CK1δ and CK1ε Signaling Sustains Mitochondrial Metabolism and Cell Survival in Multiple Myeloma
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable malignancy due to acquisition of intrinsic programs that drive therapy resistance. Here we report that casein kinase-1δ (CK1δ) and CK1ε are therapeutic targets in MM that are necessary to sustain mitochondrial metabolism. Specifically, the dual CK1δ/CK1ε inhibitor SR-3029 had potent in vivo and ex vivo anti-MM activity, including against primary MM patient specimens. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and metabolic analyses revealed inhibiting CK1δ/CK1ε disables MM metabolism by suppressing genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos), reducing citric acid cycle intermediates, and suppressing Complexes I and IV of the electron transport chain. Finally, sensitivity of MM patient specimens to SR-3029 correlated with elevated expression of mitochondrial genes, and RNA-seq from 687 MM patient samples revealed that increased CSNK1D, CSNK1E, and OxPhos genes correlates with disease progression and inferior outcomes. Thus, increases in mitochondrial metabolism are a hallmark of MM progression that can be disabled by targeting CK1δ/CK1ε.
