Pharmacologic inhibition of STAT5 in AML

ABSTRACT: The transcription factors STAT5A and STAT5B are essential downstream mediators of many tyrosine kinases, particularly in hematopoietic cancers. As such, STAT5 is activated by FLT3-ITD, which is a constitutively active tyrosine kinase driving the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Since STAT5 is a critical mediator of diverse malignant properties of AML cells, direct targeting of STAT5 function is of significant clinical value. Here, we describe the novel small molecular weight inhibitor AC-4-130 that directly binds to the phosphotyrosine (pY)-binding pocket of the STAT5 SH2 domain, thereby disrupting STAT5 activation, dimerization, nuclear translocation, and STAT5-dependent induction of gene transcription. AC-4-130 substantially impaired the proliferation and clonogenic growth of human AML cell lines and primary FLT3-ITD+ AML patient cells in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, AC-4-130 synergistically increased the cytotoxicity of the JAK1/2 inhibitor Ruxolitinib and the p300/pCAF inhibitor Garcinol. In summary, we report the development and preclinical evaluation of a novel, potent STAT5 SH2 domain inhibitor that can efficiently block pathological levels of STAT5 activity in AML. The synergistic effects of AC-4-130 tyrosine kinase inhibitors as well as emerging treatment strategies provide new opportunities for combinatorial treatment of leukemia and potentially other cancers.

FLT3 inhibition upregulates HDAC8 via FOXO to inactivate p53 and promote maintenance of FLT3-ITD+ acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations within the FMS-like receptor tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) can be found in up to 25~30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and confer a poor prognosis. Although FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown clinical responses, the overall outcome of FLT3-ITD+ AML patients remains poor, and most of them would relapse very shortly. TKIs can not eliminate primitive FLT3-ITD+ AML cells, which are potential sources of relapse. Therefore, elucidating the mechanisms underlying FLT3-ITD+ AML maintenance and drug resistance is essential to develop novel, effective treatment strategies. Here, we demonstrate that FLT3 inhibition induces histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) upregulation through FOXO1 and FOXO3-mediated transactivation in FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Upregulated HDAC8 deacetylates and inactivates p53, leading to leukemia maintenance and drug resistance upon TKIs treatment. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of HDAC8 re-activates p53, abrogates leukemia maintenance and significantly enhances TKI-mediated elimination of FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Importantly, in FLT3-ITD+ AML patient-derived xenograft models, the combination of FLT3 TKI (AC220) with a HDAC8 inhibitor (22d) significantly inhibits leukemia progression and effectively reduces primitive FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Moreover, we extend these findings to an AML subtype harboring another tyrosine kinase activating mutation. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that HDAC8 upregulation as an important mechanism to resist TKIs and promote leukemia maintenance, and suggests that combining HDAC8 inhibition with TKI treatment could be a promising strategy to treat FLT3-ITD+ AML and other tyrosine kinase mutation-harboring leukemias.

GRP94 rewires and buffers the FLT3-ITD signaling network and promotes survival of acute myeloid leukemic stem cells

Project description:Internal tandem duplications in the tyrosine kinase receptor FLT3 (FLT3-ITD) are among the most common lesions in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and there exists a need for new forms of treatment. Using ex vivo drug sensitivity screening, we found that FLT3-ITD+ patient cells are particularly sensitive to HSP90 inhibitors. While it is well known that HSP90 is important for FLT3-ITD stability, we found that HSP90 family members play a much more complex role in FLT3-ITD signaling than previously appreciated. First, we found that FLT3-ITD activates the unfolded protein response (UPR), leading to increased expression of GRP94/HSP90B1. GRP94 rewires FLT3-ITD signaling by binding and retaining FLT3-ITD in the ER, where it aberrantly activates downstream signaling pathways. Second, HSP90 family proteins protect FLT3-ITD+ AML cells against apoptosis by alleviating proteotoxic stress, and treatment with HSP90 inhibitors results in proteotoxic overload that triggers UPR-induced apoptosis. Importantly, leukemic stem cells are strongly dependent upon HSP90 for their survival, and the HSP90 inhibitor ganetespib causes leukemic stem cell exhaustion in mouse PDX models. Taken together, our study reveals a molecular basis for HSP90 addiction of FLT3-ITD+ AML cells and provides a rationale for including HSP90 inhibitors in the treatment regime for FLT3-ITD+ AML.

