KEYNOTE LECTURE
BIO & ABSTRACT
Novel therapeutic development for Parkinson’s disease
Kwang-Soo Kim, Harvard Medical School
Biography Dr. Kim’s research has been focused on the transcriptional regulatory cascade of midbrain dopamine neuronal system in health and disease. Based on these studies, Dr. Kim’s recent research is focused on identification and validation of potential drug targets for novel mechanism-based disease-modifying therapeutics development for PD. In addition, Dr. Kim’s lab is investigating molecular mechanisms of somatic reprogramming and in vitro differentiation of hiPSCs for establishing personalized cell therapy of PD. Dr. Kim has published >160 peer-reviewed papers and has trained >100 students, postdocs, and visiting scholars, many of whom are currently working in major universities and institutes in USA, Europe, and Korea. Abstract Based on our studies of transcriptional mechanisms underlying development and maintenance of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, we identified the orphan nuclear receptor Nurr1 as a promising therapeutic target of PD. Although Nurr1 is generally considered to be a ligand-independent constitutively active transcription factor, our data show that Nurr1’s function can be prominently regulated by small molecule agonists/ligands, suggesting that Nurr1’s native and/or synthetic ligands can be developed as a novel class of mechanism-based, disease-modifying therapeutics for PD via direct binding and activation of Nurr1. In addition, given that major motor dysfunction of PD is caused by selective degeneration of midbrain dopamine neurons, cell replacement is a promising approach for PD. Thus, we are developing and optimizing human iPSC-based transplantation for autologous, personalized cell therapy. I will discuss our progress on these translational researches towards novel therapeutic development for PD.

SESSION A
A-1: Discovery of E7766: A representative of a novel class of macrocycle-bridged STING agonists (MBSAs) with
pan-genotypic activity
Dae-Shik Kim, Eisai
Biography Dae-Shik Kim, Ph.D. is currently a Principal Scientist of Eisai Inc., a global pharmaceutical company with its focus on oncology and neurology. He obtained his B.S. and M.S. degrees in South Korea from Seoul National University and his doctoral degree in 2007 from University of Pennsylvania while working on his research projects under Professor Amos B Smith, III. He joined Professor Kishi’s lab at Harvard University for his postdoctoral training, where he investigated new synthetic routes for Halichondrin. He then joined Eisai in 2009 as a scientist in chemistry. Since then, he has been involved in various projects including process research for BACE inhibitor, development new synthetic routes for Halaven, building macrocycle library, discovery of novel Sting agonist in immuno-oncology, and antisense oligonucleotide. Abstract STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is an emerging target for cancer immunotherapy. 2’,3'-cGAMP, a natural cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) STING agonist, and its phosphorothioate analogs, have drawn broad attention as lead molecules for STING targeted drug discovery. These CDNs, however, lack efficacy in some common STING genotypes disproportionally represented in non-Caucasians. Moreover, such CDNs have not fully addressed liability in chemical/metabolic stability. Here we report our chemistry approach to control STING agonist conformation to enhance binding affinity across all common STING genotypes and broaden the therapeutic potential of such compounds. Our SBDD approach started with analysis of the binding pocket and key protein-ligand interactions to prioritize a focused set of analogs for chemical synthesis. Systematic SAR was built upon in vitro assays for STING binding affinity and activation of STING genotypes. X-ray single crystal structures were established for STING and diverse analogs, in free and bound states, to provide structural insight for rational analog design. Structural modeling was refined to evaluate different binding modes and dynamic conformational changes in the STING-ligand interface. We observed that STING-bound CDNs had the two ancillary nucleobases specifically oriented in close proximity with parallel pi-pi stacking and discovered that covalently linking the nucleobases advantageously pre-organize the bioactive constrained conformation for enhanced STING affinity. Our discovery established a novel class of macrocycle-bridged STING agonists (MBSAs). E7766, a representative of Eisai MBSA platform, shows superior in vitro activity against all the major human STING genotypes over reference CDNs, most distinctly in STINGREF. E7766 co-crystal structures with STINGWT and STINGREF provide structural basis for the added benefit of the topological novelty. The macrocyclic linker bridging the top of nucleobases perturbs the STING lid loop conformation and create new and specific interactions with both genotypes. In twelve subcutaneous tumor models in immune competent mice, single intra-tumoral injections achieved either complete regression or significant tumor growth delay with no serious adverse effect. E7766 also shows excellent chemical and metabolic stability, presumably conferred by conformational rigidity of the unique macrocycle bridge. Eisai successfully discovered E7766, a representative of a novel class of macrocycle-bridged STING agonist topologically distinct from conventional STING agonists. E7766 demonstrated pan-genotypic STING activation, potent anti-cancer activities and excellent chemical and metabolic stability for further development.

