FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to inhibitors of histone deacetylase 11 (HDAC11) useful in the treatment of certain diseases and/or disorders, including diseases and disorders associated with cell proliferation (e.g., cancers) and/or diseases and disorders associated with increased expression of genes associated with stem cell activity. The present disclosure provides, at least in part, methods and compositions for treating or preventing diseases and/or disorders that include a HDAC11 inhibitor.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONDiseases associated with cell proliferation, such as cancer, remain a serious public health problem. For example, about 595,690 people in the United States of America are expected to die of cancer in 2016 alone according to the American Cancer Society, Cancer Facts & Figures 2016 (www.cancer.org/acs/groups/content/@research/documents/document/acspc-047079.pdf). While many targets have been identified as associated with certain cancers, it has been challenging to develop selective therapies. Accordingly, there remains a need for effective, safe and selective methods of treating diseases and/or disorders associated with cell proliferation.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present disclosure provides compounds and methods for treatment or prevention of diseases and/or disorders associated with cell proliferation and/or associated with amplification of genes associated with stem cell activity.

The Drawing included herein, which is composed of the following Figures, is for illustration purposes only and not for limitation.
HDAC11 interacts with or regulates RNA splicing-related proteins (e.g., SMN1, Dicer1, Gemin3, and Gemin4), cell cycle-related proteins (e.g., Cdt1, BubR1, and Cdc25), and immune cell signaling proteins (e.g., IL-10 and OX40 ligand). Accordingly, inhibition of HDAC11 can have downstream effects that can play a role in the development of certain diseases such as cell proliferative diseases. The present disclosure provides methods for using inhibitors of HDAC11 to treat cell proliferative diseases and disorders including MPNs, hematological malignancies, and solid tumor malignancies. The present disclosure also provides methods for using inhibitors of HDAC11 to treat cell proliferation diseases or disorders having cancer cells that exhibit cancer stem cell properties and/or are associated with amplification of genes associated with cancer stem cell activity (e.g., SOX2 and STAT3).
The present invention is based in part on the discovery that HDAC11 inhibitors prevent growth and survival of JAK2 and myeloproliferative leukemia gene (MPL) mutant cell lines and patient-derived samples. Furthermore, as discussed in detail herein, knockout of HDAC11 reduces thrombocytosis and erythrocytosis in a MPN model using MPL mutant bone marrow transplant mice. The present invention is also based in part on the discovery that HDAC11 inhibitors prevent the growth of stem cell-like cancer cells and also decrease the expression of certain stem cell transcription factors such as SOX2 and STAT3.

The terms “complementary” and “complementarity” refer to polynucleotides (i.e., a sequence of nucleotides) related by the base-pairing rules. For example, the sequence “A-G-T,” is complementary to the sequence “T-C-A.” Complementarity may be “partial,” in which only some of the nucleic acids' bases are matched according to the base pairing rules. Or, there may be “complete” or “total” complementarity between the nucleic acids. The degree of complementarity between nucleic acid strands has significant effects on the efficiency and strength of hybridization between nucleic acid strands. While perfect complementarity is often desired, some embodiments can include one or more (e.g., 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1) mismatches with respect to the target RNA. Variations at any location within the oligomer are included. In certain embodiments, variations in sequence near the termini of an oligomer are generally preferable to variations in the interior, and if present, are may be within about 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 nucleotides of the 5′ and/or 3′ terminus.
By “isolated” is meant a substance and/or entity that has been (1) separated from at least some of the components with which it was associated when initially produced (whether in nature and/or in an experimental setting), and/or (2) designed, produced, prepared, and/or manufactured by the hand of man. Isolated substances and/or entities may be separated from about 10%, about 20%, about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, or more than about 99% of the other components with which they were initially associated. In some embodiments, an isolated substance or entity is “pure”. As used herein, a substance or entity is “pure” if it is substantially or essentially free from components that normally accompany it in its native state. In some embodiments, a substance and/or entity is about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, or more than about 99% pure. For example, an “isolated polynucleotide” or “isolated oligonucleotide,” as used herein, may refer to a polynucleotide that has been purified or removed from the sequences that flank it in a naturally-occurring state, e.g., a DNA fragment that has been removed from the sequences that are normally adjacent to the fragment. In another example, an “isolated polypeptide” or “isolated antibody,” as used herein, may refer to a polypeptide (e.g., an antibody) that has been purified or removed from one or more components of its naturally-occurring environment.
The term “reduce” or “inhibit” may relate generally to the ability of one or more inhibitors of the invention to “decrease” a relevant biological activity or cellular response, such as catalytic activity or a symptom of a disease or condition described herein, as measured according to routine techniques in the diagnostic art. Relevant physiological or cellular responses (in vivo or in vitro) will be apparent to persons skilled in the art, and may include reductions in the symptoms or pathology of MPNs. A “decrease” in a biological activity may be “statistically significant” as compared to the biological activity produced by no inhibitor or a control composition, and may include a 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% decrease, including all integers in between.
“Homology” refers to the percentage number of amino acids that are identical or constitute conservative substitutions. Homology may be determined using sequence comparison programs such as GAP (Deveraux et al., 1984, Nucleic Acids Research 12, 387-395). In this way sequences of a similar or substantially different length to those cited herein could be compared by insertion of gaps into the alignment, such gaps being determined, for example, by the comparison algorithm used by GAP.
The recitations “sequence identity” or, for example, comprising a “sequence 50% identical to,” as used herein, refer to the extent that sequences are identical on a nucleotide-by-nucleotide basis or an amino acid-by-amino acid basis over a window of comparison. Thus, a “percentage of sequence identity” may be calculated by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over the window of comparison, determining the number of positions at which the identical nucleic acid base (e.g., A, T, C, G, I) or the identical amino acid residue (e.g., Ala, Pro, Ser, Thr, Gly, Val, Leu, Ile, Phe, Tyr, Trp, Lys, Arg, His, Asp, Glu, Asn, Gln, Cys and Met) occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the window of comparison (i.e., the window size), and multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity.
Terms used to describe sequence relationships between two or more polynucleotides or polypeptides include “reference sequence,” “comparison window,” “sequence identity,” “percentage of sequence identity,” and “substantial identity”. A “reference sequence” is at least 8 or 10 but frequently 15 to 18 and often at least 25 monomer units, inclusive of nucleotides and amino acid residues, in length. Because two polynucleotides may each comprise (1) a sequence (i.e., only a portion of the complete polynucleotide sequence) that is similar between the two polynucleotides, and (2) a sequence that is divergent between the two polynucleotides, sequence comparisons between two (or more) polynucleotides are typically performed by comparing sequences of the two polynucleotides over a “comparison window” to identify and compare local regions of sequence similarity. A “comparison window” refers to a conceptual segment of at least 6 contiguous positions, usually about 50 to about 100, more usually about 100 to about 150 in which a sequence is compared to a reference sequence of the same number of contiguous positions after the two sequences are optimally aligned. The comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) of about 20% or less as compared to the reference sequence (which does not comprise additions or deletions) for optimal alignment of the two sequences. Optimal alignment of sequences for aligning a comparison window may be conducted by computerized implementations of algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package Release 7.0, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Drive Madison, Wis., USA) or by inspection and the best alignment (i.e., resulting in the highest percentage homology over the comparison window) generated by any of the various methods selected. Reference also may be made to the BLAST family of programs as for example disclosed by Altschul et al., 1997, Nucl. Acids Res. 25:3389. A detailed discussion of sequence analysis can be found in Unit 19.3 of Ausubel et al., “Current Protocols in Molecular Biology,” John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1994-1998, Chapter 15.
“dsRNA” refers to a ribonucleic acid molecule having a duplex structure comprising two complementary and anti-parallel nucleic acid strands (i.e., the sense and antisense strands). Not all nucleotides of a dsRNA must exhibit Watson-Crick base pairs; the two RNA strands may be substantially complementary. The RNA strands may have the same or a different number of nucleotides. The term “dsRNA” also includes “siRNA” or short interfering RNA.
By “vector” or “nucleic acid construct” is meant a polynucleotide molecule, preferably a DNA molecule derived, for example, from a plasmid, bacteriophage, yeast or virus, into which a polynucleotide can be inserted or cloned. A vector preferably contains one or more unique restriction sites and can be capable of autonomous replication in a defined host cell including a target cell or tissue or a progenitor cell or tissue thereof, or be integrable with the genome of the defined host such that the cloned sequence is reproducible. Accordingly, the vector can be an autonomously replicating vector, i.e., a vector that exists as an extra-chromosomal entity, the replication of which is independent of chromosomal replication, e.g., a linear or closed circular plasmid, an extra-chromosomal element, a mini-chromosome, or an artificial chromosome. The vector can contain any means for assuring self-replication. Alternatively, the vector can be one which, when introduced into the host cell, is integrated into the genome and replicated together with the chromosome(s) into which it has been integrated.
A wild-type gene or gene product is that which is most frequently observed in a population and is thus arbitrarily designed the “normal” or “wild-type” form of the gene.

One or both of the rings in a spirocycloalkenyl can further be fused to another carbocyclic, heterocyclic, aromatic, or heteroaromatic ring.
The term “spirocyclic heterocycle,” “spiroheterocyclyl,” or “spiroheterocycle” is understood to mean a spirocycle wherein at least one of the rings is a heterocycle (e.g., at least one of the rings is furanyl, morpholinyl, or piperadinyl). A spirocyclic heterocycle can contain between 5 and 12 atoms, at least one of which is a heteroatom selected from N, O, S and P.

Histone Deacetylases and HDAC11Histone deacetylases (HDAC, EC number 3.5.1) are a group of hydrolases removing the acetyl group from an ε-N-acetyl lysine amino acid of a histone or other substrate protein. Depending on sequence identity and domain organization, HDACs have been classified into class I (including HDAC1-3 and 8), class Ila (HDAC4, 5, 7, 9), class lib (HDAC6 and 10), class III (including sirtuins) and class IV (HDAC11) (Dokmanovic et al, 2007, Mol Cancer Res October 5; 981-989).
