Targeting multiple effector pathways in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with a G-quadruplex-binding small molecule

Project description:Human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) involves the dysregulation of multiple signalling pathways. A novel approach to the treatment of PDAC is described, involving the targeting of cancer genes in PDAC pathways having over-representation of G-quadruplexes, using the quadruplex-binding compound CM03. This has been designed by computer modelling, is a potent inhibitor of cell growth in PDAC cell lines and has anti-cancer activity in PDAC models, with a superior profile compared to gemcitabine, a commonly used therapy. Whole-transcriptome RNA-seq methodology has been used to analyse for the first time the effects of a quadruplex-binding small molecule on gene expression. This has revealed the down-regulation of a large number of genes, rich in putative quadruplex elements and involved in essential pathways of PDAC survival, metastasis and drug resistance. The changes produced by CM03 represent a global response to the complexity of human PDAC, and may be applicable to other currently hard-to-treat cancers.

G-quadruplex roles in transcription deciphered by comparative transcriptomic analyses

Project description:G-quadruplexes (G4) are non-canonical nucleic acid structures that can form at certain DNA or RNA guanine-rich sequences. G4 motifs are dispersed throughout the genome and considerably enriched at promoters, where they flank the transcription start site (TSS) and cluster at the 5’ end of the first intron, which suggests potential regulatory roles of quadruplexes in transcription. To improve our understanding of these roles, we have associated gene expression with the frequency of canonical G4 motifs near gene promoters and characterized perturbations caused by treatment with three G-quadruplex ligands, Pyridostatin and the two bisquinolinium compounds PhenDC3 and PhenDC6. We show that enrichment of G4 motifs characterizes the most actively transcribed genes, challenging the notion that quadruplexes chiefly exert negative regulation by blocking progress of RNA polymerase. G4 ligand-treatment altered splicing of transcripts at genes enriched for G4 motifs at the 5’-end of intron 1, suggesting that G-quadruplexes in the pre-mRNA can regulate splicing. Furthermore, our analysis also revealed some of the effects of G4 ligand treatment that likely reflect quadruplex-dependent replication stress leading to the induction of transcriptional signatures compatible with impaired cell cycle progression. Collectively, our results support the view that G-quadruplexes typically function as positive regulators of transcription, suggesting that quadruplexes may stabilize promoter architecture to enable efficient transcription. This analysis provides strong support for function of quadruplexes near the promoter as regulators of transcription and splicing.

Whole-Transcriptome Profiling of Canine and Human in Vitro Models Exposed to a G-Quadruplex Binding Small Molecule

Project description:G-quadruplexes (G4) are secondary nucleic acid structures that have been associated with genomic instability and cancer progression. When present in the promoter of some oncogenes, G4 structures can affect gene regulation and, hence, represent a possible therapeutic target. In this study, RNA-Seq was used to explore the effect of a G4-binding anthraquinone derivative, named AQ1, on the whole-transcriptome profiles of two common cell models for the study of KIT pathways; the human mast cell leukemia (HMC1.2) and the canine mast cell tumor (C2). The highest non-cytotoxic dose of AQ1 (2 µM) resulted in 5441 and 1201 differentially expressed genes in the HMC1.2 and C2 cells, respectively. In both cell lines, major pathways such as cell cycle progression, KIT- and MYC-related pathways were negatively enriched in the AQ1-treated group, while other pathways such as p53, apoptosis and hypoxia-related were positively enriched. These findings suggest that AQ1 treatment induces a similar functional response in the human and canine cell models, and provide news insights into using dogs as a reliable translational model for studying G4-binding compounds.

Small-molecule-based Human Genome G4 Profiling Reveals Potential Gene Regulation Activity

Project description:G-quadruplexes (G4s) are a type of secondary structure of nucleic acids, the formation of which depends on the π-π stacking of guanine-rich sequences. Herein, we present a readily accessible strategy, based on small molecule pulldown, for direct genomic G4 profiling of HEK 293T cells. A small molecule was rationally designed, containing PDP on one end and biotin on the other, joined by a 24-unit-long hydrophilic PEG linker. G4s isolation from genomic DNA annealed in potassium chloride buffer beforehand, has identified a total of 51446 PQS, which mainly distribute in introns and intergenic regions. Incubating cells with PDP for 3 h to 72 h resulted in the differential expression of a variety of genes, indicating a potential function of G4s in gene regulation.
