PBRM1 deficiency is synthetic lethal with PARP inhibitors in human cancers

ABSTRACT: Polybromo-1 (PBRM1), which encodes a specific subunit of the pBAF chromatin remodeling complex, is inactivated in multiple malignancies including 50% of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. At present, a therapeutic strategy that selectively targets PBRM1 defects does not exist. PBRM1 is involved in multiple cellular processes including transcription, replication and DNA repair. Using high-throughput screens and multiple isogenic and non-isogenic models, we found that PBRM1 defects cause synthetic lethality with several clinical PARP inhibitors, both in vitro and in vivo. This effect was enhanced using combinations with either small molecule ATR or BET inhibitors. Mechanistically, PBRM1 defects caused increased replication stress, R-loop formation and genomic instability that was exacerbated by PARP inhibitors. We also found that PARP and ATR inhibitors activate the cGAS-STING innate immunity pathway in PBRM1-deficient but not in PBRM1-proficient cells. These data provide the pre-clinical rationale for assessing PARP inhibitors as a monotherapy or in combination with ATR inhibitors or immune checkpoint inhibitors, in patients with PBRM1-deficient cancers.

Cancer-associated FBXW7 loss is synthetic lethal with pharmacological targeting of CDC

Project description:The FBXW7 tumour suppressor is commonly mutated, deleted or hypermethylated in a variety of cancer histologies. The tumour suppressive role of the FBXW7 protein has been ascribed to its ability to drive the ubiquitination and degradation of oncoproteins via its role as a substrate recognition subunit of SCF complexes that mediate E3 ubiquitin ligation. Despite this molecular understanding, therapeutic approaches that target tumoural FBXW7 defects do not exist. To identify candidate vulnerabilities put in place by FBXW7 dysfunction, we carried out genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens, focussed RNA interference screens and whole proteome mass spectrometry profiling in multiple FBXW7 wild type and defective isogenic cell systems. These identified candidate FBXW7 synthetic lethal effects, including those involving SCF-related proteins (e.g. CAND1), proteins involved in the response to replication fork stress (ATR, RAD9A and CHEK1) and also proteins involved in replication licencing such as CDC7 and its substrate GINS4. The ATR, CHEK1 and CDC7 synthetic lethal effects were confirmed using drug-like small molecule inhibitors. Integration of proteomic profiling data indicated that FBXW7 defective cells express elevated levels of the replication factor RIF1. Functional experiments showed that FBXW7 vs. CDC7 synthetic lethality is RIF1 dependent and explained by RIF1 being required for CDC7 inhibitor-induced replication fork stalling. The delineation of FBXW7 synthetic lethal effects we describe here could serve as the starting point for subsequent drug discovery and/or development in this area.

A HUWE1 defect causes PARP inhibitor resistance by modulating the BRCA1-∆11q splice variant

Project description:Although PARP inhibitors (PARPi) now form part of the standard-of-care for the treatment of homologous recombination defective cancers, de novo and acquired resistance limits their overall effectiveness. Previously, overexpression of the BRCA1-∆11q splice variant has been shown to cause PARPi resistance. How cancer cells achieve increased BRCA1-∆11q expression has remained unclear. Using isogenic cells with different BRCA1 mutations, we show that reduction in HUWE1 leads to increased levels of BRCA1-∆11q and PARPi resistance. This effect is specific to cells able to express BRCA1-∆11q (e.g. BRCA1 exon 11 mutant cells) and is not seen in BRCA1 mutants that cannot express BRCA1-∆11q, nor in BRCA2 mutant cells. As well as increasing levels of BRCA1-∆11q protein in exon 11 mutant cells, HUWE1 silencing also restores RAD51 nuclear foci and platinum salt resistance. HUWE1 catalytic domain mutations were also seen in a case of PARPi resistant, BRCA1 exon 11 mutant, high grade serous ovarian cancer. These results suggest how elevated levels of BRCA1-∆11q and PARPi resistance can be achieved, identify HUWE1 as a candidate biomarker of PARPi resistance for assessment in future clinical trials and illustrate how some PARPi resistance mechanisms may only operate in patients with particular BRCA1 mutations.

