BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The present disclosure provides BET bromodomain inhibitors and therapeutic methods of treating conditions and diseases wherein inhibition of one or more BET bromodomains provides a benefit.
Background Art
The genomes of eukaryotic organisms are highly organized within the nucleus of the cell. The long strands of duplex DNA are wrapped around an octamer of histone proteins (usually comprising two copies of histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) to form a nucleosome, which then is further compressed to form a highly condensed chromatin structure. A range of different condensation states are possible, and the tightness of this structure varies during the cell cycle. The chromatin structure plays a critical role in regulating gene transcription, which cannot occur efficiently from highly condensed chromatin. The chromatin structure is controlled by a series of post translational modifications to histone proteins, notably histones H3 and H4. These modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitinylation, and SUMOylation.
Histone acetylation usually is associated with the activation of gene transcription, as the modification loosens the interaction of the DNA and the histone octamer by changing the electrostatics. In addition to this physical change, specific proteins bind to acetylated lysine residues within histones to read the epigenetic code. Bromodomains are small (about 110 amino acids) distinct domains within proteins that bind to acetylated lysine resides commonly, but not exclusively, in the context of histones. There is a family of about 50 proteins known to contain bromodomains, which have a range of functions within the cell.
The BET family of bromodomain-containing proteins (“BET bromodomains”) includes four proteins, i.e., BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRD-t, which contain tandem bromodomains capable of binding to two acetylated lysine residues in close proximity, thereby increasing the specificity of the interaction. BRD2 and BRD3 associate with histones along actively transcribed genes and may be involved in facilitating transcriptional elongation, while BRD4 may be involved in the recruitment of the pTEF-β complex to inducible genes, resulting in phosphorylation of RNA polymerase and increased transcriptional output. BRD4 or BRD3 also may fuse with NUT (nuclear protein in testis) forming novel fusion oncogenes, BRD4-NUT or BRD3-NUT, in a highly malignant form of epithelial neoplasia. Data suggests that BRD-NUT fusion proteins contribute to carcinogenesis. BRD-t is uniquely expressed in the testes and ovary. All family members have been reported to have some function in controlling or executing aspects of the cell cycle, and have been shown to remain in complex with chromosomes during cell division, which suggests a role in the maintenance of epigenetic memory. In addition, some viruses make use of these proteins to tether their genomes to the host cell chromatin as part of the process of viral replication.
A discussion of BET proteins can be found in WO 2012/075456, WO 2012/075383, and WO 2011/054864.

Small molecule inhibitors of BET bromodomains have therapeutic potential for the treatment of many diseases and conditions in which BET bromodomains have a role, including cancer.

Men who develop metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) invariably succumb to the disease. The development and progression to CRPC following androgen ablation therapy is predominantly driven by unregulated androgen receptor (AR) signaling (Taylor, B. S. et al., Cancer Cell 18:11-22 (2010); Chen, C. D. et al., Nat Med 10:33-39 (2004); Visakorpi, T. et al., Nat Genet 9:401-406 (1995)). Despite the success of recently approved therapies targeting AR signaling such as abiraterone (Stein, M. N., Goodin, S. and Dipaola, R. S., Clin Cancer Res 18:1848-1854 (2012); Reid, A. H. et al. J Clin Oncol 28: 1489-1495 (2010); de Bono, J. S. et al., N Engl J Med 364: 1995-2005 (2011)) and second generation anti-androgens MDV3100 (enzalutamide) (Mukherji, D. et al. Expert Opin Investig Drugs 21:227-233 (2012); Scher, H. I. et al., N Engl J Med 367:1187-1197 (2012)), durable responses are limited, presumably due to acquired resistance. Recently JQ1 and I-BET, two selective small molecule inhibitors that target the amino-terminal bromodomains of BRD4, have been shown to exhibit antiproliferative effects in a range of malignancies (Lockwood, W. W. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 109:19 408-19413 (2012); Dawson, M. A. et al., Nature 478: 529-533 (2011); Delmore, J. E. et al. Cell 146: 904-917 (2011); Puissant, A. et al. Cancer Discov 3:308-323 (2013)). BRD4 physically interacts with the N-terminal domain of AR and can be disrupted by JQ1 (Delmore, J. E. et al. Cell 146: 904-917 (2011); Puissant, A. et al. Cancer Discov 3:308-323 (2013); Filippakopoulos, P. et al. Nature 468:1067-1073 (2010)).
The identification and therapeutic targeting of co-activators or mediators of AR transcriptional signaling should be considered as alternate strategies to treat CRPC (Attard, G. et al., Clin Cancer Res 17:1649-1657 (2011)). BRD4 is a conserved member of the bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) family of chromatin readers that include BRD2/3 and BRDT. BRD4 plays a critical role in transcription by RNA PolII, by facilitating recruitment of the positive transcription elongation factor P-TEFb (Jang, M. K. et al., Mol Cell 19:523-534 (2005); Yang, Z. et al., Mol Cell 19: 535-545 (2005). Similar to other BET-family proteins, BRD4 contains two conserved bromodomains, BD1 and BD2. Competitive binding of JQ1 or I-BET to the bromodomain pocket results in the displacement BRD4 from active chromatin and subsequent removal of RNA PolII from target genes (Dawson, M. A. et al., Nature 478: 529-533 (2011); Delmore, J. E. et al., Cell 146: 904-917 (2011); Puissant, A. et al., Cancer Discov 3:308-323 (2013); Filippakopoulos, P. et al., Nature 468:1067-1073 (2010); Loven, J. et al., 153:320-334 (2013)) Although most cancer cells express BET-family proteins, it is not clear why only a subset of cell lines from diverse cancers respond to BET-inhibitors (Lockwood, W. W. et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 109:19408-19413 (2012); Mertz, J. A. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 108:16669-16674 (2011)). Recently, BRD4 was shown to interact with sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factors in a gene-specific manner (Wu, S. Y. et al., Mol Cell 49:843-857 (2013)). As the genetic and epigenetic landscape differs between tumor types, it is possible that distinct transcriptional regulators that associate with BRD4 might influence the action of BET-inhibitors.
Breast cancer accounts for more than 20% of all cancers in women worldwide. The expression of androgen receptor (AR) is widespread both in ER (estrogen receptor)-positive and ER-negative breast cancers. In ER positive breast cancer adjuvant therapy with ER antagonist tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors (AIs)—which block conversion of androgen to estrogens, has shown to be effective in inhibiting disease progression. Moreover, direct AR antagonist Enzalutamide (MDV3100) has recently been proposed as a therapeutic modality for AR positive breast cancers.
Despite research directed to BET bromodomains and BET bromodomain inhibitors, the design of potent, non-peptide inhibitors of BET bromodomains remains a significant challenge in modern drug discovery. Accordingly, a need still exists in the art for BET bromodomain inhibitors having physical and pharmacological properties that permit use of the inhibitors in therapeutic applications, especially in humans. The present disclosure provides compounds that bind to BET bromodomains and inhibit BET bromodomain activity.

The present disclosure further includes all possible stereoisomers and geometric isomers of Compounds of the Disclosure to include both racemic compounds and optically active isomers. When a Compound of the Disclosure is desired as a single enantiomer, it can be obtained either by resolution of the final product or by stereospecific synthesis from either isomerically pure starting material or use of a chiral auxiliary reagent, for example, see Z. Ma et al., Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 8(6), pages 883-888 (1997). Resolution of the final product, an intermediate, or a starting material can be achieved by any suitable method known in the art. Additionally, in situations where tautomers of the Compounds of the Disclosure are possible, the present disclosure is intended to include all tautomeric forms of the compounds.
