New Insights into Development of Transglutaminase 2 Inhibitors as Pharmaceutical Lead Compounds
Med Sci (Basel) 2018 Oct 8;6(4):87.PMID:30297644DOI:10.3390/medsci6040087.
Transglutaminase 2 (EC 2.3.2.13; TG2 or TGase 2) plays important roles in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cancers, neurodegeneration, and inflammatory disorders. Under normal conditions, however, mice lacking TGase 2 exhibit no obvious abnormal phenotype. TGase 2 expression is induced by chemical, physical, and viral stresses through tissue-protective signaling pathways. After stress dissipates, expression is normalized by feedback mechanisms. Dysregulation of TGase 2 expression under pathologic conditions, however, can potentiate pathogenesis and aggravate disease severity. Consistent with this, TGase 2 knockout mice exhibit reversal of disease phenotypes in neurodegenerative and chronic inflammatory disease models. Accordingly, TGase 2 is considered to be a potential therapeutic target. Based on structure⁻activity relationship assays performed over the past few decades, TGase 2 inhibitors have been developed that target the enzyme's active site, but clinically applicable inhibitors are not yet available. The recently described the small molecule GK921, which lacks a group that can react with the active site of TGase 2, and efficiently inhibits the enzyme's activity. Mechanistic studies revealed that GK921 binds at an allosteric binding site in the N-terminus of TGase 2 (amino acids (a.a.) 81⁻116), triggering a conformational change that inactivates the enzyme. Because the binding site of GK921 overlaps with the p53-binding site of TGase 2, the drug induces apoptosis in renal cell carcinoma by stabilizing p53. In this review, we discuss the possibility of developing TGase 2 inhibitors that target the allosteric binding site of TGase 2.
Allosteric inhibition site of transglutaminase 2 is unveiled in the N terminus
Amino Acids 2018 Nov;50(11):1583-1594.PMID:30105541DOI:10.1007/s00726-018-2635-2.
Previously we have demonstrated transglutaminase 2 (TGase 2) inhibition abrogated renal cell carcinoma (RCC) using GK921 (3-(phenylethynyl)-2-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethoxy)pyrido[3,2-b]pyrazine), although the mechanism of TGase 2 inhibition remains unsolved. Recently, we found that the increase of TGase 2 expression is required for p53 depletion in RCC by transporting the TGase 2 (1-139 a.a)-p53 complex to the autophagosome, through TGase 2 (472-687 a.a) binding p62. In this study, mass analysis revealed that GK921 bound to the N terminus of TGase 2 (81-116 a.a), which stabilized p53 by blocking TGase 2 binding. This suggests that RCC survival can be stopped by p53-induced cell death through blocking the p53-TGase 2 complex formation using GK921. Although GK921 does not bind to the active site of TGase 2, GK921 binding to the N terminus of TGase 2 also inactivated TGase 2 activity through acceleration of non-covalent self-polymerization of TGase 2 via conformational change. This suggests that TGase 2 has an allosteric binding site (81-116 a.a) which changes the conformation of TGase 2 enough to accelerate inactivation through self-polymer formation.
Transglutaminase 2 inhibitor abrogates renal cell carcinoma in xenograft models
J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2014 May;140(5):757-67.PMID:24610445DOI:10.1007/s00432-014-1623-5.
Purpose: To test whether transglutaminase 2 (TGase 2) inhibitor GK921 alone reverses renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumor growth. RCC is resistant to both radiation and chemotherapy, and the prognosis remains poor. Despite the recent therapeutic success of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibition in RCC, approximately one-third of RCC patients develop metastatic disease. The expression of TGase 2 is markedly increased in most RCC cell lines, as well as in clinical samples. Methods: Previously, we introduced the quinoxaline derivative GK13 as a lead compound for TGase 2 inhibitor. The inhibitory effect of GK13 on TGase 2 was improved in GK921 (3-(phenylethynyl)-2-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethoxy)pyrido[3,2-b]pyrazine). GK921 efficacy was tested using sulforhodamine in vitro as well as a xenograft tumor models using ACHN and CAKI-1 RCC cells. Results: GK921 showed cytotoxicity to RCC (average GI50 in eight RCC cell lines: 0.905 μM). A single treatment with GK921 almost completely reduced tumor growth by stabilizing p53 in the ACHN and CAKI-1 preclinical xenograft tumor models. Conclusion: TGase 2 inhibitor GK921 abrogates RCC growth in xenograft tumor models, suggesting the possibility of a new therapeutic approach to RCC.
Blocking TG2 attenuates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice through inhibiting EMT
Respir Physiol Neurobiol 2020 May;276:103402.PMID:32006666DOI:10.1016/j.resp.2020.103402.
Background: Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) is a central mechanism for the occurrence and development of pulmonary fibrosis. Therefore, to identify the key target molecules regulating the EMT process is considered as an important direction for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) has been recently found to play an important role in the regulation of inflammation and the generation of extracellular matrix. Here, our study focuses on the roles of TG2 in pulmonary fibrosis and EMT. Methods: at first, the expression of TG2 and the EMT-related markers like E-cadherin, Vimentin, and α-SMA were detected with Western Blotting, immunohistochemistry and other methods in the mice with pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin. Further, MLE 12 cells were used to study the effects on EMT of the inhibition of TG2 in vitro. Finally, GK921, an inhibitor against TG2, was used to show its function in both prevention and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin in mice. Results: bleomycin succeeded to induce pulmonary fibrosis in mice, with increased TG2 expression, EMT and Akt activation. Knock-down of TG2 by siRNA technique in MLE 12 cell (a mouse alveolar epithelial cell line) and GK921 (an inhibitor of TG2) all inhibited the EMT process, however SC79, an activator of Akt rescued above inhibition. Finally, GK921 alleviated pulmonary fibrosis in mice induced by bleomycin. Conclusion: Blocking TG2 reduces bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice via inhibiting EMT.
Transglutaminase 2 Promotes Autophagy by LC3 Induction through p53 Depletion in Cancer Cell
Biomol Ther (Seoul) 2019 Jan 1;27(1):34-40.PMID:30231606DOI:10.4062/biomolther.2018.140.
Transglutaminase 2 (TGase 2) plays a key role in p53 regulation, depleting p53 tumor suppressor through autophagy in renal cell carcinoma. We found that microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3), a hallmark of autophagy, were tightly associated with the level of TGase 2 in cancer cells. TGase 2 overexpression increased LC3 levels, and TGase 2 knockdown decreased LC3 levels in cancer cells. Transcript abundance of LC3 was inversely correlated with level of wild type p53. TGase 2 knockdown using siRNA, or TGase 2 inhibition using GK921 significantly reduced autophagy through reduction of LC3 transcription, which was followed by restoration of p53 levels in cancer cells. TGase 2 overexpression promoted the autophagy process by LC3 induction, which was correlated with p53 depletion in cancer cells. Rapamycin-resistant cancer cells also showed higher expression of LC3 compared to the rapamycin-sensitive cancer cells, which was tightly correlated with TGase 2 levels. TGase 2 knockdown or TGase 2 inhibition sensitized rapamycin-resistant cancer cells to drug treatment. In summary, TGase 2 induces drug resistance by potentiating autophagy through LC3 induction via p53 regulation in cancer.
