项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a malignancy that initially responds to standard of care agents. Unfortunately, however, all patients relapse with disease that is refractory to further treatment. We hypothesize that progression and maintenance of MM requires balanced CD44 signaling that controls homeostasis of intracellular Ca2+ pools, as we have shown that a first in class, in-house small molecule selective agonist of CD44 coined MTI-101 provokes toxic increases in the levels of intracellular Ca2+ that trigger MM cell necrosis. Further, we have identified key effectors downstream of CD44 that appear to control intracellular Ca2+ levels and to contribute to MTI-101-induced necrotic cell death, specifically an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident thiol oxidoreductase coined Ero1L and its target Stim1, an ER/plasma membrane (single-pass) calcium sensor. Importantly, we have also shown that: (i) MTI-101 has activity against both primary and relapsed multiple myeloma; (ii) Ero1L expression in MM patient samples correlates with sensitivity to MTI-101; and (iii) knockdown of Ero1L augments the sensitivity of MM to bortezomib-induced cell death. In Specific Aim 1 we will fully interrogate the status of the CD44-Ero1L-Stim1-Ca2+ circuit in primary myeloma specimens (MGUS, newly diagnosed and proteasome inhibitor refractory disease) and will assess effects of CD44 engagement by MTI-101 versus its natural ligand hyaluronic acid (HA) on intracellular Ca2+ levels and MM cell survival. We will also evaluate if levels of Ero1L and Stim1 in primary and relapsed MM correlate with sensitivity to MTI-101, with changes in intracellular Ca2+ pools following CD44 engagement, and with clinical resistance to bortezomib treatment. In Specific Aim 2 genetic and biochemical approaches will be used to assess the regulation and roles of Ero1L and Stim1 in the response to MTI-101 versus HA, and their roles in MTI-101 and bortezomib efficacy as therapeutics for myeloma in vivo. Finally, in Specific Aim 3 we will use mathematical models and validation studies to optimize single agent and combination therapy with MTI-101. We submit the proposed studies will establish the mechanism of action and efficacy of this exciting new agent that targets CD44-Ero1L- Stim1-Ca2+ circuit in both primary and relapsed multiple myeloma.

描述（由申请人提供）：多发性骨髓瘤 (MM) 是一种恶性肿瘤，最初对标准护理药物有反应，但不幸的是，所有患者都会复发，并且难以接受进一步治疗，因此我们努力平衡 MM 的进展和维持。 CD44 信号传导控制细胞内 Ca2+ 池的稳态，正如我们所证明的，首创的内部 CD44 小分子选择性激动剂创造的 MTI-101 会激发细胞内 Ca2+ 水平的毒性增加会引发 MM 细胞坏死此外，我们还发现了 CD44 下游的关键效应子，这些效应子似乎控制着细胞内 Ca2+ 水平并导致 MTI-101 诱导的坏死性细胞死亡，特别是内质网 (ER)。 ) 固有硫醇氧化还原酶创造了 Ero1L 及其靶标 Stim1，一种 ER/质膜（单程）钙传感器。我们还表明：(i) MTI-101 对原发性和复发性多发性骨髓瘤均具有活性；(ii) MM 患者样本中的 Ero1L 表达与 MTI-101 的敏感性相关；(iii) Ero1L 的敲低可增强多发性骨髓瘤的敏感性； MM 与硼替佐米诱导的细胞死亡在特定目标 1 中，我们将全面询问 CD44-Ero1L-Stim1-Ca2+ 回路的状态。我们将评估 MTI-101 与其天然配体透明质酸 (HA) 结合的 CD44 对细胞内 Ca2+ 水平和 MM 细胞存活的影响。原发性和复发性 MM 中的 Ero1L 和 Stim1 与 MTI-101 的敏感性、CD44 参与后细胞内 Ca2+ 池的变化以及临床症状相关在具体目标 2 中，将使用遗传和生化方法来评估 Ero1L 和 Stim1 在 MTI-101 与 HA 反应中的调节和作用，以及它们在 MTI-101 和硼替佐米治疗骨髓瘤的疗效中的作用。最后，在具体目标 3 中，我们将使用数学模型和验证研究来优化 MTI-101 的单药和联合治疗。建立了这种令人兴奋的新药物的作用机制和功效，该药物针对原发性和复发性多发性骨髓瘤中的 CD44-Ero1L-Stim1-Ca2+ 回路。
