Low NCOR2 levels in multiple myeloma patients drive multidrug resistance via MYC upregulation.

ABSTRACT: MYC upregulation is associated with multidrug refractory disease in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). We, isolated patient-derived MM cells with high MYC expression and discovered that NCOR2 was down-regulated in these cells. NCOR2 is a transcriptional coregulatory protein and its role in MM remains unknown. To define the role of NCOR2 in MM, we created NCOR2 knockout human myeloma cell lines and demonstrated that NCOR2 knockout led to high MYC expression. Furthermore, NCOR2 knockout conferred resistance to pomalidomide, BET and HDAC inhibitors, independent of Cereblon (CRBN), indicating high MYC expression as a cause of multidrug resistance. Moreover, NCOR2 interacted with the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex and repressed the expression of CD180 by directly binding to its promoter and inducing MYC expression. Next, we generated lenalidomide-resistant and pomalidomide-resistant human myeloma cell lines. Whole-exome sequencing revealed that these cell lines acquired the same exonic mutations of NCOR2. These cell lines showed NCOR2 downregulation and MYC upregulation independent of CRBN and demonstrated resistance to BET and HDAC inhibitors. Our findings reveal a novel CRBN independent molecular mechanism associated with drug resistance. Low NCOR2 expression can serve as a potential biomarker for drug resistance and needs further validation in larger prospective studies.

A liquid biopsy to detect multidrug resistance and disease burden in multiple myeloma.

Project description:Multiple myeloma is an incurable cancer of bone marrow plasma cells, with a 5-year survival rate of 43%. Its incidence has increased by 126% since 1990. Treatment typically involves high-dose combination chemotherapy, but therapeutic response and patient survival are unpredictable and highly variable-attributed largely to the development of multidrug resistance (MDR). MDR is the simultaneous cross-resistance to a range of unrelated chemotherapeutic agents and is associated with poor prognosis and survival. Currently, no clinical procedures allow for a direct, continuous monitoring of MDR. We identified circulating large extracellular vesicles (specifically microparticles (MPs)) that can be used to monitor disease burden, disease progression and development of MDR in myeloma. These MPs differ phenotypically in the expression of four protein biomarkers: a plasma-cell marker (CD138), the MDR protein, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), the stem-cell marker (CD34); and phosphatidylserine (PS), an MP marker and mediator of cancer spread. Elevated levels of P-gp+ and PS+ MPs correlate with disease progression and treatment unresponsiveness. Furthermore, P-gp, PS and CD34 are predominantly expressed in CD138- MPs in advanced disease. In particular, a dual-positive (CD138-P-gp+CD34+) population is elevated in aggressive/unresponsive disease. Our test provides a personalised liquid biopsy with potential to address the unmet clinical need of monitoring MDR and treatment failure in myeloma.

MUC1-C drives MYC in multiple myeloma.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines and primary tumor cells are addicted to the MYC oncoprotein for survival. Little is known, however, about how MYC expression is upregulated in MM cells. The mucin 1 C-terminal subunit (MUC1-C) is an oncogenic transmembrane protein that is aberrantly expressed in MM cell lines and primary tumor samples. The present studies demonstrate that targeting MUC1-C with silencing by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 editing or with the GO-203 inhibitor is associated with downregulation of MYC messenger RNA and protein. The results show that MUC1-C occupies the MYC promoter and thereby activates the MYC gene by a ?-catenin/transcription factor 4 (TCF4)-mediated mechanism. In this way, MUC1-C (1) increases ?-catenin occupancy on the MYC promoter, (2) forms a complex with ?-catenin and TCF4, and, in turn, (3) drives MYC transcription. Analysis of MM cells using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction arrays further demonstrated that silencing MUC1-C is associated with downregulation of MYC target genes, including CCND2, hTERT, and GCLC Analysis of microarray data sets further demonstrated that MUC1 levels positively correlate with MYC expression in MM progression and in primary cells from over 800 MM patients. These findings collectively provide convincing evidence that MUC1-C drives MYC expression in MM.