HDAC11 is a class IV histone deacetylase (HDAC). HDAC11 is highly expressed in brain, heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and testis and primarily localized in the nucleus (Gao et al, J Biol Chem. 2002, Jul. 12; 277(28):25748-55). Without wishing to be bound by theory, histone deacetylation may provide a tag for epigenetic repression and play an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Additionally, HDAC substrates are not restricted to histones, and HDACs have been shown to function in numerous cell regulatory pathways. For example, HDAC11 has been reported to deacetylate or associate with cell cycle-related proteins including Cdt1, Geminin (Wong et al, Cell Cycle. 2010, November 1; 9(21):4351-63), BubR1 (Watanabe et al, Cell Rep. 2014, Apr. 24; 7(2):552-64), and Cdc25 (Lozada et al, Oncotarget. 2016, Mar. 7). HDAC11 was also reported to function in RNA splicing as part of the survival of motor neuron (SMN) complex in association with SMN1, Dicer1, Gemin3, and Gemin4 (Joshi et al, Mol Syst Biol. 2013, 9:672). HDAC11 has also been reported to function in regulating dendrite growth (Watanabe et al, Cell Rep. 2014, Apr. 24; 7(2):552-64).
HDAC11 may play a role in certain cancers (Deubzer et al, Int J Cancer. 2013, May 1; 132(9):2200-8; WO 2005/071079; WO 2007/038073), such as, for example, Hodgkin lymphoma (Buglio et al, Blood. 2011, Mar. 10; 117(10):2910-7).
Alternative splicing of HDAC11 results in multiple transcript variants. In some embodiments, an inhibitor of HDAC11 may selectively inhibit one or more variants of HDAC11.
In some embodiments, an inhibitor of HDAC11 selectively inhibits activity of a HDAC11 that is or comprises a sequence of any one of SEQ ID NO: 13-15. In some embodiments, an inhibitor of HDAC11 selectively inhibits activity of a HDAC11 that is or comprises a sequence that is 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to any one of SEQ ID NO: 13-15.
In certain embodiments, methods of the present disclosure directed to modulating the activity of HDAC11 are practiced using an agent that inhibits HDAC11 expression and/or activity. For example, in certain embodiments, such a modulator specifically reduces or inhibits HDAC11's ability to associate with a protein complex. In other embodiments, an agent reduces expression of HDAC11. In some embodiments, agents that modulate (e.g. inhibit) HDAC11 are polynucleotides, polypeptides, peptides, peptide nucleic acids, antibodies and fragments thereof, small molecules, inorganic compounds and/or organic compounds. In some embodiments, agents that modulate (e.g. inhibit) HDAC11 include antagonists of HDAC11.
HDAC11 inhbitors include any molecule that reduces HDAC11 expression or activity. In certain embodiments, inhibitors interfere with HDAC11 activity by any of a variety of means including, e.g., inhibiting HDAC11 associating with a protein complex or inhibiting deacetylase activity.
Any HDAC11 inhibitors known in the art may be used in the methods described herein. Examples of HDAC11 inhibitors include, but are not limited to, HDTK010, HDTK028, HDTK029, HDTK054, HDTK070, commercially available shRNA (e.g., Sigma-Aldrich), commercially available siRNA (e.g., Sigma-Aldrich and Qiagen), commercially available Clustered regular interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR associated protein 9-single guide RNA (CRISPR-Cas9-sgRNA) (e.g., Origene) and commercially available anti-HDAC11 antibodies (e.g., Abcam and Sigma-Aldrich).
In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor is a small molecule. In some embodiments, a small molecule HDAC11 inhibitor is at least 10-fold, 20-fold, 30-fold, 40-fold, 50-fold, 60-fold, 70-fold, 80-fold, 90-fold, 100-fold, 200-fold, 300-fold, 400-fold, 500-fold, 1,000-fold, 2,000-fold, 3,000-fold, or more selective for inhibition of HDAC11 over one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or more other histone deacetylase isoforms (e.g., HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, HDAC8, HDAC9 and/or HDAC10). In certain embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor is at least 10-fold selective for HDAC11 over other histone deacetylase isoforms. In certain embodiments, the HDAC11 inhibitor is a small molecule that is at least 200-fold selective for HDAC11 over other histone deacetylase isoforms. In some embodiments, a small molecule HDAC11 inhibitor is at least 10-fold, 20-fold, 30-fold, 40-fold, 50-fold, 60-fold, 70-fold, 80-fold, 90-fold, 100-fold, 200-fold, 300-fold, 400-fold, 500-fold, 1,000-fold, 2,000-fold, 3,000-fold, or more selective for inhibition of HDAC11 each of HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, HDAC8, HDAC9 and HDAC10.
Peptides and PolypeptidesIn some embodiments, methods of the disclosure are practiced using peptide or polypeptide inhibitors of HDAC11. In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor is a peptide or polypeptide inhibitor of HDAC11.
In some embodiments, activity of HDAC11 is altered by over expression of a dominant negative inhibitor of HDAC11. Dominant negative inhibitors of HDAC11 are typically mutant forms of HDAC11, which reduce or block the activity of wild type HDAC11, e.g., by competing for associating with a protein complex or promoter but failing to deacetylate a target protein. Examples of various HDAC11 dominant negative inhibitors include a mutant HDAC11 having reduced ability to associate with a protein complex and a mutant HDAC11 that associates with the protein complex but fails to deacetylate a target protein. For example, one dominant negative is a HDAC11 having one or more amino acid substitutions in the catalytic domain, such that the mutant HDAC11 associates with the relevant protein complex but exhibits reduced deacetylation activity.
PolynucleotidesVarious polynucleotides are contemplated for use as modulators of HDAC11 expression and/or activity. In certain embodiments, polynucleotide inhibitors of HDAC11 are antisense RNA, or RNA interference (RNAi) reagents designed to specifically target HDAC11, according to methods known and available in the art. Other polynucleotide inhibitors include, e.g., targeting vectors designed for integration into the genome and suitable for deleting all or a portion of a HDAC11 allele or mutating a HDAC11 allele, e.g., through insertional mutagenesis.
AntisenseIn some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor is an antisense RNA directed to HDAC11 polynucleotides, or other components of the HDAC11 signaling cascade. Antisense oligonucleotides have been demonstrated to be effective and targeted inhibitors of protein synthesis, and, consequently, can be used to specifically inhibit protein synthesis by a targeted gene. The efficacy of antisense oligonucleotides for inhibiting protein synthesis is well established. For example, antisense constructs have been described that inhibit and can be used to treat a variety of abnormal cellular proliferations, e.g. cancer (U.S. Pat. No. 5,747,470; U.S. Pat. No. 5,591,317 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,783,683).
The term “target sequence” refers to a portion of the target DNA or RNA against which the oligonucleotide or antisense agent is directed, that is, the sequence to which the oligonucleotide will hybridize by Watson-Crick base pairing of a complementary sequence.
The term “targeting sequence” or “antisense targeting sequence” refers to the sequence in an oligonucleotide or other antisense agent that is complementary (meaning, in addition, substantially complementary) to the target sequence. The entire sequence, or only a portion, of the antisense compound may be complementary to the target sequence. For example, in an oligonucleotide having 20-30 bases, about 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, or 29 may be targeting sequences that are complementary to the target region. Typically, the targeting sequence is formed of contiguous bases, but may alternatively be formed of non-contiguous sequences that when placed together, e.g., from opposite ends of the oligonucleotide, constitute sequence that spans the target sequence.
Target and targeting sequences are described as “complementary” to one another when hybridization occurs in an antiparallel configuration. A targeting sequence may have “near” or “substantial” complementarity to the target sequence and still function for the purpose of the present invention, that is, it may still be functionally “complementary.” In certain embodiments, an oligonucleotide may have at most one mismatch with the target sequence out of 10 nucleotides, and preferably at most one mismatch out of 20. Alternatively, an oligonucleotide may have at least 90% sequence homology, and preferably at least 95% sequence homology, with the target sequence.
An oligonucleotide “specifically hybridizes” to a target polynucleotide if the oligomer hybridizes to the target under physiological conditions, with a Tm substantially greater than 45° C., preferably at least 50° C., and typically 60° C.-80° C. or higher. Such hybridization preferably corresponds to stringent hybridization conditions. At a given ionic strength and pH, the Tm is the temperature at which 50% of a target sequence hybridizes to a complementary polynucleotide. Again, such hybridization may occur with “near” or “substantial” complementarity of the antisense oligomer to the target sequence, as well as with exact complementarity.
Therefore, in certain embodiments, oligonucleotide sequences that comprise all, or a portion of, any sequence that is capable of specifically binding to a HDAC11 target polynucleotide sequence, or a complement thereof may be used in the methods described herein. In another embodiment, an oligonucleotide sequence comprises all, or a portion of, any sequence that is capable of specifically binding to a HDAC11 polynucleotide sequence, or a complement thereof. In some embodiments, an antisense oligonucleotides comprise DNA or derivatives thereof. In another embodiment, an oligonucleotides comprise RNA or derivatives thereof. Antisense oligonucleotides may be modified DNAs comprising a phosphorothioated modified backbone. Also, oligonucleotide sequences may comprise peptide nucleic acids or derivatives thereof. In each case, as appropriate, compositions can comprise a sequence region that is complementary to one or more portions of a HDAC11 target gene or polynucleotide sequence. In some embodiments, compositions can comprise a sequence region that is completely complementary one or more portions of a HDAC11 target gene or polynucleotide sequence.
Methods of producing antisense molecules are known in the art and can be readily adapted to produce an antisense molecule that targets HDAC11. Selection of antisense compositions specific for a given sequence is based upon analysis of the chosen target sequence and determination of secondary structure, Tm, binding energy, and relative stability. Antisense compositions may be selected based upon their relative inability to form dimers, hairpins, or other secondary structures that would reduce or prohibit specific binding to the target mRNA in a host cell. Highly preferred target regions of the mRNA include those regions at or near the AUG translation initiation codon and those sequences that are substantially complementary to 5′ regions of the mRNA. These secondary structure analyses and target site selection considerations can be performed, for example, using v.4 of the OLIGO primer analysis software and/or the BLASTN 2.0.5 algorithm software (Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 1997, 25(17):3389-402).
