Therapeutic potential of a novel HSP90 Inhibitor, NXD30001, for Neurofibromatosis type 2

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The growth and survival of NF2-deficient cells are enhanced by the activation of multiple signaling pathways including ErbB2/IGF-1R/Met, PI3K/Akt, and Ras/Raf/Mek/Erk1/2. The ubiquitously expressed chaperone protein HSP90 is known to be essential for the stabilization of these signaling molecules. We aim to evaluate the effect of the HSP90 inhibition on the signaling pathways activated in NF2-related tumors. We tested the efficacy of the newly synthesized small molecule NXD30001 which was shown to be more potent in HSP90 inhibition in vitro and less toxic in vivo than already existing HSP90 inhibitors. Experimental Design: The anti-proliferative activity of NXD30001 was tested in NF2-deficient mouse cells in vitro, and its anti-tumor efficacy was verified in an NF2-deficient allograft model in vivo. The underlying molecular alteration in vitro and in vivo was further characterized by a global transcriptome approach. Results: NXD30001 was found to induce degradation of client proteins and to suppress proliferation in NF2-deficient cells in vitro and in vivo. Differential expression analysis further identified subsets of genes implicated in cell proliferation, survival, vascularization, and Schwann cell differentiation, whose expression were altered by NXD30001 treatment. Conclusions: NXD30001 is a potent HSP90 inhibitor showing significant antitumor activity against NF2-related tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, and represents a promising option for novel NF2 therapies.

Chip of BRD4 in Neurofibromatosis type 2

Project description:Background: Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by the development of multiple Schwannomas, usually occurring on both VIIIth (vestibular) cranial nerves. Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins regulate gene transcription and their activity is required in a variety of cancers including malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST). The use of BET inhibitors as a therapeutic option to treat NF2 schwannomas has not been explored and is the focus of this study. Methods: A panel of normal and NF2-null Schwann cell and schwannoma cell lines were used to characterize the impact of the BET inhibitor JQ1 in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism of action was explored by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of the BET BRD4, phospho-kinase arrays and immunohistochemistry of BRD4 in human vestibular schwannomas. Results: JQ1 inhibited the proliferation of NF2-null schwannoma and Schwann cell lines in vitro and in vivo. Further, loss of NF2 by CRISPR deletion or siRNA knockdown increased the sensitivity of cells to JQ1. Knock-down experiments identified BRD4 as the BET family member mediating the majority of JQ1 effects on cell proliferation. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated elevated levels of BRD4 protein in human vestibular schwannomas. BRD4 ChIP experiments identified the small G-protein Rac1 and PI3K signaling pathways as sensitive to JQ1. Conclusions: NF2 deficient Schwann cell and schwannoma cells are sensitive to BET inhibition, primarily mediated by BRD4, which is overexpressed in human vestibular schwannomas. BRD4 regulates Rac/Ras and PI3K signaling pathways and inhibition of these pathways by JQ1 impedes NF2 Schwannoma growth. These findings implicate BET inhibition as a therapeutic option for NF2-deficient schwannomas.

YAP mediates tumorigenesis in neurofibromatosis type 2 through a COX2-EGFR signaling axis

Project description:The Hippo-YAP signaling pathway has emerged as a major driver of tumorigenesis in a wide spectrum of human cancers. YAP functions as a transcriptional activator and while details of YAP regulation are emerging at a fast pace, it remains unknown what downstream targets are critical for YAP oncogenic functions. To establish the mechanisms involved and identify disease-relevant targets we examined the role of YAP in neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) using cell and animal models. YAP function is required in NF2-null Schwann cells to promote cell survival and for tumor growth, in vivo. Moreover, YAP promotes transcription of several targets including Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), which controls production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and amphiregulin (AREG), a member of the epidermal growth factor family. Both AREG and PGE2 converge to activate survival signaling through EGFR, in a Src-dependent manner, thus promoting cell survival. Importantly, treatment with the COX2 inhibitor celecoxib significantly repressed the growth of NF2-null Schwann cells in vitro and tumor growth in a mouse model of NF2-associated schwnnoma.

Inactivation of p21-Activated Kinase 2 (Pak2) Inhibits the Development of Nf2-Deficient Tumors by Restricting Downstream Hedgehog and Wnt Signaling