The present disclosure encompasses the preparation and use of salts of Compounds of the Disclosure. As used herein, the pharmaceutical “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to salts or zwitterionic forms of Compounds of the Disclosure. Salts of Compounds of the Disclosure can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or separately by reacting the compound with an acid having a suitable cation. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Compounds of the Disclosure can be acid addition salts formed with pharmaceutically acceptable acids. Examples of acids which can be employed to form pharmaceutically acceptable salts include inorganic acids such as nitric, boric, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, and phosphoric, and organic acids such as oxalic, maleic, succinic, and citric. Nonlimiting examples of salts of compounds of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulfate, bisulfate, 2-hydroxyethansulfonate, phosphate, hydrogen phosphate, acetate, adipate, alginate, aspartate, benzoate, bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, digluconate, glycerolphsphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, formate, succinate, fumarate, maleate, ascorbate, isethionate, salicylate, methanesulfonate, mesitylenesulfonate, naphthylenesulfonate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, oxalate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylproprionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, trichloroacetate, trifluoroacetate, phosphate, glutamate, bicarbonate, paratoluenesulfonate, undecanoate, lactate, citrate, tartrate, gluconate, methanesulfonate, ethanedisulfonate, benzene sulfonate, and p-toluenesulfonate salts.

In light of the foregoing, any reference Compounds of the Disclosure appearing herein is intended to include compounds of Compounds of the Disclosure as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, or solvates thereof.
The present disclosure encompasses the preparation and use of solvates of Compounds of the Disclosure. Solvates typically do not significantly alter the physiological activity or toxicity of the compounds, and as such may function as pharmacological equivalents. The term “solvate” as used herein is a combination, physical association and/or solvation of a compound of the present disclosure with a solvent molecule such as, e.g. a disolvate, monosolvate or hemisolvate, where the ratio of solvent molecule to compound of the present disclosure is about 2:1, about 1:1 or about 1:2, respectively. This physical association involves varying degrees of ionic and covalent bonding, including hydrogen bonding. In certain instances, the solvate can be isolated, such as when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. Thus, “solvate” encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Compounds of the Disclosure can be present as solvated forms with a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, such as water, methanol, ethanol, and the like, and it is intended that the disclosure includes both solvated and unsolvated forms of Compounds of the Disclosure. One type of solvate is a hydrate. A “hydrate” relates to a particular subgroup of solvates where the solvent molecule is water. Solvates typically can function as pharmacological equivalents. Preparation of solvates is known in the art. See, for example, M. Caira et al, J. Pharmaceut. Sci., 93(3):601-611 (2004), which describes the preparation of solvates of fluconazole with ethyl acetate and with water. Similar preparation of solvates, hemisolvates, hydrates, and the like are described by E. C. van Tonder et al., AAPS Pharm. Sci. Tech., 5(1):Article 12 (2004), and A. L. Bingham et al., Chem. Commun. 603-604 (2001). A typical, non-limiting, process of preparing a solvate would involve dissolving a Compound of the Disclosure in a desired solvent (organic, water, or a mixture thereof) at temperatures above 20° C. to about 25° C., then cooling the solution at a rate sufficient to form crystals, and isolating the crystals by known methods, e.g., filtration. Analytical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy can be used to confirm the presence of the solvent in a crystal of the solvate.
The present disclosure provides Compounds of the Disclosure as BET bromodomain inhibitors for the treatment of a variety of diseases and conditions wherein inhibition of BET bromodomains has a beneficial effect.

The above-mentioned second therapeutically active agents, one or more of which can be used in combination with a Compound of the Disclosure, are prepared and administered as described in the art.
Compound of the Disclosure typically are administered in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the present disclosure are formulated in a conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and/or auxiliaries that facilitate processing of Compound of the Disclosure.
These pharmaceutical compositions can be manufactured, for example, by conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, or lyophilizing processes. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. When a therapeutically effective amount of the Compound of the Disclosure is administered orally, the composition typically is in the form of a tablet, capsule, powder, solution, or elixir. When administered in tablet form, the composition additionally can contain a solid carrier, such as a gelatin or an adjuvant. The tablet, capsule, and powder contain about 0.01% to about 95%, and preferably from about 1% to about 50%, of a Compound of the Disclosure. When administered in liquid form, a liquid carrier, such as water, petroleum, or oils of animal or plant origin, can be added. The liquid form of the composition can further contain physiological saline solution, dextrose or other saccharide solutions, or glycols. When administered in liquid form, the composition contains about 0.1% to about 90%, and preferably about 1% to about 50%, by weight, of a Compound of the Disclosure.
When a therapeutically effective amount of a Compound of the Disclosure is administered by intravenous, cutaneous, or subcutaneous injection, the composition is in the form of a pyrogen-free, parenterally acceptable aqueous solution. The preparation of such parenterally acceptable solutions, having due regard to pH, isotonicity, stability, and the like, is within the skill in the art. A preferred composition for intravenous, cutaneous, or subcutaneous injection typically contains, an isotonic vehicle.
Compounds of the Disclosure can be readily combined with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well-known in the art. Standard pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 19th ed. 1995. Such carriers enable the active agents to be formulated as tablets, pills, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient to be treated. Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained by adding the Compound of the Disclosure to a solid excipient, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients include, for example, fillers and cellulose preparations. If desired, disintegrating agents can be added.
Compound of the Disclosure can be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection can be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampules or in multidose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions can take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and can contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing, and/or dispersing agents.
Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active agent in water-soluble form. Additionally, suspensions of a Compound of the Disclosure can be prepared as appropriate oily injection suspensions. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils or synthetic fatty acid esters. Aqueous injection suspensions can contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension. Optionally, the suspension also can contain suitable stabilizers or agents that increase the solubility of the compounds and allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions. Alternatively, a present composition can be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water, before use.
Compounds of the Disclosure also can be formulated in rectal compositions, such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g., containing conventional suppository bases. In addition to the formulations described previously, the Compound of the Disclosure also can be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long-acting formulations can be administered by implantation (for example, subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, the Compound of the Disclosure can be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example, as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins.
In particular, the Compounds of the Disclosure can be administered orally, buccally, or sublingually in the form of tablets containing excipients, such as starch or lactose, or in capsules or ovules, either alone or in admixture with excipients, or in the form of elixirs or suspensions containing flavoring or coloring agents. Such liquid preparations can be prepared with pharmaceutically acceptable additives, such as suspending agents. Compound of the Disclosure also can be injected parenterally, for example, intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, or intracoronarily. For parenteral administration, the Compound of the Disclosure are typically used in the form of a sterile aqueous solution which can contain other substances, for example, salts or monosaccharides, such as mannitol or glucose, to make the solution isotonic with blood.
In another embodiment, the present disclosure provides kits which comprise a Compound of the Disclosure (or a composition comprising a Compound of the Disclosure) packaged in a manner that facilitates their use to practice methods of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the kit includes a Compound of the Disclosure (or a composition comprising a Compound of the Disclosure) packaged in a container, such as a sealed bottle or vessel, with a label affixed to the container or included in the kit that describes use of the compound or composition to practice the method of the disclosure.

The term “BET bromodomain” as used herein means one or more of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRD-t, or an isoform or mutant thereof.
The term “a disease or condition wherein inhibition of BET bromodomains provides a benefit” pertains to a condition in which at least one of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRD-t, and/or an action of at least one of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRD-t, is important or necessary, e.g., for the onset, progress, expression of that disease or condition, or a disease or a condition which is known to be treated by a BET bromodomain inhibitor. Examples of such conditions include, but are not limited to, a cancer, a chronic autoimmune disease, an inflammatory disease, a proliferative disease, sepsis, and a viral infection. One of ordinary skill in the art is readily able to determine whether a compound treats a disease or condition mediated by a BET bromodomain for any particular cell type, for example, by assays which conveniently can be used to assess the activity of particular compounds.
