SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily A member 2 (SMARCA2), also known as Brahma homologue (BRM), is a Snf2-family DNA-dependent ATPase. BRM and its close Brahma-related gene 1 (BRG1), SMARCA4, are mutually exclusive ATPases the large ATP-dependent SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complexes involved in transcriptional regulation expression. No small molecules have been reported that modulate activity via inhibition ATPase activity, an important goal...
Malignant tumors can evade destruction by the immune system attracting immune-suppressive regulatory T cells (Treg) cells. The IKZF2 (Helios) transcription factor plays a crucial role in maintaining function and stability of Treg cells, deficiency reduces tumor growth mice. Here we report discovery NVP-DKY709, selective molecular glue degrader that spares IKZF1/3. We describe recruitment-guided medicinal chemistry campaign leading to NVP-DKY709 redirected degradation selectivity cereblon...
CuInxSeY/ZnS core/shell quantum dots are synthesized with an emission peak in the near IR and a high yield, suitable for biomedical imaging optical window. After lipid coating transferring to water, show good stability, retain their have relatively small sizes optimize circulation clearance post-injection (P.I.).
Various subunits of mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes display loss-of-function mutations characteristic tumor suppressors in different cancers, but an additional role for supporting cell survival distinct cancer contexts is emerging. In particular, genetic dependence on the catalytic subunit BRG1/SMARCA4 has been observed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), yet feasibility direct therapeutic targeting activity remains unknown. Here, we evaluated dual BRG1/BRM ATPase inhibitors...
Abstract Uveal melanoma is a rare and aggressive cancer that originates in the eye. Currently, there are no approved targeted therapies very few effective treatments for this cancer. Although activating mutations G protein alpha subunits, GNAQ GNA11, key genetic drivers of disease, additional drug targets have been identified. Recently, studies identified context-specific roles mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes (also known as BAF/PBAF) various lineages. Here, we find evidence...
Abstract Members of the ATP-dependent SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes are among most frequently mutated genes in cancer, suggesting their dysregulation plays a critical role. The synthetic lethality between catalytic subunits BRM/SMARCA2 and BRG1/SMARCA4 has instigated great interest targeting BRM. Here we have performed in-depth investigation novel dual inhibitors (BRM011 BRM014) BRM BRG1 order to validate utility as chemical probes function, while obtaining insights into therapeutic...
Abstract For a majority of patients with non–small cell lung cancer EGFR mutations, treatment inhibitors (EGFRi) induces clinical response. Despite this initial reduction in tumor size, residual disease persists that leads to relapse. Elucidating the preexisting biological differences between sensitive cells and surviving drug-tolerant persister deciphering how evolve response could help identify strategies improve efficacy EGFRi. In study, we tracked origins clonal evolution at high...
A current challenge in biomedical imaging is the synthesis of water-soluble quantum dots (QDs) with emission wavelength near-IR, high yield, stability water, and relatively small size. In addition, due to concerns over toxicity if QDs are not cleared from body, it desirable avoid elements such as cadmium, lead, arsenic. The cover image presents copper-indium-selenide a zinc-sulfide (ZnS) shell, which satisfy many these requirements. After functionalizing surface an alkanethiol monolayer...
Abstract Growing malignant tumors must evade destruction by the immune system, a hurdle some malignancies overcome attracting immune-suppressive regulatory T-cells (Tregs)1. The IKZF2 (Helios) transcription factor plays crucial role in maintaining function and stability of Tregs, deficiency enhances responses to mice2, suggesting may be an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy. Here we describe discovery characterization DKY709, first molecular glue degrader IKZF2/4 which spares...