Project description:Since loss of the NF2 tumor suppressor gene results in p21-activated kinase (Pak) activation, PAK inhibitors hold promise for the treatment of NF2-deficient tumors. To test this possibility, we asked if loss of Pak2, a highly expressed group I PAK member, affects the development of malignant mesothelioma in Nf2;Cdkn2a-deficient (NC) mice and the growth properties of NC mesothelioma cells in culture. In vivo, deletion of Pak2 resulted in a markedly decreased incidence and delayed onset of both pleural and peritoneal malignant mesotheliomas in NC mice. In vitro, Pak2 deletion decreased malignant mesothelioma cell viability, migration, clonogenicity, and spheroid formation. RNA-seq analysis demonstrated downregulated expression of Hedgehog and Wnt pathway genes in NC;Pak2-/- mesothelioma cells versus NC;Pak2+/+ mesothelioma cells. Targeting of the Hedgehog signaling component Gli1 or its target gene Myc inhibited cell viability and spheroid formation in NC;P+/+ mesothelioma cells. Kinome profiling uncovered kinase changes indicative of EMT in NC;Pak2-/- mesothelioma cells, suggesting that Pak2-deficient malignant mesotheliomas can adapt by reprogramming their kinome in the absence of Pak activity. The identification of such compensatory pathways offers opportunities for rational combination therapies to circumvent resistance to anti-PAK drugs.

"Immunogenic subtype" characterised by macrophages infiltration predominantly comprise meningiomas in neurofibromatosis type 2 patients

Project description:Aims: Whereas recent molecular analysis has revealed that sporadic meningioma has various genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptomic profiles, those of meningioma in NF2 patients are not fully elucidated. This study probed meningiomas' clinical, histological, and molecular characteristics in NF2 patients. Methods: A long-term retrospective follow-up (13.5 ± 5.5 years) study involving 159 meningiomas in NF2 patients was performed. We assessed their characteristics by performing immunohistochemistry (IHC), bulk-RNA sequencing, and copy number analysis. All variables of meningiomas in NF2 patients were compared with those of 189 sporadic NF2-altered meningiomas. Results: Most meningiomas in NF2 patients were stable, and the mean annual growth rate was 1.0 ± 1.8 cm3/yr. Twenty-eight meningiomas (17.6%) in 25 patients (43.1%) were resected during the follow-up period. WHO grade 1 meningiomas in NF2 patients` were more frequent than in sporadic NF2-altered meningiomas (92.9% vs 80.9%). Transcriptomic analysis for NF2 patients`/sporadic NF2-altered WHO grade 1 meningiomas (n = 14 versus 15, respectively) showed that tumours in NF2 patients had still higher immune response and immune cell infiltration than sporadic NF2-altered meningiomas. Furthermore, RNA-seq/IHC-derived immunophenotyping corroborated this higher immune response by identifying myeloid cell infiltration, especially macrophages. Conclusions: Clinical, histological, and transcriptomic analyses for meningiomas in NF2 patients demonstrated that meningiomas in NF2 patients showed less aggressive behaviour than sporadic NF2-altered meningiomas and elicited marked immune response by identifying myeloid cell infiltration, especially macrophages.

YAP/TAZ inhibition induces metabolic and signaling rewiring resulting in new targetable vulnerabilities in NF2-deficient tumor cells

Project description:The NF2 gene, which encodes the Merlin protein, is a bona fide tumor suppressor whose mutations underlie inherited tumor syndrome Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2). Recent large-scale genome sequencing studies have also identified NF2 as one of the most frequently mutated genes in VHL-wild-type kidney cancers. Even though a wide array of downstream signaling pathways has been described for Merlin/NF2, the molecular mechanisms underpinning the growth and survival of NF2 mutant tumors remain poorly understood. Using an inducible orthotopic kidney tumor model, we demonstrate for the first time that silencing of YAP/TAZ is sufficient to induce regression of pre-established NF2 deficient kidney tumors. Mechanistically, we show that YAP/TAZ ablation severely diminishes glycolysis by downregulating the transcription of several glycolytic enzymes and growth factors and RTK-PI3K-AKT signaling, resulting in growth arrest. On the other hand, YAP/TAZ depletion significantly increases mitochondrial respiration and overproduction of mitochondrial ROS, resulting in redox imbalance and oxidative stress cell death when challenged by nutrient stress. Furthermore, we identify lysosome-mediated cAMP-PKA/EPACdependent activation of the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway to be a novel resistance mechanism that allows NF2 deficient tumor cells to survive YAP/TAZ inhibition in vitro and in vivo. Finally, unbiased analysis of TCGA primary kidney tumor transcriptomes confirms strong correlations of a YAP/TAZ signature with the expression of glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation and lysosomal genes, validating the clinical relevance of our findings.

The protective role of the HSP90 inhibitor, STA-9090, in lungs of SARS-CoV-2-infected Syrian golden hamsters

