Advancing treatment in high-grade serous ovarian cancer through targeting of RNA splicing (Poster and Exhibition Hall; Poster Board No EACR25-0866) - Jun 29, 2025 - Abstract #EACR2025EACR_1039; An increase in antigen-presenting cells (APCs) such as cDCs may reflect a rise in neoantigens available for identification, aligning with our hypothesis. Overall, these results could suggest a complex immunomodulatory effect following RBM39 depletion, which could potentially benefit patients receiving immunotherapies.

Journal: Targeting RBM39 suppresses tumor growth and sensitizes osteosarcoma cells to cisplatin. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 24, 2025 Importantly, our results reveal that the pharmacological depletion of RBM39 by using the anti-cancer aryl sulfonamide (E7820), a drug known for its oral bioavailability and safe administration, effectively represses osteosarcoma growth and sensitizes osteosarcoma cells to cisplatin treatment both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings unveil the crucial role of RBM39 in modulating tumor growth and cisplatin sensitivity in osteosarcoma cells, suggesting that the combination of aryl sulfonamides with cisplatin may benefit patients with osteosarcoma.

(Pubmed Central) - May 25, 2024 Furthermore, E7820, in combination with olaparib, exerted a synergistic effect, and E7820 was even effective in an olaparib-resistant cell line. In conclusion, HRD is a promising predictive biomarker of E7820 efficacy and has a high potential to improve the prognosis of patients with HRD-positive cancers.

Journal: Native mass spectrometry of complexes formed by molecular glues reveals stoichiometric rearrangement of E3 ligases. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 19, 2024 Moreover, we uncovered that the DCAF15?:?DDA1?:?DDB1 E3 ligase self-associates into dimers and trimers when analysed alone at low salt concentrations (100 mM ammonium acetate) which dissociate into single copies of the complex at higher salt concentrations (500 mM ammonium acetate), or upon the addition of MG and POI, forming a 1?:?1?:?1 ternary complex. This work demonstrates the strength of nMS in TPD research, reveals novel binding mechanisms of the DCAF15 E3 ligase, and its self-association into dimers and trimers at reduced salt concentration during structural analysis.

Attenuation of Graft-Versus-Host-Disease Via Genetic or Pharmacologic Inhibition of the RNA Splicing Factor RBM39 (ENMCC - 391-392) - Nov 4, 2022 - Abstract #ASH2022ASH_3452; P2 Our results identify cell-type specific roles for RBM39 in hematopoiesis and immune cells and suggest a therapeutic approach for GVHD via direct modulation of RNA splicing. Of note, as the RBM39 degrader E7820 is currently in phase II clinical trials for relapsed myeloid neoplasms, our previous studies and this data identify a treatment for myeloid neoplasms in the post-transplant setting, where RBM39 degraders mediate both direct and immune-mediated anti-tumor effects while also attenuating GVHD via modulation of RNA splicing in T cells.

Journal: Targeted protein degradation and regulation with molecular glue: past and recent discoveries. (Pubmed Central) - May 19, 2022 An immunomodulatory imide drug, thalidomide, and its derivatives have been used in the clinic and are a class of molecular glue that induces degradation of several neo-substrates. In this review, we summarize the development of molecular glues and share our opinions on the identification of novel molecular glues in an attempt to promote the concept and inspire further investigations.

Journal: Structural complementarity facilitates E7820-mediated degradation of RBM39 by DCAF15. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 22, 2020 We show that DCAF15 adopts a new fold stabilized by DDA1, and that extensive protein-protein contacts between the ligase and substrate mitigate low affinity interactions between aryl-sulfonamides and DCAF15. Our data demonstrate how aryl-sulfonamides neo-functionalize a shallow, non-conserved pocket on DCAF15 to selectively bind and degrade RBM39 and the closely related splicing factor RBM23 without the requirement for a high-affinity ligand, which has broad implications for the de novo discovery of molecular glue degraders.

Biomarker, Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker: Integrins as A New Target for Cancer Treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 2, 2020 Despite the great progress in the development of targeted therapies for different types of cancer utilizing monoclonal antibodies (e.g., cetuximab for colorectal cancer and head and neck cancer therapy), kinase inhibitors (e.g., sorafenib for kidney cancer and gastrointestinal stromal tumours therapy), and immunomodulatory treatments (e.g., nivolumab and pembrolizumab for melanoma therapy and lung cancer therapy), there is still a need to search for new, more effective treatments...There are different groups of anti-integrin drugs: monoclonal antibodies (e.g., abituzumab) and other such as cilengitide, E7820 and MK-0429...Studies have shown that patient selection using biomarkers might improve the efficacy of anti-integrin cancer treatment. Many preclinical models have demonstrated promising results using integrin visualization for cancer detection and treatment efficacy monitoring; however, these strategies require further evaluation in humans.
