The lack of progress in drug development for OS is partly due to unidentified actionable oncogenic drivers common to OS. In this study, we demonstrate that copy number gains of MCL1 frequently occur in OS, leading to vulnerability to therapies based on Mcl-1 inhibitors. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of 41 specimens revealed MCL1 amplification in 46.3% of patients with OS. Genetic inhibition of MCL1 induced significant apoptosis in MCL1-amplified OS cells, and the pharmacological efficacy of Mcl-1 inhibitors was correlated with MCL1 copy numbers. Chromosome 1q21.2-3 region, where MCL1 is located, contains multiple genes related to the IGF-1R/PI3K pathway, including PIP5K1A, TARS2, OUTD7B, and ENSA, which also showed increased copy numbers in MCL1-amplified OS cells. Furthermore, combining Mcl-1 inhibitors with IGF-1R inhibitors resulted in synergistic cell death by overcoming drug tolerance conferred by the activation of IGF signaling and suppressed tumor growth in MCL1-amplified OS xenograft models. These results suggest that genomic amplification of MCL1 in the 1q21.2-3 region, which occurred in approximately half of OS patients, may serve as a predictive biomarker for the combination therapy with an Mcl-1 inhibitor and an IGF1R inhibitor.</p>","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142813816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tissue factor (TF) is expressed in ~80% of PDAC and represents a potential therapeutic target. While a novel TF-ADC (MRG004A) demonstrated efficacy for PDAC and TNBC in a Phase I/II trial [Ref. 18], the functional role of TF in PDAC remains incompletely understood. We investigated the relationship between TF and the innate STING pathway. We found that patients with TF-overexpression had poor survival, very low levels of P-STING/P-TBK1, reduced amounts of ISGs and chemokines as well as low numbers of cytotoxic immunocytes in their tumor. In experimental models of mouse and human PDAC, tumor cell-intrinsic TF expression played a major role in silencing the cytosolic micronuclei sensing and cGAS-STING activation. This process involved a TREX1 exonuclease-dependent clearance of micronucleus-DNA accumulated in tumor cells. Treatment of tumors with TF-KO/shRNA or anti-TF antibody HuSC1-39 (parent antibody of MRG004A) triggered a rapid and proteasome-dependent degradation of TREX1 thereby restoring the STING/TBK1 cascade phosphorylation. TF-inhibition therapy promoted a robust STING/IRF3-dependent IFN/CCL5/CXCL9-11 production, immune effector cell infiltration and antitumor efficacy. Moreover, in the PBMC and cancer cell co-culture, TF-inhibition synergized with a STING agonist compound. A covalently conjugated TF antibody-STING agonist ADC strongly increased the efficacy of tumor-targeted STING agonism on chemokine secretion and tumor inhibition in vitro and in vivo. Thus, TF-inhibition reshapes an \"immune hot\" tumor environment.

Addressing these challenges requires a detailed understanding of the mechanisms driving MM initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance. This study identifies the pseudokinase tribble homolog 3 (TRIB3) as a high-risk factor that promotes MM malignancy in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, TRIB3 directly interacts with structure-specific recognition protein 1 (SSRP1) and ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10), facilitating the formation of a TRIB3/USP10/SSRP1 ternary complex. This complex stabilizes SSRP1 via USP10-mediated deubiquitination, thereby driving MM cell proliferation. Furthermore, a stapled peptide, SP-A, was developed, which effectively disrupts the TRIB3/USP10/SSRP1 complex, leading to a decrease in SSRP1 levels by inhibiting its stabilization through USP10. Notably, SP-A exhibits strong synergistic effects when combined with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. Given the critical role of the TRIB3/USP10/SSRP1 complex in MM pathophysiology, it represents a promising therapeutic target for MM treatment. In MM cells, TRIB3, USP10 and SSRP1 form a ternary complex and TRIB3 enhances the deubiquitinating effect of USP10 on SSRP1, leading to malignant progression of MM. In the case of drug intervention, SP-A attenuates the binding of SSRP1 and USP10 by inhibiting protein interactions between TRIB3 and SSRP1 and promoted SSRP1 protein degradation, leading to significant inhibition of MM development.

We first confirmed that BEX4 was significantly downregulated in ccRCC by bioinformatics analysis and that patients with low BEX4 expression tended to have prolonged overall survival time. Subsequently, we confirmed that BEX4 inhibited ccRCC cell proliferation in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo through a series of cell function assays and the establishment of a nude mouse xenograft model, respectively. Mechanistically, we found that BEX4 positively regulates the expression of Src homology 2 domain-containing 4A (SH2D4A), an inhibitor of the NOTCH pathway, which further promoted the tumor-suppressive effects of BEX4. In addition, our study confirmed that the promoting effect of BEX4 on SH2D4A was achieved by inhibiting the deacetylase sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) activity. On this basis, we found that there was a competition between acetylation and ubiquitination modifications at the K69 site of SH2DA4 and that BEX4-induced upregulation of acetylation at the k69 site stabilizes SH2D4A protein expression by inhibiting ubiquitination at the same site. In addition, dual-luciferase assays showed that the transcriptional activity of BEX4 was positively regulated by activation transcription factor 3 (ATF3).
