THERAPEUTIC TARGETING OF SET1B/COMPASS PATHWAY FOR TREATING CANCERS
20180009870 · 2018-01-11 · ·

Disclosed are methods for treating Set1/COMPASS-associated cancers characterized by expression of Set1B/COMPASS. The methods typically include administering a therapeutic amount of an inhibitor of the Set1B/COMPASS pathway and/or an agonist for a target that is negatively regulated by the Set1B/COMPASS pathway.

COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR THE TARGETED DEGRADATION OF ENHANCER OF ZESTE HOMOLOG 2 POLYPEPTIDE

The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (target protein). In particular, the present disclosure is directed to bifunctional compounds, which contain on one end a Von Hippel-Lindau, cereblon, Inhibitors of Apotosis Proteins or mouse double-minute homolog 2 ligand which binds to the respective E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds the target protein, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target protein. The present disclosure exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aggregation or accumulation of the target protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.

METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS TO INCREASE SOMATIC CELL NUCLEAR TRANSFER (SCNT) EFFICIENCY BY REMOVING HISTONE H3-LYSINE TRIMETHYLATION

The present invention provides methods and compostions to improve the efficiency of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) and the consequent production of nuclear transfer ESC (ntESC) and transgenic cells and/or non-human animals. More specifically, the present invention relates to the discovery that trimethylation of Histone H3-Lysine 9 (H3K9me3) in reprogramming resistant regions (RRRs) in the nuclear genetic material of donor somatic cells prevents efficient somatic cell nuclear reprogramming or SCNT. The present invention provide methods and compositions to decrease H3K9me3 in methods to improve efficacy of SCNT by exogenous or overexpression of the demethylase Kdm4 family and/or inhibiting methylation of H3K9me3 by inhibiting the histone methyltransferases Suv39h1 and/or Suv39h2.

INHIBITION OF KMT2D FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER

The presently disclosed subject matter relates to the administration of a KMT2D inhibitor for the treatment of a cancer. The present invention is based on the discovery that upon PI3K inhibition, KMT2D activity is upregulated, resulting in an increase in the expression of genes involved in breast cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth. Accordingly, the present invention provides methods for treating a subject that has cancer by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an KMT2D inhibitor.
