GSE138560 Expression profiling of CLL derived T Cells treated with pevonedistat

Contributors : Alexey V Danilov ; Nur BrussSeries Type : Expression profiling by arrayOrganism : Homo sapiensNovel targeted agents used in therapy of lymphoid malignancies, such as inhibitors of B-cell receptor-associated kinases, are recognized to have complex immune-mediated effects. NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) has been identified as a tractable target in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We and others have shown that pevonedistat (TAK-924), a small molecule inhibitor of NAE, abrogates NF- κB signaling in malignant B cells. However, NF-κB pathway activity is indispensable in immune response, and T-cell function is altered in patients with CLL. Using T cells derived from patients with CLL, we demonstrate that while targeting NAE results in markedly differential expression of NF-κB-r egulated genes and downregulation of IL-2 signaling during T-cell activation, T cells evade apoptosis. Meanwhile, NAE inhibition favorably modulates polarization of T cells in vitro, with decreased Treg differentiation and a shift towards TH1 phenotype, accompanied by increased interferon-γ product ion. These findings were recapitulated in vivo in immunocompetent mouse models. T cells exposed to pevonedistat in washout experiments, informed by its human pharmacokinetic profile, recover NAE activity and maintain their response to T-cell receptor stimulation and cytotoxic potential. Our data she d light on the potential immune implications of targeting neddylation ...