NEDD8 Inhibition Overcomes CKS1B-Induced Drug Resistance by Upregulation of p21 in Multiple Myeloma.

Project description:CKS1B is significantly upregulated in multiple myeloma and associated with poor prognosis. The identification of novel therapies is essential for effective treatment of patients resistant to chemotherapy. The NEDD8 inhibitor MLN4924 selectively targets SCF(Skp2) activation and offers a more specific approach to protein degradation inhibition than total proteasomal inhibition. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether MLN4924 is effective in high CKS1B conditions and identify mechanisms regulating drug potency.Bortezomib and MLN4924 sensitivity was assessed through proliferation, viability, clonogenic potential, and senescence induction in cells overexpressing CKS1B. The mechanism for MLN4924 sensitivity was elucidated by immunoblot analysis of SCF(skp) substrates and confirmed by shRNA knockdown. The clinical relevance of the NEDD8 pathway was examined in gene expression profiles (GEP) derived from healthy people, patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), and multiple myeloma.Cells overexpressing CKS1B were resistant to bortezomib but sensitive to MLN4924. Treatment of CKS1B-overexpressing cells with MLN4924 decreased proliferation, clonogenicity, and induced senescence. MLN4924, but not bortezomib, induced stabilization of p21 and knockdown of p21 resulted in loss of MLN4924 sensitivity. Patients with MGUS and multiple myeloma exhibited increased expression of NEDD8 pathway genes relative to normal plasma cells. Multiple myeloma patients with high NEDD8 expression were linked to bortezomib resistance in clinical trials, and had inferior outcomes.Our data demonstrate that cells with elevated CKS1B expression are resistant to bortezomib but sensitive to MLN4924 and offer a mechanism through the stabilization of p21. These findings provide rationale for targeting the NEDD8 pathway in multiple myeloma patients exhibiting elevated expression of CKS1B. Clin Cancer Res; 21(24); 5532-42. ©2015 AACR.

Proteomic profiling Proteogenomic landscape of multiple myeloma reveals CDK6 upregulation as a targetable resistance mechanism for lenalidomide in multiple myeloma

Project description:Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy of the bone marrow. Despite therapeutic advances in multiple myeloma, it remains incurable and better risk stratification as well as new therapies are therefore highly needed. While genetics and gene expression have been extensively studied leading to new insights in disease biology and improved prognostic models, the proteome of multiple myeloma has not been systematically assessed. Here, we provide a comprehensive multi-omic analysis including deep tandem mass tags (TMT)-based quantitative global (phospho)proteomics, RNA sequencing and nanopore DNA sequencing of 138 primary patient-derived plasma cell malignancy samples, including treatment-naive multiple myeloma cases selected for clinical trials, plasma cell leukemia, and the premalignancy MGUS, as well as healthy controls. We found that the (phospho)proteome of malignant plasma cells is highly deregulated as compared to healthy cells and is both defined by chromosomal alterations and extensive post-transcriptional regulation. A protein signature consisting of 8 proteins was identified that is associated with aggressive disease and highly predictive for outcomes in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Integration with functional genetics and single-cell sequencing revealed generally and genetic subtype-specific deregulated proteins and pathways in plasma cell malignancies that include novel potential targets for (immuno)therapies. Our study provides a unique resource for investigating biology and new therapeutic approaches in multiple myeloma and associated diseases and highlights the broad implications of proteomic studies in cancer.

Proteomic profiling reveals CDK6 upregulation as a targetable resistance mechanism for lenalidomide in multiple myeloma

Project description:The immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) lenalidomide and pomalidomide are highly effective treatments for multiple myeloma. However, virtually all patients eventually relapse due to acquired drug resistance with resistance-causing genetic alterations being found only in a small subset of cases. Here, we performed integrated global quantitative tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses and RNA sequencing in five paired pre-treatment and relapse samples from multiple myeloma patients to investigate non-genetic resistance mechanisms. These analyses revealed a CDK6-governed protein resistance signature that includes myeloma high-risk factors such as TRIP13 and RRM1. Overexpression of CDK6 in multiple myeloma cell lines reduced sensitivity to IMiDs while CDK6 inhibition by palbociclib or CDK6 degradation by proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) is highly synergistic with IMiDs in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, we found upregulation of CDK6 to cause lenalidomide resistance in multiple myeloma that can be overcome by pharmacological intervention.