RNAi MoleculesRNA interference methods using RNAi molecules also may be used to disrupt the expression of a gene or polynucleotide of interest, including a HDAC11 gene. RNAi is an evolutionarily conserved gene-silencing mechanism, originally discovered in studies of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (Lee et al., Cell 75:843, 1993; Reinhart et al., Nature 403:901, 2000). It may be triggered by introducing dsRNA into cells expressing the appropriate molecular machinery, which then degrades the corresponding endogenous mRNA. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the RNAi mechanism involves conversion of dsRNA into short RNAs that direct ribonucleases to homologous mRNA targets (summarized, for example, by Ruvkun, Science 2294:797, 2001).
In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor is a RNAi oligonucleotide. In some embodiments a RNAi oligonucleotide is single stranded. In some embodiments, a RNAi oligonucleotide is double stranded.
In certain embodiments, methods provided herein may utilize double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) molecules as modulating agents, for inhibiting HDAC11. dsRNAs generally comprise two single strands. In some embodiments, one strand of the dsRNA comprises a nucleotide sequence that is substantially identical to a portion of the target gene or target region (the “sense” strand), and the other strand (the “complementary” or “antisense” strand) comprises a sequence that is substantially complementary to a portion of the target region. The strands are sufficiently complementary to hybridize to form a duplex structure. In certain embodiments, the complementary RNA strand may be less than 30 nucleotides, less than 25 nucleotides in length, or even 19 to 24 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the complementary nucleotide sequence may be 20-23 nucleotides in length, or 22 nucleotides in length.
In certain embodiments, at least one of the RNA strands comprises a nucleotide overhang of 1 to 4 nucleotides in length. In other embodiments, the dsRNA may further comprise at least one chemically modified nucleotide. In certain embodiments, a dsRNA comprising a single-stranded overhang of 1 to 4 nucleotides may comprise a molecule wherein the unpaired nucleotide of the single-stranded overhang that is directly adjacent to the terminal nucleotide pair contains a purine base. In some embodiments, the last complementary nucleotide pairs on both ends of a dsRNA are a G-C pair, or, at least two of the last four terminal nucleotide pairs are G-C pairs.
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure may comprise micro RNAs (miRNAs). In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor is a miRNA. miRNAs represent a large group of small RNAs produced naturally in organisms, some of which regulate the expression of target genes. miRNAs are formed from an approximately 70 nucleotide single-stranded hairpin precursor transcript by Dicer. (V. Ambros et al. Current Biology 13:807, 2003). miRNAs are not translated into proteins, but instead bind to specific messenger RNAs, thereby blocking translation. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is thought that miRNAs base-pair imprecisely with their targets to inhibit translation. Certain miRNAs may be transcribed as hairpin RNA precursors, which are then processed to their mature forms by Dicer enzyme.
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure may employ short-interfering RNAs (siRNA). In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor is a siRNA. In certain embodiments, the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide contains two more nucleoside residues than the second strand. In other embodiments, the first strand and the second strand have the same number of nucleosides; however, the first and second strands are offset such that the two terminal nucleosides on the first and second strands are not paired with a residue on the complimentary strand. In certain instances, the two nucleosides that are not paired are thymidine resides.
In instances where HDAC11 inhibiting agent is or comprises siRNA, the agent should include a region of sufficient homology to the target region, and be of sufficient length in terms of nucleotides, such that the siRNA agent, or a fragment thereof, can mediate down regulation of the target RNA. It will be understood that the term “ribonucleotide” or “nucleotide” can, in the case of a modified RNA or nucleotide surrogate, also refer to a modified nucleotide, or surrogate replacement moiety at one or more positions. Thus, a siRNA agent is or includes a region which is at least partially complementary to the target RNA. It is not necessary that there be perfect complementarity between the siRNA agent and the target, but the correspondence must be sufficient to enable the siRNA agent, or a cleavage product thereof, to direct sequence specific silencing, such as by RNAi cleavage of the target RNA. Complementarity, or degree of homology with the target strand, is most critical in the antisense strand. While perfect complementarity, particularly in the antisense strand, is often desired some embodiments include one or more mismatches with respect to the target RNA, typically 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or fewer mismatches. In some embodiments, matches are most tolerated in the terminal regions, and if present are preferably in a terminal region or regions, e.g., within 6, 5, 4, or 3 nucleotides of the 5′ and/or 3′ terminus. The sense strand need only be sufficiently complementary with the antisense strand to maintain the overall double-strand character of the molecule.
In addition, a siRNA modulating agent may be modified or include nucleoside surrogates. Single stranded regions of a siRNA agent may be modified or include nucleoside surrogates, e.g., the unpaired region or regions of a hairpin structure, e.g., a region which links two complementary regions, can have modifications or nucleoside surrogates. Modification to stabilize one or more 3′- or 5′-terminus of a siRNA agent, e.g., against exonucleases, or to favor the antisense siRNA agent to enter into RISC are also useful. Modifications can include C3 (or C6, C7, C12) amino linkers, thiol linkers, carboxyl linkers, non-nucleotidic spacers (C3, C6, C9, C12, abasic, triethylene glycol, hexaethylene glycol), special biotin or fluorescein reagents that come as phosphoramidites and that have another DMT-protected hydroxyl group, allowing multiple couplings during RNA synthesis.
siRNA agents may include, for example, molecules that are long enough to trigger the interferon response (which can be cleaved by Dicer (Bernstein et al., Nature, 409:363-366, 2001) and enter a RISC(RNAi-induced silencing complex)), in addition to molecules which are sufficiently short that they do not trigger the interferon response (which molecules can also be cleaved by Dicer and/or enter a RISC), e.g., molecules which are of a size which allows entry into a RISC, e.g., molecules which resemble Dicer-cleavage products. Molecules that are short enough that they do not trigger an interferon response are termed siRNA agents or shorter RNAi agents herein. “siRNA agent or shorter RNAi agent” as used refers to an siRNA agent that is sufficiently short that it does not induce a deleterious interferon response in a human cell, e.g., it has a duplexed region of less than 60 but preferably less than 50, 40, or 30 nucleotide pairs. An siRNA modulating agent, or a cleavage product thereof, can down regulate a target gene, e.g., by inducing RNAi with respect to a target RNA, such as HDAC11 mRNA.
Each strand of an siRNA modulating agent can be equal to or less than 35, 30, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, or 20 nucleotides in length. The strand is preferably at least 19 nucleotides in length. For example, each strand can be between 21 and 25 nucleotides in length. Preferred siRNA agents have a duplex region of 17, 18, 19, 29, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 nucleotide pairs, and one or more overhangs, preferably one or two 3′ overhangs, of 2-3 nucleotides.
In addition to homology to target RNA and the ability to down regulate a target gene, an siRNA modulating agent may have one or more of the following properties: it may, despite modifications, even to a very large number, or all of the nucleosides, have an antisense strand that can present bases (or modified bases) in the proper three dimensional framework so as to be able to form correct base pairing and form a duplex structure with a homologous target RNA which is sufficient to allow down regulation of the target, e.g., by cleavage of the target RNA; it may, despite modifications, even to a very large number, or all of the nucleosides, still have “RNA-like” properties, i.e., it may possess the overall structural, chemical and physical properties of an RNA molecule, even though not exclusively, or even partly, of ribonucleotide-based content. For example, a siRNA agent can contain, e.g., a sense and/or an antisense strand in which all of the nucleotide sugars contain e.g., 2′ fluoro in place of 2′ hydroxyl. This deoxyribonucleotide-containing agent can still be expected to exhibit RNA-like properties. While not wishing to be bound by theory, the electronegative fluorine prefers an axial orientation when attached to the C2′ position of ribose. This spatial preference of fluorine can, in turn, force the sugars to adopt a C3′-endo pucker. This is the same puckering mode as observed in RNA molecules and gives rise to the RNA-characteristic A-family-type helix. Further, since fluorine is a good hydrogen bond acceptor, it can participate in the same hydrogen bonding interactions with water molecules that are known to stabilize RNA structures. Generally, it is preferred that a modified moiety at the 2′ sugar position will be able to enter into H-bonding which is more characteristic of the OH moiety of a ribonucleotide than the H moiety of a deoxyribonucleotide.
A “single strand RNAi agent” as used herein, is an RNAi agent which is made up of a single molecule. It may include a duplexed region, formed by intra-strand pairing, e.g., it may be, or include, a hairpin or pan-handle structure. Single strand RNAi modulating agents are preferably antisense with regard to the target molecule. A single strand RNAi agent should be sufficiently long that it can enter the RISC and participate in RISC mediated cleavage of a target mRNA. A single strand RNAi agent is at least 14, and more preferably at least 15, 20, 25, 29, 35, 40, or 50 nucleotides in length. It is preferably less than 200, 100, or 60 nucleotides in length.
Hairpin RNAi modulating agents, e.g., short hairpin RNA (shRNA), may have a duplex region equal to or at least 17, 18, 19, 29, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 nucleotide pairs. The duplex region may preferably be equal to or less than 200, 100, or 50, in length. Certain ranges for the duplex region are 15-30, 17 to 23, 19 to 23, and 19 to 21 nucleotides pairs in length. The hairpin may have a single strand overhang or terminal unpaired region, preferably the 3′, and preferably of the antisense side of the hairpin. In certain embodiments, overhangs are 2-3 nucleotides in length.
Certain modulating agents utilized according to the methods provided herein may comprise RNAi oligonucleotides such as chimeric oligonucleotides, or “chimeras,” which contain two or more chemically distinct regions, each made up of at least one monomer unit, i.e., a nucleotide in the case of an oligonucleotide compound. These oligonucleotides typically contain at least one region wherein the oligonucleotide is modified so as to confer upon the oligonucleotide increased resistance to nuclease degradation, increased cellular uptake, and/or increased binding affinity for the target nucleic acid. Consequently, comparable results can often be obtained with shorter oligonucleotides when chimeric oligonucleotides are used, compared to phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides. Chimeric oligonucleotides may be formed as composite structures of two or more oligonucleotides, modified oligonucleotides, oligonucleotides and/or oligonucleotide mimetics as described above. Such oligonucleotides have also been referred to in the art as hybrids or gapmers. Representative United States patents that teach the preparation of such hybrid structures include, but are not limited to, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,013,830, 5,149,797, 5,220,007, 5,256,775, 5,366,878, 5,403,711, 5,491,133, 5,565,350, 5,623,065, 5,652,355, 5,652,356, 5,700,922, and 5,955,589, each of which is herein incorporated by reference. In certain embodiments, the chimeric oligonucleotide is RNA-DNA, DNA-RNA, RNA-DNA-RNA, DNA-RNA-DNA, or RNA-DNA-RNA-DNA, wherein the oligonucleotide is between 5 and 60 nucleotides in length.
