Project description:Bromodomain-containing proteins are readers of acetylated lysine and play important roles in cancer.1,2 Bromodomain-containing protein 7 (BRD7) has been implicated in multiple malignancies; however, there are no selective chemical probes to study its function in disease.3–13 Using crystal structures of BRD7 and BRD9 bromodomains (BDs) bound to BRD9-selective ligands, we identified a hydrophobic region unique to BRD7. We synthesized a series of ligands designed to occupy this binding region and identified two BRD7-selective inhibitors, 1-78 and 2-77, which show high affinity for the BRD7 BD and selectivity over the BRD9 BD using thermal shift assays and competitive fluorescence polarization. Our binding mode analyses indicate that these ligands occupy the hydrophobic region in BRD7 and maintain key interactions with the Asn and Tyr residues critical for acetyllysine binding. Finally, we validated the utility and selectivity of the compounds in cell-based models of prostate cancer. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of LNCaP cells with or without drug treatment.

Project description:Bromodomain-containing proteins are readers of acetylated lysine and play important roles in cancer. Bromodomain-containing protein 7 (BRD7) is implicated in multiple malignancies; however, there are no selective chemical probes to study its function in disease. Using crystal structures of BRD7 and BRD9 bromodomains (BDs) bound to BRD9-selective ligands, we identified a binding pocket exclusive to BRD7. We synthesized a series of ligands designed to occupy this binding region and identified two inhibitors with increased selectivity toward BRD7, 1-78 and 2-77, which bind with submicromolar affinity to the BRD7 BD. Our binding mode analyses indicate that these ligands occupy a uniquely accessible binding cleft in BRD7 and maintain key interactions with the asparagine and tyrosine residues critical for acetylated lysine binding. Finally, we validated the utility and selectivity of the compounds in cell-based models of prostate cancer.

Project description:Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is a p53-dependent defence mechanism against uncontrolled proliferation. Consequently, many human tumours harbour p53 mutations while others show a dysfunctional p53 pathway, frequently by unknown mechanisms. We identified BRD7, a bromodomain-containing protein whose inhibition allows full neoplastic transformation in the presence of wild-type p53. Intriguingly, in human breast tumours harbouring wild-type, but not mutant p53, the BRD7 gene locus was frequently deleted and low BRD7 expression was found in a subgroup of tumours. Functionally, BRD7 is required for efficient p53-mediated transcription of a subset of target genes. BRD7 interacts with p53 and p300, and is recruited to target gene promoters, affecting histone acetylation, p53 acetylation, and promoter activity. Thus, BRD7 suppresses tumourigenicity by serving as a p53 cofactor required for efficient induction of p53-dependent OIS. We recorded mRNA expression profiles of BJ primary fibroblasts expressing the oncogene RasV12 and either control vector, one of two BRD7 knockdown vectors, or p53 knockdown vector. In addition, we profiled genome-wide protein DNA interactions for p53 and BRD7 using ChIP-Seq. p53- and BRD7-binding sites were recorded in RasV12-expressing BJ cells; as a control we used knockdown of the gene of interest (BRD7 or p53).

Project description:BET bromodomain inhibitors (BBDI) are promising therapeutic agents in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, not all tumors respond and acquired resistance emerges rapidly even in the responders. Using CRISPR and small molecule inhibitor screens combined with comprehensive molecular profiling of BBDI response and resistance in TNBC cell lines, we identified numerous synthetic lethal interactions with BBDIs as well as genes that when deleted confer resistance. The most prominent and consistent synergy was observed with CDK4/6 inhibitors and paclitaxel. We also uncovered functional similarities and differences between BBD proteins BRD2, BRD4, and BRD7, whereas deletion of BRD2 and BRD4 enhances sensitivity to BBDIs, BRD7 loss leads to resistance. Lastly, single cell RNA-seq and cellular barcoding analysis of BBDI responses in sensitive and resistant cell lines highlight heterogeneity among samples and demonstrate that BBDI resistance can be both pre-existing and acquired.
