Small molecule activation of a pseudoexon triggers huntingtin-lowering (AmpliSeq)

Project description:Huntington’s disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by abnormal expansion of cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) trinucleotide repeats in the huntingtin gene (HTT). The resultant mutant protein is ubiquitously expressed and drives pathogenesis of HD through a toxic gain-of-function mechanism. Animal models of HD have demonstrated that reducing huntingtin protein (HTT) levels alleviates HD-associated motor and neuropathological abnormalities, confirming the importance of huntingtin-lowering as a therapeutic approach. Several therapies in development repress HTT transcription or translation, including antisense oligonucleotides, virally-delivered microRNAs, and zinc finger protein transcription factors. However, they all require invasive procedures to reach the central nervous system (CNS) and do not distribute evenly to target areas in the brain. Systemically distributed therapeutics are needed to address the CNS and peripheral dysfunctions associated with HD. Here we report the discovery of small molecule splicing modifiers that lower HTT expression by selective modulation of pre-mRNA splicing. These compounds promote the inclusion of a pseudoexon containing a premature termination codon triggering HTT mRNA degradation and a reduction of HTT protein levels in vitro and in vivo. These orally bioavailable small molecules represent a non-invasive treatment option for HD and our findings support their continued development for the treatment of HD.

Small molecule-induced polymerization triggers degradation of BCL6

Project description:Most small-molecule protein degraders act as interface stabilizers ‘molecular glues’ between E3 ubiquitin ligases and target proteins to induce ternary complex formation and ubiquitin-dependent target protein degradation. Here we report polymerization as a novel mechanism for small molecule-induced degradation. Using functional screens in combination with molecular and biochemical assays, we found that BI-3802, which binds to the BTB domain of the oncogenic transcription factor BCL6, induces polymerization of BCL6 into regular helical structures in vitro and foci in vivo. Polymerization precedes degradation by the SIAH1 E3 ubiquitin ligase. Hereby, a VxP amino acid motif on BCL6, distal from the drug-binding BTB domain, is required for SIAH1 binding, ubiquitination and BI-3802-induced degradation. Our findings propose that small molecule-induced polymerization is not only a new modality for targeted protein degradation, but also provides synthetic biology with a tool for tunable protein polymerization and opens new avenues for future drug design.

Huntingtin Lowering Strategies.

Project description:Trials using antisense oligonucleotide technology to lower Huntingtin levels in Huntington's disease (HD) are currently ongoing. This progress, taking place only 27 years after the identification of the Huntingtin gene (HTT) in 1993 reflects the enormous development in genetic engineering in the last decades. It is also the result of passionate basic scientific work and large worldwide registry studies that have advanced the understanding of HD. Increased knowledge of the pathophysiology of this autosomal dominantly inherited CAG-repeat expansion mediated neurodegenerative disease has led to the development of several putative treatment strategies, currently under investigation. These strategies span the whole spectrum of potential targets from genome editing via RNA interference to promoting protein degradation. Yet, recent studies revealed the importance of huntingtin RNA in the pathogenesis of the disease. Therefore, huntingtin-lowering by means of RNA interference appears to be a particular promising strategy. As a matter of fact, these approaches have entered, or are on the verge of entering, the clinical trial period. Here, we provide an overview of huntingtin-lowering approaches via DNA or RNA interference in present clinical trials as well as strategies subject to upcoming therapeutic options. We furthermore discuss putative implications for future treatment of HD patients.

Lowering mutant huntingtin by small molecules relieves Huntington's disease symptoms and progression

Project description:Huntington's disease (HD) is an incurable inherited disorder caused by a repeated expansion of glutamines in the huntingtin gene (Htt). The mutant protein causes neuronal degeneration leading to severe motor and psychological symptoms. Selective downregulation of the mutant Htt gene product is considered the most promising therapeutic approach for HD. We report the identification of small molecule inhibitors of Spt5- Pol II, SPI-24 and SPI-77, which selectively lower mutant Htt mRNA and protein levels in HD cells. In the BACHD mouse model, their direct delivery to the striatum diminished mutant Htt levels, ameliorated mitochondrial dysfunction, restored BDNF expression, and improved motor and anxiety-like phenotypes. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that these SPIs pass the blood-brain-barrier and prolonged subcutaneous injection or oral administration to early-stage mice significantly delayed disease deterioration. SPI-24 long-term treatment had no side effects or global changes in gene expression. Thus, lowering mutant Htt levels by small molecules can be an effective therapeutic strategy for HD.
