Allosteric inhibition of SHP2 uncovers aberrant TLR7 trafficking in aggravating psoriasis

ABSTRACT: Psoriasis is a complex chronic inflammatory skin disease with unclear molecular mechanisms. We found that the Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) was highly expressed in both psoriatic patients and imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like mice. Also, the SHP2 allosteric inhibitor SHP099 reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in PBMCs taken from psoriatic patients. Consistently, SHP099 significantly ameliorated IMQ-triggered skin inflammation in mice. Single-cell RNA sequencing of murine skin demonstrated that SHP2 inhibition impaired skin inflammation in myeloid cells, especially macrophages. Furthermore, IMQ-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation was significantly alleviated in myeloid cells (monocytes, mature macrophages and granulocytes)- but not dendritic cells-conditional SHP2 knockout mice. Mechanistically, SHP2 promoted the trafficking of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) from the Golgi to the endosome in macrophages by dephosphorylating TLR7 at Tyr1024, boosting the ubiquitination of TLR7 and NF-κB-mediated skin inflammation. Importantly, Tlr7 point-mutant knock-in mice showed an attenuated psoriasis-like phenotype compared to wild-type littermates following IMQ treatment. Collectively, our findings identify SHP2 as a novel regulator of psoriasis and suggest that SHP2 inhibition may be a promising therapeutic approach for psoriatic patients.

SHP2 allosteric inhibitor TK-453 alleviates psoriasis-like skin inflammation in mice via inhibition of IL-23/Th17 axis.

Project description:SHP2 is the first oncogenic tyrosine phosphatase encoded by PTPN11, which plays a significant regulatory role in cancer and inflammation-related diseases. Although SHP2 allosteric inhibitors have been used in phase I/II clinical trials for solid tumors, whether SHP2 inhibition alleviates psoriasis remains unclear. Here we expressed and purified SHP2 related proteins, and established an enzyme activity screening system for different conformations of SHP2. We launched an iterative medicinal chemistry program and identified the lead compound, TK-453. Importantly, TK-453 possessed stronger affinity with SHP2 than SHP099, evidenced by the cocrystal structure of SHP2/TK-453, revealing that the additional aryl-S-aryl bridge in TK-453 induces a 1.8 Å shift of the dichlorophenyl ring and an approximate 20° deviation of the pyrazine ring plane relative to SHP099. Furthermore, TK-453 significantly ameliorated imiquimod-triggered skin inflammation in mice via inhibition of the IL-23/Th17 axis, proving that SHP2 is a potential therapeutic target for psoriasis.

Mechanism of activating mutations and allosteric drug inhibition of the phosphatase SHP2.

Project description:Protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 functions as a key regulator of cell cycle control, and activating mutations cause several cancers. Here, we dissect the energy landscape of wild-type SHP2 and the oncogenic mutation E76K. NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography reveal that wild-type SHP2 exchanges between closed, inactive and open, active conformations. E76K mutation shifts this equilibrium toward the open state. The previously unknown open conformation is characterized, including the active-site WPD loop in the inward and outward conformations. Binding of the allosteric inhibitor SHP099 to E76K mutant, despite much weaker, results in an identical structure as the wild-type complex. A conformational selection to the closed state reduces drug affinity which, combined with E76K's much higher activity, demands significantly greater SHP099 concentrations to restore wild-type activity levels. The differences in structural ensembles and drug-binding kinetics of cancer-associated SHP2 forms may stimulate innovative ideas for developing more potent inhibitors for activated SHP2 mutants.

Targeting a cryptic allosteric site for selective inhibition of the oncogenic protein tyrosine phosphatase Shp2.

