Dual targeting of processive transcription for Myc-driven circuitry in medulloblastoma [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood. The highest-risk tumors are driven by recurrent Myc amplifications (Myc-MB) and experience poorer outcomes despite intensive multimodal therapy. The Myc transcription factor defines core regulatory circuitry for these tumors and acts to broadly amplify downstream pro-survival transcriptional programs. Therapeutic targeting of Myc directly has proven elusive, but inhibiting transcriptional cofactors may present an indirect means of drugging the oncogenic transcriptional circuitry sustaining Myc-MB. Independent CRISPR-Cas9 screens were pooled to identify conserved dependencies in Myc-MB. We performed chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) from primary patient Myc-MB samples to map enhancer-promoter interactions. We then treated in vitro and xenograft models with the dual CDK9/7 inhibitor zotiraciclib to evaluate effect on Myc-driven programs and tumor growth. Eight CRISPR-Cas9 screens performed across three independent labs identify CDK9 as a conserved dependency in Myc-MB. Myc-MB cells are susceptible to CDK9 inhibition, which is synergistic with concurrent inhibition of CDK7. The dual CDK9/7 inhibitor zotiraciclib disrupts enhancer-promoter activity in Myc-MB and downregulates Myc-driven transcriptional programs, exerting potent anti-tumor effect.

Pharmacological blockade of high-risk MYCN driven neuroblastoma using an orally-bioavailable CDK2/9 inhibitor

Project description:The undruggable nature of oncogenic Myc transcription factors poses a therapeutic challenge in neuroblastoma, a paediatric cancer in which MYCN amplification is strongly associated with unfavourable outcome. Here, we show that CYC065, a clinical inhibitor of CDK2 and CDK9, selectively targets MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma via blockade of CDK9-dependent, MYCN-driven transcriptional elongation and CDK2-dependent proliferation. CYC065 also targets nascent transcription of short half-life genes including MYCN and MCL-1 leading to downregulation of MYCN-driven ‘adrenergic’ gene expression programs, growth inhibition, and apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. These data highlight the clinical potential of CDK2/9 inhibition in the treatment of MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma.

Combined BET bromodomain and CDK2 inhibition in MYC-driven medulloblastoma

Project description:MYC genes are frequently amplified and correlate with poor prognosis in MB. BET bromodomains recognize acetylated lysine residues and often promote and maintain MYC transcription. Certain cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are further known to support MYC stabilization in tumor cells. In this report, MB cells were suppressed by combined targeting of MYC expression and MYC stabilization using BET bromodomain inhibition and CDK2 inhibition, respectively. Such combination treatment worked synergistically and caused cell cycle arrest as well as massive apoptosis. Immediate transcriptional changes from this combined MYC blockade were found using RNA-Seq profiling and showed remarkable similarities to changes in MYC target gene expression when MYCN was turned off with doxycycline in our MYCN-inducible animal model for Group 3 MB. In addition, the combination treatment significantly prolonged survival as compared to single agent therapy in orthotopically transplanted human Group 3 MB with MYC amplifications. Our data suggests that dual inhibition of CDK2 and BET bromodomains can be a novel treatment approach for suppressing MYC-driven cancer.

Discovery of small-molecule degraders of the CDK9-cyclin T1 complex for targeting transcriptional addiction in prostate cancer

Project description:Aberrant hyperactivation of cyclins results in carcinogenesis and therapy resistance in cancers. Direct degradation of the specific cyclin or CDK-cyclin complex by small-molecule degraders remains a great challenge. Here, we applied the first application of hydrophobic tagging to induce degradation of CDK9-cyclin T1 heterodimer which is required to keep productive transcription of oncogenes in cancers. LL-K9-3 was identified as a potent small-molecule degrader of CDK9-cyclin T1. Quantitative and time-resolved proteome profiling exhibited LL-K9-3 induced selective and synchronous degradation of CDK9 and cyclin T1. The expression of androgen receptor (AR) and c-Myc were reduced by LL-K9-3 in 22RV1 cells. LL-K9-3 exhibited enhanced anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects than its parental CDK9 inhibitor SNS032, and suppressed downstream signaling of CDK9 and AR more effectively than SNS032. Moreover, LL-K9-3 inhibited AR and MYC-driven oncogenic transcriptional programs, and exerted stronger inhibitory effects on several intrinsic target genes of AR than the monomeric CDK9 PROTAC (Thal-SNS032).

Pharmacological blockade of MYCN in neuroblastoma using orally-bioavailable CDK inhibitors reveals an approach widely applicable to Myc-dependent cancers

Project description:Neuroblastoma (NB) is a paediatric tumor wherein amplification of the oncogenic basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor (TF) MYCN confers clinical and biologic features prototypical of Myc-dependent cancers. TF-dependent cancers like MYCN-amplified NB are difficult to target, but the availability of clinical-candidate transcription inhibitors makes selective blockade of oncogenic TF activity a possibility. Here we investigated whether NB could be controlled via dual targeting of the transcription elongation machinery and cell cycle progression, using an orally bioavailable and selective CDK9/2 inhibitor CYC065. CYC065 blocks nascent transcription and leads to a drastic reduction in steady-state levels of short-lived transcripts. In MYCN-amplified NB, CYC065 rapidly and completely eliminated MYCN mRNA and protein, terminating expression of a MYCN-dependent gene expression programme. This result is phenocopied by multiple clinical-candidate CDK9 chemical inhibitors and genetic manipulation of CDK9. Mechanistically, CYC065 dissociates MYCN from physical proximity of P-TEFb in cells. P-TEFb co-occupies promoters and enhancers of de-differentiating pathway genes highly-occupied by MYCN, and CDK9 inhibition terminates expression of these and other highly transcribed genes. Intriguingly, targeted inhibition of CDK9 alone is insufficient to eradicate MYCN-dependent cells lines as CDK9 loss alone is compensated by upregulation of CDK2. CYC065 targeted MYCN-driven neuroblastoma in vivo, resulted in tumor regression or eradication and prolonged survival in multiple NB models, and was effective against a wide range of Myc-dependent cancer cells lines in vitro. The data establish that combined CDK9/CDK2 inhibition blocks transcriptional dependence induced by MYCN, highlighting a potential clinical strategy by which many Myc-driven cancers could be targeted.
