Project description:We investigated the pharmacological effects of the novel highly specific cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor LDC526 and its clinically used derivate atuveciclib employing primary T-PLL cells in an ex vivo drug sensitivity testing platform. All T-PLL samples were sensitive to CDK9 inhibition at submicromolar concentrations while conventional cytotoxic drugs were found to be largely ineffective. At the cellular level LDC526 inhibited the phosphorylation at serine 2 of the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain resulting in decreased de novo RNA transcription. LDC526 induced apoptotic leukemic cell death through down-regulating MYC and MCL1 both at the mRNA and protein level. Microarray based transcriptomic profiling revealed that genes down-modulated in response to CDK9 inhibition were enriched for MYC and JAK-STAT targets. By contrast, CDK9 inhibition increased the expression of the tumor suppressor FBXW7 which may contribute to decreased MYC and MCL1 protein levels. The combination of atuvecliclib and the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax exhibited synergistic anti-leukemic activity, providing the rationale for a novel targeted-agent based treatment of T-PLL.

Project description:T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is an aggressive malignancy characterized by chemotherapy resistance and a median survival of less than 2 years. Here, we investigated the pharmacological effects of the novel highly specific cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor LDC526 and its clinically used derivate atuveciclib employing primary T-PLL cells in an ex vivo drug sensitivity testing platform. Importantly, all T-PLL samples were sensitive to CDK9 inhibition at submicromolar concentrations, while conventional cytotoxic drugs were found to be largely ineffective. At the cellular level LDC526 inhibited the phosphorylation at serine 2 of the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain resulting in decreased de novo RNA transcription. LDC526 induced apoptotic leukemic cell death through down-regulating MYC and MCL1 both at the mRNA and protein level. Microarray-based transcriptomic profiling revealed that genes down-modulated in response to CDK9 inhibition were enriched for MYC and JAK-STAT targets. By contrast, CDK9 inhibition increased the expression of the tumor suppressor FBXW7, which may contribute to decreased MYC and MCL1 protein levels. Finally, the combination of atuvecliclib and the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax exhibited synergistic anti-leukemic activity, providing the rationale for a novel targeted-agent-based treatment of T-PLL.

Project description:CDK9 is the kinase subunit of P-TEFb that enables RNA polymerase (Pol) II to transit from promoter-proximal pausing to productive elongation. Although considerable interest exists in CDK9 as a therapeutic target, little progress has been made due to the lack of highly selective inhibitors. Here, we describe the development of i-CDK9 as such an inhibitor that potently suppresses CDK9 phosphorylation of substrates and causes genome-wide Pol II pausing. While most genes experience reduced expression, MYC and other primary response genes increase expression upon sustained i-CDK9 treatment. Essential for this increase, the bromodomain protein BRD4 captures P-TEFb from 7SK snRNP to deliver to target genes and also enhances CDK9’s activity and resistance to inhibition. Because the i-CDK9-induced MYC expression and binding to P-TEFb compensate for P-TEFb’s loss of activity, only the simultaneous inhibition of CDK9 and MYC can efficiently induce growth arrest and apoptosis of cancer cells, suggesting the potential of a combinatorial treatment strategy.

Project description:In this study, we discovered that CDK9-mediated, RNAPII-driven transcription is functionally opposed by a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) complex that is recruited to transcription sites by the Integrator complex subunit INTS6. PP2A dynamically antagonises phosphorylation of key CDK9 substrates including DSIF and RNAPII-CTD. Loss of INTS6 results in resistance to tumor cell death mediated by CDK9 inhibition, decreased turnover of CDK9 phospho-substrates and amplification of acute cell growth and pro-inflammatory transcriptional responses. Pharmacological PP2A activation synergizes with CDK9 inhibition to kill both leukemic and solid tumor cells, providing therapeutic benefit in vivo. These data demonstrate that finely-tuned gene expression relies on the balance of kinase and phosphatase activity throughout the transcription cycle.

Project description:We report the effects of CDK9 inhibition (AZD4573) on the epigenetic landscape in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). This study utilized chromatin immunoprecipitation with massively parallel DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) to assess genome-wide post-translational histone modifications (H3K27ac and H3K4me3) and DNA occupancy of transcriptional proteins (RNAPII and BRD4) in two DLBCL cell lines, OCI-LY3 and VAL, treated with the CDK9 inhibitor AZD4573 (30 nM). Cells were treated for 0, 3 and 8 hours prior to harvest. After 8-hour exposure, drug was washed out and cells were harvested after 24 hours. We found that CDK9 inhibition led to an increase in RNAPII promoter proximal pausing, and increase in BRD4 enrichment on the promoter, and a decrease in promoter H3K4me3. Treatment induced reprograming of the super-enhancer landscape including loss of super-enhancers next to genes in oncogenic pathways.

Project description:We report the effects of CDK9 inhibition (AZD4573) on the epigenetic landscape in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). This study utilized the Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) to assess genome-wide chromatin accessibility in two DLBCL cell lines, OCI-LY3 and VAL, treated with AZD4573 (30 nM) at 0, 3, and 8 hours. We found that CDK9 inhibition led to gain and loss of accessible chromatin genome-wide, with enrichment of CTCF/BORIS motifs in decreased accesibility regions.

Project description:Targeted treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains an elusive clinical challenge. Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) is a transcriptional regulator shown to promote growth of multiple cancers, including TNBC, and represents a potential new therapeutic target. CDK9 increases RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) activity, which facilitates sustained expression of short-lived oncogenic and anti-apoptotic proteins. However, pre-clinical evaluation of CDK9 as a therapeutic target has been hampered by the poor selectivity of existing CDK9 inhibitors (CDK9i). Here, we report a novel CDK9i; D11-8, which exhibits high potency against CDK9 (Ki = 8 nM) and displays remarkable selectivity over other CDKs and human kinases. D11-8 inhibited TNBC cell line proliferation,, induced G2/M cell cycle arrest, and increased apoptosis. Mechanistically, D11-8 inhibited CDK9; reducing Pol II phosphorylation, down-regulating expression of proto-oncogene MYC and anti-apoptotic marker MCL1, and dramatically inducing Pol II promoter-proximal pausing at MYC, G2/M checkpoint, and E2F2 target genes. D11-8 was further validated for TNBC in vivo, and inhibited TNBC cell line tumour growth without toxicity. To further elucidate the cancer cell specificity of D11-8, normal breast tissue was collected from women undergoing reduction mammoplasty surgery and treated with D11-8 ex vivo as patient-derived explants. High doses of D11-8 (2.7 µM) had no effect on the proliferative capacity of normal breast epithelial cells (Ki67 positivity), and tissues appeared histologically normal. Collectively, these data demonstrate that D11-8 effectively inhibits CDK9 in TNBC cell lines, resulting in growth inhibition without short-term toxicity.
