TORSEL, a 4EBP1-based mTORC1 live-cell sensor, reveals nutrient-sensing targeting by histone deacetylase inhibitor

ABSTRACT: Mammalian or the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is an effective therapeutic target for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, aging, and neurodegeneration. However, an efficient tool to monitor mTORC1 inhibition in living cells or tissues is lacking. We developed a genetically encoded mTORC1 sensor called TORSEL. This sensor changes its fluorescence pattern from diffuse to punctate when 4EBP1 dephosphorylation occurs and interacts with eIF4E. TORSEL can specifically sense physiological, pharmacological, and genetic inhibition of mTORC1 signaling in living cells and tissues. Importantly, TORSEL is a valuable tool for imaging-based visual screening of mTORC1 inhibitors. Using TORSEL, we identified histone deacetylase inhibitors that selectively block nutrient-sensing signaling to inhibit mTORC1. Therefore, TORSEL is a unique living cell sensor that efficiently detects the inhibition of mTORC1 activity, and histone deacetylase inhibitors such as panobinostat target mTORC1 signaling through amino acid sensing.

Selective Inhibitors of mTORC1 Activate 4EBP1 and Suppress Tumor Growth

Project description:The clinical benefit of current mTOR inhibitors is limited, perhaps reflecting their intrinsic pharmacological profiles. Rapamycin analogs selectively inhibit mTORC1, but fail to suppress phosphorylation of the mTORC1 substrate 4EBP1, a translational repressor that is a key driver of oncogenic mTORC1 signaling. mTOR kinase active-site inhibitors fully suppress mTORC1 and phosphorylation of its substrates, but are active against mTORC2 and additional kinases, potentially contributing to tolerability limitations. The prototype bi-steric inhibitor RapaLink-1 exploits the selective mTORC1 interactions of rapamycin and the broad mTOR kinase inhibitory effects of an active-site inhibitor, through covalent linkage of the two pharmacophores to achieve complete mTORC1/2 inhibition. We demonstrate that the anti-proliferative activity of RapaLink-1 is dependent upon mTORC1 and suppression of 4EBP1 phosphorylation. Using a rational design strategy, we tuned the affinities of the rapamycin core and ATP-mimetic moieties to create novel bi-steric inhibitors with enhanced mTORC1 selectivity and potency against 4EBP1 phosphorylation. mTORC1-selective bi-steric compounds produced durable inhibition of 4EBP1 phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo, and drove tumor regressions at well-tolerated doses in xenograft models of breast cancer.

Iron Drives Anabolic Metabolism Through Active Histone Demethylation and mTORC1

Project description:All living cells require a minimal iron threshold to sustain anabolic metabolism. However, the mechanisms by which cells sense iron to regulate anabolic processes are unclear. Here, we report a universal eukaryotic pathway for iron sensing in which molecular iron is required to sustain active histone demethylation and maintain the expression of critical components of the pro-anabolic mTORC1 pathway. Specifically, we identify the iron-binding histone-demethylase KDM3B as an intrinsic iron sensor that regulates mTORC1 activity by demethylating H3K9me2 at enhancers of a high-affinity leucine transporter and RAPTOR. By directly suppressing leucine availability and RAPTOR levels, iron deficiency (ID) supersedes other nutrient inputs into mTORC1. This process occurs in vivo, and is not an indirect effect by canonical iron-utilizing pathways. These data demonstrate a novel mechanism of eukaryotic iron sensing through dynamic chromatin remodeling and repression of mTORC1 mediated anabolism. Due to ancestral eukaryotes sharing homologues of KDMs and mTORC1 core components, this pathway likely predated the emergence of the other kingdom-specific nutrient sensors for mTORC1.

Elevated expression of KDM3B targets is associated with reduced survival in a subset of human cancers and ID represses mTORC1 in patient-derived tumor cells and sensitizes cancer cells to chemotherapy. These data demonstrate a novel mechanism of eukaryotic iron sensing through dynamic chromatin remodeling and repression of mTORC1 mediated anabolism.

Enhancer reactivation mediates adaptive resistance to FGFR inhibitors in triple-negative breast cancer [PDX_RNA_seq]

Project description:A subset of triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) are characterized by genetic alterations in fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) including amplifications, activating mutations or gene fusions. However, despite this genetic evidence of FGFR-dependency, FGFR inhibitors have shown only limited clinical efficacy in TNBC, suggesting the presence of intrinsic or adaptive resistance mechanisms. Using genome-wide CRISPR screens, we found that resistance to FGFR inhibition is mediated by activation of the mTORC1 and YAP pathways. Prolonged FGFR inhibition increased expression of several amino acid transporters resulting in increased cellular level of certain amino acids and activation of the mTORC1 amino acid sensing pathway. Epigenomic analyses revealed that FGFR inhibition reorganized YAP/TEAD associated enhancers leading to the upregulation of YAP target genes including the amino acid transporters upstream of mTORC1. Remarkably, mTORC1 and FGFR inhibitors synergistically blocked the growth of TNBC cells in vitro and in patient-derived xenografts. These findings define a novel epigenetic feedback mechanism involving intracellular amino acid levels leading to targeted therapy resistance in TNBC, and offers a combinatorial drug treatment strategy to improve clinical outcomes for this aggressive breast cancer subtype.
