Project description:Here we report the discovery of ABBV-744, a first in class, highly potent and selective inhibitor of BET family BD2 domains with drug like properties. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that ABBV-744 displaced BRD4 from AR-containing super enhancers and elicited potent inhibition of AR-dependent transcription without causing broad transcription alterations associated with exposure to pan BET inhibitors.

Project description:Dual bromodomain BET inhibitors (DbBi) that bind with similar affinities to the first and second bromodomains across BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRDt only displayed modest activity as monotherapy in clinical trials. Thrombocytopenia, closely followed by symptoms characteristic of GI toxicity, have presented as dose limiting adverse events that may prevented escalation to higher dose levels for more robust efficacy. ABBV-744 is a highly selective inhibitor for the second bromodomain (BD2) of the four BET family proteins. In contrast to the broad antiproliferative activities observed with DbBi, ABBV-744 displayed significant antiproliferative activities largely but not exclusively in cancer cell lines derived from AML and androgen receptor (AR) positive prostate cancer. Studies in AML xenograft models demonstrated anti-tumor efficacy for ABBV-744 that was comparable to the pan-BET inhibitor ABBV-075 but with improved tolerability. Enhanced anti-tumor efficacy was also observed with the combination of ABBV-744 and the Bcl-2 inhibitor, venetoclax (ABT-199) compared to monotherapies of either agent alone. These results collectively support the clinical evaluation of ABBV-744 in AML (Clinical Trials.gov identifier: NCT03360006).

Project description:We comprehensively analyzed the differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) underlying the antitumor functions of BET inhibitors of human HCC cells using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). The pan-BET inhibitor ABBV-075 and BD2 specific inhibitor ABBV-744 attenuates the IFNγ-induced inflammatory response. In addition, BD2 inhibitors were predominantly effective in inflammatory response.

Project description:Competitive inhibitors of acetyl-lysine binding to the bromodomains of the BET (bromodomain and extra terminal) family are being developed for the treatment of solid and heme malignancies. BET family member BRD4 function at enhancers/super-enhancers has been shown to sustain signal-dependent or pathogenic gene expression programs. Here we tested the hypothesis that the transcription factor drivers of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) clinical progression, including the Androgen Receptor (AR), are critically dependent on BRD4 and thus represent a sensitive solid tumor indication for the BET inhibitor ABBV-075. DHT-stimulated transcription of AR target genes was inhibited by ABBV-075 without significant effect on AR protein expression. Further, ABBV-075 disrupted DHT-stimulated recruitment of BET family member BRD4 to gene regulatory regions co-occupied by AR, including the well-established PSA and TMPRSS2 enhancers. Persistent BET inhibition disrupted the composition and function of AR occupied enhancers as measured by a reduction in AR and H3K27Ac ChIP signal and inhibition of eRNA transcription. ABBV-075 displayed potent anti-proliferative activity in multiple models of resistance to second generation anti-androgens and inhibited the activity of AR-V7 and the AR LBD gain-of-function mutations, F877L and L702H. ABBV-075 was also a potent inhibitor of MYC and the TMPRSS2-ETS fusion protein, important parallel transcription factor drivers of CRPC.

Project description:The evolutionarily conserved BET bromodomain family contain a distinctive tandem bromodomain structure that enables their chromatin binding to facilitate transcription. Whilst first-in-class drugsthat equally inhibit both bromodomains have shown pre-clinicaland clinical efficacy in a range of malignant and inflammatory pathologies, the functional contribution of the first (BD1) and second (BD2) bromodomains to these pathologies remains largely unknown. Here we haveexploited detailedstructuralinsights and our extensivemedicinal chemistry capabilities to develop novel compounds that are exquisitely selectivefor either BD1 or BD2 of the BET proteins. Using thesewell characterised domain-specific inhibitors we show that BD1 is required by all BET proteins to associate with chromatin and maintain established malignant transcriptional programs.Therefore, targeting BD1 alone phenocopies the therapeutic effects of current non-selective BET inhibitorsin models of cancer. Whilst steady state gene expression primarily requires BD1,we find that the rapid increase of gene expression effectedby a wide range of inflammatory stimuli requiresboth BD1 and BD2. Moreover, although BRD4 is the principal member required for the maintenance of established gene expression, efficient gene induction also requires BRD2 and BRD3. Selective inhibition of BD2 is effective in perturbing the recruitment of all the BET proteins for stimulated gene expression and consequently small molecule inhibitors of BD2 amelioratethe immunoinflammatory end organ damage seen in models of inflammatory arthritis, psoriasis and hepatitis. Together,these data provide novel biological and functional insights into this family of key transcriptional regulators. Importantly, they also help refine the future therapeutic approach when targeting the BET proteinsin distinct pathologies such as cancer and immuno-inflammation.

Project description:BET Bromodomain inhibition is an epigenetic therapy that is being assessed as an anti-cancer strategy. Herein, we report the structure and activity of RG6146, a novel second-generation clinical grade BET inhibitor that was derived by optimization of the prototypical tool compound JQ1. We demonstrate that RG6146 elicits potent anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in multiple pre-clinical models of hematologic malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM) and B-cell lymphoma. We show that the anti-tumor effects of RG6146 correlated with robust modulation of oncogenic transcription that results in suppression of oncogenic transcription factors, such as MYC, as well as direct activation of the intrinsic apoptotic cascade. Subcutaneous or intraperitoneal administration of RG6146 to tumor-bearing mice was well tolerated and led to pronounced anti-tumor responses in both syngeneic and xenograft tumor models, respectively. Finally, we investigated the ability for RG6146 to augment the activity of other targeted therapies in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating clear combination activity with BCL-2 inhibitor Venetoclax and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade. Taken together, our data demonstrates the therapeutic potential of novel pan-BET inhibitor RG6146 in the treatment of hematologic malignancies and highlights multiple mechanism-based combination strategies to enhance anti-tumor activity.

Project description:To determine mechanisms of synergy between EZH2 and BRD4-NUT, we treated NUT carcinoma cell lines with EZH2 inhibitor, tazemetostat, and/or BET bromodomain inhibitors (ABBV075 pan-BET inhibitor or ABBV744 BD2-selective inhibitor). We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 2 different NUT carcinoma cell lines at two time points, 6h and 96h.