Project description:Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) have been the subject of considerable pharmaceutical-design efforts because of the ubiquitous connections between misregulation of PTP activity and human disease. PTP-inhibitor discovery has been hampered, however, by the difficulty in identifying cell-permeable compounds that can selectively target PTP active sites, and no PTP inhibitors have progressed to the clinic. The identification of allosteric sites on target PTPs therefore represents a potentially attractive solution to the druggability problem of PTPs. Here we report that the oncogenic PTP Shp2 contains an allosteric-inhibition site that renders the enzyme sensitive to potent and selective inhibition by cell-permeable biarsenical compounds. Because Shp2 contains no canonical tetracysteine biarsenical-binding motif, the enzyme's inhibitor-binding site is not readily predictable from its primary or three-dimensional structure. Intriguingly, however, Shp2's PTP domain does contain a cysteine residue (C333) at a position that is removed from the active site and is occupied by proline in other classical PTPs. We show that Shp2's unusual cysteine residue constitutes part of a Shp2-specific allosteric-inhibition site, and that Shp2's sensitivity to biarsenicals is dependent on the presence of the naturally occurring C333. The determinative role of this residue in conferring inhibitor sensitivity is surprising because C333's side chain is inaccessible to solvent in Shp2 crystal structures. The discovery of this cryptic Shp2 allosteric site may provide a means for targeting Shp2 activity with high specificity and suggests that buried-yet-targetable allosteric sites could be similarly uncovered in other protein families.

Structural reorganization of SHP2 by oncogenic mutations and implications for oncoprotein resistance to allosteric inhibition.

Project description:Activating mutations in PTPN11, encoding the cytosolic protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2, result in developmental disorders and act as oncogenic drivers in patients with hematologic cancers. The allosteric inhibitor SHP099 stabilizes the wild-type SHP2 enzyme in an autoinhibited conformation that is itself destabilized by oncogenic mutations. Here, we report the impact of the highly activated and most frequently observed mutation, E76K, on the structure of SHP2, and investigate the effect of E76K and other oncogenic mutations on allosteric inhibition by SHP099. SHP2E76K adopts an open conformation but can be restored to the closed, autoinhibited conformation, near-identical to the unoccupied wild-type enzyme, when complexed with SHP099. SHP099 inhibitory activity against oncogenic SHP2 variants in vitro and in cells scales inversely with the activating strength of the mutation, indicating that either oncoselective or vastly more potent inhibitors will be necessary to suppress oncogenic signaling by the most strongly activating SHP2 mutations in cancer.

Resistance to allosteric SHP2 inhibition in FGFR-driven cancers through rapid feedback activation of FGFR.

Project description:SHP2 mediates RAS activation downstream of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and cancer cell lines dependent on RTKs are in general dependent on SHP2. Profiling of the allosteric SHP2 inhibitor SHP099 across cancer cell lines harboring various RTK dependencies reveals that FGFR-dependent cells are often insensitive to SHP099 when compared to EGFR-dependent cells. We find that FGFR-driven cells depend on SHP2 but exhibit resistance to SHP2 inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. Treatment of such models with SHP2 inhibitors results in an initial decrease in phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK) levels, however p-ERK levels rapidly rebound within two hours. This p-ERK rebound is blocked by FGFR inhibitors or high doses of SHP2 inhibitors. Mechanistically, compared with EGFR-driven cells, FGFR-driven cells tend to express high levels of RTK negative regulators such as the SPRY family proteins, which are rapidly downregulated upon ERK inhibition. Moreover, over-expression of SPRY4 in FGFR-driven cells prevents MAPK pathway reactivation and sensitizes them to SHP2 inhibitors. We also identified two novel combination approaches to enhance the efficacy of SHP2 inhibitors, either with a distinct site 2 allosteric SHP2 inhibitor or with a RAS-SOS1 interaction inhibitor. Our findings suggest the rapid FGFR feedback activation following initial pathway inhibition by SHP2 inhibitors may promote the open conformation of SHP2 and lead to resistance to SHP2 inhibitors. These findings may assist to refine patient selection and predict resistance mechanisms in the clinical development of SHP2 inhibitors and to suggest strategies for discovering SHP2 inhibitors that are more effective against upstream feedback activation.

Off-target autophagy inhibition by SHP2 allosteric inhibitors contributes to their anti-tumor activity in RAS-driven cancers.