Project description:The emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants, capable of escaping the humoral immunity acquired by the available vaccines, together with waning immunity and vaccine hesitancy, challenges the efficacy of the vaccination strategy in fighting COVID-19. Improved therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to better intervene particularly in severe cases of the disease. They should aim at controlling the hyper-inflammatory state generated upon infection, reducing lung tissue pathology, and inhibiting viral replication. Previous research has pointed to a possible role for the chaperone HSP90 in SARS-CoV-2 replication and COVID-19 pathogenesis. Pharmacological intervention through HSP90 inhibitors was shown to be beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, infections and reducing replication of diverse viruses. In this study, we investigated the effects of the potent HSP90 inhibitor Ganetespib in vitro on alveolar epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages to characterize its effects on cell activation and viral replication. Additionally, the Syrian hamster animal model was used to evaluate its efficacy in controlling systemic inflammation and viral burden after infection in vivo. In vitro, Ganetespib reduced viral replication on alveolar epithelial cells in a dose-dependent manner and lowered significantly the expression of pro-inflammatory genes, in both alveolar epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages. In vivo, although no reduction in viral load was observed, administration of Ganetespib led to an overall improvement of the clinical condition of infected animals, with decreased systemic inflammation, reduced edema formation and lung tissue pathology. Altogether, we show that Ganetespib could be a potential treatment option for moderate and severe cases of COVID-19.

Gene expression changes in HEI-193 (NF2-deficient Schwannoma) cells by NF2-restoring or TEW7197 treatment.

Project description:Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) syndrome is a very rare human genetic disease and until now, it’s proper treatment has not been suggested. In our recent study, it has been reported that the loss of NF2 activates MAPK signaling through reduction of RKIP in a mesothelioma model. Here, we show that loss of NF2 induces reduction of the TGF-β receptor 2 (TβR2) expression and an overwhelming expression of TGF-β receptor 1 is activated by physical stimuli such as pressure or heavy materials. Activated TR1 induced the phosphorylation and degradation of RKIP. RKIP reduction consequently results in MAPK activation as well as Snail-mediated p53 suppression and occurrence of EMT in NF2-deficient cells by physical stimuli. Thus, TβR1 kinase inhibitors restore cell differentiation and induce growth suppression in NF2 deficient Schwannoma cell line and MEF. Moreover, TEW7197, a specific TβR1 kinase inhibitor, reduces tumor formation in the NF2-model mouse (Postn-Cre;NF2f/f). Gene expression profiling reveals that TEW7197-treatment induces the expression of lipid metabolism-related gene set such as NF2-restored cells in HEI-193 (NF2-deficient Schwannoma). Our results indicate that reduction or deletion of TβR2 or NF2 induces the TβR1-mediated oncogenic pathway, and therefore inhibition of the unbalanced TGF-β signaling is a putative strategy for NF2-related cancers (NF2 syndrome and mesothelioma) and TβR2 mutated advanced cancers. To know the global effect of TEW7197, we performed the microarray with HEI-193.

Effect of PDD00017273 and GSK2606414 on MZ1-induced cell death

Project description:Targeted protein degradation is a groundbreaking modality in drug discovery ; however, further improvement of the degradation efficacy is demanded. Here, we identify small molecules that enhance the targeted degradation of the anticancer target BRD4 and related hard-to-degrade targets BRD2/3 induced by CRL2VHL- or CRL4CRBN -based PROTACs. The chemicals include inhibitors of cellular signaling pathways such as poly-ADP ribosylation (PARG inhibitor PDD00017273), unfolded protein response (PERK inhibitor GSK2606414), and protein stabilization (HSP90 inhibitor luminespib). Mechanistically, PARG inhibition promotes TRIP12-mediated K29/K48-linked branched ubiquitylation of BRD4 by facilitating chromatin dissociation of BRD4 and formation of the BRD4–PROTAC– CRL2VHL ternary complex; by contrast, HSP90 inhibition promotes BRD4 degradation after the ubiquitylation step. Consequently, these signal inhibitors sensitize cells to the PROTAC-induced apoptosis. Combining the treatment with these chemicals further increases the efficacy of a highly potent PROTAC, SIM1. We propose that various cell intrinsic signaling pathways spontaneously counteract chemically induced target degradation, which can be liberated by specific inhibitors.

Gene expression changes in HEI-193 (NF2-deficient Schwannoma) cells by Nf18001 or TEW7197 treatment.

Project description:Loss of NF2 (merlin) has been suggested as a genetic cause of neurofibromatosis type 2 and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST). Previously, we demonstrated that NF2 sustained TGF- receptor 2 (TR2) expression and reduction or loss of NF2 activated non-canonical TGF- signaling, which reduced RKIP expression via TR1 kinase activity. Here, we show that a selective RKIP inducer (novel chemical, Nf18001) inhibits tumor growth and promotes schwannoma cell differentiation into mature Schwann cells under NF2-deficient conditions. In addition, Nf18001 is not cytotoxic to cells expressing NF2 and is not disturb canonical TGF- signaling. Moreover, the novel chemical induces expression of SOX10, a marker of differentiated Schwann cells, and promotes nuclear export and degradation of SOX2, a stem cell factor. Treatment with Nf18001 inhibited tumor growth in an allograft model with mouse schwannoma cells. These results strongly suggest that selective RKIP inducers could be useful for the treatment of neurofibromatosis type 2 as well as NF2-deficient MPNST. To know the global effect of Nf18001, we performed the microarray with HEI-193.
