CDK7 controls E2F- and MYC-driven proliferative and metabolic vulnerabilities in multiple myeloma

ABSTRACT: Therapeutic targeting of CDK7 has proven beneficial in pre-clinical studies, yet the off-target effects of currently available CDK7 inhibitors make it difficult to pinpoint the exact mechanisms behind MM cell death mediated by CDK7 inhibition. Here, we show that CDK7 expression positively correlates with E2F and MYC transcriptional programs in multiple myeloma (MM) patient cells; and its selective targeting counteracts E2F activity via perturbation of the CDKs/Rb axis and impairs MYC-regulated metabolic gene signatures translating into defects in glycolysis and reduced levels of lactate production in MM cells. CDK7 inhibition using the covalent small molecule inhibitor YKL-5-124 elicits a strong therapeutic response with minimal effects on normal cells, and causes in vivo tumor regression increasing survival in several MM mouse models including a genetically engineered mouse model of MYC-dependent MM. Through its role as a critical cofactor and regulator of MYC and E2F activity, CDK7 is therefore a master regulator of oncogenic cellular programs supporting MM growth and survival, and a valuable therapeutic target providing rationale for development of YKL-5-124 for clinical use.

CDK7 inhibition interdicts deregulated transcription and cell cycle control in multiple myeloma [Sensitive_MM_Cell_Lines_RNA-seq]

Project description:Cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) are high value therapeutical targets owing to their important roles in regulating transcription and the cell cycle — two pathways commonly altered in cancer and especially in multiple myeloma (MM). Among CDKs, CDK7 uniquely bridges cell cycle and transcriptional control by activating other cell cycle CDKs and forming the general transcription factor TFIIH. Utilizing a recently developed highly selective covalent inhibitor of CDK7, we demonstrate that CDK7 inhibition elicits a strong therapeutic response in MM blocking proliferation in vitro and driving tumor regression and prolonged survival in vivo. CDK7 inhibition counteracts molecular hallmarks of deregulated cell cycle control at the G1/S checkpoint. Additionally, we show CDK7 inhibition selectively downregulates oncogenic E2F and cell cycle gene expression programs. Combination treatment with JQ1 which target oncogenic enhancer driven gene expression programs proved highly synergistic. These results support CDK7 as an attractive and therapeutically actionable molecular vulnerability in MM.

Loss of function of CDK7 is Synthetically Lethal with Fatty Acid Oxidation Inhibition in Glioblastoma

Project description:CDK7 has been identified as a potential drug target for glioblastoma (GBM), a highly lethal primary brain tumor. However, resistance to therapy develops quickly, which may be facilitated by drug-induced reprogramming of metabolism. By combination of a transcriptome and metabolite screening analyses followed by carbon tracing (U-13C-Glucose, U-13C-Glutamine and U-13C-Palmitic acid) and extracellular flux analysis, we demonstrated that both genetic and pharmacological (YKL-5-124 and THZ1) CDK7 inhibition elicited substantial metabolic reprogramming. Specifically, CDK7 inhibition elicited an increase of oxygen consumption rate fueled by enhanced fatty acid oxidation (FAO) manifested by enhanced labeling of citric acid cycle intermediates from palmitic acid. Consistently, the combination treatment of CDK7 inhibitors with blockers of FAO (etomoxir) exerted substantial synergistic growth inhibition in patient derived xenograft as well as neurosphere GBM cultures, which was mainly driven by a collapse of oxidative energy metabolism. In turn, exogenous administration of adenosine triphosphate partially rescued from the cell death induced by the combination treatment. Finally, the combined administration of YKL-5-124 and etomoxir extended overall in an orthotopic patient-derived xenograft model of GBM. In summary, these data support that simultaneous targeting of CDK7 and FAO might be a potential novel therapy against GBM.