The term “second therapeutic agent” refers to a therapeutic agent different from a Compound of the Disclosure and that is known to treat the disease or condition of interest. For example when a cancer is the disease or condition of interest, the second therapeutic agent can be a known chemotherapeutic drug, like taxol, or radiation, for example.
The term “disease” or “condition” denotes disturbances and/or anomalies that as a rule are regarded as being pathological conditions or functions, and that can manifest themselves in the form of particular signs, symptoms, and/or malfunctions. As demonstrated below, a Compound of the Disclosure is a potent inhibitor of BET bromodomains and can be used in treating diseases and conditions wherein inhibition of BET bromodomains provides a benefit.
As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treating,” “treatment,” and the like refer to eliminating, reducing, or ameliorating a disease or condition, and/or symptoms associated therewith. Although not precluded, treating a disease or condition does not require that the disease, condition, or symptoms associated therewith be completely eliminated. As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treating,” “treatment,” and the like may include “prophylactic treatment,” which refers to reducing the probability of redeveloping a disease or condition, or of a recurrence of a previously-controlled disease or condition, in a subject who does not have, but is at risk of or is susceptible to, redeveloping a disease or condition or a recurrence of the disease or condition. The term “treat” and synonyms contemplate administering a therapeutically effective amount of a Compound of the Disclosure to an individual in need of such treatment.
Within the meaning of the disclosure, “treatment” also includes relapse prophylaxis or phase prophylaxis, as well as the treatment of acute or chronic signs, symptoms and/or malfunctions. The treatment can be orientated symptomatically, for example, to suppress symptoms. It can be effected over a short period, be oriented over a medium term, or can be a long-term treatment, for example within the context of a maintenance therapy.
The term “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective dose” as used herein refers to an amount of the active ingredient(s) that is(are) sufficient, when administered by a method of the disclosure, to efficaciously deliver the active ingredient(s) for the treatment of condition or disease of interest to an individual in need thereof. In the case of a cancer or other proliferation disorder, the therapeutically effective amount of the agent may reduce (i.e., retard to some extent and preferably stop) unwanted cellular proliferation; reduce the number of cancer cells; reduce the tumor size; inhibit (i.e., retard to some extent and preferably stop) cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; inhibit (i.e., retard to some extent and preferably stop) tumor metastasis; inhibit, to some extent, tumor growth; reduce BET bromodomain signaling in the target cells; and/or relieve, to some extent, one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer. To the extent the administered compound or composition prevents growth and/or kills existing cancer cells, it may be cytostatic and/or cytotoxic.
The term “container” means any receptacle and closure therefore suitable for storing, shipping, dispensing, and/or handling a pharmaceutical product.
The term “insert” means information accompanying a pharmaceutical product that provides a description of how to administer the product, along with the safety and efficacy data required to allow the physician, pharmacist, and patient to make an informed decision regarding use of the product. The package insert generally is regarded as the “label” for a pharmaceutical product.
“Concurrent administration,” “administered in combination,” “simultaneous administration,” and similar phrases mean that two or more agents are administered concurrently to the subject being treated. By “concurrently,” it is meant that each agent is administered either simultaneously or sequentially in any order at different points in time. However, if not administered simultaneously, it is meant that they are administered to an individual in a sequence and sufficiently close in time so as to provide the desired therapeutic effect and can act in concert. For example, a Compound of the Disclosure can be administered at the same time or sequentially in any order at different points in time as a second therapeutic agent. A Compound of the Disclosure and the second therapeutic agent can be administered separately, in any appropriate form and by any suitable route. When a Compound of the Disclosure and the second therapeutic agent are not administered concurrently, it is understood that they can be administered in any order to a subject in need thereof. For example, a Compound of the Disclosure can be administered prior to (e.g., 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, or 12 weeks before), concomitantly with, or subsequent to (e.g., 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, or 12 weeks after) the administration of a second therapeutic agent treatment modality (e.g., radiotherapy), to an individual in need thereof. In various embodiments, a Compound of the Disclosure and the second therapeutic agent are administered 1 minute apart, 10 minutes apart, 30 minutes apart, less than 1 hour apart, 1 hour apart, 1 hour to 2 hours apart, 2 hours to 3 hours apart, 3 hours to 4 hours apart, 4 hours to 5 hours apart, 5 hours to 6 hours apart, 6 hours to 7 hours apart, 7 hours to 8 hours apart, 8 hours to 9 hours apart, 9 hours to 10 hours apart, 10 hours to 11 hours apart, 11 hours to 12 hours apart, no more than 24 hours apart or no more than 48 hours apart. In one embodiment, the components of the combination therapies are administered at about 1 minute to about 24 hours apart.
The use of the terms “a”, “an”, “the”, and similar referents in the context of describing the disclosure (especially in the context of the claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated. Recitation of ranges of values herein merely are intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g., “such as”) provided herein, is intended to better illustrate the disclosure and is not a limitation on the scope of the disclosure unless otherwise claimed.

Competitive Fluorescence-Polarization (FP) Assays
Fluorescence Polarization (FP) competitive binding studies were carried out using a FAM labeled fluorescent probe (ZBA248 or BRD-1F) to determine binding affinities of representative Compounds of the Disclosure for recombinant BRD4 BD1 and BRD4 BD2 proteins. For example, equilibrium dissociation constants (Kd) values of ZBA248 to these six proteins were determined from protein saturation experiments by monitoring the total fluorescence polarization of mixtures composed with the fluorescent probe at a fixed concentration and proteins with increasing concentrations up to full saturation. Serial dilutions of testing protein were mixed with ZBA248 to a final volume of 200 μl in the assay buffer. In order to achieve large dynamic rages, particularly for BD1 bromodomains, 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH=6.5, 0.01% Triton X-100 (Sigma, 282103) being added right before assays) was used as the assay buffer. Final ZBA248 concentration was 1.5 nM for all proteins. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes with gentle shaking to assure equilibrium. FP values in millipolarization units (mP) were measured using the Infinite M-1000 plate reader (Tecan U.S., Research Triangle Park, NC) in Microfluor 1 96-well, black, round-bottom plates (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, Mass.) at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and an emission wavelength of 530 nm. Kd values of ZBA248 were calculated by fitting the sigmoidal dose-dependent FP increases as a function of protein concentrations using Graphpad Prism 6.0 software (Graphpad Software, San Diego, Calif.).
The IC50 and Ki values of representative Compounds of the Disclosure were determined in a competitive binding experiment as described above. Mixtures of 10 μl of the tested compounds in assay buffer with 40% Ethylene Glycol and 190 μl of preincubated protein/probe complex solution in the assay buffer (100 mM potassium phosphate, pH 6.5, 0.01% Triton X-100) were added into assay plates which were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes with gentle shaking. Final concentrations of proteins were 10 and 6 nM in assays for BD1 and BD2 of BRD4, respectively. Final probe concentration is 1.5 nM in all assays. Negative controls containing protein/probe complex only (equivalent to 0% inhibition), and positive controls containing only free probes (equivalent to 100% inhibition), were included in each assay plate. FP values were measured as described above. IC50 values were determined by nonlinear regression fitting of the competition curves. Instead of being calculated from IC50 values as described before, Ki values of competitive inhibitors were obtained directly by nonlinear regression fitting as well, based upon the Kd values of the probe to different proteins, and concentrations of the proteins and probes in the competitive assays (Wang, FEBS Lett. 360; 111 (1995); Zhang et al., Analytical Biochemistry, 331; 138 (2004)).
Binding affinities of representative Compounds of the Disclosure to BRD4 BD1 and BRD4 BD2 proteins in competitive, fluorescence-polarization assays are presented in Table 2.