In some embodiments, HDAC11 modulating agents, such as RNAi agents, relate to an oligonucleotide comprising at least one ligand tethered to an altered or non-natural nucleobase. A large number of compounds can function as the altered base. The structure of the altered base is important to the extent that the altered base should not substantially prevent binding of the oligonucleotide to its target, e.g., mRNA. In certain embodiments, the altered base is difluorotolyl, nitropyrrolyl, nitroimidazolyl, nitroindolyl, napthalenyl, anthrancenyl, pyridinyl, quinolinyl, pyrenyl, or the divalent radical of any one of the non-natural nucleobases described herein. In certain embodiments, the non-natural nucleobase is difluorotolyl, nitropyrrolyl, or nitroimidazolyl. In certain embodiments, a non-natural nucleobase is difluorotolyl. A wide variety of ligands are known in the art and are amenable to the present invention. For example, a ligand can be a steroid, bile acid, lipid, folic acid, pyridoxal, B 12, riboflavin, biotin, aromatic compound, polycyclic compound, crown ether, intercalator, cleaver molecule, protein-binding agent, or carbohydrate. In certain embodiments, a ligand is a steroid or aromatic compound. In certain instances, the ligand is cholesteryl.
In other embodiments, a RNAi agent is an oligonucleotide tethered to a ligand for the purposes of improving cellular targeting and uptake. For example, a RNAi agent may be tethered to an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof. As an additional example, an RNAi agent may be tethered to a specific ligand binding molecule, such as a polypeptide or polypeptide fragment that specifically binds a particular cell-surface receptor.
In some embodiments, a HDAC11 modulating agent comprises a non-natural nucleobase. In certain embodiments, a non-natural nucleobase is difluorotolyl, nitroimidazolyl, nitroindolyl, or nitropyrrolyl. In certain embodiments, HDAC11 modulating agents provided herein relate to a double-stranded oligonucleotide sequence, wherein only one of the two strands contains a non-natural nucleobase. In certain embodiments, HDAC11 modulating agents as used herein relate to a double-stranded oligonucleotide sequence, wherein both of the strands independently comprise at least one non-natural nucleobase.
In certain instances, a ribose sugar moiety that naturally occurs in nucleosides is replaced with a hexose sugar. In some certain embodiments, a hexose sugar is an allose, altrose, glucose, mannose, gulose, idose, galactose, talose, or a derivative thereof. In some certain embodiments, a hexose is a D-hexose. In certain instances, a ribose sugar moiety that naturally occurs in nucleosides is replaced with a polycyclic heteroalkyl ring or cyclohexenyl group. In certain instances, a polycyclic heteroalkyl group is a bicyclic ring containing one oxygen atom in the ring. In certain instances, the polycyclic heteroalkyl group is a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane, or a bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane. In certain embodiments, the backbone of an oligonucleotide has been modified to improve the therapeutic or diagnostic properties of the oligonucleotide compound. In certain embodiments, at least one of the bases or at least one of the sugars of the oligonucleotide has been modified to improve the therapeutic or diagnostic properties of the oligonucleotide compound. In instances when the oligonucleotide is double stranded, the two strands may be complementary, partially complementary, or chimeric oligonucleotides.
Examples of modified RNAi agents envisioned for use in the methods of the present disclosure include oligonucleotides containing modified backbones or non-natural internucleoside linkages. As defined here, oligonucleotides having modified backbones or internucleoside linkages include those that retain a phosphorus atom in the backbone and those that do not have a phosphorus atom in the backbone. Modified oligonucleotides that do not have a phosphorus atom in their intersugar backbone can also be considered to be oligonucleotides. Specific oligonucleotide chemical modifications are described below. It is not necessary for all positions in a given compound to be uniformly modified, and in fact more than one of the following modifications may be incorporated in a single oligonucleotide compound or even in a single nucleotide thereof.
Examples of modified internucleoside linkages or backbones include, for example, phosphorothioates, chiral phosphorothioates, phosphorodithioates, phosphotriesters, aminoalkylphosphotriesters, methyl and other alkyl phosphonates including 3′-alkylene phosphonates and chiral phosphonates, phosphinates, phosphoramidates including 3′-amino phosphoramidate and aminoalkylphosphoramidates, thionophosphoramidates, thionoalkylphosphonates, thionoalklyphosphotriesters, and boranophosphates having normal 3′-5′ linkages, 2′-5′ linked analogs of these, and those having inverted polarity wherein the adjacent pairs of nucleoside units are linked 3′-5′ to 5′-3′ or 2′-5′ to 5′-2′. Various salts, mixed salts and free-acid forms are also included.
Representative United States patents that teach the preparation of the above phosphorus atom-containing linkages include, but are not limited to, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,687,808, 4,469,863, 4,476,301, 5,023,243, 5,177,196, 5,188,897, 5,264,423, 5,276,019, 5,278,302, 5,286,717, 5,321,131, 5,399,676, 5,405,939, 5,453,496, 5,455,233, 5,466,677, 5,476,925, 5,519,126, 5,536,821, 5,541,306, 5,550,111, 5,563,253, 5,571,799, 5,587,361, 5,625,050, and 5,697,248, each of which is herein incorporated by reference.
Examples of modified internucleoside linkages or backbones that do not include a phosphorus atom therein (i.e., oligonucleotides) have backbones that are formed by short chain alkyl or cycloalkyl intersugar linkages, mixed heteroatom and alkyl or cycloalkyl intersugar linkages, or one or more short chain heteroatomic or heterocyclic intersugar linkages. These include those having morpholino linkages (formed in part from the sugar portion of a nucleoside); siloxane backbones; sulfide, sulfoxide and sulfone backbones; formacetyl and thioformacetyl backbones; methylene formacetyl and thioformacetyl backbones; alkene containing backbones; sulfamate backbones; methyleneimino and methylenehydrazino backbones; sulfonate and sulfonamide backbones; amide backbones; and others having mixed N, O, S and CH2 component parts.
Representative United States patents that teach the preparation of the above oligonucleotides include, but are not limited to, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,034,506, 5,166,315, 5,185,444, 5,214,134, 5,216,141, 5,235,033, 5,264,562, 5,264,564, 5,405,938, 5,434,257, 5,466,677, 5,470,967, 5,489,677, 5,541,307, 5,561,225, 5,596,086, 5,602,240, 5,610,289, 5,602,240, 5,608,046, 5,610,289, 5,618,704, 5,623,070, 5,663,312, 5,633,360, 5,677,437, and 5,677,439, each of which is herein incorporated by reference.
In other examples of oligonucleotide mimetics, both the sugar and the internucleoside linkage, i.e., the backbone, of the nucleoside units may be replaced with novel groups. The nucleobase units are maintained for hybridization with an appropriate nucleic acid target compound. One such oligonucleotide, an oligonucleotide mimetic, that has been shown to have excellent hybridization properties, is referred to as a peptide nucleic acid (PNA). In PNA compounds, the sugar-backbone of an oligonucleotide is replaced with an amide-containing backbone, in particular an aminoethylglycine backbone. The nucleobases are retained and are bound directly or indirectly to atoms of the amide portion of the backbone. Representative United States patents that teach the preparation of PNA compounds include, but are not limited to, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,539,082, 5,714,331, and 5,719,262, each of which is herein incorporated by reference. Further teaching of PNA compounds can be found in Nielsen et al., Science, 1991, 254, 1497.
In certain instances, the RNAi agents for use with the methods provided herein may be modified by non-ligand group. A number of non-ligand molecules have been conjugated to oligonucleotides in order to enhance the activity, cellular distribution, cellular targeting, or cellular uptake of the oligonucleotide, and procedures for performing such conjugations are available in the scientific literature. Such non-ligand moieties have included lipid moieties, such as cholesterol (Letsinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 86:6553-56, 1989), cholic acid (Manoharan et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 4:1053, 1994), a thioether, e.g., hexyl-5-tritylthiol (Manoharan et al., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 660:306, 1992; Manoharan et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Let., 3:2765, 1993), a thiocholesterol (Oberhauser et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 20:533, 1992), an aliphatic chain, e.g., dodecandiol or undecyl residues (Saison-Behmoaras et al., EMBO J. 10:111, 1991; Kabanov et al., FEBS Lett. 259:327, 1990; Svinarchuk et al., Biochimie. 75:49, 1993), a phospholipid, e.g., di-hexadecyl-rac-glycerol or triethylammonium 1,2-di-O-hexadecyl-rac-glycero-3-H-phosphonate (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 36:3651, 1995; Shea et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 18:3777, 1990), a polyamine or a polyethylene glycol chain (Manoharan et al., Nucleosides & Nucleotides. 14:969, 1995), or adamantane acetic acid (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 36:3651, 1995), a palmityl moiety (Mishra et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1264:229, 1995), or an octadecylamine or hexylamino-carbonyl-oxycholesterol moiety (Crooke et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 277:923, 1996). Representative United States patents that teach the preparation of such oligonucleotide conjugates have been listed above. Typical conjugation protocols involve the synthesis of oligonucleotides bearing an aminolinker at one or more positions of the sequence. The amino group is then reacted with the molecule being conjugated using appropriate coupling or activating reagents. The conjugation reaction may be performed either with the oligonucleotide still bound to the solid support or following cleavage of the oligonucleotide in solution phase. Purification of the oligonucleotide conjugate by HPLC typically affords the pure conjugate.
Additional examples of modulating agents, such as RNAi oligonucleotides, may be found in U.S. Application Publication Nos. 2007/0275465, 2007/0054279, 2006/0287260, 2006/0035254, 2006/0008822, which are incorporated by reference.
