Directed Evolution of Genetically Encoded LYTACs for Cell-Mediated Delivery

ABSTRACT: Lysosome-targeting chimeras (LYTACs) are a promising therapeutic modality to drive the degradation of extracellular proteins. However, early versions of LYTAC contain synthetic glycopeptides that cannot be genetically encoded. Here we present our designs for a fully genetically encodable LYTAC (GELYTAC), making our tool compatible with integration into therapeutic cells for targeted delivery at diseased sites. To achieve this, we replaced the glycopeptide portion of LYTACs with the protein insulin like growth factor 2 (IGF2). After showing initial efficacy with wild type IGF2, we increased the potency of GELYTAC using directed evolution. Subsequently, we demonstrated that our engineered GELYTAC construct not only secretes from HEK293T cells but also from human primary T-cells to drive the uptake of various targets into receiver cells. Immune cells engineered to secrete GELYTAC thus represent a promising avenue for spatially-selective targeted protein degradation.

Therapeutic application of circular RNA aptamers in a mouse model of psoriasis

Project description:Efforts to advance RNA aptamers as a novel therapeutic modality have been limited by their susceptibilty to degradation and immunogenicity. In a previous study, we demonstrated synthesized double-stranded circular RNAs (ds-cRNAs) with minimal immunogenicity targeted to dsRNA-activated Protein Kinase R (PKR). Here, we test the therapeutic potential of ds-cRNAs in a mouse model of imiquimod-induced psoriasis. We find that genetic supplementation of ds-cRNAs leads to inhibition of PKR, resulting in alleviation of downstream interferon alpha (IFNα)/dsRNA signals and attenuation of psoriasis phenotypes. Delivery of ds-cRNAs by lipid nanoparticles to the spleen attenuates PKR activity in examined splenocytes, resulting in reduced epidermal thickness. These findings suggest that ds-cRNAs represent a promising approach to mitigate excessive PKR activation for therapeutic purposes.

Transcriptome comparison of monocytes, activated CD4 T cells, and activated CD8 T cells in healthy human peripheral blood

Project description:Molecular tether-mediated extracellular targeted protein degradation (ePTD) emerges as a promising drug modality. The existing strategies for ePTD have exploited several membrane degrader proteins. However, the current panel of ePTD degraders clearly needs to be expanded, as a given degrader may present tissue-dependent expression and activity. Based on screening of >50 receptors on endocytic rates and on their tissue distribution, we established a resource of potential endocytic carriers that may mediate effective ePTD. We subsequently introduced an adaptable design to assemble “Selected endocytic carrier-targeting chimera (SecTAC)” based on bispecific antibody constructs. The resultant modular chimeras, by co-opting newly identified degraders, directed efficient internalization of extracellular protein cargoes (or nucleic acids). Importantly, shaped by the availability of the corresponding endocytic carrier, the output of a SecTAC could present cell subset selectivity. We also validated the therapeutic potential of SecTAC agents for targeting several cell membrane proteins in tumor cells and primary T cells. Furthermore, we adapted the platform to establish multi-cargo tethers that triggered simultaneous degradation of two cell surface proteins in primary T cells. Taken together, our SecTAC platform has laid the foundation for development of preclinical drug candidates capable of inducing extracellular and membrane target degradation in desirable population of cells.

Homology mediated end joining enables efficient non-viral targeted integration of large DNA templates in primary human T cells

Project description:Adoptive cellular therapy using genetically engineered immune cells holds tremendous promise for the treatment of advanced cancers. While the number of available receptors targeting tumor specific antigens continues to grow, the current reliance on viral vectors for clinical production of engineered immune cells remains a substantial bottleneck limiting translation of promising new therapies. Here, we describe an optimized methodology for efficient CRISPR-Cas9 based, non-viral engineering of primary human T cells that overcomes key limitations of previous approaches. By synergizing temporal optimization of reagent delivery, reagent composition, and integration mechanism, we achieve targeted integration of large DNA cargo at efficiencies nearing those of viral vector platforms with minimal toxicity. CAR-T cells generated using our approach are highly functional and elicit potent anti-tumor cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, our method is readily adaptable to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and clinical scale-up, offering a near-term alternative to the use of viral vectors for production of genetically engineered T cells for cancer immunotherapy.

Discovery of a molecular glue promoting CDK12-DDB1 interaction to trigger Cyclin K degradation [CRISPR]

Project description:Molecular glues are small molecules that exert their biologic or therapeutic activities by inducing gain-of-function interactions between pairs of proteins. In particular, molecular-glue degraders, which mediate interactions between target proteins and components of the ubiquitin proteasome system to cause targeted protein degradation, hold great promise as a unique modality for therapeutic targeting of proteins that are currently intractable. Here, we report a new molecular glue HQ461 discovered by high-throughput screening of small molecules that inhibited NRF2 activity. Using unbiased loss-of-function and gain-of-function genetic screening followed by biochemical reconstitution, we show that HQ461 acts by promoting interaction between CDK12 and DDB1-CUL4-RBX1 E3 ubiquitin ligase, leading to polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of CDK12’s interacting protein Cyclin K (CCNK). Degradation of CCNK mediated by HQ461 compromised CDK12 function, leading to reduced phosphorylation of CDK12 substrate, downregulation of DNA damage response genes, and cell death. Structure-activity relationship analysis of HQ461 revealed the importance of a 5-methylthiazol-2-amine pharmacophore and resulted in an HQ461 derivate with improved potency. Our studies reveal a new molecular glue that engages its target protein directly with DDB1 to bypass the requirement of a substrate-specific receptor, presenting a new strategy for targeted protein degradation.

STAG2 is a clinically relevant tumor suppressor in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Project description:STAG2 is targeted by somatic aberrations in a subset (4%) of human PDAs. Transposon mediated disruption of STAG2 in a KRASG12D genetically engineered mouse model promotes the development of PDA and its progression to metastatic disease. There was a statistically significant loss of STAG2 protein expression in human tumor tissue (Wilcoxon-Rank test) with complete absence of STAG2 staining observed in 15 (4.3%) patients. In univariate Kaplan Meier analysis nearly complete STAG2 positive staining (> 95% of nuclei positive) was associated with a median survival benefit of 6.41 months (p = 0.031). The survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy was only seen in patients with a STAG2 staining of less than 95% (median survival benefit 7.65 months; p = 0.028). Multivariate Cox Regression analysis showed that STAG2 is an independent prognostic factor for survival in pancreatic cancer patients. Finally we show that RNAi mediated knockdown of STAG2 selectively sensitizes human PDA cell lines to platinum-based therapy. We used DNA content flow sorting to identify and purify tumor nuclei of PDA samples from 50 patients. The genome of each sorted sample was profiled by oligonucleotide comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and targeted resequencing of STAG2. Transposon insertions within STAG2 in a KRASG12D driven genetically engineered mouse (GEM) model of PDA were screened by RT-PCR. We then used a tissue microarray (TMA) to survey STAG2 protein expression levels in 344 human PDA tumor samples and adjacent tissues. Univariate Kaplan Meier analysis and multivariate Cox Regression analysis was used to assess the association of STAG2 expression relative to overall survival and responses to adjuvant therapy. Finally RNAi based assays with PDA cell lines were used to assess the potential therapeutic consequence of STAG2 expression in responses to 18 therapeutic agents.

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.