A-2: Drug discovery and development in IPF
Sunhwa Kim, Merck & Co., Inc.
Biography Sunhwa Kim, Ph.D. is a principal scientist at Merck Research Laboratory, Merck & Co at South San Francisco with its focus on the pathologic aspects of inflammation and fibrosis in NASH and IPF. Sunhwa obtained her B.S. degree in Microbiology from Kyung-Pook National University in Daegu, Korea and M.S. degree in Microbiology from the University of Tokyo, Japan. Sunhwa obtained her doctoral degree in Immunology at the University of Tokyo as well while working on her research projects under Drs. Taniguchi Tadatsugu and Takayanagi Hiroshi. Sunhwa joined Drs. Anjana Rao lab at the Harvard Medical School in 2004 and Michael Karin lab at the University of California, San Diego in 2005 for her postdoctoral trainings where she investigated epigenetic regulations in T cells and the pathologic roles of inflammation and immunology in tumor progression and metastasis. Sunhwa was the recipient of Human Frontier Scientific program, NCI cancer therapeutics training program, and NIH/NCI F32-NRSA fellowship during her trainings. Sunhwa is an author of >20 of peer-reviewed publications in high impact journals such as Nature, Science, and Developmental Cell. In past over 10 years, Sunhwa has investigated her scientific curiosities in dysregulated immunity, inflammation and fibrosis in drug discovery settings at Janssen pharmaceuticals, a part of Johnson and Johnson; InterMune, a part of Roche/ Genentech; Gilead, and now she is working at Merck Research Laboratory. Sunhwa has been playing key roles in different stages in drug discovery and development such as new target identification, validation; hit/lead identification; new indication mapping for drugs in clinic and biomarker identification. Sunhwa was also a part of discovery team for Pirfenidone, the first approved drug in IPF. Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a debilitating and fatal interstitial lung disease. It causes permanent scarring of the lungs, difficulty breathing and decreases the amount of oxygen the lungs can supply to major organs of the body. The median survival after diagnosis is 2-4 years, which is lower than that reported for many common cancers. Extensive preclinical investigation and numerous clinical trials in past several decades have shed light on the IPF disease etiology and pathophysiology. The discouraging clinical outcomes with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents have shifted the paradigm of IPF disease pathogenesis from active inflammatory condition to primarily fibrotic condition, led by continuous alveolar epithelial cell injury and aberrant wound healing, resulting in excess accumulation of extracellular matrix/ scar. Importantly, two treatments have been approved for the treatment of IPF, i.e., pirfenidone and nintedanib, in several years ago. The real-world data have proven the benefits of pirfenidone and nintedanib in slowing the progression of the diseases by improving the decline in forced volume capacity, measuring the lung function. However, limited benefits were seen in survival, acute exacerbation, pulmonary hypertension, and established/ progress in fibrosis. Here, I will discuss the emerging therapeutic opportunities in IPF by reviewing IPF disease pathogenesis and market landscape.
A-3: Strategies to tackle emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases
Ji-Young Min, GlaxoSmithKline
Biography Ji-Young Min, Ph.D. is currently the Director and the global project head for new vaccines at GSK. She leads cross-functional teams to drive project strategy and collaborate effectively with internal and external stakeholders. Her responsibility includes managing all aspects of vaccine project from research to launch. She obtained her doctorate degree and prost-doctoral training from the University of Texas at Austin while studying on the influenza virus and its mechanism to evade the host anti-viral responses under the direction of Dr. Robert Krug. In 2008, she joined the laboratory led by Dr. Kanta Subbarao at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and her research interest focused on the generation of live attenuated reassortant influenza vaccine candidates against avian influenza viruses that have pandemic potential and evaluation of these vaccines in preclinical studies and clinical trials. She then joined the Institute Pasteur in Korea (IPK) to head the Respiratory Viruses Research group focusing on the development of novel small molecules with universal antiviral efficacy. Her group have developed cell based phenotypic high-throughput screening assays and broad spectrum of virological tools and techniques are used to dissect the

