Kinome-wide chemoproteomics characterization of pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazols as potent and selective inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase 3

ABSTRACT: Glycogen synthase kinase 3 has evolutionarily conserved roles in cell signaling and metabolism and is a recognized drug target in neurological pathologies, most prominently bipolar disorder. More recently it has been suggested that GSK3 may be a target for the treatment of trypanosomatid parasite infections, e.g. with T. brucei, due to the lethal phenotype observed in parasite GSK3 short RNAi knockdown experiments. Here we investigated the kinome selectivity of a library of pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazol inhibitors that were developed against T. brucei GSK3 but that also interact with the human orthologue and other protein kinases. We applied label-free MS-based kinome chemoproteomics profiling with kinobeads to obtain the selectivity profiles of all 39 library members against 217 human protein and lipid kinases. This allowed us to study the structure-activity relationship of the library members as well as the chemical genetic relationships between kinase targets. As a result, we identified a novel and highly selective HsGSK3 inhibitor containing a 2-chloroaniline-substituted squaric acid amide pharmacophore that confers low nanomolar (IC50 = 2.8 nM) and sub-micromolar potency against purified and cellular HsGSK3. The inhibitor will be useful as a new lead for GSK3 inhibitor development and as a chemical genetic probe to study roles of GSK3 in cell signaling.

Project description:There is an unmet need for chemical tools to explore the role of the Mediator complex in human pathologies ranging from cancer to cardiovascular disease. Here we determine that CCT251545 a WNT-pathway inhibitor discovered by cell-based screening is a potent and selective chemical probe for the Mediator complex-associated protein kinases CDK8 and CDK19. CCT251545 is an ATP competitive inhibitor with >100-fold selectivity over 291 other kinases. X-ray crystallography demonstrates Type 1 binding involving insertion of the CDK8 C-terminus into the ligand binding site. In contrast to Type II inhibitors of CDK8/19 CCT251545 displays potent cell-based activity. We show that CCT251545 and close analogues not only alter WNT-pathway regulated gene expression but also other CDK8/19 targets including STAT1-regulated gene expression. Consistent with this we find that phospho-STAT1SER727 is a biomarker of CDK8 kinase activity in vitro and in vivo. Finally we demonstrate in vivo activity of CCT251545 in WNT-dependent tumours. Compound 1,2, 6 and 9 are close analogues of a 3,4,5-trisubstituted pyridine series identified from a high-throughput cell-based reporter assay of WNT signalling. They were shown to be potent and selective inhibitors of the Mediator complex-associated protein kinases CDK8 and CDK19. They are ATP competitive inhibitors with >100-fold selectivity over 291 other kinases. X-ray crystallography demonstrates Type 1 binding involving insertion of the CDK8 C-terminus into the ligand-binding site. A 3D culture model of murine intestinal-derived organoids expressing a transgenic doxycycline-inducible mutant beta-catenin expression following removal of doxycycline results in reduced WNT signalling and was compared to treatment for 24 hours with coumpound 2, 6 and 9. Compound 2 (n=3), compound 6 (n=4), compound 9 (n=3), doxycycline removal (n=4), doxycycline treatment (n=7). Samples were hybridized agianst mouse reference.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is heterogeneous with patients exhibiting at least two molecular subtypes, basal-like (BL) and claudin-low (CL). MEK inhibitor (MEKi) treatment of BL and CL cell lines and mouse model tumors induced subtype-specific alterations in overall kinome activity referred to as protein kinase reprogramming. BL- and CL-specific reprogramming involving increases in receptor tyrosine kinases was also seen in TNBC patients comparing tumor samples before and after a one week treatment with the MEKi, trametinib. Combination of kinase inhibitors targeted to the BL and CL reprogrammed signatures would need to be individually selected due to the heterogeneous resiliency of BL and CL kinomes. To overcome this “reprogramming dilemma” we targeted the transcriptional co-activator BRD4 with BET bromodomain inhibitors, JQI and IBET151; both strongly inhibited kinome reprogramming and onset of MEKi resistance in BL and CL cells. Targeting chromatin modifiers may therapeutically block resistance due to kinome reprogramming.BL and CL TNBC are commonly treated as a single disease despite genomic studies showing they represent distinct molecular subtypes1. Recent Cancer Genome Atlas data demonstrated that the 518 protein kinases in the human genome (the kinome) were infrequently mutated in BL breast cancer; however, EGFR, KRAS and BRAF were amplified in 22, 32 and 31% of BL tumors, respectively. These findings are consistent with frequent activation of the BRAF-MEK-ERK pathway in TNBC2,3 and inhibitors targeting kinases in this pathway are currently in clinical trials for TNBC. As single agents, targeted kinase inhibitors generally fail to sustain durable responses when used to treat a range of human cancers including TNBC4-6. Onset of kinase inhibitor resistance can be due to selection of mutations in the targeted kinase7,8, activating mutations or amplification of RAS or downstream kinases9,10 or kinome reprogramming, a process in which there are system-wide changes in kinase networks11-13. Each of these resistance mechanisms allows the cancer cell to circumvent the targeted inhibition of specific kinases14. We previously developed chemical, proteomic methods that assay the activation state of protein kinases en masse15,16. Our methods utilize ¬Multiplexed Inhibitor Beads (MIBs), mixtures of covalently immobilized, linker adapted, kinase inhibitors. The immobilized inhibitors are primarily type I kinase inhibitors that preferentially bind activated (versus inactive) kinase17. Kinase capture is highly reproducible and is a function of kinase affinity for different immobilized inhibitors as well as the kinase activation state. Activated kinases preferentially bind, inactive kinases do not. By coupling MIB capture with mass spectrometry (MIB/MS), the technique allows quantitative interrogation of hundreds of kinases in a single mass spectrometry run. This also interrogates kinases known by sequence but which have been understudied due to lack of reagents such as specific phospho-antibodies. We report here both in preclinical models and patients that BL and CL TNBC have different baseline kinome activation states and both respond differently to MEKi with subtype-specific tyrosine kinase reprogramming. To avoid treatment strategy that uses multiple kinase inhibitors in individual patients, we discovered a novel pharmacologic strategy to block the initial reprogramming response to MEKi involving inhibition of epigenetic processes.
