    Abstract: The rapid pace of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19) pandemic presents challenges to the real-time collection of population-scale data to inform near-term public health needs as well as future investigations. We established the COronavirus Pandemic Epidemiology (COPE) consortium to address this unprecedented crisis on behalf of the epidemiology research community. As a central component of this initiative, we have developed a COVID Symptom Study (previously known as the COVID Symptom Tracker) mobile application as a common data collection tool for epidemiologic cohort studies with active study participants. This mobile application collects information on risk factors, daily symptoms, and outcomes through a user-friendly interface that minimizes participant burden. Combined with our efforts within the general population, data collected from nearly 3 million participants in the United States and United Kingdom are being used to address critical needs in the emergency response, including identifying potential hot spots of disease and clinically actionable risk factors. The linkage of symptom data collected in the app with information and biospecimens already collected in epidemiology cohorts will position us to address key questions related to diet, lifestyle, environmental, and socioeconomic factors on susceptibility to COVID-19, clinical outcomes related to infection, and long-term physical, mental health, and financial sequalae. We call upon additional epidemiology cohorts to join this collective effort to strengthen our impact on the current health crisis and generate a new model for a collaborative and nimble research infrastructure that will lead to more rapid translation of our work for the betterment of public health.

    Abstract: The MAPK signaling pathway is commonly upregulated in human cancers. As the primary downstream effector of the MAPK pathway, ERK is an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of MAPK-activated cancers and for overcoming resistance to upstream inhibition. ASTX029 is a highly potent and selective dual-mechanism ERK inhibitor, discovered using fragment-based drug design. Because of its distinctive ERK-binding mode, ASTX029 inhibits both ERK catalytic activity and the phosphorylation of ERK itself by MEK, despite not directly inhibiting MEK activity. This dual mechanism was demonstrated in cell-free systems, as well as cell lines and xenograft tumor tissue, where the phosphorylation of both ERK and its substrate, ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK), were modulated on treatment with ASTX029. Markers of sensitivity were highlighted in a large cell panel, where ASTX029 preferentially inhibited the proliferation of MAPK-activated cell lines, including those with BRAF or RAS mutations. In vivo, significant antitumor activity was observed in MAPK-activated tumor xenograft models following oral treatment. ASTX029 also demonstrated activity in both in vitro and in vivo models of acquired resistance to MAPK pathway inhibitors. Overall, these findings highlight the therapeutic potential of a dual-mechanism ERK inhibitor such as ASTX029 for the treatment of MAPK-activated cancers, including those which have acquired resistance to inhibitors of upstream components of the MAPK pathway. ASTX029 is currently being evaluated in a first in human phase I–II clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors (NCT03520075).

    Abstract: Pin1 is a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) that is specialized for catalysing isomerization around pSer/Thr-Pro bonds. As isomerisation around such bonds can promote major conformational changes within proteins, Pin1 is able to influence signaling dynamics and outcomes within pathways regulated by proline-directed kinases such as: MAP kinases, cyclin-dependent kinases and GSK-3β. Pin1 overexpression is only weakly oncogenic in itself, but enhances transformation by ErbB2 or activated Ras alleles. Remarkably however, cells from Pin1 deficient mice are resistant to transformation by Ras and ErbB2. As Pin1-deficient mice have a mild phenotype, there are considerable grounds for hope that Pin1 inhibitors will have value for the therapy of cancer and also inflammatory disorders. Here we report the discovery of our second series of cell active Pin1 inhibitors. Screening of a 700 member fragment library at high concentrations in a PPIase assay revealed 37 potential novel hits. Only two of these hits could be verified to bind Pin1 by 2D NMR, and we were able to obtain a crystal structure of just one of the novel hits bound to Pin1, a pyridyl pyrazole acid. After examining a number of 6-5 unfused ring system acids, we selected a phenyl-imidazole acid as a start point. A program of structure-guided medicinal chemistry led to the discovery of a series of ligands that occupied a novel combination of surfaces within the Pin1 active site, distinct from that occupied by our previously published amino acid-derived inhibitors. This effort culminated in VER-158197, a sub-micromolar (∼750 nM) inhibitor of Pin1 that exhibits high permeability in a CaCo-2 permeability assays and inhibits the growth of Pin1-dependent PC-3 prostate cancer cells (GI50 ∼ 13 uM). Mode of action studies indicated that VER-158197 downregulated cyclin D1 expression and prevented the phosphorylation of p70 S6 Kinase on Thr389 that is normally observed in repsonse to insulin stimulation.

    Abstract: We describe here the identification and characterization of 2 novel inhibitors of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family of receptor tyrosine kinases. The compounds exhibit selective inhibition of FGFR over the closely related VEGFR2 receptor in cell lines and in vivo. The pharmacologic profile of these inhibitors was defined using a panel of human tumor cell lines characterized for specific mutations, amplifications, or translocations known to activate one of the four FGFR receptor isoforms. This pharmacology defines a profile for inhibitors that are likely to be of use in clinical settings in disease types where FGFR is shown to play an important role.

