Project description:By selective and reversible inhibition of CDK4/CDK6, we have developed a strategy to both inhibit proliferation and enhance cytotoxic killing of cancer cells. Induction of prolonged early-G1 arrest (pG1) by CDK4/CDK6 inhibition halts gene expression in early-G1 and prevents expression of genes programmed for other cell cycle phases. S-phase synchronization upon removal of the early-G1 block (pG1-S) fails to completely restore scheduled gene expression. Consequently, coordinate loss of IRF4 and gain of Bim and Noxa expression sensitize myeloma tumor cells to bortezomib-induced apoptosis in pG1 and more profoundly in pG1-S in vitro. Induction of pG1 and pG1-S by CDK4/CDK6 inhibition augments tumor-specific bortezomib killing in myeloma xenografts. Inhibition of CDK4/CDK6 in combination therapy thus represents a novel mechanism-based cancer therapy. PD 0332991 (PD) is the only known specific and reversible CDK4/CDK6 inhibitor. Gene expression was measured in myeloma MM1.S cells treated with PD (0.25 uM) in triplicate for 12, 24 or 36 h, or in cells released from G1, induced by 24hPD, for 4 or 18 h.

Project description:Cdk4 and Cdk6 are two related kinases that bind D-type cyclins and regulate cell cycle progression. Due to their relevance in cancer, Cdk4/6 inhibitors are currently in advanced clinical trials in multiple tumor types. Cdk4/6 are inhibited by INK4 proteins that exert tumor suppressing functions. To test the significance of this inhibitory mechanism we have generated knock-in mice that express a Cdk6 mutant (Cdk6 R31C) insensitive to INK4-mediated inhibition. Cdk6R/R mice display altered development of the hematopoietic system without resulting in enhanced tumor susceptibility, either in the presence or absence of p53. The presence of the Cdk6 R31C allele results in defective potential of hematopoietic progenitors in adoptive transfer assays or after induced damage. These defects are rescued after complete insensitivity to INK4 inhibitors in Cdk4R/R; Cdk6R/R double mutant mice, and INK4-resistant mice display increased susceptibility to hematopoietic and endocrine tumors. In BCR-ABL-transformed hematopoietic cells, the presence of the Cdk6 R31C allele results in increased binding of p16INK4a to wild-type Cdk4, whereas the double mutant is fully insensitive to INK4 inhibitors resulting in accelerated disease onset. Our observations reveal that Cdk4 and Cdk6 cooperate in tumor development and suggest a role for Cdk6 in buffering INK4 protein levels thus contributing to the development of hematopoietic tumors. The presence of the Cdk4 R24C and Cdk6 R31C alleles results in relevant changes in the expression profiles of cancer cells including deregulation of apoptosis and other processes. p185BCR-ABL1 was used to transform wild-type or double knock-in Cdk4 R24C; Cdk6 R31C fetal livers. Cell lines were isolated as spontaneous immortal and transformed clones after transduction of fetal liver with a p185 BCR-ABL1-transgene. RNA was isolated from asynchronous cultures. Two-condition experiment, Cdk4R-Cdk6R cells versus wild-type cells. Biological replicates: 3 control replicates, 3 transfected replicates.

Project description:CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) are effective in metastatic breast cancer, but they have been only modestly effective in most other tumor types. Here we show that tumors expressing low CDK6 rely on CDK4 function, and are exquisitely sensitive to CDK4/6i. In contrast, tumor cells expressing both CDK4 and CDK6 have increased reliance on CDK6 to ensure cell cycle progression. We discovered that CDK4/6i and CDK4/6 degraders potently bind and inhibit CDK6 selectively in tumors in which CDK6 is highly thermo-unstable and strongly associated with the HSP90/CDC37 complex. In contrast, CDK4/6i and CDK4/6 degraders are ineffective in antagonizing tumor cells expressing thermostable CDK6, due to their weaker binding to CDK6 in these cells. Thus, we uncover a general mechanism of intrinsic resistance to CDK4/6i and CDK4/6i-derived degraders and the need for novel inhibitors targeting the CDK4/6i-resistant, thermostable form of CDK6 for application as cancer therapeutics.

