    Involvements of decapping scavenger enzyme DcpS in the progression of glioblastoma (WCC Halls A-C) -  Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #Neuroscience2023NEUROSCIENCE_7200;    
    Thus, we focused on RG3039, an decapping scavenger enzyme (DcpS) inhibitor, which can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and be used orally...N-cadherin is one of the major intercellular adhesion molecules and is known to induce interactions such as proliferation and differentiation in various cancer cells. Taken together, these results suggested that DcpS contributes to GBM progression through the expression of N-cadherin, and DcpS selective inhibitors are expected to be a novel treatment for GBM.

    Journal:  Ferroptosis induced by DCPS depletion diminishes hepatic metastasis in uveal melanoma. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 19, 2023   
    We found that inhibition of DCPS by shRNA or RG3039 induced gene transcript alteration and ferroptosis through reducing the mRNA turnover of GLRX...Furthermore, targeting DCPS diminished hepatic metastasis of UM cells. These findings may shed light on the understanding of DCPS-mediated pre-mRNA metabolic pathway in UM by which disseminated cells gain enhanced malignant features to promote hepatic metastasis, providing a rational target for metastatic colonization in UM.

    Journal:  Targeted Degradation of mRNA Decapping Enzyme DcpS by a VHL-Recruiting PROTAC. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 20, 2022   
    JCS-1 non-covalently binds DcpS with a RG3039-based warhead and recruits the E3 ligase VHL, which induces potent, rapid, and sustained DcpS degradation in several AML cell lines. JCS-1 serves as a chemical biology tool to interrogate DcpS degradation and associated changes in RNA processes in different cellular contexts, which may be an attractive strategy for the treatment of AML and other DcpS-dependent genetic disorders.