Binding affinities to BRD2 BD1 and BD2, BRD3 BD1 and BD2, and BRD4 BD1 and BD2 can also be determined by a label free binding assay using the OctetRED label free biolayer interferometry (BLI) binding assay.
Example 173
Cell Growth Inhibition
Cell growth inhibitory activity of representative Compounds of the Disclosure was determined using CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay. For leukemia cell lines MV-4-11 (ATCC, Manassas, Va.) and MOLM-13 (DSMZ, Germany), cells were seeded in 96-well white opaque cell culture plates at a density of 10,000 cells/well with serially diluted compounds and incubated at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO2 for 4 days. Cell viability was determined using the CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay Kit (Promega, Madison, Wis.) according to the manufacture's instruction. Briefly, a volume of CellTiter-Glo® Reagent equal to the volume of cell culture medium was added to each well, and then the plates were incubated at room temperature for 10-20 minutes. The luminescent signal was measured using a Tecan Infinite M1000 multimode microplate reader (Tecan, Morrisville, N.C.). The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated using the GraphPad Prism 5 software (GraphPad Software, La Jolla, Calif.).
For breast cancer cell lines, cells were seeded in 96-well cell culture plates at a density of 5,000-10,000 cells/well with serially diluted compounds and incubated at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO2 for 4 days. All the breast cancer cell lines were obtained from the ATCC. Cell viability was determined using the WST-8 (2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, monosodium salt) based Cell Counting-8 Kit (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Inc., Rockville, Md.) according to the manufacture's instruction. Briefly, WST-8 was added to each well at a final concentration of 10% (v/v), and then the plates were incubated at 37° C. for 1-2 hours for color development. The absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a SPECTRAmax PLUS plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). The IC50 was calculated using the GraphPad Prism 5 software.
For prostate cancer cell lines, VCaP prostate cancer cells were grown in DMEM with Glutamax (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS (Invitrogen) in 5% CO2 cell culture incubator. All cell lines were tested and found to be free of mycoplasma contamination. Cells were seeded in 96-well plates at 2,000-10,000 cells per well (optimum density for growth) in a total volume of 100 ml media containing 10% FBS. Serially diluted compounds in 100 ml media were added to the cells 12 h later. After 96 h incubation, cell viability was assessed by Cell-Titer GLO (Promega). The values were normalized and IC50 was calculated using GraphPad Prism software.
Cell growth inhibition of representative Compounds of the Disclosure in MOLM13 leukemia and MDA-MB-436 breast cancer cell lines are presented in Table 3, and in VCaP prostate cancer cell lines presented in Table 4.

Example 174
AR Signaling is Blocked by BET Bromodomain Inhibitors
A panel of 5 prostate cancer and 1 benign prostate cell line was treated with the JQ1. Three of the AR-signaling positive cells were found to be sensitive to JQ1, though all six cell lines express high levels of its target proteins (FIG. 1). Next, knockdown of BRD2/3/4 (data not shown) showed significant inhibition of cell proliferation/invasion, phenocopying JQ1-treatment (data not shown). Further, JQ1-treatment induced G0-G1 arrest, apoptosis and associated transcriptional downregulation of the anti-apoptotic BCL-xl protein in AR-positive cells (FIG. 2) (Filippakopoulos, P. et al., Nature 468:1067-1073 (2010); Mertz, J. A. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 108:16669-16674 (2011)). Similar to BCL2 down-regulation by the BET-inhibitor, I-BET151, in leukemia (Dawson, M. A. et al., Nature 478:529-533 (2011)); reduction in BCL-xl by JQ1 could in part be explained by the observation of loss of BRD2/3/4 recruitment to its promoter region (data not shown). Even at 100 nM, long term colony-formation of AR-positive cells were severely inhibited with JQ1 (FIG. 3) with no apparent effect on JQ1 target proteins (data not shown). As AR-positive cells were preferentially sensitive to JQ1, it was examined whether JQ1 has an effect on AR-target genes. VCaP cells, which harbor the TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and AR amplification (Tomlins, S. A. et al., Science 310:644-648 (2005)), displayed a dose-dependent decrease in PSA and ERG—both at the mRNA and protein level (FIGS. 4 and 5). Similar effects of JQ1-treatment were seen in LNCaP and 22RV1 cells (data not shown). Furthermore, bortezomib did not reverse the JQ1-mediated PSA and ERG protein loss, indicating that these genes are regulated at the transcriptional level (data not shown). Microarray analysis was performed to examine changes in global gene expression upon JQ1-treatment. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) using the AR-gene signature (Table 6), revealed these genes were significantly repressed in AR-positive cells (FIG. 6) suggesting BET-protein regulation of AR-mediated transcription. Additionally, a loss of the MYC associated gene signature was observed in AR-positive cell lines upon JQ1-treatment (Table 7). MYC is a known transcriptional target of BET-inhibition in hematological cancers (Delmore, J. E. et al., Cell 146:904-917 (2011); Mertz, J. A. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA/08:16669-16674 (2011)). MYC levels were attenuated by JQ1 in cells which are AR-positive and sensitive to JQ1 inhibition, but not in AR-negative cells (data not shown). Thus, high expression of MYC per se (data not shown) does not confer sensitivity to JQ1 in prostate cancer cells. Time-course experiments with JQ1 demonstrated loss of MYC (data not shown), and cyclohexamide had no additional effect on MYC protein (data not shown), ruling out a post-translational mode of JQ1 action on MYC proteins. Phenotypically, knockdown of MYC did not affect cell invasion (data not shown), while JQ1-treatment inhibited invasion (data not shown). Additionally, exogenous expression of MYC did not result in a rescue of JQ1-mediated inhibition of cell growth (data not shown). Thus, while MYC levels may be repressed by JQ1 in AR-positive cells, and may have a role in proliferation, MYC does not appear to be the primary target for the anti-neoplastic effects of JQ1.
JQ1 block or AR target gene transcription (FIGS. 4-6) suggested that AR may interact with BRD4 which is known to engage sequence-specific DNA binding proteins (Wu, S. Y. et al., Mol Cell 49:843-857 (2013)). Gel-filtration-chromatography were performed and it was found that AR and BRD4 predominantly eluted together in a high-molecular weight complex (FIG. 7). Moreover, RNA PolII which was reported as a target for phosphorylation by BRD4 (Devaiah, B. N. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 109:6927-6932 (2012)) also co-eluted in the same complex, suggestive of the existence of a large multi-protein complex consisting of AR, BRD4 and RNA PolII. Immunoprecipitation experiments further confirmed an endogenous association between AR and BRD4 (FIG. 8). Additionally, an interaction between AR and BRD2/3 (FIG. 8) was observed, implying a common region in BRD2/3/4 proteins responsible for AR interaction. In order to map the region mediating this interaction, the ability of different deletion variants of BRD4 to pull-down AR in 293T cells (FIG. 9) was tested. It was found that truncated version of BRD4 which comprised BD1-BD2 domains maintained the ability to pull-down AR even at high salt concentrations (FIGS. 10 and 11). To determine whether the BD1-BD2 domains directly interact with AR, quantitative assessment of the binding affinity using the Octet-RED system was carried out. Varying concentrations of BD1-BD2 protein were applied to biosensors with immobilized AR, and it was found that BRD4 interacts with AR in a concentration dependent fashion, with an estimated Kd of 70 nM, supporting a high affinity interaction (FIG. 12). This interaction was fine-mapped to create a series of Halo-AR and GST-BRD4 constructs for in vitro pull-down studies that demonstrated that the BD1, and to a lesser extent the BD2, of BRD4 bind directly to NTD-domain of AR, which was further mapped to a 38 amino acid region NTD1b of AR (FIGS. 13-15). Subsequently, the disruption of BD1-AR and BD1-NTD1b interactions by JQ1 (FIG. 16) was observed. Likewise, JQ1 treated VCaP displayed loss of the endogenous BRD4-AR interaction (data not shown). Together, these data suggest that BET protein inhibition leads to disruption of the AR-BRD4 interaction and may account for the preferential activity of JQ1 in AR-positive prostate cancer cells.
