Increased HDAC Activity and c-MYC Expression Mediate Acquired Resistance to WEE1 Inhibition in Acute Leukemia

ABSTRACT: WEE1 is a cell cycle and DNA damage response kinase that is emerging as a therapeutic target for cancer. AZD1775 is a small molecule inhibitor of WEE1, currently in early phase clinical trials as a single agent and in combination with more conventional anti-neoplastic agents. As resistance to kinase inhibitors is frequent, we sought to identify mechanisms of resistance to WEE1 inhibition in acute leukemia. We found that AZD1775 resistant cell lines are dependent upon increased HDAC activity for their survival, in part due to increased KDM5A activity. In addition, gene expression analyses demonstrate HDAC dependent increase in MYC expression and c-MYC activity in AZD1775 treated resistant cells. Overexpression of c-MYC confers resistance to AZD1775 in cell lines with low base line expression. Pharmacologic inhibition of BRD4, and thereby c-MYC, partially abrogated resistance to AZD1775. Thus, acquired resistance to WEE1 inhibition may be reversed by HDAC or BRD4 inhibition in leukemia cells.

Development and Characterization of a Wee1 Kinase Degrader

Project description:The G1/S cell-cycle checkpoint is frequently dysregulated in cancer, leaving cancer cells particularly reliant on a functional G2/M checkpoint to prevent excessive DNA damage. Inhibiting regulators of the G2/M checkpoint can therefore drive cancer cells into premature mitosis, ultimately causing cell death by mitotic catastrophe. One such regulator is Wee1, a nuclear tyrosine kinase that delays mitotic entry by phosphorylating CDK1 at Tyr15. Previous drug development efforts targeting Wee1 resulted in the clinical-grade inhibitor, AZD1775. However, AZD1775 is burdened by dose- limiting adverse events, and has off-target PLK1 activity. In an attempt to overcome these limitations, we designed small molecule degraders of Wee1 by conjugating AZD1775 to the cereblon (CRBN)- binding ligand, pomalidomide, as informed by molecular docking. The resulting lead compound, ZNL- 02-096, degrades Wee1 while sparing PLK1, induces G2/M phase accumulation at up to 10-fold lower concentrations than AZD1775, and potently synergizes with Olaparib in ovarian cancer cell lines. We demonstrate that ZNL-02-096 has CRBN-dependent pharmacology that is distinct from the conventional catalytic inhibitor, AZD1775, which justifies further evaluation of selective Wee1 degraders.

Synthetic lethal screen reveals selective vulnerability of ATRX-mutant cancers to WEE1 inhibition

Project description:we performed a genome-wide synthetic lethal screen, using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, to identify potential therapeutic targets specific for ATRX-mutated cancers. In isogenic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines engineered for ATRX loss, we identified 58 genes, including the checkpoint kinase WEE1, uniquely required for the cell growth of ATRX null cells. Treatment with the WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 robustly inhibited the growth of several ATRX-deficient HCC cell lines in vitro, as well as xenografts in vivo. The increased sensitivity to the WEE1 inhibitor was caused by accumulated DNA damage induced apoptosis. AZD1775 also selectively inhibited the proliferation of patient-derived primary cell lines from gliomas with naturally occurring ATRX mutations, indicating that the synthetic lethal relationship between WEE1 and ATRX could be exploited in a broader spectrum of human tumors. As WEE1 inhibitors have been investigated in several phase II clinical trials, our discovery provides the basis for an easily clinically testable therapeutic strategy specific for cancers deficient in ATRX.