Characterization of MYC translocations in multiple myeloma cell lines.

Project description:Translocations involving an MYC gene (c >> N >>L) are very late tumor progression events and provide a paradigm for secondary translocations in multiple myeloma. Using a combination of fluorescent in situ hybridization and comparative genomic hybridization arrays (aCGH), we have identified rearrangements of an MYC gene in 40 of 43 independent myeloma cell lines. A majority of MYC translocations involve an Ig locus (IgH > Iglambda >> Igkappa), but the breakpoints only infrequently occur near or within switch regions or V(D)J sequences. Surprisingly, about 40% of MYC translocations do not involve an Ig locus. The MYC translocations mostly are nonreciprocal translocations or insertions, often with the involvement of three chromosomes and sometimes with associated duplication, amplification, inversion, and other associated chromosomal abnormalities. High-density aCGH analyses should facilitate the cloning of MYC breakpoints, enabling the determination of their structures and perhaps elucidating how rearrangements not involving an Ig gene cause dysregulation of an MYC gene.

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.

Proteomic profiling reveals CDK6 upregulation as a targetable resistance mechanism for lenalidomide in multiple myeloma

Project description:Multiple myeloma is a genetically heterogeneous disease of plasma cells. The thalidomide analog lenalidomide is a mainstay in the treatment of multiple myeloma and is used in combination with other drugs such as corticosteroids, chemotherapy and proteasome inhibitors, achieving high remission rates. However, most patients relapse due to acquired resistance of the malignant cells. Genetic analyses have revealed mutations in CRBN, the target of all IMiDs, as a resistance mechanism in 10% of patients, while for the majority of cases, the mechanism of resistance is unknown. Here, we performed integrated global quantitative tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses and RNA sequencing in five paired pre-treatment and relapse samples from multiple myeloma patients. These analyses revealed proteins highly upregulated at relapse, including TRIP13, RRM1 and CDK6, which was not reflected on the RNA expression level. Overexpression of CDK6 in multiple myeloma cell lines reduced sensitivity to lenalidomide and pomalidomide in a kinase-dependent fashion. CDK6 inactivation by palbociclib or a CDK6-specific proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) plus lenalidomide or pomalidomide was highly synergistic. Proteomic analyses in cell lines revealed that CDK6 inhibition reverses a complex protein resistance signature including RRM1 and TRIP13 and in combination with IMiDs promotes metabolic remodeling and c-MYC downregulation . In conclusion, our global proteomic analyses identified CDK6 upregulation as a drug target to overcome lenalidomide resistance in multiple myeloma.

Paradoxical resistance of multiple myeloma to proteasome inhibitors by decreased levels of 19S proteasomal subunits.

Project description:Hallmarks of cancer, including rapid growth and aneuploidy, can result in non-oncogene addiction to the proteostasis network that can be exploited clinically. The defining example is the exquisite sensitivity of multiple myeloma (MM) to 20S proteasome inhibitors, such as carfilzomib. However, MM patients invariably acquire resistance to these drugs. Using a next-generation shRNA platform, we found that proteostasis factors, including chaperones and stress-response regulators, controlled the response to carfilzomib. Paradoxically, 19S proteasome regulator knockdown induced resistance to carfilzomib in MM and non-MM cells. 19S subunit knockdown did not affect the activity of the 20S subunits targeted by carfilzomib nor their inhibition by the drug, suggesting an alternative mechanism, such as the selective accumulation of protective factors. In MM patients, lower 19S levels predicted a diminished response to carfilzomib-based therapies. Together, our findings suggest that an understanding of network rewiring can inform development of new combination therapies to overcome drug resistance.