CRISPRIn some embodiments, a gene editing system can be used to silence, enhance or mutate the HDAC11 gene. Any gene editing systems known in the art may be used in the methods of the present disclosure. In certain embodiments, a gene editing system is a CRISPR/Cas system. CRISPR/Cas systems have been modified for use in gene editing (silencing, enhancing or changing specific genes) in eukaryotes such as mice or primates. Wiedenheft et al., 2012. Nature 482: 331-8. This is accomplished by introducing into the eukaryotic cell a plasmid containing a specifically designed CRISPR and one or more appropriate Cas. The CRISPR sequence, sometimes called a CRISPR locus, comprises alternating repeats and spacers. In a naturally-occurring CRISPR, the spacers usually comprise sequences foreign to the bacterium such as a plasmid or phage sequence; in the HDAC11 CRISPR/Cas system, the spacers are derived from the HDAC11 gene sequence. RNA from the CRISPR locus is constitutively expressed and processed by Cas proteins into small RNAs. These comprise a spacer flanked by a repeat sequence. The RNAs guide other Cas proteins to silence exogenous genetic elements at the RNA or DNA leval. Horvath et al. 2010. Science 327: 167-170; Makarova et al. 2006 Biology Direct 1:7. The spacers thus serve as templates for RNA molecules, analogously to siRNAs. Pennisi 2013. Science 341: 833-836.
In certain embodiments, artificial CRISPR systems can be generated which inhibit HDAC11 using technology known in the art, e.g., that is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/842,859 (published as US 20140068797). Such HDAC11-inhibitory CRISPR system can include a guide RNA (gRNA) comprising a HDAC11-targeting domain, i.e, a nucleotide sequence that is complementary to a HDAC11 DNA strand, and a second domain that interacts with an RNA-directed nuclease.
Knockout ConstructsIn certain embodiments, the activity of HDAC11 is altered by mutating a gene encoding the HDAC11 molecule. A variety of methods of mutating an endogenous gene are known and available in the art, including, e.g., insertional mutagenesis and knockout methods. Accordingly, the disclosure provides methods of knocking out one or more alleles of a HDAC11 gene. It is understood that knockout vectors in accordance with the present disclosure include any vector capable of disrupting expression or activity of a HDAC11 gene, including, in certain embodiments, targeting vectors.
In preferred methods, targeting vectors are used to selectively disrupt a HDAC11 gene. Knockout vectors include those that alter gene expression, for example, by disrupting a regulatory element of a HDAC11 gene, including, e.g., inserting a regulatory element that reduces gene expression or deleting or otherwise reducing the activity of an endogenous element that positively affects transcription of the target gene. In other embodiments, knockout vectors can disrupt, e.g., delete or mutate, the 5′ region, 3′ region or coding region of a HDAC11 gene. In some embodiments, knockout vectors delete a region or the entirety of the coding region of a HDAC11 gene. In certain embodiments, knockout vectors delete a region of a HDAC11 gene, while in other embodiments; they insert exogenous sequences into a HDAC11 gene. In addition, in certain embodiments, including those using replacement vectors, knockout vectors both remove a region of a gene and introduce an exogenous sequence.
Targeting vectors in accordance with the present disclosure include all vectors capable of undergoing homologous recombination with an endogenous HDAC11 gene, including replacement vectors. Targeting vectors include all those used in methods of positive selection, negative selection, positive-negative selection, and positive switch selection. Targeting vectors employing positive, negative, and positive-negative selection are well known in the art and representative examples are described in Joyner, A. L., Gene Targeting: A Practical Approach, 2nd Ed. (2000) and references cited therein.
Antibody AgentsIn some embodiments, antibody agents that specifically bind HDAC11 can be used in accordance with the methods described herein. In some embodiments, an antibody agent that specifically binds to HDAC11 and inhibits its catalytic activity. As used herein, the term “antibody agent” refers to an agent that specifically binds to a particular antigen. In some embodiments, the term encompasses any polypeptide or polypeptide complex that includes immunoglobulin structural elements sufficient to confer specific binding. Exemplary antibody agents include, but are not limited to monoclonal antibodies or polyclonal antibodies. In some embodiments, an antibody agent may include one or more constant region sequences that are characteristic of mouse, rabbit, primate, or human antibodies. In some embodiments, an antibody agent may include one or more sequence elements are humanized, primatized, chimeric, etc, as is known in the art. In many embodiments, the term “antibody agent” is used to refer to one or more of the art-known or developed constructs or formats for utilizing antibody structural and functional features in alternative presentation. For example, embodiments, an antibody agent utilized in accordance with the present disclosure is in a format selected from, but not limited to, intact IgA, IgG, IgE or IgM antibodies; bi- or multi-specific antibodies (e.g., Zybodies®, etc); antibody fragments such as Fab fragments, Fab′ fragments, F(ab′)2 fragments, Fd′ fragments, Fd fragments, and isolated CDRs or sets thereof; single chain Fvs; polypeptide-Fc fusions; single domain antibodies (e.g., shark single domain antibodies such as IgNAR or fragments thereof); cameloid antibodies; masked antibodies (e.g., Probodies®); Small Modular ImmunoPharmaceuticals (“SMIPs™”); single chain or Tandem diabodies (TandAb®); VHHs; Anticalins®; Nanobodies® minibodies; BiTE®s; ankyrin repeat proteins or DARPINs®; Avimers®; DARTs; TCR-like antibodies; Adnectins®; Affilins®; Trans-bodies®; Affibodies®; TrimerX®; MicroProteins; Fynomers®, Centyrins®; and KALBITOR®s. In some embodiments, an antibody may lack a covalent modification (e.g., attachment of a glycan) that it would have if produced naturally. In some embodiments, an antibody may contain a covalent modification (e.g., attachment of a glycan, a payload [e.g., a detectable moiety, a therapeutic moiety, a catalytic moiety, etc], or other pendant group [e.g., poly-ethylene glycol, etc.]. In many embodiments, an antibody agent is or comprises a polypeptide whose amino acid sequence includes one or more structural elements recognized by those skilled in the art as a complementarity determining region (CDR); in some embodiments an antibody agent is or comprises a polypeptide whose amino acid sequence includes at least one CDR (e.g., at least one heavy chain CDR and/or at least one light chain CDR) that is substantially identical to one found in a reference antibody. In some embodiments an included CDR is substantially identical to a reference CDR in that it is either identical in sequence or contains between 1-5 amino acid substitutions as compared with the reference CDR. In some embodiments an included CDR is substantially identical to a reference CDR in that it shows at least 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% sequence identity with the reference CDR. In some embodiments an included CDR is substantially identical to a reference CDR in that it shows at least 96%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% sequence identity with the reference CDR. In some embodiments an included CDR is substantially identical to a reference CDR in that at least one amino acid within the included CDR is deleted, added, or substituted as compared with the reference CDR but the included CDR has an amino acid sequence that is otherwise identical with that of the reference CDR. In some embodiments an included CDR is substantially identical to a reference CDR in that 1-5 amino acids within the included CDR are deleted, added, or substituted as compared with the reference CDR but the included CDR has an amino acid sequence that is otherwise identical to the reference CDR. In some embodiments an included CDR is substantially identical to a reference CDR in that at least one amino acid within the included CDR is substituted as compared with the reference CDR but the included CDR has an amino acid sequence that is otherwise identical with that of the reference CDR. In some embodiments an included CDR is substantially identical to a reference CDR in that 1-5 amino acids within the included CDR are deleted, added, or substituted as compared with the reference CDR but the included CDR has an amino acid sequence that is otherwise identical to the reference CDR. In some embodiments, an antibody agent is or comprises a polypeptide whose amino acid sequence includes structural elements recognized by those skilled in the art as an immunoglobulin variable domain. In some embodiments, an antibody agent is a polypeptide protein having a binding domain which is homologous or largely homologous to an immunoglobulin-binding domain.
An antibody agent is said to “specifically bind,” “immunologically bind,” and/or is “immunologically reactive” to a polypeptide of the disclosure if it reacts at a detectable level (within, for example, an ELISA assay) with the polypeptide, and does not react detectably with unrelated polypeptides under similar conditions. Antibodies are considered to specifically bind to a target polypeptide when the binding affinity is at least 1×10−7 M or, preferably, at least 1×10−8 M. In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitory agent is an antibody agent that specifically binds the catalytic domain of HDAC11.
Antibody agents for use in accordance with the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, fully human antibodies, single chain antibodies, Fab fragments, and scFv fragments. An example of an anti-HDAC11 antibody is described in WO 2014/096386.
Antibody agents may be prepared by any of a variety of techniques known to those of ordinary skill in the art. See, e.g., Harlow and Lane, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1988. In general, antibodies can be produced by cell culture techniques, including the generation of monoclonal antibodies via conventional techniques known in the art, or via transfection of antibody genes into suitable bacterial or mammalian cell hosts, in order to allow for the production of recombinant antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) specific for an antigenic polypeptide of interest may be prepared, for example, using the technique of Kohler and Milstein, Eur. J. Immunol. 6:511-519, 1976, and improvements thereto. Methods of making chimeric and humanized antibodies are well known in the art, (See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567, International Application No. WO84/03712, respectively).
In certain embodiments, methods of preparing monoclonal antibodies involve the preparation of immortal cell lines capable of producing antibodies having the desired specificity (i.e., reactivity with the polypeptide of interest). Such cell lines may be produced, for example, from spleen cells obtained from an animal immunized as described above. The spleen cells are then immortalized by, for example, fusion with a myeloma cell fusion partner, preferably one that is syngeneic with the immunized animal. A variety of fusion techniques may be employed. For example, the spleen cells and myeloma cells may be combined with a nonionic detergent for a few minutes and then plated at low density on a selective medium that supports the growth of hybrid cells, but not myeloma cells. A preferred selection technique uses HAT (hypoxanthine, aminopterin, thymidine) selection. After a sufficient time, usually about 1 to 2 weeks, colonies of hybrids are observed. Single colonies are selected and their culture supernatants tested for binding activity against the polypeptide. Hybridomas having high reactivity and specificity are preferred.
