RNA-seq of S63845 sensitive and resistant myeloma cell lines.

ABSTRACT: We performed RNA-seq analysis of in-house generated S63845 sensitive and resistant myeloma cell lines OPM-2 and KMS-12-BM in order to define common events in the acquisition of MCL-1 inhibitor resistance. Our results, however, point to the occurrence of cell line specific, heterogeneous paths to resistance as no common differences were observed. Subsequent experiments rather revealed that the binding kinetics of BH3 family members are a major driver of MCL-1 inhibitor resistance and that individual shifts during the establishment of resistance dependent on the baseline BH3 family profile.

Project description:Amyloid light chain amyloidosis (AL) is an incurable protein misfolding disorder characterized by the production of amyloidogenic immunoglobulin light chains by clonal populations of plasma cells. These abnormal light chains accumulate as amyloid fibrils in vital organs and cause multi-organ dysfunction that can be rapidly fatal. Current treatment regimens, which include proteasome inhibitors, were developed for the treatment of the more common plasma cell disease multiple myeloma and have demonstrated efficacy in AL amyloidosis. However, use of these agents is frequently limited due to multi-organ dysfunction at presentation, resulting in a median survival of 2-3 years and underscoring the need for novel therapies. By analyzing bone marrow-derived plasma cells from 44 patients with AL amyloidosis, we find that clonal plasma cells are highly primed to undergo apoptosis and exhibit strong dependencies on pro-survival BCL-2 family proteins that can potentially be targeted by recently-developed BH3 mimetics. In particular, we find that clonal plasma cells are highly dependent on the pro-survival MCL-1 and undergo apoptosis in response to single-agent treatment with an MCL-1 inhibitor. Notably, this MCL-1 dependency is indirectly targeted by the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, which is currently the standard of care for this disease, via the stabilization of Noxa and its direct inhibitory binding to MCL-1. BCL-2 inhibition with the FDA-approved inhibitor venetoclax (ABT-199) sensitizes plasma cells to bortezomib treatment and other front-line therapies, which can be observed in vitro and in vivo. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis reveals changes in signaling pathways regulating apoptosis, proliferation and mitochondrial metabolism between isogenic AL amyloidosis and multiple myeloma cells that divergently alter their sensitivity to therapy. Overall, our results indicate that BH3 mimetics may be highly effective therapies for AL amyloidosis that exploit inherent and induced dependencies on pro-survival proteins.