Phosphoproteome Analysis Reveals Differential Mode of Action of Sorafenib in Wildtype and Mutated FLT3 AML Cells

Project description:Constitutively activating internal tandem duplication (ITD) alterations of the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 (Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3) are common in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and classifies FLT3 as an attractive therapeutic target. So far, application of FLT3 small molecule inhibitors such as Sorafenib has resulted only in partial and transient clinical responses in FLT3-ITD+ patients. Only recently, a prolonged event-free survival has been observed in AML patients who were treated with Sorafenib in addition to standard therapy. Here, we studied the Sorafenib effect on proliferation in a panel of 13 FLT3-ITD- and FLT3-ITD+ AML cell lines. Sorafenib IC50 values ranged from 0.001 to 5.6 µM, whereas FLT3-ITD+ cells (MOLM-13, MV4;11) were found more sensitive to Sorafenib than FLT3-ITD- cells. However, we identified two FLT3-ITD- cell lines (MONO-MAC-1 and OCI-AML-2) which were also Sorafenib sensitive. Phosphoproteome analyses revealed that the affected pathways differed in Sorafenib sensitive FLT3-ITD- and FLT3-ITD+ cells. In MV4;11 cells Sorafenib suppressed mTOR signalling by inhibiting direct inhibition of FLT3. In MONO-MAC-1 cells Sorafenib inhibited the MEK/ERK pathway by inhibition of the RET tyrosine kinase. These data suggest that the FLT3 status in AML patients might not be the only predictive factor for a response to Sorafenib.

PRMT1-mediated FLT3 arginine methylation is required for maintenance of FLT3-ITD+ Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:The presence of FLT3-ITD mutations in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with poor clinical outcome. FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), although effective in kinase ablation, do not eliminate FLT3-ITD+ leukemia stem cells (LSCs) which are potential sources of disease relapse, prompting us to ask whether FLT3-ITD protein regulates the AML LSCs survival through a kinase-independent mechanism. Here, we show that expression of PRMT1, the primary type I arginine methyltransferase, significantly increases in LSC-enriched CD34+CD38- populations relative to normal counterparts. Genetic PRMT1 depletion blocked AML CD34+ cell survival, and had more potent effects in AML cells from patients harboring FLT3-ITD. Our genome wide analysis of gene expression and PRMT1 conditional KO mouse study confirmed that PRMT1 preferentially cooperates with FLT3-ITD contributing to AML cell maintenance. Mechanistically, PRMT1 catalyzed FLT3-ITD protein methylation at arginines 972/973, and PRMT1 promoted leukemia cell growth in a FLT3 methylation-dependent manner. Moreover, effects of FLT3-ITD methylation in AML cells were in part due to crosstalk with FLT3-ITD phosphorylation at tyrosine 969 (Y969). Importantly, FLT3 methylation persisted in FLT3-ITD+ AML cells following TKI (AC220) treatment, indicating that methylation occurs independently of kinase activity. Finally, in both patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and murine AML models, combined administration of AC220 with a type I PRMT inhibitor (MS023) enhanced elimination of FLT3-ITD+ AML relative to AC220 treatment alone. Our study demonstrates that PRMT1-mediated FLT3 methylation promotes LSC activity and suggests that combining PRMT1 inhibition with FLT3 TKI treatment could be a promising approach to selectively target FLT3-ITD+ LSCs.

Alkynyl nicotinamides with antileukemic activity to treat poor prognosis AM

Project description:FLT3 activating mutations cause myeloproliferative neoplasms by deregulating hematopoietic progenitor cell growth, and acute myeloid leukemia is on the rise. Investigational drugs targeting mutant FLT3, including Quizartinib and Crenolanib, develop inherent and acquired resistance to FLT3 targeted therapy. FLT3 inhibitor resistance in AML is dependent on co-occurring mutations, parallel survival pathways, and/or subsequent FLT3-ITD mutations. Despite the high prevalence of FLT3 mutations and their clinical significance in AML, there are few targeted therapeutic options. We identified two novel naphthyridine-based FLT3 inhibitors (HSN608 and HSN748) that specifically target FLT3-ITD at sub-nanomolar concentrations and are effective against drug-resistant secondary mutations. In the current study, we evaluated these compounds antileukemic activity against FLT3-ITD and gatekeeper mutations in drug-resistant AML, relapsed/refractory AMLs with FLT3 mutations, and in vivo mouse models with combinations of epigenetic mutations TET2 with FLT3-ITD, and AML patients PDX. In these model systems, we demonstrate that HSN748 outperforms the FDA-approved FLT3 inhibitor Gilteritinib in terms of inhibitory activity against FLT3-ITD.

Phosphoproteomic characterization of primary AML samples and relevance for response towards FLT3-inhibitors

Project description:Kinase hyperactivity is a common driver of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and serves as a therapeutic target. The most frequent genetic aberration leading to hyperactive kinase signaling and poor prognosis is internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the FMS-tyrosine-like Kinase 3-gene (FLT3). FLT3-ITD induces ligand independent activation of FLT3 and downstream pathways leading to proliferation, decreased apoptosis and partial differentiation block. Combined with chemotherapy, FLT3-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (FLT3-TKI) midostaurin improves overall survival (OS) of newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML patients, whereas single agent gilteritinib proved superior to chemotherapy in relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated AML patients . As the primary targets of currently approved FLT3-TKIs are tyrosine (Y) kinases, we hypothesized that direct evaluation of tyrosine phosphorylation status could reveal pY phosphorylation profiles associated with FLT3-TKI response. Therefore, we used label-free pTyr-based phosphoproteomics in 35 primary AML samples (18 FLT3-WT, 17 FLT3-ITD), to identify differentially phosphorylated proteins underlying response to the FLT3-TKIs gilteritinib and midostaurin. We identified a total of 3024 unique phosphosites (median 1299 per sample, range 286 – 1612, pS:pT:pY 11.9%:9.5%:78.6%). Due to low number of identified phosphosites, we excluded two samples from further analyses. On the remaining 33 samples, we additionally performed IMAC global phosphoproteomics and on 17 samples protein expression analysis.