Monoclonal antibodies may be isolated from the supernatants of growing hybridoma colonies. In addition, various techniques may be employed to enhance the yield, such as injection of the hybridoma cell line into the peritoneal cavity of a suitable vertebrate host, such as a mouse. Monoclonal antibodies may then be harvested from the ascites fluid or the blood. Contaminants may be removed from the antibodies by conventional techniques, such as chromatography, gel filtration, precipitation, and extraction. The polypeptides in accordance with the present disclosure may be used in the purification process in, for example, an affinity chromatography step.
A number of therapeutically useful molecules are known in the art which comprise antigen-binding sites that are capable of exhibiting immunological binding properties of an antibody molecule. The proteolytic enzyme papain preferentially cleaves IgG molecules to yield several fragments, two of which (the “F(ab)” fragments) each comprise a covalent heterodimer that includes an intact antigen-binding site. The enzyme pepsin is able to cleave IgG molecules to provide several fragments, including the “F(ab′)2” fragment which comprises both antigen-binding sites. An “Fv” fragment can be produced by preferential proteolytic cleavage of an IgM, and on rare occasions IgG or IgA immunoglobulin molecule. Fv fragments are, however, more commonly derived using recombinant techniques known in the art. The Fv fragment includes a non-covalent VH::VL heterodimer including an antigen-binding site which retains much of the antigen recognition and binding capabilities of the native antibody molecule. Inbar et al. (1972) Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 69:2659-2662; Hochman et al. (1976) Biochem 15:2706-2710; and Ehrlich et al. (1980) Biochem 19:4091-4096.
A single chain Fv (“scFv”) polypeptide is a covalently linked VH::VL heterodimer which is expressed from a gene fusion including VH- and VL-encoding genes linked by a peptide-encoding linker. Huston et al. (1988) Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 85(16):5879-5883. A number of methods have been described to discern chemical structures for converting the naturally aggregated—but chemically separated—light and heavy polypeptide chains from an antibody V region into an scFv molecule which will fold into a three dimensional structure substantially similar to the structure of an antigen-binding site. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,091,513 and 5,132,405, to Huston et al.; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,778, to Ladner et al.
In certain embodiments, each of the above-described antibody agents can include a heavy chain and a light chain complementarity-determining region (CDR) set, respectively interposed between a heavy chain and a light chain framework region which provide support to the CDRS and define the spatial relationship of the CDRs relative to each other. As used herein, the term “CDR set” refers to the three hypervariable regions of a heavy or light chain V region. Proceeding from the N-terminus of a heavy or light chain, these regions are denoted as “CDR1,” “CDR2,” and “CDR3” respectively. An antigen-binding site, therefore, includes six CDRs, comprising the CDR set from each of a heavy and a light chain V region. A polypeptide comprising a single CDR, (e.g., a CDR1, CDR2 or CDR3) is referred to herein as a “molecular recognition unit.” Crystallographic analysis of a number of antigen-antibody complexes has demonstrated that the amino acid residues of CDRs form extensive contact with bound antigen, wherein the most extensive antigen contact is with the heavy chain CDR3. Thus, the molecular recognition units are primarily responsible for the specificity of an antigen-binding site.
Fab or F(ab′)2 fragments may be wholly animal or human derived, or they may be in chimeric form, such that the constant domains are derived from the constant regions of human immunoglobulins and the variable regions are derived from the parent murine mAb. Alternatively, the Fv, Fab, or F(ab′)2 may be humanized, so that only the complementarity determining regions (CDR) are derived from an animal mAb, and the constant domains and the framework regions of the variable regions are of human origin. These chimeric and humanized fragments are less immunogenic than their wholly animal counterparts, and thus more suitable for in vivo use, especially over prolonged periods.
A number of “humanized” antibody molecules comprising an antigen-binding site derived from a non-human immunoglobulin have been described, including chimeric antibodies having rodent V regions and their associated CDRs fused to human constant domains (Winter et al. (1991) Nature 349:293-299; Lobuglio et al. (1989) Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 86:4220-4224; Shaw et al. (1987) J Immunol. 138:4534-4538; and Brown et al. (1987) Cancer Res. 47:3577-3583), rodent CDRs grafted into a human supporting FR prior to fusion with an appropriate human antibody constant domain (Riechmann et al. (1988) Nature 332:323-327; Verhoeyen et al. (1988) Science 239:1534-1536; and Jones et al. (1986) Nature 321:522-525), and rodent CDRs supported by recombinantly veneered rodent FRs (European Patent Publication No. 519,596, published Dec. 23, 1992). These “humanized” molecules are designed to minimize unwanted immunological response toward rodent antihuman antibody molecules which limits the duration and effectiveness of therapeutic applications of those moieties in human recipients.
Methods for humanizing non-human antibodies have been described in the art. Preferably, a humanized antibody has one or more amino acid residues introduced into it from a source which is non-human. These non-human amino acid residues are often referred to as “import” residues, which are typically taken from an “import” variable domain. Humanization can be essentially performed following the method of Winter and co-workers (Jones et al., Nature, 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature, 332:323-327 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science, 239:1534-1536 (1988)), by substituting hypervariable region sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody. Accordingly, such “humanized” antibodies are chimeric antibodies (U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567) wherein substantially less than an intact human variable domain has been substituted by the corresponding sequence from a non-human species. In practice, humanized antibodies are typically human antibodies in which some hypervariable region residues and possibly some FR residues are substituted by residues from analogous sites in rodent antibodies.
The choice of human variable domains, both light and heavy, to be used in making the humanized antibodies is very important to reduce antigenicity. According to the so-called “best-fit” method, the sequence of the variable domain of a rodent antibody is screened against the entire library of known human variable-domain sequences. The human sequence which is closest to that of the rodent is may be accepted as the human framework region (FR) for the humanized antibody (Sims et al., J. Immunol., 151:2296 (1993); Chothia et al., J. Mol. Biol., 196:901 (1987)). Another method uses a particular framework region derived from the consensus sequence of all human antibodies of a particular subgroup of light or heavy chains. The same framework may be used for several different humanized antibodies (Carter et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 89:4285 (1992); Presta et al., J. Immunol., 151:2623 (1993)).
Humanization generally aims to retain high affinity for the antigen of interest and other favorable biological properties. To achieve this goal, humanized antibodies may be prepared by a process of analysis of the parental sequences and various conceptual humanized products using three-dimensional models of the parental and humanized sequences. Three-dimensional immunoglobulin models are commonly available and are familiar to those skilled in the art. Computer programs are available which illustrate and display probable three-dimensional conformational structures of selected candidate immunoglobulin sequences. Inspection of these displays permits analysis of the likely role of the residues in the functioning of the candidate immunoglobulin sequence, i.e., the analysis of residues that influence the ability of the candidate immunoglobulin to bind its antigen. In this way, FR residues can be selected and combined from the recipient and import sequences so that the desired antibody characteristic, such as increased affinity for the target antigen(s), is achieved. In general, the hypervariable region residues are directly and most substantially involved in influencing antigen binding.
As an alternative to humanization, human antibodies can be generated. For example, it is now possible to produce transgenic animals (e.g., mice) that are capable, upon immunization, of producing a full repertoire of human antibodies in the absence of endogenous immunoglobulin production. For example, it has been described that the homozygous deletion of the antibody heavy-chain joining region (JH) gene in chimeric and germ-line mutant mice results in complete inhibition of endogenous antibody production. Transfer of the human germ-line immunoglobulin gene array in such germ-line mutant mice will result in the production of human antibodies upon antigen challenge. See, e.g., Jakobovits et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90:2551 (1993); Jakobovits et al., Nature, 362:255-258 (1993); Bruggermann et al., Year in Immuno., 7:33 (1993); and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,591,669, 5,589,369 and 5,545,807.
Humanized or fully human antibodies in accordance with the present disclosure may be prepared according to the methods described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,770,429, 5,833,985, 5,837,243, 5,922,845, 6,071,517, 6,096,311, 6,111,166, 6,270,765, 6,303,755, 6,365,116, 6,410,690, 6,682,928, and 6,984,720.
Phage display technology (McCafferty et al., Nature 348:552-553 (1990)) can also be used to produce human antibodies and antibody fragments in vitro, from immunoglobulin variable (V) domain gene repertoires from unimmunized donors. According to this technique, antibody V domain genes are cloned in-frame into either a major or minor coat protein gene of a filamentous bacteriophage, such as M13 or fd, and displayed as functional antibody fragments on the surface of the phage particle. Because the filamentous particle contains a single-stranded DNA copy of the phage genome, selections based on the functional properties of the antibody also result in selection of the gene encoding the antibody exhibiting those properties. Thus, the phage mimics some of the properties of the B cell.
Phage display can be performed in a variety of formats; for their review see, e.g., Johnson, Kevin S. and Chiswell, David J., Current Opinion in Structural Biology 3:564-571 (1993). Several sources of V-gene segments can be used for phage display. Clackson et al., Nature, 352:624-628 (1991) isolated a diverse array of anti-oxazolone antibodies from a small random combinatorial library of V genes derived from the spleens of immunized mice. A repertoire of V genes from unimmunized human donors can be constructed and antibodies to a diverse array of antigens (including self-antigens) can be isolated essentially following the techniques described by Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol. 222:581-597 (1991), or Griffith et al., EMBO J. 12:725-734 (1993). See, also, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,565,332 and 5,573,905.
Phage display may be used to generate synthetic antibodies or human antibodies according to various methods. For example, in certain embodiments, phage display is utilized to produce a library of fully human antibodies or fragments thereof, which may be screened for their ability to bind a target polypeptide, such as HDAC11. The screening of such libraries is commercially available, e.g., by Morphosys (Munich, Germany). Libraries of human antibodies and methods of use thereof are described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,049,135, 6,828,422, 6,753,138, 6,706, and 484, 6,696,248, and U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2006/0121563, 2006/0003334, and 2004/0157291, all assigned to Morphosys.

Methods of Synthesizing the Disclosed CompoundsThe compounds of the present invention may be made by a variety of methods, including standard chemistry. Suitable synthetic routes are depicted in the schemes given below.