Project description:The immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) lenalidomide and pomalidomide are highly effective treatments for multiple myeloma. However, virtually all patients eventually relapse due to acquired drug resistance with resistance-causing genetic alterations being found only in a small subset of cases. Here, we performed integrated global quantitative tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses and RNA sequencing in five paired pre-treatment and relapse samples from multiple myeloma patients to investigate non-genetic resistance mechanisms. These analyses revealed a CDK6-governed protein resistance signature that includes myeloma high-risk factors such as TRIP13 and RRM1. Overexpression of CDK6 in multiple myeloma cell lines reduced sensitivity to IMiDs while CDK6 inhibition by palbociclib or CDK6 degradation by proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) is highly synergistic with IMiDs in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, we found upregulation of CDK6 to cause lenalidomide resistance in multiple myeloma that can be overcome by pharmacological intervention.

Project description:The cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) regulates the transition through the G1-phase of the cell cycle, but also acts as a transcriptional regulator. As such CDK6 regulates cell survival or cytokine secretion together with STATs, AP-1 or NF-κB. In the hematopoietic system, CDK6 regulates T cell development and promotes leukemia and lymphoma. CDK4/6 kinase inhibitors are FDA approved for treatment of breast cancer patients and have been reported to enhance T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity. The involvement of CDK6 in T cell functions remains enigmatic. We here investigated the role of CDK6 in CD8+ T cells, using previously generated CDK6 knockout (Cdk6-/-) and kinase-dead mutant CDK6 (Cdk6K43M) knock-in mice. RNA-seq analysis indicated a role of CDK6 in T cell metabolism and interferon (IFN) signaling. To investigate whether these CDK6 functions are T cell-intrinsic, we generated a T cell-specific CDK6 knockout mouse model (Cdk6fl/fl CD4-Cre). T cell-intrinsic loss of CDK6 enhanced mitochondrial respiration in CD8+ T cells in vitro, but did not impact on CD8+ T cell effector function, as T cell-mediated tumor surveillance of MC38 tumors remained unaltered. Similarly, while we observed an impaired induction of early responses to type I IFN in CDK6-deficient CD8+ T cells, we failed to observe any differences in the response to LCMV infection in vivo. This apparent contradiction might at least partially be explained by the reduced expression of Socs1, a negative regulator of IFN signaling, in CDK6-deficient CD8+ T cells. Therefore, our data are in line with a dual role of CDK6 in IFN signaling; while CDK6 promotes early IFN responses, it is also involved in the induction of a negative feedback loop. These data assign CDK6 a role in the fine-tuning of cytokine responses.

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) represents a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of certain subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). CDK4/6 kinase inhibitors have been widely studied in many cancer types and their effects may be limited by primary and secondary resistance mechanisms. CDK4/6 degraders, which eliminate kinase dependent and kinase independent effects, have been suggested as alternative therapeutic option. We show that efficacy of the CDK6 specific protein degrader BSJ-03-123 varies among AML subtypes and depends on low expression of the INK4 proteins p16INK4A and p18INK4C. INK4 protein levels are significantly elevated in MLL-AF9+ compared to AML1-ETO+ cells, contributing to the different CDK6 degradation efficacy. We demonstrate that CDK6 complexes containing p16INK4A or p18INK4C are protected from BSJ-mediated degradation and that INK4 levels define the proliferative response to CDK6 degradation. These findings define INK4 proteins as predictive marker for CDK6 degradation – targeted therapies in AML.

Project description:Multiple myeloma is a genetically heterogeneous disease of plasma cells. The thalidomide analog lenalidomide is a mainstay in the treatment of multiple myeloma and is used in combination with other drugs such as corticosteroids, chemotherapy and proteasome inhibitors, achieving high remission rates. However, most patients relapse due to acquired resistance of the malignant cells. Genetic analyses have revealed mutations in CRBN, the target of all IMiDs, as a resistance mechanism in 10% of patients, while for the majority of cases, the mechanism of resistance is unknown. Here, we performed integrated global quantitative tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses and RNA sequencing in five paired pre-treatment and relapse samples from multiple myeloma patients. These analyses revealed proteins highly upregulated at relapse, including TRIP13, RRM1 and CDK6, which was not reflected on the RNA expression level. Overexpression of CDK6 in multiple myeloma cell lines reduced sensitivity to lenalidomide and pomalidomide in a kinase-dependent fashion. CDK6 inactivation by palbociclib or a CDK6-specific proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) plus lenalidomide or pomalidomide was highly synergistic. Proteomic analyses in cell lines revealed that CDK6 inhibition reverses a complex protein resistance signature including RRM1 and TRIP13 and in combination with IMiDs promotes metabolic remodeling and c-MYC downregulation . In conclusion, our global proteomic analyses identified CDK6 upregulation as a drug target to overcome lenalidomide resistance in multiple myeloma.
