SummaryThe EGFR-adaptor protein CIN85 has been shown to promote breast cancer malignancy and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) stability. However, the mechanisms underlying cancer promotion remain ill-defined. Here, we show that CIN85 is a novel binding partner of the main HIF-prolyl hydroxylase PHD2, but not of PHD1 or PHD3. Mechanistically, the N-terminal SH3 domains of CIN85 interact with the proline-arginine rich region within the N-terminus of PHD2, thereby inhibiting PHD2 activity and HIF-degradation. This activity is essential in vivo, as specific loss of the CIN85-PHD2 interaction in CRISPR/Cas9 edited cells affected growth and migration properties as well as tumor growth in mice. Overall, we discovered a previously unrecognized tumor growth checkpoint that is regulated by CIN85-PHD2, and uncovered an essential survival function in tumor cells linking growth factor adaptors with hypoxia signaling.

Daprodustat (GSK1278863) is a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-prolyl hydroxylase (PHD) inhibitor in development for treatment of anemia of chronic kidney disease. Daprodustat’s biological activity simulates components of the natural response to hypoxia; inhibition of PHDs results in HIF stabilization and modulation of HIF-controlled gene products, including erythropoietin. The carcinogenic potential of daprodustat was evaluated in 2-year carcinogenicity studies in Sprague-Dawley rats and CD-1 mice, where once-daily doses were administered. The mouse study also included evaluation of daprodustat’s 3 major circulating human metabolites. There were no neoplastic findings that were considered treatment related in either study. Exaggerated pharmacology resulted in significantly increased red cell mass and subsequent multiorgan congestion and secondary non-neoplastic effects in both species, similar to those observed in chronic toxicity studies. In rats, these included aortic thrombosis and an exacerbation of spontaneous rodent cardiomyopathy, which contributed to a statistically significant decrease in survival in high-dose males (group terminated in week 94). Survival was not impacted in mice at any dose. Systemic exposures (area under the plasma concentration–time curve) to daprodustat at the high doses in rats and mice exceed predicted maximal human clinical exposure by ≥143-fold. These results suggest that daprodustat and metabolites do not pose a carcinogenic risk at clinical doses.

Four compounds in clinical trials for anaemia treatment are potent inhibitors of the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs), but differ in potency and how they interact with HIF at the PHD active site.

The hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a central transcription factor involved in the cellular and molecular adaptation to hypoxia and low glucose supply. The level of HIF-1 is to a large degree regulated by the HIF prolyl hydroxylase enzymes (HPHs) belonging to the Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily. In the present study, we compared competitive and noncompetitive HPH-inhibitor compounds in two different cell types (SH-SY5Y and PC12). Although the competitive HPH-inhibitor compounds were found to be pharmacologically more potent than the non-competitive compounds at inhibiting HPH2 and HPH1, this was not translated into the cellular effects of the compounds, where the non-competitive inhibitors were actually more potent than the competitive in stabilizing and translocatingHIF1αto the nucleus (quantified with Cellomics ArrayScan technology). This could be explained by the high cellular concentrations of the cofactor 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG) as the competitive inhibitors act by binding to the 2-OG site of the HPH enzymes. Both competitive and non-competitive HPH inhibitors protected the cells against 6-OHDA induced oxidative stress. In addition, the protective effect of a specific HPH inhibitor was partially preserved when the cells were serum starved and exposed to 2-deoxyglucose, an inhibitor of glycolysis, indicating that other processes than restoring energy supply could be important for the HIF-mediated cytoprotection.