The compounds of Formula II may be prepared by methods known in the art of organic synthesis as set forth in part by the following synthetic schemes and examples. In the schemes described below, it is well understood that protecting groups for sensitive or reactive groups are employed where necessary in accordance with general principles or chemistry. Protecting groups are manipulated according to standard methods of organic synthesis (T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, Third edition, Wiley, New York 1999). These groups are removed at a convenient stage of the compound synthesis using methods that are readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The selection processes, as well as the reaction conditions and order of their execution, shall be consistent with the preparation of compounds of Formula II.
Those skilled in the art will recognize if a stereocenter exists in the compounds of Formula II. Accordingly, the present invention includes both possible stereoisomers (unless specified in the synthesis) and includes not only racemic compounds but the individual enantiomers and/or diastereomers as well. When a compound is desired as a single enantiomer or diastereomer, it may be obtained by stereospecific synthesis or by resolution of the final product or any convenient intermediate. Resolution of the final product, an intermediate, or a starting material may be affected by any suitable method known in the art. See, for example, “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds” by E. L. Eliel, S. H. Wilen, and L. N. Mander (Wiley-lnterscience, 1994).
Preparation of CompoundsThe compounds described herein may be made from commercially available starting materials or synthesized using known organic, inorganic, and/or enzymatic processes.
The compounds of the present invention can be prepared in a number of ways well known to those skilled in the art of organic synthesis. By way of example, compounds of the Formula II can be synthesized using the methods described below, together with synthetic methods known in the art of synthetic organic chemistry, or variations thereon as appreciated by those skilled in the art. These methods include but are not limited to those methods described below.
wherein L and R are defined as in Formula (II).
A general method of preparing target molecules of Formula (II-A) by using Intermediates 1a-2, 1b-2, 1c-2, 1d-2, 1e-2, 1f-2, and 1g-2 is outlined in Scheme 1-2. Carbonylation of the starting material (1a-2), for instance in the presence of a metal catalyst, e.g., [1,1′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (Pd(dppf)Cl2), carbon monoxide, and a base, e.g., triethylamine (Et3N), provides ester 1b-2. Further carbonylation of 1b-2, for instance using a base, e.g., sodium hydride (NaH), in the presence of dimethyl carbonate affords Intermediate 1c-2, which can be alkylated by treatment with a halo-nitrile in the presence of a base to provide Intermediates 1d-2. Reduction, for example, with hydrogen gas in the presence of platinum (IV) oxide (PtO2), acetic acid, and methanol (MeOH), can provide alkyl amine 1e-2. Spiro-lactams 1f-2 can be obtained, for example, by treatment of 1e-2 with ammonia (NH3) in MeOH. Addition of the R-L moiety can be achieved via standard methods of, for instance, alkylation, arylation, acylation, urea formation, or sulfonation. For example, alkylation of 1f-2 with an alkyl halide in the presence of a base, e.g., NaH, can provide compounds of Intermediates 1g-2. Alternatively, arylation of 1f-2 with an aryl halide in the presence of a metal catalyst, e.g., copper (I) iodide (CuI), a diamine ligand, and a base, can also provide compounds of Intermediates 1g-2. Treatment of 1g-2 with hydroxylamine and a base, e.g., sodium hydroxide (NaOH), can provide compounds of Formula (II-A).
wherein L and R are defined as in Formula (II).
A general method of preparing target molecules of Formula (II-B) by using Intermediates 1f-2, 1g-2, 1h-2, and 1j-2 is outlined in Scheme 2-2. Spiro-amines 1h-2 can be obtained via reduction of thiolactams 1g-2 by treatment of 1f-2 with 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,4-dithioxo-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane (Lawesson reagent), followed by sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in the presence of, for instance, nickel (II) chloride hexahydrate (NiCl2.6H2O). Addition of the R-L moiety to achieve Intermediates 1j-2 can be achieved via standard methods of alkylation, arylation, acylation, urea formation, or sulfonation. Treatment of 1j-2 with hydroxylamine and a base, e.g., NaOH, can provide compounds of Formula (II-B).
wherein L and R are defined as in Formula (II).
A general method of preparing target molecules of Formula (II-C) by using Intermediates 1k-2, 1m-2, 1n-2, 1p-2, 1q-2, and 1r-2 is outlined in Scheme 3-2. Spiro-amines 1p-2 can be obtained via the double α-alkylation of aryl bromide 1a-2. Double alkyl bromide amines 1n-2 can be obtained from alcohols (1k-2) following protection with a benzyl group 1m-2 followed by bromination under standard conditions (e.g., treatment with PBr3). Carbonylation of 1p-2 in the presence of a metal catalyst, e.g., Pd(dppf)Cl2, carbon monoxide, and a base, e.g., Et3N, can provide esters 1q-2. Following debenzylation of 1q-2 under standard conditions (e.g., hydrogenation), to afford 1r-2, addition of the R-L moiety can be achieved via standard methods of alkylation, arylation, acylation, urea formation, or sulfonation to give 1s-2. Treatment of 1s-2 with hydroxylamine and a base, e.g., NaOH, can provide compounds of Formula (II-C).
wherein L and R are defined as in Formula (II).

Double bromination of 1-bromo-2,3-dimethylbenzene (1t-2), followed by in situ generation of a reactive diene from 1u-2, for example, in the presence of sodium iodide, to undergo a Diels-Alder cycloaddition with methyl acrylate can afford a regioisomeric mixture of tetrahydronaphthalenes 1v-2. Carbonylation of 1v-2 in the presence of a metal catalyst, e.g., Pd(dppf)Cl2, carbon monoxide, and a base, e.g., Et3N, can provide esters 1w-2, which can be alkylated by treatment with a halo-nitrile in the presence of a base to provide Intermediates 1x-2. Reduction, for example, with hydrogen gas in the presence of PtO2, acetic acid, and MeOH, can be followed by treatment with NH3 in MeOH to provide spiro-lactams 1y-2 and 1aa-2, which can be separated by column chromatography. Addition of the R-L moiety can be achieved via standard methods of alkylation, acylation, urea formation, sulfonation or arylation. For example, alkylation of 1y-2 or 1aa-2 with an alkyl halide in the presence of a base, e.g., NaH, can provide compounds of Intermediates 1z-2 and 1bb-2. Alternatively, arylation of 1y-2 or 1aa-2 with an aryl boronic acid in the presence of a metal catalyst, e.g., copper (II) acetate (Cu(OAc)2), and a base, can also provide compounds of Intermediates 1z-2 or 1bb-2.

Addition of the R-L moiety can be achieved via standard methods of alkylation, arylation, acylation, urea formation, or sulfonation. Treatment of 1hh-2 with hydroxylamine and a base, e.g., NaOH, can provide compounds of Formula (II-C1).
wherein L and R are defined as in Formula (II).

In some embodiments are provided methods of treating a disease associated with HDAC11 modulation in a subject in need thereof. In some embodiments, a method involves administering to a patient in need of treatment for diseases or disorders associated with HDAC11 an effective amount of a HDAC11 inhibitor. In some embodiments, a disease for treatment can be, but is not limited to, a cell proliferative disease, a cancer, a neurodegenerative disease, a neurodevelopmental disease, an inflammatory or autoimmune disease, an infection, a metabolic disease, a hematologic disease, or a cardiovascular disease.
In some embodiments, a method of treating a cell proliferative disease comprises administering a HDAC11 inhibitor to a subject. In some embodiments, an effective amount (e.g., a therapeutic amount) of a HDAC11 inhibitor is administered.
In any of the methods described herein, a HDAC11 inhibitor of any class may be used. In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor is a siRNA, a shRNA, an antibody agent, or a chemical compound (e.g., a small molecule). In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor is a siRNA, a shRNA, an antibody agent, or a chemical compound (e.g., a small molecule). In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor is a chemical compound that is a small molecule. In some embodiments, a small molecule HDAC11 inhibitor is at least 10-fold selective for the inhibition of HDAC11 over one or more other histone deacetylase isoforms (e.g., HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, HDAC8, HDAC9 and/or HDAC10). In some embodiments, a small molecule HDAC11 inhibitor is at least 10-fold, 20-fold, 30-fold, 40-fold, 50-fold, 60-fold, 70-fold, 80-fold, 90-fold, 100-fold, 200-fold, 300-fold, 400-fold, 500-fold, 1,000-fold, 2,000-fold, 3,000-fold, or more selective for inhibition of HDAC11 over one or more other histone deacetylase isoforms (e.g., HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, HDAC8, HDAC9 and/or HDAC10).

In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor is specific for human HDAC11.
CancersIn some embodiments are provided methods to treat cell proliferative diseases or disorders, such as, for example, cancer. Generally, in the context of the present disclosure, a cancer can be understood as abnormal or unregulated cell growth within a patient. In some embodiments, a cancer can include, but is not limited to, hematological malignancy, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular cancer, renal cancer, melanoma, and leukemias such as acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Additional cancer types include T-cell lymphoma (e.g., cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma), Hodgkin lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
In some embodiments, the present disclosure encompasses the recognition that HDAC11 inhibitors may be beneficial for targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs are cancer cells found within tumors or hematological cancers that possess characteristics associated with normal stem cells, specifically the ability to give rise to all cell types found in a particular cancer sample. As a result, CSCs may generate tumors through the stem cell processes of self-renewal and differentiation and can thus potentially persist in tumors causing relapse and metastasis by giving rise to new tumors. Specific therapies targeted at CSCs would be beneficial for the treatment of patients, particularly those with metastatic disease, however a challenge to development of therapies targeted at CSCs is the identification of specific CSC markers to help identify therapies that can target certain CSCs specifically. In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor can specifically target CSCs. In some embodiments, a HDAC11 inhibitor may specifically target cancer cells that exhibit cancer stem cell properties and/or are associated with gene amplification of genes associated with cancer stem cell activity.
In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method of treating a cancer wherein one or more cancer cells exhibit stem cell-like properties. In some embodiments, the cancer is associated with a gene amplification of SOX2. In some embodiments, the cancer associated with a gene amplification of SOX2 is esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, lung, squamous cell carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer or sinonasal cancer.
