Project description:This study profiles chromatin accessibility, gene expresison, transcription factor binding, and three-dimensional DNA-DNA contact changes upon rapid SWI/SNF ATPase inactivation in prostate cancer cells. SWI/SNF ATPases activity was disabled using a novel PROTAC degrader compound targeting the SMARCA2, SMARCA4 and PBRM1 subunits of the SWI/SNF remodeling complex.

Project description:Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), including diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs), bearing lysine-to-methionine mutations in histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27M) are lethal childhood brain cancers. These tumors harbor a global reduction in the transcriptional repressive mark H3K27me3 accompanied by an increase in the transcriptional activation mark H3K27ac. We postulated that H3K27M mutations, in addition to altering H3K27 modifications, reprogram the master chromatin remodeling SWI/SNF complex. The SWI/SNF complex can exist in two main forms termed BAF and PBAF that play central roles in neurodevelopment and cancer. Moreover, BAF antagonizes PRC2, the main enzyme catalyzing H3K27me3. We demonstrate that H3K27M gliomas show increased protein levels of the SWI/SNF complex ATPase subunits SMARCA4 and SMARCA2 and the PBAF component PBRM1. Additionally, knockdown of mutant H3K27M lowered SMARCA4 protein levels. The proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) AU-15330 that simultaneously targets SMARCA4, SMARCA2, and PBRM1 for degradation exhibits cytotoxicity in H3.3K27M but not H3 wild-type cells. AU-15330 lowered chromatin accessibility measured by ATAC-seq at non-promoter regions and reduced global H3K27ac levels. Integrated analysis of gene expression, proteomics, and chromatin accessibility in AU-15330-treated cells demonstrated reduction in levels of FOXO1, a key member of the forkhead family of transcription factors. Moreover, genetic or pharmacologic targeting of FOXO1 resulted in cell death in H3K27M cells. Overall, our results suggest that H3K27M upregulates SMARCA4 levels and combined targeting of SWI/SNF ATPases in H3.3K27M can serve as a potent therapeutic strategy for these deadly childhood brain tumors.

Project description:The SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex, pivotal in transcriptional regulation, has emerged as a significant player in tumorigenesis, unveiling therapeutic targeting prospects in specific malignancies. This investigation accentuates the potential of targeting the SWI/SNF complex in POU2F3-driven Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and POU2AF1-dependent multiple myelomas. Employing functional CRISPR screening and pharmacological validation, we identified a distinct and biased dependency of POU2F3-driven SCLC cells on the SWI/SNF complex. In vivo studies exhibited significant tumor growth inhibition in POU2F3-driven SCLC xenografts with an orally administered SMARCA2/4 PROTAC degrader. Furthermore, the exploration extended to POU2AF1 complex-dependent B-cell malignancies, revealing similar sensitivity to the SWI/SNF ATPase PROTAC degrader, suggesting a shared therapeutic potential in POU2F complex-driven malignancies. These collective findings highlight the SWI/SNF complex as a promising therapeutic target, catalyzing the advancement of innovative and efficacious treatment approaches to address these transcription factor-driven malignancies, addressing a critical medical challenge.

Project description:SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 are mutually-exclusive, core catalytic subunits for the chromatin remodeling SWI/SNF complex. Mutations in SMARCA4 are common in lung adenocarcinoma and have shown synthetic lethality with loss of SMARCA2 loss of function. The purpose of this project is to answer questions related to the in vivo [mouse xenograft] efficacy of A947, a SMARCA2 degrader. The study involves in vitro versus in vivo comparisons of drug activity, in addition to genetic manipulation of the target. Model system: HCC2302 (RRID:CVCL_V636); Model origin: Lung Adenocarcinoma; Perturbation: A947 (VHL-PROTAC-based degrader)

Project description:SWI/SNF ATPase degraders have been shown to be effective in enhancer-driven cancers by functioning to impede oncogenic transcription factor chromatin accessibility. Here we developed AU-24118, a first-in-class, orally bioavailable degrader of SMARCA2/4 and PBRM1. AU-24118 demonstrated tumor regression in a castration resistant model of prostate cancer which was further enhanced in combination with enzalutamide. Prostate cancer cell lines exposed to increasing doses of a SWI/SNF degrader developed SMARCA4 bromodomain mutations and ABCB1 overexpression as acquired mechanisms of resistance. While SMARCA4 mutations provided specific resistance to SWI/SNF degraders, ABCB1 overexpression provided broader resistance to other compounds as well as could be overcome with ABCB1 inhibition.
