Kurzfassung:
HASPIN, a mitotic kinase to phosphorylate Histone H3 at centromere, has been studied as a promising target for anti-cancer therapy. However, as HASPIN belongs to atypical kinase, lacking the Asp-Phe-Gly (DFG) motif, development from the chemical library of kinase inhibitors with conventional pharmacophore, would be technically challenging. In particular, one of adenosine analogues (LJ4827), a potent inhibitor of multi-kinases, showing clear anti-cancer activity in vitro and in vivo, was predicted as a HASPIN inhibitor by computation analysis of its transcriptome profile in cancer cells to drug-omic data set in the connectivity MAP (cMAP) as it shared similar transcriptome profile of 5-iodotubercidin (5ITU). The specificity and potency as HASPIN inhibitor of LJ4827 (IC50 = 0.45 nM) validated by in vitro kinase screening and consequent 3D structure modeling. As expected, treatment of LJ4827 in cancer cell lines efficiently delayed mitotic progression without double strand break (DSB) unlike 5ITU and significantly attenuated Aurora B localization at centromere. Along with clinical significance of HASPIN expression in lung cancer patients, mitotic gene signature closely associated to high expression of HASPIN, revealed the poor prognosis. Additional computational analysis of kinase perturbation data to predict the dependency of mitotic kinase in the absence of HASPIN activity, revealed the synthetic lethal effect of cotreatment of the chemical inhibitor of BUB1, PLK1 or AURKA with LJ4827. These data suggest that combined inhibition of HASPIN with the novel inhibitor and key mitotic kinases for centromere/kinetochore regulation would be effectivity therapeutic approach for cancer therapy.
