Description
Recent findings by our group have been instrumental in the development of the novel selective inhibitors of RNA Polymerase I (Pol I) (Drygin et al., Cancer Research, 2011; Bywater et al. Cancer Cell, 2012). This work has led to the fundamental discovery that ribosomal gene transcription by Pol I is not simply a “housekeeping” process in cancer cells but is highly regulated to maintain their viability (Bywater et al. Nature Reviews Cancer, 2013). Strikingly, inhibition of Pol I transcription...[Show more]

dc.description.abstract | Recent findings by our group have been instrumental in the development of the novel selective inhibitors of RNA Polymerase I (Pol I) (Drygin et al., Cancer Research, 2011; Bywater et al. Cancer Cell, 2012). This work has led to the fundamental discovery that ribosomal gene transcription by Pol I is not simply a “housekeeping” process in cancer cells but is highly regulated to maintain their viability (Bywater et al. Nature Reviews Cancer, 2013). Strikingly, inhibition of Pol I transcription shows a profound selectivity for malignant over normal cells in preclinical studies. As with the majority of targeted therapies, despite initial favorable responses to approaches that target ribosome synthesis and/or function in MYC-driven lymphoma models, resistant disease emerges. It is increasingly clear that maximizing the inhibition of key signaling networks as a whole improves anti-tumor response. The well-established reliance of MYC-driven malignancies on elevated rates of ribosome biogenesis, mTORC1/eIF4E-driven protein synthesis, and cell growth makes them vulnerable to therapeutic strategies that target the ribosome. Thus we hypothesized that the simultaneous targeting of the ribosome at multiple points would antagonize the development of acquired resistance and consequently prolong survival in MYC-driven cancer models. We will present data to demonstrate that targeting both ribosome synthesis and function through the combination of novel inhibitors of RNA polymerase I transcription, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling inhibitors or PIM Kinase inhibitors provides a significant increase in survival compared to treatment with single agents (Devlin et al., Cancer Discovery 2016; Rebello et al., Clinical Cancer Res. 2016). We will also discuss the molecular mechanism by which multipoint targeting of the ribosome synergizes to increase survival. Finally we will discuss our collaboration with Pimera, Inc. to develop highly selective second generation RNA Pol I inhibitors. The lead compound PMR-116 is showing exceptional activity in transgenic models of malignancy, including MLL-ENL AML and Vk*MYC driven multiple myeloma. We anticipate this compound will enter the clinic in 2017. Citation Format: Ross D. Hannan, Nadine Hein, Katherine M.