Ubiquitously expressed BRD2/3/4 proteins are suggested to have overlapping functions (Dawson, M. A. et al., Nature 478:529-533 (2011); Filippakopoulos, P. et al., Nature 468:1067-1073 (2010); Belkina, A. C. and Denis, G. V., Nat Rev Cancer 12:465-477 (2012) and consistent with this, AR interaction with BRD2/3/4 was observed. BET-inhibitors such as JQ1 and I-BET762 are known for their high affinity binding toward BD1/BD2 domain of BRD2/3/4 proteins (Dawson, M. A. et al., Nature 478:529-533 (2011); Delmore, J. E. et al., Cell 146:904-917 (2011); Filippakopoulos, P. et al., Nature 468:1067-1073 (2010)). This suggests that BET-inhibitors might affect genome-wide recruitment of all the three BET-proteins. Towards this end, ChIP-seq with antibodies against BRD2/3/4 in VCaP cells treated with JQ1 or I-BET762 (Table 8) was performed. A high genome-wide overlap between BRD2/3/4 (62-86% peak overlap) was observed (data not shown). JQ1 or I-BET762 treatment led to a reduction in the recruitment of all three proteins to the chromatin (data not shown). Moreover, this reduced BRD2/3/4 recruitment was equally distributed for regions with or without AR (data not shown).
Binding of androgen (DHT) to AR leads to its activation/translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus where it binds to regions of DNA comprising AREs and results in subsequent recruitment of proteins involved in transcriptional activation or suppression in a gene-specific manner. BRD4 interacts with acetylated histones as well as DNA binding transcription factors, leading to context-dependent transcriptional activation or inhibition of target genes (Jang, M. K. et al., Mol Cell 19:523-534 (2005); Wu, S. Y. et al., Mol Cell 49:843-857 (2013); Belkina, A. C. and Denis, G. V., Nat Rev Cancer 12:465-477 (2012)). Since the AR-BRD4 interaction is disrupted by JQ1 (FIGS. 7-16), it was explored whether this affects AR localization in a genome-wide context. ChIP-seq with antibodies against AR, BRD4, and RNA PolII in cells that were either starved, treated with DHT, or DHT plus JQ1 (Table 8) were performed. Two anti-androgens, bicalutamide and MDV3100 were used for comparison. The average ChIP-seq signal for AR was highly enriched in DHT-treated cells (FIG. 17). Recruitment of AR to target loci was markedly attenuated by MDV3100 and less so by bicalutamide. JQ1 could block AR recruitment to a level almost equivalent to MDV3100 (FIG. 17). Furthermore, a co-recruitment of AR and BRD4 at 2031 sites was observed. The strongest association is observed within promoters of AR-regulated genes (502 promoters, p=4e-49), and for the highest AR peaks (1112 sites, p=1e-38) (FIG. 18). Limiting the evaluation to AR and BRD4 coincident peaks, it was observed that DHT can mediate AR recruitment to these loci which was inhibited by MDV3100 and to a lesser extent by JQ1 (FIG. 19). By contrast, JQ1 almost completely abrogated DHT induced BRD4 recruitment to the AR-BRD4 shared loci (FIG. 20). Examples of gene tracks for AR and BRD4 associated genomic regions such as enhancers and super-enhancers (Loven, J. et al., Cell 153:320-334 (2013)) and the effects of different treatments on their levels are shown in FIG. 21. In corroboration with the ChIP-seq data, gene expression analysis in VCaP and LNCaP cells displayed efficient repression of DHT-induced AR-target genes by JQ1 than MDV3100 or bicalutamide (data not shown).
Next, the oncogenic ERG expression in VCaP cells was explored since JQ1-treatment had a marked effect on its expression (FIGS. 4 and 5). The attenuation of DHT induced ERG expression by JQ1 was due to de-recruitment of RNA PolII from ERG gene body and reduced binding of AR and BRD4 on the TMPRSS2 promoter/enhancer (data not shown). This efficient ERG downregulation by JQ1 is compelling considering that the TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion product is a key oncogenic driver in 50% of prostate cancers (Tomlins, S. A. et al., Science 310:644-648 (2005); Chen, Y. et al., Nat Med 19:1023-1029 (2013)). Next, the effect of JQ1 on ERG mediated transcription was investigated. Towards this, ERG ChIP-seq in cells treated with JQ1 for 12 h was performed; a time window where ERG protein levels were still unaffected by JQ1 (data not shown). A significant loss in the-top 4% ERG enriched peaks was observed (data not shown). Next, the functional consequence of ERG de-recruitment by testing the expression of several of its target genes after JQ1-treatment was determined (data not shown). The ERG activated genes were down-regulated and ERG repressed genes were de-repressed by JQ1 (data not shown). To confirm the BET-inhibitors role in blocking ERG mediated oncogenic function in an isogenic setting, RWPE and PC3 cells overexpressing ERG were tested (data not shown). Treatment of JQ1 or I-BET762 led to attenuation of ERG-mediated invasion (data not shown) and GSEA demonstrated a highly significant negative enrichment for ERG target genes in these cells upon BET-inhibitor treatment (data not shown). Next, it was investigated whether ERG is involved in the transcriptional regulation of MYC. ERG was found to be highly enriched on the known distal-enhancer of MYC; but was reduced upon JQ1-treatment (data not shown). Likewise, ETV1 occupies the same distal-enhancer region in ETV1 fusion positive LNCaP (Chen, Y. et al., Nat Med 19:1023-1029 (2013). Knockdown of ERG and ETV1 along with AR led to MYC down-regulation, implicating ETS transcription factors in the regulation of MYC in fusion-positive prostate cancer cells (data not shown). ChIP-seq analysis of AR and RNA PolII enrichment at the MYC locus presented an interesting pattern where DHT treatment led to increased AR and reduced RNA PolII binding on the MYC distal-enhancer and gene body respectively, that was reinstated in the presence of MDV3100 or bicalutamide but not by JQ1 (data not shown), and this result was supported by the observed concomitant reduction in MYC expression upon DHT treatment that was de-repressed in the presence of MDV3100 but not by JQ1 (data not shown). Lack of de-repression of MYC by JQ1 in this setting could be explained by the fact that both AR and ERG are absent from the MYC distal-enhancer leading to net loss of MYC expression. This data also suggests a mechanism by which CRPC may become resistant to anti-androgen therapy by maintaining expression of the MYC oncogene.
JQ1 efficacy in comparison to MDV3100, a direct AR antagonist used clinically for advanced CRPC, was studied (Scher, H. I. et al., N Engl J Med 367:1187-1197 (2012)). Before embarking on the in vivo experiment, JQ1 and MDV3100 were tested on VCaP cells in vitro for 8 days. Marginal cell death for MDV3100 versus suppression of cell growth at sub-micromolar concentrations by JQ1 was observed (FIG. 22). No effect on physiologic androgen-regulated processes was found suggesting that JQI does not act a generic anti-androgen However, JQ1 reduced testes size in mice as reported earlier (Lin, T. H. et al., Cell Death Dis 4:e764 (2013)). (data not shown). Treatment of VCaP tumor-bearing mice with JQ1 led to significant reduction in tumor volume/weight (FIGS. 23-25). However, MDV3100 had a less pronounced effect. Recently, several studies described the pro-metastatic effects of MDV3100 in pre-clinical models (Lin, T. H. et al., Cell Death Dis 4:e764 (2013)). Whether MDV3100 treatment leads to spontaneous metastasis in the VCaP xenograft model was tested. Towards this, femur, liver and spleen from MDV3100 treated mice were isolated, and evidence of metastases in femur and liver was observed (data not shown). By contrast, JQ1 treated mice displayed no evidence of metastasis (data not shown). Taken together, these pre-clinical studies suggest that the use of MDV3100 in clinically localized prostate cancer may potentiate the formation of micro-metastases, which would not be the case with BET-inhibitors. Consistent with previous reports JQ1 and MDV3100 were well tolerated by mice (data not shown). Although VCaP cells were originally derived from a patient with CRPC, VCaP tumor xenograft respond to castration in mouse models. Whether JQ1 would still have a growth inhibitory effect in castration-resistant VCaP tumor xenografts was studied, and a 50% reduction in these castration-resistant tumors by JQ1-treatment was observed (FIG. 26).
