Chemical inhibition of ENL/AF9 YEATS domains in acute leukemia [RNA-Seq]


ABSTRACT: Transcriptional co-regulators, which mediate chromatin-dependent transcriptional signaling, represent tractable targets to modulate tumorigenic gene expression programs with small molecules. Genetic loss-of-function studies have recently implicated the transcriptional co-activator, ENL, as a selective requirement for the survival of acute leukemia – particularly those driven by multiple lineage leukemia (MLL)-fusion oncogenes. The YEATS domain of ENL, which binds to chromatin by interacting with acyl-lysine side chains, is critical for its pathogenic function in acute leukemiaand highlighted an essential role for its chromatin reader YEATS domain. Motivated by these recent discoveries, we executed a screen of nearly 300,000 small molecules to identify chromatin-competitiveand identified an amido-imidazopyridine inhibitors of the ENL YEATS domain (IC50 = 7 µM). Leveraging a SuFEx-based high-throughput approach to Optimizing an amido-imidazopyridine scaffold with highly parallelized, SuFEx-based medicinal chemistry optimization, we discovered SR-0813 (IC50 = 25 nM), a potent and selective ENL/AF9 YEATS domain inhibitor that exclusively inhibits the growth of ENL-dependent leukemia cell lines. Armed with this tool and a first-in-class ENL PROTAC, SR-1114, we detailed the response of AML cells to pharmacological ENL disruption for the first time. Most notably, displacement of In AML cells, SR-0813 evicts ENL from chromatin, by SR-0813 preferentially suppresseselicited a strikingly selective suppression of ENL target genes, including HOXA9/10, MYB, MYC and a number of other leukemia proto-oncogenes. Our study reproduces a number of key observations previously made by CRISPR/Cas9 loss of function and dTAG-mediated degradation, and therefore, both reinforces ENL as an emerging leukemia target and validates SR-0813 as a high-quality chemical probe.
