Multifaceted anti-tumor activity of a CDK9 inhibitor in prostate cancer [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) stimulates oncogenic transcriptional pathways in cancer. Here, we evaluate the activity of an orally bioavailable CDK9 inhibitor, CDKI-73, in prostate cancer, a disease characterized by aberrant activity of multiple transcriptional regulators. CDKI-73 caused inhibition of proliferation and cell death in diverse in vitro models of androgen receptor (AR)-driven and AR-independent models of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The activity of CDKI-73 was validated in more clinically-relevant systems, including xenografts, patient-derived tumor explants and aggressive patient-derived CRPC organoids. Mechanistically, CDKI-73 inhibited CDK9-mediated phosphorylation of serine 2 on RNA polymerase II and serine 81 on AR. This resulted in reduced levels of anti-apoptotic factors and suppression of signaling pathways regulated by AR, MYC and BRD4, key drivers of dysregulated transcription in prostate cancer. CDKI-73 synergized with the BRD4 inhibitor AZD5153 in cell lines and organoid models of aggressive AR-driven and AR-independent disease. Collectively, our work provides new insights into CDK9’s oncogenic activity and reveals CDKI-73 as a promising therapeutic agent for prostate cancer, particularly aggressive, therapy-resistant subtypes.

Combined Inhibition of Epigenetic Readers and Transcription Initiation Targets the EWS-ETS Transcriptional Program in Ewing Sarcoma

Project description:Background: Previously, we used inhibitors blocking BET bromodomain binding proteins (BRDs) in Ewing sarcoma (EwS) and observed that long term treatment resulted in the development of resistance. Here, we analyze the possible interaction of BRD4 with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 9. Methods: Co-immunoprecipitation experiments (CoIP) to characterize BRD4 interaction and functional consequences of inhibiting transcriptional elongation were assessed using drugs targeting of BRD4 or CDK9, either alone or in combination. Results: CoIP revealed an interaction of BRD4 with EWS-FLI1 and CDK9 in EwS. Treatment of EwS cells with CDKI-73, a specific CDK9 inhibitor (CDK9i), induced a rapid downregulation of EWS-FLI1 expression and block of contact-dependent growth. CDKI-73 induced apoptosis in EwS, as depicted by cleavage of Caspase 7 (CASP7), PARP and increased CASP3 activity, similar to JQ1. Microarray analysis following CDKI-73 treatment uncovered a transcriptional program that was only partially comparable to BRD inhibition. Strikingly, combined treatment of EwS with BRD- and CDK9-inhibitors re-sensitized cells, and was overall more effective than individual drugs not only in vitro but also in a preclinical mouse model in vivo. Conclusion: Treatment with BRD inhibitors in combination with CDK9i offers a new treatment option that significantly blocks the pathognomonic EWS-ETS transcriptional program and malignant phenotype of EwS.

Therapeutic Targeting of BET Bromodomain Proteins in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Men who develop metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) invariably succumb to the disease. The development and progression to CRPC following androgen ablation therapy is predominantly driven by unregulated androgen receptor (AR) signaling1-3. Despite the success of recently approved therapies targeting AR signaling such as abiraterone4-6 and second generation anti-androgens MDV3100 (enzalutamide)7,8, durable responses are limited, presumably due to acquired resistance. Recently JQ1 and I-BET, two selective small molecule inhibitors that target the amino-terminal bromodomains of BRD4, have been shown to exhibit antiproliferative effects in a range of malignancies9-12. Here we show that AR signaling-competent CRPC cell lines are preferentially sensitive to BET bromodomain inhibition. BRD4 physically interacts with the N-terminal domain of AR and can be disrupted by JQ111,13. Like the direct AR antagonist, MDV3100, JQ1 disrupted AR recruitment to target gene loci. In contrast to MDV3100, JQ1 functions downstream of AR, and more potently abrogated BRD4 localization to AR target loci and AR mediated gene transcription including induction of TMPRSS2-ERG and its oncogenic activity. In vivo, BET bromodomain inhibition was more efficacious than direct AR antagonism in CRPC xenograft models. Taken together, these studies provide a novel epigenetic approach for the concerted blockade of oncogenic drivers in advanced prostate cancer.

Inhibition of CDK9 activity compromises global splicing in prostate cancer cells

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) phosphorylates RNA polymerase II to promote productive transcription elongation and the phosphorylation also regulates recruitment of the splicing machinery. Here we show that acute CDK9 inhibition affects splicing of thousands of mRNAs. CDK9 inhibition impairs global splicing and there is no evidence for a coordinated response between alternative splicing and the overall transcriptome. Alternative splicing is feature of aggressive prostate cancer (CRPC) and enables generation of an anti-androgen resistant version of a ligand-independent androgen receptor, AR-v7. We show that CDK9 inhibition compromises splicing of the androgen receptor (AR) mRNA due to the faulty utilization of alternative 3’splice site and introduction of premature stop codon. Consequently, this defective splicing results in the loss of AR and AR-v7 expression in models of CRPC. We show that CDK9 expression increases as PC cells develop CRPC-phenotype both in vitro and also in patient samples.

Modulating Androgen Receptor-driven Transcription in Prostate Cancer with Selective CDK9 Inhibitors [SLAM-seq]

Project description:Castration resistant prostate cancers (CRPCs) lose sensitivity to androgen deprivation therapies but frequently remain dependent on oncogenic transcription driven by androgen receptor (AR) and its splice variants. To discover novel modulators of AR variant activity, we used a lysate-based small molecule microarray (SMM) assay and identified KI-ARv-03 as an AR variant complex binder that reduces AR-driven transcription and proliferation in prostate cancer cells. We deduced KI-ARv-03 to be a potent, selective inhibitor of CDK9, an important cofactor for AR, MYC, and other oncogenic transcription factors. Further optimization resulted in KB-0742 , an orally bioavailable, selective CDK9 inhibitor with potent anti-tumor activity in CRPC models. In 22Rv1 cells, KB-0742 rapidly downregulates nascent transcription, preferentially depleting short half-life transcripts and AR-driven oncogenic programs. In vivo , oral administration of KB-0742 significantly reduced tumor growth in CRPC, supporting CDK9 inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy to target AR dependence in CRPC.

Changes in gene expression induced by CDK9 inhibition alone and in combination with fludarabine

Project description:Using a transcriptomics approach we explored the mechanism(s) of synergy observed between CDKI-73 and fludarabine in primary CLL cells. The cytotoxic effects of CDKI-73 were associated with transcriptional inhibition of cdk9 target genes including MCL1 and XIAP. In contrast, fludarabine induced the transcription of these genes, an effect that was reversed by the combination of CDKI-73 and fludarabine. We used microarrays to explore the cytoxic synergy observed in primary CLL cells when we combined a novel CDK9 inhibitor with the purine nucleoside analogue fludarabine Primary CLL cells were inclubated with 0.1 Î¼M CDKI-73, 10 Î¼M fludarabine or the two drugs in combination for 4h.