Maintenance of AR signaling has been identified as the most common resistance mechanism that patients with advanced prostate cancer develop after conventional hormonal treatments (Harris, W. P. et al., Nat Clin Pract Urol 6:76-85 (2009)). AR amplification, mutation, and alternative splicing have all been suggested as potential resistance mechanisms to anti-androgen treatments (Chen, C. D. et al., Nat Med 10:33-39 (2004); Taplin, M. E. et al., Cancer Res 59:2511-2515 (1999); Sun, S. et al., J Clin Invest 120:2715-2730 (2010)). Over half of CRPC patients have at least one of these aberrations in the AR pathway (Grasso, C. S. et al., Nature 487:239-243 (2012). As BET-inhibitors function “downstream” of AR itself (FIG. 27), these data suggest that these compounds may be effective in the context of AR directed resistance mechanisms including compensatory mechanisms involving related steroid hormone receptors which are also likely to require BET bromodomain function. By functioning downstream of AR, BET-inhibition is less likely to be affected by acquired resistance associated with AR antagonists, including the recently identified F876L mutation of AR (Balbas, M. D. et al., Elife 2:e00499 (2013)). While both MDV3100 and JQ1 block AR recruitment to target loci on a genome-wide scale (the “AR cistrome”), it was found that JQ1 likely has an enhanced effect by fully abrogating co-recruitment of BRD4, which is required for mobilization of the transcriptional machinery (Jang, M. K. et al., Mol Cell 19:523-534 (2005); Yang, Z. et al., Mol Cell 19:535-545 (2005)). A recent study demonstrated that BET-inhibition leads to preferential loss of BRD4 at “super-enhancers” and consequent transcriptional elongation defects (Loven, J et al. Cell 153:320-334 (2013)). These super-enhancers were often associated with key oncogenic drivers in a variety of cancers. Tumor cells are thought to become addicted to selected oncogenes, and become unusually reliant on their high expression which may explain the preferential sensitivity of BET-inhibition in cancer versus normal tissues. While MYC and its association with multiple myeloma was highlighted as a super-enhancer dependent cancer (Loven, J. et al. Cell 153:320-334 (2013)), this framework likely applies to key transcription factors involved in the development of CRPC including AR, ETS, and MYC (FIG. 27). Taken together, these data strongly suggest the clinical evaluation of BET-inhibitors is warranted in CRPC, either as monotherapy or in combination with second generation anti-androgens.
Methods
Cell Culture
VCaP prostate cancer cells were grown in DMEM with Glutamax (Gibco), LNCaP, 22RV1, DU145 and PC3 prostate cancer cell lines were grown in RPMI 1640, all were supplemented with 10% FBS (Invitrogen) in 5% CO2 cell culture incubator. The immortalized benign prostate cell line RWPE-1 was grown in keratinocyte media with supplements (Lonza). All cell lines were tested and found to be free of mycoplasma contamination.
Cell Viability Assay
Cells were seeded in 96-well plates at 2000-10,000 cells/well (optimum density for growth) in a total volume of 100 μl media containing 10% FBS. Serially diluted compounds in 100 μl media were added to the cells 12 h later. Following 96 h. incubation, cell viability was assessed by Cell-Titer GLO (Promega). The values were normalized and IC50 was calculated using GraphPad Prism software. For long-term colony formation assay, 10,000-50,000 cells/well were seeded in six-well plates and treated with either 100 nM or 500 nM of JQ1 or DMSO. After 12 days cells were fixed with methanol, stained with crystal violet and photographed. For colorimetric assays, the stained wells were treated with 500 μl 10% acetic acid and the absorbance was measured at 560 nm using a spectrophotometer.
Cell Cycle Analysis
Cells were grown in 6 well plates and treated with varying concentrations of JQ1. For cell cycle analysis, cells were washed 48 h post-treatment with PBS and fixed in 70% ethanol overnight. The cells were washed again with PBS, stained with propidium iodide and analyzed by flow cytometry.
RNA Interference
For knockdown experiments, cells were seeded in six-well plates and transfected with 100 nM ON-TARGETplus SMARTpool siRNA (ThemoScientific) targeting BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, MYC or non-targeting control using oligofectamine (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were trypsinized 24 h post-transfection and used in cell proliferation and matrigel invasion assays as well as for RNA extractions to determine the knockdown efficiency. AR, ERG and ETV1 knockdown was achieved by transfecting 100 nM specific ON-TARGETplus SMARTpool siRNA using oligofectamine.
Cell Proliferation Assay
For cell proliferation assays post siRNA knockdown, 20,000 cells/well were seeded in 24-well plates (n=3), and cells were harvested and counted at the indicated time points by Coultercounter (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, Calif.).
VCaP, LNcaP and 22RV1 cells were transduced with either Ad-c-MYC (Vector Biolabs, cat. No. 1285) or LacZ control Adeno viral particles. 24 h post infection; equal number of cells were seeded in 24 well plates and treated with vehicle, JQ1 or I-BET762 at 500 nM concentration. Cells were counted at the indicated time points by Coulter Counter.
Matrigel Invasion Assays
Twenty-four hours post-infection with siRNA or 500 nM JQ1 treatment, 0.2×106 VCaP or 0.1×106 LNCaP cells were seeded in a transwell chamber pre-coated with Matrigel (BD Biosciences). Medium containing 10% FBS in the lower chamber served as chemoattractant. In the case of JQ1, 500 nM compound was added to both upper and lower chambers. After 48 h, the non-invading cells and EC matrix were gently removed with a cotton swab and invasive cells located on the lower side of the chamber were stained with crystal violet, air dried, photographed and counted.
PC3 and RWPE cells were treated with JQ1 or I-BET762 at 500 nM concentration along with DMSO control for 24 h prior to seeding 50,000 cells/well in a transwell chamber pre-coated with Matrigel along with the corresponding drugs used for treatment. Medium containing 10% FBS in the lower chamber served as chemoattractant. After 48 h, the non-invading cells and EC matrix were gently removed with a cotton swab and invasive cells located on the lower side of the chamber were stained with crystal violet, air dried and photographed. For colorimetric assays, the inserts were treated with 150 μl of 10% acetic acid and the absorbance measured at 560 nm using a spectrophotometer (GE Healthcare).
RNA Isolation and Quantitative Real-Time PCR
Total RNA was isolated from cells using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) and cDNA was synthesized from 1,000 ng total RNA using SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis SuperMix (Invitrogen). QPCRs were performed in duplicate or triplicate using Taqman assays (Applied Biosystems) or standard SYBR green reagents and protocols on a StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems). The target mRNA expression was quantified using ΔΔCt method and normalized to GAPDH expression. All primers were designed using Primer 3 (http://frodo.wi.mit.edu/primer3/) and synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies (Coralville, Iowa). The primer sequences for the SYBR green and catalogue numbers for TaqMan assays used are provided in Table 9.
