still ambiguous. In our study, 5'-HOXD genes involvement contributing to cartilage degradation and OA was investigated. In bioinformatics analysis of 5'-HOXD genes, we obtained the GSE169077 data set related to OA in the GEO and analyzed DEGs using the GEO2R tool attached to the GEO. Then, we screened the mRNA levels of 5'-HOXD genes by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). We discovered that OA chondrocyte proliferation was inhibited, and apoptosis was increased. Moreover, it was discovered that SOX9 and COL2A1 were downregulated at mRNA and protein levels, while matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTSs) were upregulated. According to the results of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and qRT-PCR, we evaluated the protein level of HOXD11 and found that the expression of HOXD11 was downregulated, reversed to MMPs and ADAMTSs but consistent with the cartilage-specific factors, SOX9 and COL2A1. In the lentivirus transfection experiments, HOXD11 overexpression reversed the effects in OA chondrocytes. In human OA articular cartilage, aberrant subchondral bone was formed in hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and Safranin O and fast green (SOFG) staining results. Furthermore, according to immunohistochemistry findings, SOX9 and HOXD11 expression was inhibited. The results of this study established that HOXD11 was downregulated in OA cartilage and that overexpression of HOXD11 could prevent cartilage degradation in OA.