In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for inhibiting expression of SOX2 in a stem-like cancer cell in a patient having a cancer, comprising administering a HDAC11 inhibitor to the patient. Sex determining region Y-Box 2 (SOX2) is a gene that encodes for a transcription factor belonging to the SOX gene family and has been described as an essential embryonic stem cell gene and as a necessary factor for induced cellular reprogramming. Recent research has indicated that SOX2 is frequently overexpressed in a variety of human cancers and acts as an oncogene to confer certain stem cell properties to carcinoma cells. Consequently, there has been a great deal of interest about the role of SOX2 in the clinic and potential therapeutic targets to selectively target SOX2-expressing cancer cells (Weina et al, Clin and Translational Med. 2014, July; 3:19), however it has been challenging to identify selective targets and therapies for SOX2-expressing cancer cells. Accordingly, there remains a need for effective, safe and selective methods of treating diseases or disorders associated with gene amplification of SOX2. In some embodiments, a SOX2-expressing cancer is lung cancer, hematological cancer or breast cancer. In some embodiments, a hematological cancer is MPN, lymphoma, or leukemia. In some embodiments, a cancer is esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, lung, squamous cell carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer or sinonasal cancer.
In some embodiments, a cancer for treatment with a HDAC11 is a cancer that is associated with a gene activation of STAT3. In some embodiments, a cancer associated with a gene activation of STAT3 is breast cancer.
In some embodiments, treating proliferative diseases or disorders can include any cancer where there is evidence of an increase in Treg/effector T cell ratio, and/or an increase in absolute Treg number, and/or increased expression of T cell tolerance-related genes. In some embodiments, an increase in Treg number can in the periphery, in the tumor microenvironment, and/or tertiary lymphoid structures. Such proliferative diseases or disorders can include, but are not limited to: any Kras mutant carrying tumor (http://cancerimmunolres.aacrjournals.org/content/early/2016/02/13/2326-6066.CIR-15-0241.long); renal cell carcinoma; lung carcinoma; cervical cancer; prostate cancer; ovarian cancer; head and neck cancer; lymphoma; colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma; breast cancers (Gobert, M. et al. (2009) Cancer Res. 69, 2000-2009); and bladder cancer.
In some embodiments, a cell proliferation disease is a hematological malignancy. Hematological malignancies include, but are not limited to, leukemia (e.g., acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL)), lymphoma (e.g., Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)), and myeloma (e.g., multiple myeloma).
In some embodiments, a cell proliferation disease is a solid tumor. Examples of solid tumors include, but are not limited to, sarcomas, carcinomas, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular cancer, renal cancer, and melanoma. In some embodiments, a solid tumor is benign. In some embodiments, a solid tumor is malignant.
In some embodiments, a cell proliferation disease is a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). Myeloproliferative neoplasms are hematological diseases characterized by excessive and chronic production of mature cells from one or several myeloid lineages (Sonbol et al, Ther Adv Hematol. 2013, February; 4(1):15-35). MPNs include, but are not limited to, polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL), and chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL).
MPNs are often associated with mutations in JAK2 or MPL. Current treatments for MPNs include the use of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitors such as ruxolitinib; however, some cells remain refractory to treatment with JAK2 inhibitors. Moreover, current therapies treat the symptoms rather than the disease. While class I and/or class II HDAC inhibitors have been suggested for treating certain MPNs (WO 2010/034693, US 2011/0237663, and US 2014/0039059), pan-HDAC inhibitors can result in cellular toxicity due to the large role HDACs play in regulating transcription. Accordingly, there remains a need for effective, safe, and selective methods of treating cell proliferative diseases, particularly MPNs.
In certain embodiments, a MPN for treatment with a HDAC11 inhibitor is selected from PV, ET, and PMF. In certain embodiments, a MPN is PV. In certain embodiments, a MPN is ET. In certain embodiments, a MPN is PMF.
Inflammatory and Autoimmune DiseasesThe present disclosure encompasses the recognition that inhibition of HDAC11 may be beneficial for treatment or prevention of inflammatory and/or autoimmune diseases. Without wishing to be bound to theory, it is envisioned that inhibition of HDAC11 may exert effects on immune cell regulation (e.g., T cells, B cells, macrophages, and/or antigen presenting cells (APC)). For example, the protein interactome of HDAC11 in T cells suggests a wide variety of substrates and biological processes (Joshi et al, Mol Syst Biol. 2013, 9:672). HDAC11 also regulates interleukin 10 (IL-10) expression in antigen presenting cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (Villagra et al, Nat Immunol. 2009, January; 10(1):92-100; Cheng et al, Mol Immunol. 2014, July; 60(1):44-53; Sahakian et al, Mol Immunol. 2015, February; 63(2):579-85). HDAC11 also plays a role in regulating OX40 ligand in antigen presenting cells (Buglio et al, Blood. 2011, Mar. 10; 117(10):2910-7).
In some embodiments, a disease or disorder for treatment with a HDAC11 inhibitor is an immune or inflammatory disorder, which may be acute or chronic. Examples of immune and inflammatory disorders include inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease.

Example 1 HDAC Inhibition AssaysThis example describes in vitro inhibition properties of exemplary HDAC11 inhibitors for various HDACs. HDAC inhibition assays were performed using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay at Nanosyn, Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.). Full length human recombinant HDAC proteins were expressed in the baculoviral system and purified by affinity chromatography. A human recombinant HDAC3 was co-expressed with nuclear receptor corepressor (Ncor2). The following peptide substrates were used: FAM-RHKK(Ac)-NH2 for HDAC3, HDAC6 and HDAC8; FITC-H3K27(Ac)-NH2 for HDAC1, HDAC2 and HDAC10; FAM-RHKK(tri-fluor-Ac)-NH2 for HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC7, HDAC9 and HDAC11. Reactions consisting of compound, enzyme, and substrate were performed in reaction buffer (comprised of 100 mM HEPES, pH7.5, 25 mM KCl, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, 0.01% Triton X-100) at 25° C. and quenched by the addition of termination buffer (100 mM HEPES, pH7.5, 0.01% Triton X-100, 0.05% SDS). The fluorescence intensity of the electrophoretically separated de-acetylated product and substrate peptide were measured and analyzed using the LabChip® 3000 microfluidic electrophoresis instrument (Perkin Elmer/Caliper Life Sciences). The IC50 values of inhibitors were determined by fitting the %-inhibition curves with 4 parameter dose-response model using XLfit 4 software (IDB S).
Table 1 shows the activity of exemplary selective HDAC11 inhibitors from three different chemical series.
Exemplary selective HDAC11 inhibitors HDTK010 and HDTK054 display>200-fold selectivity over HDACs 1-10.
Exemplary selective HDAC11 inhibitors HDTK070 and HDTK028 display>1800-fold selectivity over HDACs1-10.
This example describes certain in vivo effects of modulating HDAC11 in vivo, using an exemplary model mouse for MPN disease. Effects of HDAC11 knockout on MPN disease were determined using a MPLW515L mouse bone marrow transplant model. This model was established using procedures as described previously with minor modifications (Pikman et al. PloS Med. 2006). Bone marrow cells were harvested from C57BL/6 donor mice (either wild-type (WT) or HDAC11 knock out (KO) mice) 7 days after 5-fluorouracil injection (150 mg/kg). Cells were then treated with red blood cell lysis buffer and cultured overnight in transplantation medium (RPMI-1640+10% fetal bovine serum (FBS)+6 ng/ml IL-3, 10 ng/ml IL-6 and 10 ng/ml stem-cell factor (SCF)) at 37° C. and 5% CO2. The next day cells were transduced with recombinant retroviruses overexpressing either MPLW515L or MPLWT by spin infection at 2500 rpm for 90 minutes at 30° C. The spin infection was repeated 24 hours later. Cells were then re-suspended in PBS and injected into tail veins of lethally irradiated (2×450 cGy) C57BL/6 recipient mice at 0.8-1.0×106 cells/mouse. Viral constructs used included MSCV-human-MPLW515L-green fluorescent protein (GFP) and MSCV-human-MPLWT-GFP. Peripheral blood cell counts including white blood cells (WBC), platelets (PLT), and red blood cells (RBC) were measured at indicated time points to evaluate disease burden. Spleens were isolated and the weights were measured. Bone marrow cells were collected from two femurs and two tibias. After RBC lysis, cells were lysed for western blot analysis.

The following compounds were prepared according to the parallel synthesis method of Example 29-2, with the following modification: In Step 1, methyl spiro[chromane-2,4′-piperidine]-5-carboxylate HCl was used.
The enzymatic HDAC11 assay was performed using electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Full length human recombinant HDAC11 protein was expressed in baculoviral system and purified by affinity chromatography. The enzymatic reactions were assembled in 384 well plates in a total volume of 25 μL in a reaction buffer composing: 100 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 25 mM KCl, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, 0.01% Triton X-100, 1% DMSO (from compounds) 2 M of the fluorescently labeled peptide substrate and enzyme. The enzyme was added at a final concentration of 10 nM. The peptide substrate FAM-RHKK(tri-fluor-Ac)-NH2 was used. The compounds were tested at 12 concentrations spaced by 3× dilution intervals. Negative control samples (0%−inhibition in the absence of inhibitor) and positive control samples (100%−inhibition) were assembled in replicates of four in each assay plate. The reactions were incubated at 25° C. and quenched by the addition of 45 μL of termination buffer (100 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.01% Triton X-100, 0.05% SDS).
The terminated assay plates were analyzed on LabChip® 3000 microfluidic electrophoresis instrument (Perkin Elmer/Caliper Life Sciences). The fluorescence intensity of the electrophoretically separated de-acetylated product and substrate peptide was measured. Activity in each sample was determined as the product to sum ratio (PSR): P/(S+P), where P is the peak height of the product peptide and S is the peak height of the substrate peptide. Percent inhibition (Pinh) is determined using the following equation:
Pinh=(PSR0%−PSRinh)/(PSR0%−PSR100%)*100,
where PSRinh is the product sum ratio in the presence of inhibitor, PSR0% is the average product sum ration in the absence of inhibitor and PSR100% is the average product sum ratio in 100%−inhibition control samples. The IC50 values of inhibitors were determined by fitting the percent inhibition curves with 4 parameter dose-response model using XLfit 4 software.
As set forth in Table 14-2 below, “+++” indicates an IC50 below 0.5 μM; “++” indicates an IC50 between 0.5 μM and 1 μM; and “+” indicates an IC50 above 1 μM.
