Targeting nucleotide biosynthesis is a proven strategy for the treatment of cancer but is limited by toxicity, reflecting the fundamental nucleotide requirement of dividing cells. The rate limiting step in de novo pyrimidine synthesis is of interest, being catalyzed by two homologous enzymes, CTP synthase 1 (CTPS1) and CTPS2, that could be differentially targeted. Herein, analyses of publicly available datasets identified an essential role for CTPS1 in multiple myeloma (MM), linking high expression of CTPS1 (but not CTPS2) with advanced disease and poor outcomes. In cellular experiments, CTPS1 knockout induced apoptosis of MM cell lines. Exposure of MM cells to STP-B, a novel and highly selective pharmacological inhibitor of CTPS1, inhibited proliferation, induced S phase arrest and led to cell death by apoptosis. Mechanistically, CTPS1 inhibition by STP-B activated DNA damage response (DDR) pathways and induced double-strand DNA breaks which accumulated in early S phase. Combination of STP-B with pharmacological inhibitors of key components of the DDR pathway (ATR, CHEK1 or WEE1) resulted in synergistic growth inhibition and early apoptosis. Taken together, these findings identify CTPS1 as a promising new target in MM, either alone or in combination with DDR pathway inhibition.

Cytidine triphosphate (CTP) synthetase 1 (CTPS1) deficiency is caused by a unique homozygous frameshift splice mutation (c.1692-1G>C, p.T566Dfs26X). CTPS1-deficient patients display severe bacterial and viral infections. CTPS1 is responsible for CTP nucleotide de novo production involved in DNA/RNA synthesis. Herein, we characterized in depth lymphocyte defects associated with CTPS1 deficiency. Immune phenotyping performed in 7 patients showed absence or low numbers of mucosal-associated T cells, invariant NKT cells, memory B cells, and NK cells, whereas other subsets were normal. Proliferation and IL-2 secretion by T cells in response to TCR activation were markedly decreased in all patients, while other T cell effector functions were preserved. The CTPS1T566Dfs26X mutant protein was found to be hypomorphic, resulting in 80%-90% reduction of protein expression and CTPS activity in cells of patients. Inactivation of CTPS1 in a T cell leukemia fully abolished cell proliferation. Expression of CTPS1T566Dfs26X failed to restore proliferation of CTPS1-deficient leukemia cells to normal, except when forcing its expression to a level comparable to that of WT CTPS1. This indicates that CTPS1T566Dfs26X retained normal CTPS activity, and thus the loss of function of CTPS1T566Dfs26X is completely attributable to protein instability. This study supports that CTPS1 represents an attractive therapeutic target to selectively inhibit pathological T cell proliferation, including lymphoma.

CTP Synthase 1 Is a Novel Therapeutic Target in Lymphoma

Article

Lymphoma is the most common hematological malignancy and is among the 10 most prevalent cancers worldwide. Although survival has been improved by modern immunochemotherapeutic regimens, there remains a significant need for novel targeted agents to treat both B-cell and T-cell malignancies. Cytidine triphosphate synthase 1 (CTPS1), which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in pyrimidine synthesis, plays an essential and nonredundant role in B-cell and T-cell proliferation but is complemented by the homologous CTPS2 isoform outside the hemopoietic system. This report describes the identification and characterization of CTPS1 as a novel target in B- and T-cell cancers. A series of small molecules have been developed which show potent and highly selective inhibition of CTPS1. Site-directed mutagenesis studies identified the adenosine triphosphate pocket of CTPS1 as the binding site for this small molecule series. In preclinical studies, a potent and highly selective small molecule inhibitor of CTPS1 blocked the in vitro proliferation of human neoplastic cells, showing the highest potency against lymphoid neoplasms. Importantly, pharmacological CTPS1 inhibition induced cell death by apoptosis in the majority of lymphoid cell lines tested, thus demonstrating a cytotoxic mechanism of action. Selective CTPS1 inhibition also inhibited the growth of neoplastic human B- and T- cells in vivo. These findings identify CTPS1 as a novel therapeutic target in lymphoid malignancy. A compound from this series is in phase 1/2 clinical studies for the treatment of relapsed/refractory B- and T-cell lymphoma (NCT05463263).

Concr launches trial using digital twins for outcome prediction in breast cancer

London, United Kingdom, 10 July 2024 – Concr announces that first patients have been recruited to the VISION trial, an observational clinical study evaluating Concr’s therapeutic response predictive algorithm defining biomarkers of chemotherapy and immunotherapy response in early Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). VISION (NCT06409221) is an observational retrospective study focusing on women who were previously diagnosed with early TNBC and received chemotherapy followed by curative breast surgery. The 24-month-long study will collect historical clinical data and pro cancer biopsy samples from up to 200 women in order to identify and validate biomarkers of chemotherapy response, with and without immunotherapy. “Triple Negative breast cancer is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer. Hence, Concr has prioritised this clinical indication as a key research area by sponsoring the VISION study. The VISION study will test the value created through the combination of clinical data, genomic data and machine learning approaches for enabling treatment stratification at an individual level. We believe this approach will represent the next generation of diagnostic platforms in cancer care” shared Dr Uzma Asghar, Concr’s Chief Scientific Officer and VISION Project Lead. The multi-centre study featuring UK and Australian sites backed by a prestigious Innovate UK Precision Medicine project grant (AI-VISION) was announced earlier this year, with key partners The Institute of Cancer Research, London, and The Institute for Computational Cosmology at Durham University. Patients will be recruited from The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, a globally-leading specialist cancer hospital, going live as the primary clinical site last month. Dr Navita Somaiah, Principal Investigator and Clinician Scientist at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, and Clinical Oncologist at The Royal Marsden, said: “We’re very pleased to take the next step in this innovative project, which is using AI to try to uncover new methods to predict which women with triple negative breast cancer may respond better or less well to current therapies. We hope this collaboration will ultimately help to guide treatment for some women with this form of breast cancer”. Concr’s FarrSight®-Twin technology will utilise genomic data from diagnostic and surgical breast cancer samples together with whole-slide imaging and clinical data from trial participants to create a “digital twin” of every individual patient, which will be used to predict treatment response to chemotherapy (anthracycline, taxanes, platinum, anti-metabolites) and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab). Subsequently, FarrSight® will be used to explore biological mechanisms behind sensitivity to chemotherapy +/- immunotherapy. This approach could pave a way to better stratify and treat TNBC, which disproportionately affects black women, while simultaneously testing a novel approach that could be readily deployed in clinic. “While much of the dialogue surrounding AI in healthcare focuses on its potential, we must not overlook the fact that AI tools can - and do - deliver tangible benefits to patients today. VISION is testing a novel individualised care approach designed by clinicians, leveraging latest technology alongside existing diagnostic tests, to facilitate rapid adoption.” commented Concr’s CEO Dr Irina Babina.