PPP2R1A mutations cause ATR inhibitor synthetic lethality in ARID1A deficient ovarian clear cell carcinoma

Project description:Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a cancer of unmet need characterized by ARID1A mutation. Prior work identified an ARID1A/ATR synthetic lethality, information that led to phase II clinical trials. Using genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis and interference screens, we identified protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) subunits, including PPP2R1A, as determinants of ATRi sensitivity in ARID1A mutant OCCC. Analysis of an OCCCs cohort indicated that >1/3 possessed both PPP2R1A and ARID1A loss-of-function mutations. CRISPR-prime editing demonstrated that oncogenic PPP2R1A p.R183 missense mutations enhance in vitro and in vivo ATRi sensitivity in ARID1A mutant OCCC. OCCC patients with both ARID1A and PPP2R1A mutations also showed clinical responses to ATRi in a phase II trial. Mechanistically, this synthetic lethal effect is dependent upon WNK1 kinase, which opposes PP2A function. This data suggests that co-occurrence of PPP2R1A and ARID1A mutations in OCCC should be assessed as a biomarker of ATRi response in on-going clinical trials.

Transcriptional modulation by PRMT5 inhibition with EPZ015666 (GSK3235025)

Project description:Aberrant protein arginine methylation has been observed in multiple cancer types, making it an attractive drug target. Proteins can undergo asymmetric arginine methylation by type I protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs), predominately by PRMT1 and to a lesser extent PRMT4, or symmetric arginine methylation by type II PRMTs, predominately PRMT5. Here, we performed targeted proteomics following inhibition of PRMT1, PRMT4, and PRMT5 across cancer cell lines. We found that inhibition of both type I and type II PRMTs suppressed levels of total and phosphorylated ATR protein in cancer cell lines, and down-regulated expression of the ATR gene. Loss of ATR from PRMT inhibition resulted in defective DNA replication stress response activation in following exogenous replication stress. Since PARP inhibitors are known to induce replication stress, we next combined PRMT inhibition with PARP inhibition and found inhibition of PRMT1 or PRMT5 greatly exacerbated PARP inhibitor induced DNA damage. Based on this observation, we assessed the combination of PARP and PRMT inhibition in a panel of cell lines. While inhibition of both type I and type II PRMTs were synergistic with PARP inhibition in both cells with intact and deficient homologous recombination, type I PRMT inhibition resulted in higher toxicity in non-malignant cells. Therefore, we validated the synergy of combined PARP/PRMT5 inhibition in primary patient-derived organoids. Finally, we demonstrate that the combination of PARP and PRMT5 inhibition improves overall survival in both BRCA-mutant and wild-type patient-derived xenograft models without any detectable hematological toxicities typically associated with PARPi combination therapies. Taken together, these results demonstrate that PRMT5 inhibition may be a well-tolerated approach to improve tumor sensitivity to PARP inhibition. .

Inhibition of GPX4 enhances CDK4/6 inhibitor activity in breast cancer.

Project description:CDK4/6 inhibition is the standard of care for estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, although cytostasis is frequently observed, and new treatment strategies that enhance efficacy are required. We performed a genome-wide CRISPR screen to identify genetic determinants of CDK4/6 inhibitors sensitivity. Multiple genes involved in oxidative stress and ferroptosis modulated palbociclib sensitivity. Depletion or inhibition of GPX4 increased sensitivity to palbociclib in ER+ breast cancer models, and sensitised triple negative breast cancer models to palbociclib, with GPX4 null xenografts being highly sensitive to palbociclib. Palbociclib induced oxidative stress and disordered lipid metabolism with lipid peroxidation, leading to a ferroptosis-sensitive state. Lipid peroxidation relied on a peroxisome AGPAT3-dependent pathway in ER+ breast cancer models, rather than the classical ACSL4 pathway. Our data demonstrate that CDK4/6 inhibition creates vulnerability to ferroptosis that could be exploited through combination with GPX4 inhibitors, enhancing sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibition in breast cancer.