Antibodies and Immunoblot Analyses
Antibodies used in the study are listed in Table 10. All antibodies were employed at dilutions suggested by the manufacturers. For Western blot analysis, 200 ug total protein extract was boiled in sample buffer and 10-20 μg aliquots were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred onto Polyvinylidene Difluoride membrane (GE Healthcare). The membrane was incubated for one hour in blocking buffer [Tris-buffered saline, 0.1% Tween (TBS-T), 5% nonfat dry milk] followed by incubation overnight at 4° C. with the primary antibody. Following a wash with TBS-T, the blot was incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody and signals were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence system as per manufacturer's protocol (GE Healthcare).
Immunoprecipitations
For endogenous immunoprecipitation experiments, nuclear extracts were obtained from VCaP and LNCaP cells using NE-PER nuclear extraction kit (Thermo Scientific). Nuclear pellet was then lysed in IP buffer (20 mM Tris pH7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton-X 100, Protease Inhibitor) by sonication. Nuclear lysates (0.5-1.0 mg) were pre-cleaned by incubation with protein G Dynabeads (Life Technologies) for 1 h. on a rotator at 4° C. 5 μg antibody was added to the pre-cleared lysates and incubated on a rotator at 4° C. overnight prior to the addition of protein G Dynabeads for 1 h. Beads were washed thrice in IP buffer and resuspended in 40 μL of 2× loading buffer and boiled at 90° C. for 10 minutes for separation of the protein and beads. Samples were then analyzed by SDS-PAGE and western blotting as described above. For endogenous competitive assays, the VCaP cells were incubated with 5 or 2504 JQ1 for 6 h prior to nuclear protein extractions.
For co-immunonoprecipitation experiments in 293T cells, plasmids encoding different deletions of BRD4 in pCDNA4c, (Addgene) and full length AR in pFN21 plasmid (Promega) were transfected using Fugene 6.0 HD (Roche) according to the manufacturer's instruction. Twenty four h post transfection; total proteins were extracted using IP buffer supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail mix (Sigma), and checked for the expressions of the corresponding proteins by immunoblotting. Immunoprecipitation using Halo-beads followed by immunoblotting with anti-His antibody were performed as described above.
Cell Free Protein-Protein Interaction Studies
In vitro protein expression was carried out by cloning the desired expression cassettes downstream of a Halo- or GST-tag to create fusion proteins. Briefly, AR and its sub-domains were cloned into the pFN2K vector containing N-terminal GST sequence (Cat. #G1891, Promega); BRD4 and its sub-domains were cloned into the pFN19A vector containing N-terminal Halo sequence (Cat. #C8461, Promega). After cloning, the fusion proteins were expressed using the cell-free transcription and translation system (Cat. #L5030, Promega) following the manufacturer's protocol. For each reaction, protein expression was confirmed by Western blot.
A total of 10 μl cell-free reaction containing halo- and GST-tag fusion proteins were incubated in PBST (0.1% tween) at 4° C. overnight. Ten microliter HaloLink beads (Cat. #G931, Promega) were blocked in BSA at 4° C. for overnight. After washes with PBS, the beads were mixed with AR-BRD4 mixture and incubated at RT for 1 h. Halolink beads were then washed with PBST for 4 times and eluted in SDS loading buffer. Proteins were separated on SDS gel and blotted with anti-GST Ab (GE healthcare). For competitive assay, AR-BD1, NTD1b-BD1 and AR-BD2 mixture was incubated in the presence of different dose of JQ1.
AR:BRD4 Direct Interaction Assays by OctetRED
The binding affinity between AR and BRD4 was determined by biolayer interferometry technology using the OctetRED system (ForteBio). Recombinant AR protein (Cat. #AR-8486H, Creative Biomart) was biotinylated by EZ-Link NHS-PEG4 Biotinylation Kit (Cat. #21329, Thermo Scientific) following the manufacturer's protocol and any unincorporated biotin was removed from the reactions with Zeba 2 ml desalt columns. Biotinylated proteins (5 m/ml) were then incubated with super streptavidin biosensors (Cat. #18-5057, ForteBio) in binding buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl) and washed three times in binding buffer. BRD4 (BD1-BD2) protein (Cat. #31047, BPS Biosciences) was serially diluted in binding buffer, and the AR:BRD4 association/dissociation was monitored by OctetRED for 10 min at 25° C. Non-specific binding was controlled by subtracting the signal obtained from AR:RNF2 interactions from that of AR:BRD4 interactions and baseline signal drift was controlled by monitoring immobilized AR without BRD4. OctetRED analysis software was used to analyze the data.
Gene Expression Array Analysis
VCaP, LNCaP, 22RV1 and DU145 cells were treated with 500 nM JQ1 for 24 h and total RNA extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) for gene expression array analysis. For anti-androgen comparative study, VCaP and LNCaP cells were grown in media containing 10% charcoal-striped serum for 48 h followed by pre-treatment with 500 nM JQ1, 10 μM MDV3100 or 25 μM Bicalutamide for 6 h and stimulated with 10 nM DHT (androgen) for 18 h. Cells treated with only vehicle or 10 nM DHT served as controls. For the effect of BET inhibitors in isogenic ERG system, RWPE-ERG and PC3-ERG cells were treated with 500 nM JQ1 or I-BET762 for 24 h. Expression profiling was performed using the Agilent Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray (SantaClara, Calif.) according to the manufacturer's protocol. All samples were run in technical duplicates or quadruplets against control. Over- and under-expressed gene sets were generated by filtering to include only 2-fold average over- or underexpression (Log ratio with p<0.001) in all hybridizations. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed using the JAVA program (http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsea) as described in Subramanian, A. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102:15545-15550 (2005).
The AR target gene signature used in GSEA analysis was generated from common up-regulated genes in VCaP and LNCaP upon DHT treatment and the gene list is provided in Table 6.
The ERG gene signature was generated by extracting 2-fold up genes from RWPE and PC3 cells stably expressing ERG compared to respective LacZ expressing cells. GSEA was performed using this gene set on gene expression data obtained from the JQ1 and I-BET762 treated RWPE and PC3 cells. GSEA using gene set that were not changed upon expression of ERG to exclude the possibility that treatment with JQ1 and I-BET762 may change gene expression in a non-specific fashion was also tested.
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and ChIP-Seq
The ChIP assays for BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, AR, RNA PolII, ERG and H3K27ac were performed using HighCell ChIP kit (Diagenode) according to manufacturer's protocol. For BRD2/3/4 ChIP-seq experiments with BET inhibitors, VCaP cells were treated with 500 nM JQ1 or I-BET762 for 12 h. For AR signaling ChIP-seq experiments, VCaP cells were grown in charcoal-stripped serum containing media for 48 h followed by 6 h pre-treatment with vehicle or 500 nM JQ1 or 10 μM MDV3100 or 25 μM Bicalutamide and then stimulated with 10 nM DHT for 12 h. For ERG ChIP-seq studies, VCaP cells were treated with 500 nM JQ1 or vehicle for 12 h. Next, cells were cross-linked for 10 min. with 1% formaldehyde. Cross-linking was terminated by the addition of 1/10 volume 1.25 M glycine for 5 min. at room temperature followed by cell lysis and sonication (Bioruptor, Diagenode), resulting in an average chromatin fragment size of 200 bp. Chromatin equivalent to 5×106 cells were used for ChIP using different antibodies. ChIP DNA was isolated (IPure Kit, Diagenode) from samples by incubation with the antibody at 4° C. overnight followed by wash and reversal of cross-linking. The ChIP-seq sample preparation for sequencing was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions (Illumina). ChIP-enriched DNA samples (1-10 ng) were converted to blunt-ended fragments using T4 DNA polymerase, E. coli DNA polymerase I large fragment (Klenow polymerase) and T4 polynuleotide kinase (New England BioLabs, NEB). A single A-base was added to fragment ends by Klenow fragment (3′ to 5′ exo minus; NEB) followed by ligation of Illumina adaptors (Quick ligase, NEB). The adaptor-modified DNA fragments were enriched by PCR using the Illumina Barcode primers and Phusion DNA polymerase (NEB). PCR products were size selected using 3% NuSieve agarose gels (Lonza) followed by gel extraction using QIAEX II reagents (QIAGEN). Libraries were quantified with the Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent) and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 Sequencer (100 nucleotide read length).
