PF477736 and PF3644022 are potent and selective Chk1- and MK2 inhibitors, respectively.The simultaneous Chk1- and MK2 inhibition with PF477736 and PF3644022 is proposed as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of KRAS-or BRAF-driven cancers. [1]
Chk1 and MK2 are both critical components of the G2/M checkpoint, which are essential for avoiding mitotic entry of cells suffering from genotoxic damage [2].Chk1 and Chk2 are important effector kinases in the canonical DNA damage response (DDR) network through the upstreamkinases ATR and ATM[3] (Jackson and Bartek, 2009).The p38/MK2 pathway is a widespread stress-kinase pathway that operates in parallel to Chk1. Chk1 and MK2 control checkpoint initiation and maintenance, respectively [4]. The activity of both kinases converges on mediating inhibitory phosphorylations onCDC25 familymembers to induce a subsequent cell-cycle arrest by blocking CDC25B-dependent CDK activation [2].
KRAS is one of the most frequently mutated onco-genes in human cancer. Acute expression of oncogenic KRAS induces genotoxic damage. Oncogenic KRAS mutations are associated with addiction to Chk1-/MK2-mediated checkpoints. [1]
Strong synergistic effects in cell-cycle checkpoint had been shown between PF477736 and PF3644022 in 33 out of the 96 cell lines, specifically in KRAS- and BRAF-driven cells. KRAS-mutant cancer displays intrinsic genotoxic stress, leading to tonic Chk1- and MK2 activity. Co-treatment of PF477736 and PF3644022leads to mitotic catastrophe in KRAS-mutant cells. [1]
In xenograft mice models, including distinct Kras-or Braf-driven autochthonous murine cancer models, this actionable synergistic interaction is validated. In KRAS-or BRAF-mutant tumorcells directly isolated from patients, the combined checkpoint inhibition induces apoptotic cell death. [1]