Calreticulin mutated hematopoietic cells are vulnerable to ATR-CHK1 pathway inhibition

Project description:Disease frameshift mutations of calreticulin (CALR) are the second most prevalent driver mutations in essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). To identify potential targeted therapies for CALR mutated myeloproliferative neoplasms, we aimed to search for small molecule drugs that selectively inhibit the growth of CALR mutated cells using high-throughput drug screening. We investigated 89,172 compounds using isogenic cell lines and identified several hits targeting the ATR-CHK1 pathway. The selective inhibitory effect of these candidate compounds was validated in a co-culture assay of CALR mutated and wild type cells. Of the tested hit compounds, CHK1 inhibitors potently depleted CALR mutated cells, allowing CALR wild type cell dominance in the co-culture over time. Neither CALR deficient cells nor JAK2V617F mutated cells showed hypersensitivity to the drug treatment, suggesting that the vulnerability to ATR-CHK1 inhibition is specifically caused by the oncogenic activation by the mutant CALR. CHK1 inhibitors induced replication stress in CALR mutated cells revealed by elevated pan-nuclear staining for γH2AX and hyperphosphorylation of RPA2. They also promoted S-phase cell cycle arrest and blocked the completion of DNA replication in CALR mutated cells. Transcriptomic and phosphoproteomic analyses revealed a replication stress signature caused by the oncogenic CALR mutation, suggesting an intrinsic vulnerability of these cells to CHK1 perturbation. This study indicates that ATR-CHK1 pathway is a potential therapeutic target in CALR mutated hematopoietic cells.

IGR_Michels_PARP

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is often treated with cisplatin (CDDP). Here, we report that two distinct poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors exhibited a hyperadditive combination effect with CDDP to kill NSCLC cells. A majority of CDDP-resistant cell lines and clones exhibited constitutively increased PARP expression and enzymatic activity. Cells with hyperactivated PARP initiated a DNA damage response and the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis in response to pharmacological PARP inhibition or PARP1-targeting siRNAs. Transcriptome analysis depicted an unsupervised hierarchical clustering of NSCLC cells and CDDP resistant counterparts regarding to their response to PARP inhibitors. PARP-overexpressing tumors displayed elevated levels of intracellular poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR), which predicted the response to PARP inhibitors in vitro and in vivo more accurately than PARP expression itself. Thus, CDDP-resistant cancer cells develop a dependency to PARP, becoming susceptible to PARP inhibitor-induced apoptosis.

Olaparib resistance and cisplatin responses in triple negative breast cancer

Project description:PARP inhibitor and platinum based drugs such as cisplatin are promising therapies for triple negative breast cancer and exploit the deficiencies in BRCA1 or BRCA2, or homologous recombination repair defects. However, PARP inhibitor resistance is proven to be a major clinical problem. Acquired PARP inhibitor resistance has been linked with co-resistance to platinum-based drugs. To determine how acquired olaparib resistance affects cisplatin response and whether this is influenced by their BRCA1 status, we performed RNAseq transcriptome analysis of isogenic triple negative breast cancer models of olaparib resistance with normal and mutant BRCA1.

ADP-ribosylation Levels Correlate with Gene Expression Patterns and Clinical Outcomes in Ovarian Cancers

Project description:Inhibitors of nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes (e.g., PARP-1) have improved clinical outcomes in ovarian cancer, especially in patients with BRCA1/2 gene mutations or additional homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair pathway deficiencies. These defects serve as biomarkers for response to PARP inhibitors (PARPi). We sought to identify an additional biomarker that could predict responses to both conventional chemotherapy and PARPi in ovarian cancers. We focused on cellular ADP-ribosylation (ADPRylation), which is catalyzed by PARP enzymes and detected by detection reagents we developed previously. We determined molecular phenotypes of 34 high-grade serous ovarian cancers and associated them with clinical outcomes.