Global phosphoproteome analysis of human bone marrow reveals predictive phosphorylation markers for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia with quizartinib

Project description:Treatment with inhibitors of the receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 are currently studied as promising therapies in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, only a subset of patients benefit from these treatments and the presence of activating mutations within FLT3 can predict response to a certain extent only. AC220 (quizartinib) is an example of a potent FLT3 inhibitor1 that was studied in a recent phase II open-label study in patients with relapsed/refractory AML. The complete remission rate (including CRp and CRi) in FLT3-ITD-positive patients was 54% (50/92) and the corresponding partial remission rate (PR) was 17% (16/92)2 Thus, although the FLT3-ITD mutation status correlates with response, the error rate in stratification of patients into responders and non-responders is high, as still 29% of the FLT3-ITD-positive patients failed to respond. Exclusion of FLT3-ITD-negative patients from AC220 treatment also seems critical, as the total response rate (CRþPR) in FLT3-ITD-negative patients is substantially lower (41%, 17/41). As AC220 is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, we hypothesized that investigating phosphorylation-based signaling on a system-wide scale in AML cells allows for identification of markers enabling more accurate prediction of therapy response as compared to commonly used genetic markers. Hence, we applied quantitative mass spectrometry to decipher a multivariate phosphorylation site marker, which we refer to as phosphosignature, in patient-derived AML blasts that might be useful as predictive biomarkers for AC220 treatment.

SYK Is a Critical Regulator of FLT3 In Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Cooperative dependencies between mutant oncoproteins and wild-type proteins are critical in cancer pathogenesis and therapy resistance. Although spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) has been implicated in hematologic malignancies, it is rarely mutated. We used kinase activity profiling to identify collaborators of SYK in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and determined that FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is transactivated by SYK via direct binding. Highly activated SYK is predominantly found in FLT3-ITD positive AML and cooperates with FLT3-ITD to activate MYC transcriptional programs. FLT3-ITD AML cells are more vulnerable to SYK suppression than FLT3 wild-type counterparts. In a FLT3-ITD in vivo model, SYK is indispensable for myeloproliferative disease (MPD) development, and SYK overexpression promotes overt transformation to AML and resistance to FLT3-ITD-targeted therapy.

Effect of Gilteritinib, Metformin and Combination treatments on gene expression in MOLM13-RES cells

Project description:Here, we report that Metformin shows a striking synergistic effect with Gilteritinib in suppressing cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in multiple FLT3-ITD AML cell lines, including FLT3 TKI-resistant MOLM13 cells. Mechanistically, the combinational treatment synergistically suppresses Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) expression and phosphorylation of FLT3/STAT5/ERK/mTOR in MOLM13-RES cells. Intriguingly, our retrospective clinical analysis has unveiled a significant correlation between Metformin intake and improved survival rates among FLT3-ITD AML patients. Collectively, the cotreatment of Metformin and Gilteritinib shows robustly enhanced therapeutic efficacy in treating FLT3-mutated AML by synergistically suppressing PLK1 expression and phosphorylation of FLT3/STAT5/ERK/mTOR.

Antileukemic activity of the VPS34-IN1 inhibitor in acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. Vacuolar protein sorting 34 (VPS34) is a member of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase lipid kinase family that controls the canonical autophagy pathway and vesicular trafficking. Using a recently developed specific inhibitor (VPS34-IN1), we found that a VPS34 block induces apoptosis in AML cells but not in normal CD34+ hematopoietic cells. Complete and acute inhibition of VPS34 was required for the anti-leukemic activity of VPS34-IN1. This inhibitor also has pleiotropic effects against various cellular functions related to class III PI3K in AML cells that may explain their survival impairment. VPS34-IN1 inhibits basal and L-asparaginase-induced autophagy in AML cells. A synergistic cell death activity of this drug was also demonstrated. VPS34-IN1 was additionally found to impair vesicular trafficking and mTORC1 signaling. From an unbiased approach based on phosphoproteomic analysis, we identified that VPS34-IN1 specifically inhibits STAT5 phosphorylation downstream of FLT3-ITD signaling in AML. The identification of the mechanisms controlling FLT3-ITD signaling by VPS34 represents an important insight into the oncogenesis of AML and could lead to new therapeutic strategies.
