Project description:BET Bromodomain inhibition is an epigenetic therapy that is being assessed as an anti-cancer strategy. Herein, we report the structure and activity of RG6146, a novel second-generation clinical grade BET inhibitor that was derived by optimization of the prototypical tool compound JQ1. We demonstrate that RG6146 elicits potent anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in multiple pre-clinical models of hematologic malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM) and B-cell lymphoma. We show that the anti-tumor effects of RG6146 correlated with robust modulation of oncogenic transcription that results in suppression of oncogenic transcription factors, such as MYC, as well as direct activation of the intrinsic apoptotic cascade. Subcutaneous or intraperitoneal administration of RG6146 to tumor-bearing mice was well tolerated and led to pronounced anti-tumor responses in both syngeneic and xenograft tumor models, respectively. Finally, we investigated the ability for RG6146 to augment the activity of other targeted therapies in vitro and in vivo, demonstrating clear combination activity with BCL-2 inhibitor Venetoclax and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade. Taken together, our data demonstrates the therapeutic potential of novel pan-BET inhibitor RG6146 in the treatment of hematologic malignancies and highlights multiple mechanism-based combination strategies to enhance anti-tumor activity.

Project description:RNA-seq analysis of Huh7 cells after MAT2A inhibitor (FIDAS-5) or BET bromodomain inhibitor (JQ1) treatment. The analysis revealed that inhibition of MAT2A or BET factors suppresses the expression of genes regulating cell cycle progression and additional cellular programs.

Project description:Dual bromodomain BET inhibitors (DbBi) that bind with similar affinities to the first and second bromodomains across BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRDt only displayed modest activity as monotherapy in clinical trials. Thrombocytopenia, closely followed by symptoms characteristic of GI toxicity, have presented as dose limiting adverse events that may prevented escalation to higher dose levels for more robust efficacy. ABBV-744 is a highly selective inhibitor for the second bromodomain (BD2) of the four BET family proteins. In contrast to the broad antiproliferative activities observed with DbBi, ABBV-744 displayed significant antiproliferative activities largely but not exclusively in cancer cell lines derived from AML and androgen receptor (AR) positive prostate cancer. Studies in AML xenograft models demonstrated anti-tumor efficacy for ABBV-744 that was comparable to the pan-BET inhibitor ABBV-075 but with improved tolerability. Enhanced anti-tumor efficacy was also observed with the combination of ABBV-744 and the Bcl-2 inhibitor, venetoclax (ABT-199) compared to monotherapies of either agent alone. These results collectively support the clinical evaluation of ABBV-744 in AML (Clinical Trials.gov identifier: NCT03360006).

Project description:IL-17-producing T helper (TH17) cells have been selected through evolution for their ability to control fungal and bacterial infections. It is also firmly established that their aberrant generation and activation results in autoimmune conditions. Using a characterized potent and selective small molecule inhibitor, we show that the bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) family of chromatin adaptors plays fundamental and selective roles in human and murine TH17 differentiation from naM-CM-/ve CD4+ T cells, as well as in the activation of previously differentiated TH17 cells. We provide evidence that BET controls TH17 differentiation in a bromodomain-dependent manner through a mechanism that includes the direct regulation of multiple effector TH17-associated cytokines, including IL17, IL21 and GMCSF. We also demonstrate that BET family members Brd2 and Brd4 associate with the Il17 locus in TH17 cells, and that this association requires bromodomains. We recapitulate the critical role of BET bromodomains in TH17 differentiation in vivo and show that therapeutic dosing of the BET inhibitor is efficacious in mouse models of autoimmunity. Our results identify the BET family of proteins as a fundamental link between chromatin signaling and TH17 biology, and support the notion of BET inhibition as a point of therapeutic intervention in autoimmune conditions. 4 samples were analyzed: two conditions in duplicate. Naive T cells were placed in conditions leading to TH17 differentiation, with and without BET inhibitor. RNA was collected at 48 hours.

Project description:MYC-amplified medulloblastomas are highly lethal tumors. BET bromodomain inhibition was recently described to downregulate MYC-associated transcriptional activity in various cancer subtypes. To investigate whether JQ1, a BET bromodomain inhibitor is downregulation MYC and MYC-associated transcriptional activity, we performed global gene expression profiling of five medulloblastomas MYC-amplified patient-derived cell lines treated by JQ1 and the inactive form of JQ1. Five medulloblastomas patient-derived MYC-amplified cell lines were treated with the active and the inactive form of the drug (JQ1S or JQ1R, respectively, 1μM for 24 hours) followed by RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays

Project description:Bromodomain inhibition comprises a promising therapeutic strategy in cancer, particularly for hematologic malignancies. To date, however, genomic biomarkers to direct clinical translation have been lacking. We conducted a cell-based screen of genetically-defined cancer cell lines using a prototypical inhibitor of BET bromodomains. Integration of genetic features with chemosensitivity data revealed a robust correlation between MYCN amplification and sensitivity to bromodomain inhibition. We characterized the mechanistic and translational significance of this finding in neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer with frequent amplification of MYCN. Genome-wide expression analysis demonstrated downregulation of the MYCN transcriptional program accompanied by suppression of MYCN transcription. Functionally, bromodomain-mediated inhibition of MYCN impaired growth and induced apoptosis in neuroblastoma. BRD4 knock-down phenocopied these effects, establishing BET bromodomains as transcriptional regulators of MYCN. BET inhibition conferred a significant survival advantage in three in vivo neuroblastoma models, providing a compelling rationale for developing BET bromodomain inhibitors in patients with neuroblastoma. Significance: Biomarkers of response to small-molecule inhibitors of BET bromodomains, a new compound class with promising anti-cancer activity, have been lacking. Here, we reveal MYCN amplification as a strong genetic predictor of sensitivity to BET bromodomain inhibitors, demonstrate a mechanistic rationale for this finding, and provide a translational framework for clinical trial development of BET bromodomain inhibitors for pediatric patients with MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma. JQ1 is a novel thieno-triazolo-1,4-diazepine, which displaces BET bromodomains from chromatin by competitively binding to the acetyl lysine recognition pocket. BE(2)-C and Kelly cells were treated in triplicate with 1 µM JQ1 or DMSO for 24 hours. RNA was extracted and a decrease in MYCN transcript was confirmed by real time RT-PCR as described above. The samples were profiled using the Affymetrix PrimeView Human Gene Expression Array (Affymetrix) at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Boston, MA, USA).

Project description:Here we report the discovery of ABBV-744, a first in class, highly potent and selective inhibitor of BET family BD2 domains with drug like properties. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that ABBV-744 displaced BRD4 from AR-containing super enhancers and elicited potent inhibition of AR-dependent transcription without causing broad transcription alterations associated with exposure to pan BET inhibitors.