    Abstract: The role of the 70 kDa heat shock protein isoforms (Hsc70 and Hsp70) in cancer development and progression through their ability to inhibit apoptosis and via their role as Hsp90 co-chaperones has been well documented. Dual targeting of Hsc70 and Hsp70 with siRNA has previously been demonstrated to induce proteasome-dependent degradation of Hsp90 client proteins and extensive tumor specific apoptosis as well as the potentiation of tumor cell apoptosis following pharmacological Hsp90 inhibition. The design and synthesis of novel adenosine-derived inhibitors of Hsp70, guided by modelling and X-ray crystallographic structures of these compounds in complex with Hsc70/BAG-1, has been described.1 These were the first inhibitors described to target the ATPase binding domain of this family of chaperones. Many of these compounds exhibited submicromolar affinity for Hsp70, were highly selective over Hsp90, and displayed in vitro activity against a variety of human tumor cell lines. We further describe the in vitro mode of action of one of the most potent analogues, VER-155008 in HCT116, HT29, BT474 and MDA-MB-468 carcinoma cell lines. Cell proliferation, cell cycle, cell apoptosis and caspase 3/7 activity was determined for VER-155008 in the absence or presence of small molecule Hsp90 inhibitors. VER-155008 inhibited the proliferation of human breast and colon cancer cell lines with GI50s in the range 5.3 to 14.4 M, and induced Hsp90 client protein degradation in both HCT116 and BT474 cells. As a single agent, VER-155008 induced caspase-3/7 dependent apoptosis in BT474 cells and non-caspase dependent cell death in HCT116 and HT29 cells. VER-155008 potentiated the apoptotic potential of the small molecule Hsp90 inhibitors VER-821602 and 17-AAG in HCT116 but not HT29 or MDA-MB-468 cells. In vivo, VER-155008 demonstrated rapid metabolism and clearance, along with tumor levels below the predicted pharmacologically active level. These data suggest that as a single agent, small molecule inhibitors of Hsc70/Hsp70 phenotypically mimic the cellular mode of action of a small molecule Hsp90 inhibitor and can potentiate the apoptotic potential of a small molecule Hsp90 inhibitor in certain cell lines. The factors determining whether or not cells apoptose in response to Hsp90 inhibition or the combination of Hsp90 plus Hsc70/Hsp70 inhibition remain to be determined.

    Abstract: TERT gene rearrangement with transcriptional superenhancers leads to TERT overexpression and neuroblastoma. No targeted therapy is available for clinical trials in patients with TERT-rearranged neuroblastoma. Experimental Design: Anticancer agents exerting the best synergistic anticancer effects with BET bromodomain inhibitors were identified by screening an FDA-approved oncology drug library. The synergistic effects of the BET bromodomain inhibitor OTX015 and the proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib were examined by immunoblot and flow cytometry analysis. The anticancer efficacy of OTX015 and carfilzomib combination therapy was investigated in mice xenografted with TERT-rearranged neuroblastoma cell lines or patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumor cells, and the role of TERT reduction in the anticancer efficacy was examined through rescue experiments in mice. Results: The BET bromodomain protein BRD4 promoted TERT-rearranged neuroblastoma cell proliferation through upregulating TERT expression. Screening of an approved oncology drug library identified the proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib as the agent exerting the best synergistic anticancer effects with BET bromodomain inhibitors including OTX015. OTX015 and carfilzomib synergistically reduced TERT protein expression, induced endoplasmic reticulum stress, and induced TERT-rearranged neuroblastoma cell apoptosis which was blocked by TERT overexpression and endoplasmic reticulum stress antagonists. In mice xenografted with TERT-rearranged neuroblastoma cell lines or PDX tumor cells, OTX015 and carfilzomib synergistically blocked TERT expression, induced tumor cell apoptosis, suppressed tumor progression, and improved mouse survival, which was largely reversed by forced TERT overexpression. Conclusions: OTX015 and carfilzomib combination therapy is likely to be translated into the first clinical trial of a targeted therapy in patients with TERT-rearranged neuroblastoma.

    Abstract: The N-Myc oncoprotein is a critical factor in neuroblastoma tumorigenesis which requires additional mechanisms converting low-level to high-level N-Myc expression. N-Myc protein is stabilized when phosphorylated at Serine 62 by phosphorylated ERK protein. Here we describe a novel positive feedback loop whereby N-Myc directly induced the transcription of the histone deacetylase SIRT1, which in turn increased N-Myc protein stability. SIRT1 binds to Myc Box I domain of N-Myc protein to form a novel transcriptional repressor complex at gene promoter of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase 3 (MKP3), leading to transcriptional repression of MKP3, ERK protein phosphorylation, N-Myc protein phosphorylation at Serine 62 and N-Myc protein stabilization. Importantly, SIRT1 was up-regulated, MKP3 down-regulated, in pre-cancerous cells, and preventative treatment with the SIRT1 inhibitor, Cambinol, reduced tumorigenesis in TH-MYCN transgenic mice. Our data demonstrate the important roles of SIRT1 in N-Myc oncogenesis and SIRT1 inhibitors in the prevention and therapy of N-Myc-induced neuroblastoma.
