项目摘要
ABSTRACT
MYC oncoproteins (including c-MYC, L-MYC and N-MYC) play critical roles in the initiation, progression and
recurrence of many human malignancies. Extensive studies indicate that MYC is required to maintain tumor cell
survival and proliferation. We have recently used a novel approach that combined computer-aided modeling with
a rapid in vivo screen to develop a new series of direct small molecule inhibitors (MYCi’s) that show excellent
selectivity, potency and tolerability in multiple MYC-driven cancer models. These compounds demonstrate a
dual mechanism of action. First, direct binding of MYCi to MYC in the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) region
disrupts complex formation with MYC which is required for MYC transcriptional activity. Secondly, binding of
MYCi enhances MYC phosphorylation on threonine-58 (pT58) which promotes MYC degradation via the
ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. However the key downstream effectors of these events and how they might
impact cellular function are unknown. Reduction of MYC protein and enhanced pT58MYC may be expected to
have profound effects on MYC family protein interactions with each other and with chromatin. In this regard, we
have observed in preliminary studies that MYCi leads to selective loss of MYC at genomic loci enriched for
master chromatin regulators (CTCF and FOX), suggesting disruption of the 3D architecture of the MYC-bound
genome in response to MYCi. Additionally, unfolded MYC due to MYCi binding and/or enhanced MYC
degradation may provoke a cellular stress response. Using unbiased ATAC-seq and RNA-seq approaches, we
found that MYCi treatment activates the ATF4/CHOP stress response pathway. Importantly, activation of
ATF4/CHOP by MYCi is an on-target, MYC-dependent effect. ATF4 mediates MYCi antitumor activity as ATF4
depletion partially ameliorates the antitumor effects of MYCi. Furthermore, we propose that MYCi-induced ATF4
cytokines modulate the tumor microenvironment. Activation of the ATF4 pathway by MYCi exposes potential
therapeutic vulnerabilities for rational combination approaches, such as combination of MYCi with proteasome
inhibitors that activates ATF4. Based on the preliminary findings, our central hypotheses is that MYCi inhibits
MYC-dependent tumorigenesis by a dual-pronged mode of action. First, MYCi affects MYC family target gene
expression by disrupting MYC/MAX interaction and by promoting MYC degradation. Secondly, binding of MYCi
to MYC and/or MYC degradation activates an ATF4/CHOP stress response pathway that suppresses tumor cell
viability. We propose the following specific aims to test these hypotheses: Aim 1). To investigate the mechanisms
by which MYC inhibitor modulates MYC transcriptional activity and the epigenetic landscape. We will investigate
the consequences of MYCi treatment on the recruitment of MYC, pT58MYC, and associated factors to chromatin;
changes to 3D chromatin architecture; as well as the effects on MYC-driven transcriptional output in tumor cells
vitro and in vivo. Aim 2). To define the mechanisms and functional consequences of ATF4/CHOP pathway
activation by MYCi. We will determine mechanism of ARF4 upregulation by MYCi; define the role of MYCi-
induced ATF4 in regulating target gene expression, cell viability and tumorigenicity; and assess strategies that
exploit the consequences of ATF4 activation as a means of enhancing MYCi anti-tumor efficacy.
These studies are significant as MYC is implicated in the majority of human cancers. The studies advance the
use of MYCi as chemical probes to unmask distinct biology that complements the knowledge derived from
genetic manipulations of MYC proteins. The findings will contribute to the efforts aimed at developing small
molecule MYCi as potential therapeutics. Specifically, this work indicates that small-molecule MYC inhibitors
have an additional anti-tumor effect due to the activation of the ATF4 pathway beyond the antitumor effects of
suppressing MYC function. Finally, understanding this on-target ATF4 response provoked by small-molecule
MYCi will provide rational strategies for combination therapy to enhance MYCi efficacy.
摘要
MYC癌蛋白(包括c-MYC、L-MYC和N-MYC)在肿瘤的发生、发展和转移中起关键作用。
许多人类恶性肿瘤的复发。广泛的研究表明,MYC是维持肿瘤细胞生长所必需的。
生存和增殖。我们最近使用了一种新的方法,将计算机辅助建模与
一种快速的体内筛选,以开发一系列新的直接小分子抑制剂(MYCi),
在多种MYC驱动的癌症模型中的选择性、效力和耐受性。这些化合物显示出
双重作用机制。首先,MYCi与MYC在碱性螺旋-环-螺旋(bHLH)区域中的直接结合
破坏MYC转录活性所需的与MYC的复合物形成。第二,约束力
MYCi增强MYC在苏氨酸-58(pT 58)上的磷酸化,其通过磷酸化促进MYC降解。
泛素-蛋白酶体途径然而,这些事件的关键下游效应物以及它们如何可能
影响细胞功能是未知的。MYC蛋白的减少和pT 58 MYC的增强可能会导致
对MYC家族蛋白彼此之间以及与染色质之间的相互作用具有深远的影响。在这方面我们
已经在初步研究中观察到,MYCi导致在富含MYC的基因组位点处MYC的选择性丢失,
主染色质调节因子(CTCF和FOX),表明MYC结合的3D结构的破坏,
基因组对MYCi的反应。此外,由于MYCi结合和/或增强的MYC,
降解可能引起细胞应激反应。使用无偏的ATAC-seq和RNA-seq方法,我们
发现MYCi治疗激活ATF 4/CHOP应激反应途径。重要的是,激活
MYCi的ATF 4/CHOP是一种靶向、MYC依赖性效应。ATF 4介导MYCi抗肿瘤活性
消耗部分改善MYCi的抗肿瘤作用。此外,我们认为MYCi诱导的ATF 4
细胞因子调节肿瘤微环境。MYCi对ATF 4通路的激活暴露了潜在的
合理组合方法的治疗弱点,例如MYCi与蛋白酶体的组合
抑制剂激活ATF 4。基于初步发现,我们的中心假设是MYCi抑制了
MYC依赖性肿瘤发生的双重作用模式。首先,MYCi影响MYC家族靶基因
通过破坏MYC/MAX相互作用和促进MYC降解来表达。第二,MYCi的绑定
MYC和/或MYC降解激活ATF 4/CHOP应激反应途径,抑制肿瘤细胞
生存能力。我们提出了以下具体目标来检验这些假设:目标1)。为了研究
MYC抑制剂通过其调节MYC转录活性和表观遗传景观。我们将调查
MYCi处理对MYC、pT 58 MYC和相关因子向染色质募集的影响;
3D染色质结构的变化;以及对肿瘤细胞中MYC驱动的转录输出的影响
体外和体内。目标2)。明确ATF 4/CHOP通路的作用机制和功能后果
通过MYCi激活。我们将确定MYCi上调ARF 4的机制;定义MYCi的作用,
诱导ATF 4调节靶基因表达、细胞活力和致瘤性;并评估
利用ATF 4活化的结果作为增强MYCi抗肿瘤功效的手段。
这些研究意义重大,因为MYC与大多数人类癌症有关。这些研究推动了
使用MYCi作为化学探针来揭示不同的生物学,
MYC蛋白的遗传操作。研究结果将有助于旨在发展小型
分子MYCi作为潜在的治疗剂。具体来说,这项工作表明,小分子MYC抑制剂
由于ATF 4通路的激活,具有超出
抑制MYC功能。最后,了解这种由小分子引发的靶向ATF 4反应,
MYCi将为联合治疗提供合理的策略,以提高MYCi疗效。