ChIP-Seq Analysis
ChIP-Seq Enrichment Levels: ChIP enrichment levels within a peak (or site) were calculated from the sequencing data as follows: (1) reads were aligned to the HG19 reference genome using Bowtie2 (Langmead, B. and Salzberg, S. L., Nat Methods 9:357-359 (2012)) with all default settings. (2) Aligned reads were sorted using NovoSort and exact duplicates were removed using Samtools (Li, H. et al., Bioinformatics 25:2078-2079 (2009)). (3) For each peak (site) overlapping reads were counted and this count was divided by the length of the peak or site. (4) To correct for differences in sequencing depth and alignment coverage the values are further normalized by the number of aligned reads per million.
ChIP-Seq Reproducibility Plots: To assess the biological variability of AR and ERG ChIP-seq experiments, the enrichment levels of their respective replicates were compared. For each replicate peaks were called using MACS with all default setting against an IgG control. Peaks within genomic regions prone to technical-artifacts were exclude (Pickrell, J. K. et al., Bioinformatics 27:2144-2146 (2011)). For each replicate pair, a set of concordant peaks as those overlapping in both replicates was defined. For each concordant peak, enrichment levels within the union of the two overlapping peaks were calculated. The scatter plots include all peaks with enrichment levels up-to the 99th percentile.
Overlaps of Bromodomain Proteins: The genome-wide distribution of BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 peaks in DMSO treated VcaP cells was compared. First, peaks for each of the proteins using MACS with all default settings and IgG control were called. A moderately stringent significance cut-off (MACS score>100) was used. Next, all genomic regions that were enriched for at least one of the proteins were identified. Specifically, all stringent peaks were “reduced” using GenomicRanges (Lawrence, M et al., PLoS Comput Biol 9:e1003118 (2013)). For each of those regions, it was established which of the Bromodomain proteins were enriched to count the number of overlaps.
Drug-Induced Changes of Bromodomain Protein Enrichment Levels For each protein (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4), quantitative changes in their respective enrichment levels upon drug treatment (I-BET762, JQ1) relative to the levels in the DMSO control were assessed. First, for all conditions and proteins, peaks were called as in Overlaps of bromodomain proteins were called. Next, for each protein separately, genomic that were enriched in any (union) of the treatment conditions (DMSO, I-BET762, or JQ1) were identified. Within those regions enrichment levels as described in (ChIP-seq enrichment levels) were quantified. Since enrichment levels of different proteins are not directly comparable, all enrichments to the median level of the (DMSO) control were normalized.
Differential AR-BRD4 Enrichment and AR-BRD4 Overlap HPeak, a Hidden Markov model (HMM)-based peak-calling software (Qin, Z. S. et al., BMC Bioinformatics 11:369 (2010)) designed for the identification of protein-interactive genomic regions, was employed for ChIP-seq peak determination. For enrichment plots shown in FIGS. 17, 19 and 20, identified peaks for each sample are centered by peak summit and average coverage per million was counted within 1500 bp relative to the peak center. The overlap of AR and BRD4 enriched regions were calculated by BEDtools (Quinlan, A. R. and Hall, I. M., Bioinformatics 26:841-842 (2010)) The significance of overlap between AR and BRD4 binding was calculated using hypergeometric test based on the derived number of associated genes. The heatmap for AR peak enrichment was generated using python-based script on raw data and visualized using JavaTreeView (Saldanha, A. J., Bioinformatics 20:3246-3248 (2004)).
Differential ERG Enrichment: Sites with significant differences in ERG levels between DMSO and JQ1 treated cells were identified. First, concordant peaks (see ChIP-seq reproducibility plots) that were overlapping or in the +/−5 kbp proximity of annotated gene loci were identified. A gene locus was defined as the union of all of its known transcripts (Ensembl Genes 73). DESeq2 was used to assess the statistical significance of differences in ERG enrichment levels. Although DESeq2 was originally developed for RNA-seq its statistical model is well-suited to count data in general. The tools' default multiple hypothesis correction method and report peaks with significant differences in ERG levels (adjusted P-value<0.1) was used. To assess quantitative differences in ERG levels at significantly “gained” (positive difference in ERG levels upon JQ1 treatment) and “lost” (negative difference in ERG levels upon JQ1 treatment) the same procedure as in ChIP-seq enrichment levels was followed.
Murine Prostate Tumor Xenograft Model
Four week-old male SCID C.B17 mice were procured from a breeding colony at University of Michigan. All procedures involving mice were approved by the University Committee on Use and Care of Animals (UCUCA) at the University of Michigan and conform to all regulatory standards. Mice were anesthetized using 2% Isoflurane (inhalation) and 2×106 VCaP prostate cancer cells suspended in 100 μl of PBS with 50% Matrigel (BD Biosciences) were implanted subcutaneously into the dorsal flank on both sides of the mice. Once the tumors reached a palpable stage (100 mm3), the animals were randomized and treated with either 10 mg/kg body weight MDV3100 or 50 mg/kg body weight (doses previously used in mouse prostate cancer and multiple myeloma models) (Delmore, J. E. et al., Cell 146:904-917 (2011); Tran, C. et al., Science 324:787-790 (2009)) by oral gavage or intraperitonially respectively for five days a week. Growth in tumor volume was recorded using digital calipers and tumor volumes were estimated using the formula (π/6) (L×W2), where L=length of tumor and W=width. Loss of body weight during the course of the study was also monitored. At the end of the studies mice were sacrificed and tumors extracted and weighed. Additionally, femur bone marrow, liver and spleen were harvested to examine spontaneous metastasis by detecting human-Alu sequence. Briefly, genomic DNA from femur bone marrow, liver and spleen were prepared using Puregene DNA purification system (Qiagen), followed by quantification of human ALU sequence by human Alu specific Fluorogenic TaqMan qPCR probes as described (Tran, C. et al., Science 324:787-790 (2009); van der Horst, E. H. et al., Biotechniques 37:940-942, 944, 946 (2004)). For CRPC experiment, VCaP tumor bearing mice were castrated when the tumors were approximately 200 mm3 in size and randomized later once the tumor grew back to the pre-castration size and treated with JQ1 or vehicle (D5W) control. All procedures involving mice were approved by the University Committee on Use and Care of Animals (UCUCA) at the University of Michigan and conform to all regulatory standards.
Prostate Histology and Hormone Measurement
Four to five weeks old male SCID C.B17 mice were administered vehicle, 10 mg/kg MDV3100 or 50 mg/kg JQ1, by oral gavage or intraperitonially, respectively for five days a week. Highly hormone responsive seminal vesicles attached to prostate were harvested from mice after four weeks of injection. Prostate were fixed in formalin solution and processed for sectioning. Standard H&E staining was achieved on the formalin fixed sections and were used to image the different lobes of the gland. To determine the testosterone levels, blood samples were collected by cardiac puncture from mice anesthetized with isoflurane. The serum was separated from the blood and stored at −80° C. until assayed. Serum testosterone levels were measured by the Ligand Assay at University of Michigan-ULAM Pathology Cores for Animal Research.
