Abstrakt: | Background: It has been reported that circadian clock components, Brain and Muscle ARNT-Like 1 (BMAL1) and Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput (CLOCK), are uniquely essential for glioblastoma (GBM) stem cell (GSC) biology and survival. Consequently, we developed a novel Cryptochrome (CRY) activator SHP1705, which inhibits BMAL1-CLOCK transcriptional activity. Methods: We analyzed buffy coats isolated from Phase 1 clinical trial subjects' blood to assess any changes to circadian, housekeeping, and blood transcriptome-based biomarkers following SHP1705 treatment. We utilized GlioVis to determine which circadian genes are differentially expressed in non-tumor versus GBM tissues. We employed in vitro and in vivo methods to test the efficacy of SHP1705 against patient-derived GSCs and xenografts in comparison to earlier CRY activator scaffolds. Additionally, we applied a novel-REV-ERB agonist SR29065, which inhibits BMAL1 transcription, to determine whether targeting both negative limbs of the circadian transcription-translation feedback loop (TTFL) would yield synergistic effects against various GBM cells. Results: SHP1705 is safe and well-tolerated in Phase I clinical trials. SHP1705 has increased selectivity for the CRY2 isoform and potency against GSC viability compared to previously published CRY activators. SHP1705 prolonged survival in mice bearing GBM tumors established with GSCs. When combined with the novel REV-ERB agonist SR29065, SHP1705 displayed synergy against multiple GSC lines and differentiated GSCs (DGCs). Conclusions: These demonstrate the efficacy of SHP1705 against GSCs, which pose for GBM patient outcomes. They highlight the potential of novel circadian clock compounds in targeting GBM as single agents or in combination with each other or current standard-of-care. Key Points: SHP1705 is a novel CRY2 activator that has shown success in Phase 1 safety trialsSHP1705 has a significantly improved efficacy against GSCs and GBM PDX tumorsNovel REV-ERB agonist SR29065 and SHP1705 display synergistic effects against GSCs. Importance of the Study: CRY2 is decreased in GBM tissues compared to CRY1 suggesting that promoting CRY2 activity will be an efficacious GBM treatment paradigm. SHP1705, a CRY2 activator that has shown success in Phase 1 safety trials, has significantly improved preclinical efficacy. Novel REV-ERB agonist SR29065 displays synergistic effects against diverse GBM cells. |