Project description:Aberrant activation of RAS-MAPK signaling is common in cancer, and efforts to inhibit pathway components have yielded drugs with promising clinical activities. Unfortunately, treatment-provoked adaptive resistance mechanisms inevitably develop, limiting their therapeutic potential. As a central node essential for receptor tyrosine kinase mediated RAS activation, SHP2 has emerged as an attractive cancer target. Consequently, many SHP2 allosteric inhibitors are now in clinical testing. Here we discovered a previously unrecognized off-target effect associated with SHP2 allosteric inhibitors. We found that these inhibitors accumulate in the lysosome and block autophagic flux in a SHP2-independent manner. We showed that off-target autophagy inhibition by SHP2 allosteric inhibitors contributes to their anti-tumor activity. We also demonstrated that SHP2 allosteric inhibitors harboring this off-target activity not only suppress oncogenic RAS signaling but also overcome drug resistance such as MAPK rebound and protective autophagy in response to RAS-MAPK pathway blockage. Finally, we exemplified a therapeutic framework that harnesses both the on- and off-target activities of SHP2 allosteric inhibitors for improved treatment of mutant RAS driven and drug resistant malignancies such as pancreatic and colorectal cancers. Brief Summary: SHP2 allosteric inhibitors elicit off-target autophagy blockade that can be exploited for improved treatment of RAS-driven and drug-resistant cancers.

Phosphorylation of SHP2 at Tyr62 Enables Acquired Resistance to SHP2 Allosteric Inhibitors in FLT3-ITD-Driven AML.

Project description:The protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 is crucial for oncogenic transformation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells expressing mutated receptor tyrosine kinases. SHP2 is required for full RAS-ERK activation to promote cell proliferation and survival programs. Allosteric SHP2 inhibitors act by stabilizing SHP2 in its autoinhibited conformation and are currently being tested in clinical trials for tumors with overactivation of the RAS/ERK pathway, alone and in various drug combinations. In this study, we established cells with acquired resistance to the allosteric SHP2 inhibitor SHP099 from two FLT3-ITD (internal tandem duplication)-positive AML cell lines. Label-free and isobaric labeling quantitative mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics of these resistant models demonstrated that AML cells can restore phosphorylated ERK (pERK) in the presence of SHP099, thus developing adaptive resistance. Mechanistically, SHP2 inhibition induced tyrosine phosphorylation and feedback-driven activation of the FLT3 receptor, which in turn phosphorylated SHP2 on tyrosine 62. This phosphorylation stabilized SHP2 in its open conformation, preventing SHP099 binding and conferring resistance. Combinatorial inhibition of SHP2 and MEK or FLT3 prevented pERK rebound and resistant cell growth. The same mechanism was observed in a FLT3-mutated B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line and in the inv(16)/KitD816Y AML mouse model, but allosteric inhibition of Shp2 did not impair the clonogenic ability of normal bone marrow progenitors. Together, these results support the future use of SHP2 inhibitor combinations for clinical applications.SignificanceThese findings suggest that combined inhibition of SHP2 and FLT3 effectively treat FLT3-ITD-positive AML, highlighting the need for development of more potent SHP2 inhibitors and combination therapies for clinical applications.

An allosteric interaction controls the activation mechanism of SHP2 tyrosine phosphatase.

Project description:SHP2 is a protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) involved in multiple signaling pathways. Mutations of SHP2 can result in Noonan syndrome or pediatric malignancies. Inhibition of wild-type SHP2 represents a novel strategy against several cancers. SHP2 is activated by binding of a phosphopeptide to the N-SH2 domain of SHP2, thereby favoring dissociation of the N-SH2 domain and exposing the active site on the PTP domain. The conformational transitions controlling ligand affinity and PTP dissociation remain poorly understood. Using molecular simulations, we revealed an allosteric interaction restraining the N-SH2 domain into a SHP2-activating and a stabilizing state. Only ligands selecting for the activating N-SH2 conformation, depending on ligand sequence and binding mode, are effective activators. We validate the model of SHP2 activation by rationalizing modified basal activity and responsiveness to ligand stimulation of several N-SH2 variants. This study provides mechanistic insight into SHP2 activation and may open routes for SHP2 regulation.
