The proteasome deubiquitinase inhibitor VLX1570 shows selectivity for ubiquitin-specific protease-14 and induces apoptosis of multiple myeloma cells

Abstract: Inhibition of deubiquitinase (DUB) activity is a promising strategy for cancer therapy. VLX1570 is an inhibitor of proteasome DUB activity currently in clinical trials for relapsed multiple myeloma.Here we show that VLX1570 binds to and inhibits the activity of ubiquitin-specific protease-14 (USP14) in vitro, with comparatively weaker inhibitory activity towards UCHL5 (ubiquitin-C-terminal hydrolase-5). Exposure of multiple myeloma cells to VLX1570 resulted in thermostabilization of USP14 at therapeutically re… Show more

“…The level of sensitivity of ALL B-cell lines to VLX1570 is similar to that previously found in multiple myeloma cells [19], which are generally classified as sensitive to inhibitors of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), and higher than that of melanoma and colon cancer cells [21]. Inhibition of proteasome ubiquitin processing following VLX1570 treatment results in the accumulation of high molecular weight polyubiquitinated substrates in cells [19, 21]. We indeed found a dose-dependent increase in high-molecular polyubiquitinated proteins in ALL cells following exposure to VLX1570 (Figure 1B).…”

“…b-AP15 has been found to inhibit the proteasome by inhibiting the DUBs USP14 and UCHL5 [15]. VLX1570, which is an analog of b-AP15, has been found to inhibit the proteasome by preferentially binding to USP14 [57]. The structural similarities between P1 and P2 and the aforementioned compounds support the argument that P1 and P2 may interact with these DUBs.…”

“…Further DEG analysis led to the identification of two similar compounds, b-AP15 and VLX5710, that induce proteotoxic stress [15, 57]. These compounds act by inhibiting proteasome-related de-ubiquitinases (DUBs).…”

“…The P. falciparum homolog PfUSP14 (PF3D7_0527200) was shown to bind plasmodial proteasomes, and small-molecule inhibition (b-AP15) of this enzyme led to accumulation of proteasomal substrates and P. falciparum death [31]. Inhibitors of the human USP14 are currently in clinical trials to treat multiple myeloma [55, 56]. Recently, multiple natural and synthetic compounds have been identified to inhibit the deubiquitinating activity of the 19S subunit Rpn11 [5759].…”
