Project description:Bromodomains (BRDs) have emerged as compelling targets for cancer therapy. The development of selective and potent BET (bromo and extra-terminal) inhibitors and their significant activity in diverse tumor models have rapidly translated into clinical studies and have motivated drug development efforts targeting non-BET BRDs. However, the complex multidomain/subunit architecture of BRD protein complexes complicates predictions of the consequences of their pharmacological targeting. To address this issue, we developed a promiscuous BRD inhibitor [bromosporine (BSP)] that broadly targets BRDs (including BETs) with nanomolar affinity, creating a tool for the identification of cellular processes and diseases where BRDs have a regulatory function. As a proof of principle, we studied the effects of BSP on leukemic cell lines known to be sensitive to BET inhibition and found, as expected, strong antiproliferative activity. Comparison of the modulation of transcriptional profiles by BSP after a short exposure to the inhibitor resulted in a BET inhibitor signature but no significant additional changes in transcription that could account for inhibition of other BRDs. Thus, nonselective targeting of BRDs identified BETs, but not other BRDs, as master regulators of context-dependent primary transcription response.

Cells were seeded the day prior to treatment at 2x10^5 per ml. Treatments were performed so that a final concentration of 0.1 % DMSO (Cat.#D1435; Sigma) was achieved and cells were incubated with DMSO or 500 nM test compound (BSP, JQ1, LP99, GSK2801, iCBP112 or OF1) for 6 h prior to isolation of RNA. Total RNA was isolated using a standard TRIzol (Invitrogen) protocol and prepared using RNeasy columns (Cat.#74106 plus; Qiagen). RNA was quantified using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer (model ND1000; Thermo Fisher) and integrity assessed on a BioAnalyzer (2100; Agilent Laboratories, USA). All samples had a RNA Integrity Number (RIN) ⥠9. Biological triplicates were performed for each condition tested.

Project description:Inhibitors of Bromodomain and Extra Terminal (BET) proteins are investigated for various therapeutic indications, but selectivity for BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, BRDT and their respective tandem bromodomains BD1 and BD2 remains suboptimal. Here we report selectivity-focused structural modifications of previously reported dihydropyridine lactam 6 by changing linker length and linker type of the lactam side chain in efforts to engage the unique arginine 54 (R54) residue in BRDT-BD1 to achieve BRDT-selective affinity. We found that the analogs were highly selective for BET bromodomains, and generally more selective for the first (BD1) and second (BD2) bromodomains of BRD4 rather than for those of BRDT. Based on AlphaScreen and BromoScan results and on crystallographic data for analog 10 j, we concluded that the lack of selectivity for BRDT is most likely due to the high flexibility of the protein and the unfavorable trajectory of the lactam side chain that do not allow interaction with R54. A 15-fold preference for BD2 over BD1 in BRDT was observed for analogs 10 h and 10 m, which was supported by protein-based 19 F NMR experiments with a BRDT tandem bromodomain protein construct.

Project description:Targeting bromodomains (BRDs) of the bromo-and-extra-terminal (BET) family offers opportunities for therapeutic intervention in cancer and other diseases. Here, we profile the interactomes of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRDT following treatment with the pan-BET BRD inhibitor JQ1, revealing broad rewiring of the interaction landscape, with three distinct classes of behavior for the 603 unique interactors identified. A group of proteins associate in a JQ1-sensitive manner with BET BRDs through canonical and new binding modes, while two classes of extra-terminal (ET)-domain binding motifs mediate acetylation-independent interactions. Last, we identify an unexpected increase in several interactions following JQ1 treatment that define negative functions for BRD3 in the regulation of rRNA synthesis and potentially RNAPII-dependent gene expression that result in decreased cell proliferation. Together, our data highlight the contributions of BET protein modules to their interactomes allowing for a better understanding of pharmacological rewiring in response to JQ1.

Project description:In this paper, we report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of the first selective bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) BD1 bromodomains of the PET radiotracer [18F]PB006. The standard compound PB006 showed high affinity and good selectivity toward BRD4 BD1 (K d = 100 nM and 29-fold selectively for BD1 over BD2) in an in vitro binding assay. PET imaging experiments in rodents were performed to evaluate the bioactivity of [18F]PB006 in vivo. A biodistribution study of [18F]PB006 in mice revealed high radiotracer uptake in peripheral tissues, such as liver and kidney, and moderate radiotracer uptake in the brain. Further blocking studies demonstrated the significant radioactivity decreasing (20-30% reduction compared with baseline) by pretreating unlabeled PB006 and JQ1, suggesting the high binding selectivity and specificity of [18F]PB006. Our study indicated that [18F]PB006 is a potent PET probe selectively targeting BET BD1, and further structural optimization of the radiotracer is still required to improve brain uptake to support neuroepigenetic imaging.