Targeting MYC dependency in ovarian cancer through inhibition of CDK7 and CDK12/13

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian cancer is characterized by extensive copy number alterations, among which the amplification of MYC oncogene occurs in nearly half of tumors. We demonstrate that ovarian cancer cells highly depend on MYC for maintaining their oncogenic growth, indicating MYC as a therapeutic target for this difficult-to-treat malignancy. However, targeting MYC directly has proven difficult. We screen small molecules targeting transcriptional and epigenetic regulation, and find that THZ1 –a chemical inhibiting CDK7, CDK12, and CDK13–markedly downregulates MYC. Notably, abolishing MYC expression cannot be achieved by targeting CDK7 alone, but require the combined inhibition of CDK7, CDK12, and CDK13. In all 11 independent patient derived xenografts models derived from heavily pre-treated ovarian cancer patients, administration of THZ1 induces significant tumor growth inhibition with concurrent abrogation of MYC expression. Our study indicates that targeting these transcriptional CDKs with agents such as THZ1 may be an effective approach for MYC-dependent ovarian malignancies.

Transcriptional CDK inhibitors as potential treatment option for testicular germ cell tumors

Project description:Type II testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the most frequently diagnosed solid malignancy in young men. Up to 15 % of patients with metastatic non-seminomas show cisplatin resistance having a very poor survival rate due to lacking treatment options. Transcriptional cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) have been shown to be effective targets in treatment of different types of cancer. Here, we investigated the effects of the CDK inhibitors dinaciclib, flavopiridol, YKL-5-124, THZ1, NVP2, SY0351 and THZ531. XTT viability assay revealed strong cytotoxic impact of CDK7/ 12/ 13 inhibitor SY0351 and CDK9 inhibitor NVP2 on the TGCT wild type cell lines (2102EP, NCCIT, TCam2) and the cisplatin resistant cell lines (2102EP-R, NCCIT-R). The CDK7 inhibitor YKL-5-124 showed strong impact on 2102EP, 2102EP-R, NCCIT and NCCIT-R cell lines leaving the MPAF control cell line mostly unaffected. FACS based analysis revealed mild effects on the cell cycle of 2102EP and TCam2 cells after SY0351, YKL-5-124 or NVP2 treatment. Molecular analysis showed a cell line specific response for SY0351 and NVP2 inhibition while YKL-5-124 induced similar molecular changes in 2102EP, TCam2 and MPAF cells. Thus, after TGCT subtype determination CDK inhibitors might be a potential alternative for optimized and individualized therapy independent of chemotherapy sensitivity.

Targeting transcriptional dependencies in cancer using a covalent CDK7 inhibitor (expression)

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) plays a critical role in the general regulation of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription. However, the absence of selective CDK7 inhibitors has hindered the ability to investigate the consequences of acute and prolonged inhibition of CDK7 under normal and pathological conditions. Here we present the discovery and characterization of the first covalent CDK7 inhibitor, CDK7-IN-1, that has the unprecedented ability to target a unique cysteine residue located outside of the canonical kinase domain, providing an unanticipated means of achieving selectivity for CDK7 amongst the 20 known CDKs. Cancer cell line profiling indicates that a subset of cancer cell lines, including T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), exhibit 100-fold greater sensitivity to CDK7-IN-1 over other tumor and normal cell lines. Genome-wide expression analysis in Jurkat T-ALL indicates that CDK7-IN-1 disproportionally affects RUNX1 as well as other components of the TAL1 transcriptional network and its targets, downregulating key regulators of transcription and apoptosis critical for the T-ALL state. These oncogenes are encoded by short-lived mRNA transcripts, are associated with super-enhancers, and exhibit a strong dependency on continuous transcription for sustained expression. Therefore, pharmacological modulation of CDK7 kinase activity may define a method for the identification and treatment of tumor types exhibiting extreme dependencies on transcription for maintenance of the oncogenic state. Jurkat, MM1S, Loucy, and HeLa (WT and Dox-inducible CDK7 mutant) cells were treated with various drugs including a covalent inhibitor of CDK7 (CDK7-IN-1), a reversible inhibitor of CDK7 (CDK7-IN-1), Flavopiridol, Actinomycin D, and DMSO controls. Replicates are annotated.