mechanism of action and to identify the target. In addition, she took a leadership role to coordinate the Asian Influenza Initiative in Southeast Asia, an initiative that drives basic research, antiviral therapy & diagnostic developments, and surveillance through collaboration of excellent scientists outside and within the Institute Pasteur network. She has a proven record for creative research and directing diverse collaborative teams. Managed multiple complex collaborations and provide strategic and technical advice to improve project outcomes. Multi-task oriented with demonstrated abilities to organize, mentor staff, and make prioritization decisions. Her professional interests include understanding the role of antibodies, supporting the development of efficacious vaccines and therapies against infectious, chronic diseases and cancer with a keen interest to establish global portfolio to have timely public-health impact. Abstract Vector-borne diseases are human illnesses caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites that are transmitted by mosquitoes, sandflies, ticks, lice, mites etc. It represents a major public health problem due to globalization and propagation of susceptible vectors worldwide. Of all disease-transmitting insects, the mosquito is the greatest threat, spreading malaria, dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, and Zika, which together are responsible for several millions of deaths and hundreds of millions of cases every year. There are no licensed vaccines against most of these viruses, and vaccine development and use has been complicated by the number of different viruses to protect against, by subtype and strain variation, and by the inability to predict when and where outbreaks will occur. A new approach to preventing arboviral diseases is suggested by the observation that arthropod saliva facilitates transmission of pathogens, including leishmania parasites, Borrelia burgdorferi, and some arboviruses. In this talk, we will discuss on the recent advancements in understanding the roles of arthropod saliva in arthropod borne infections and explore the potential modulatory impact of mosquito salivary proteins on alphavirus pathogenesis. In addition, the potential use of mosquito salivary proteins as therapeutic or vaccine targets for controlling mosquito-borne alphavirus diseases is highlighted.

development
Hyunjin (Gene) Shin, Takeda Pharmaceuticals
Biography Dr. Hyunjin (Gene) Shin is a principal scientist in the Translational Bioinformatics/Computational Biology Group at Takeda Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Dr. Shin is a genomics expert in many disease areas including oncology. He currently leads a number of preclinical and clinical projects related to biomarker identification and predictive modeling for patient stratification/precision medicine. Recently, he has been working on reverse translational research by applying natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning (DL) to real-world evidence data such as electronic medical record (EMR). As to his education and training background, Dr. Shin received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering at Seoul National University, Korea in 1998. He completed M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin with research of biomedical engineering and biomedical informatics in 2001 and 2006, respectively. In 2007, Dr. Shin joined Dr. X. Shirley Liu’s lab in Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts as a postdoctoral research fellow. The main research topics of the time period were the revelation of epigenetic and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in carcinogenesis and cell development by analyzing next-generation sequencing data such as ChIP-Seq and RNASeq. After his postdoctoral training, he joined Takeda Pharmaceuticals in 2011, and since then he has been working as a leading computational biologist and data scientist at the organization, supporting many translational research projects. Abstract Data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence have recently attracted attention of the pharmaceutical science community due to their potential to extract information of high utility from notoriously complex biomedical and chemical data. However, we have yet heard many success stories of such new technologies that can make real

contributions to more effective therapeutic development. In my presentation, I will help the audience better understand the basic concepts of machine learning, particularly deep learning based artificial intelligence. Then, I will introduce the current progress being made by those revolutionary methods in the pharmaceutical and biomedical sectors. Finally, I will discuss how we are able to proactively as well as practically prepare for the future of drug discovery and development using these powerful data science tools.
B-2: Clinical Perspectives of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and The Application of Machine Learning in AML
Therapy
Janghee Woo, Novartis
Biography Dr. Janghee Woo is a clinical program leader at Novartis Institute for BioMedical Research, and clinical assistant professor at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. He recently moved from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) and University of Washington (UW), where he was an attending physician in hematologic malignancy clinic and blood/marrow transplant center. He obtained Ph.D. at Harvard University in 2011 after having received an MD degree at Seoul National University in 2004. After completing Ph.D. training in developmental biology and genetics under the mentorship of Drs. Gary Gilliland and Ramesh Shivdasani, he completed a residency in Internal Medicine at Albert Einstein Medical Center in 2014, followed by Hematology/Oncology fellowship at FHCRC/UW in 2016. His research focused on improving molecular understanding of hematologic malignancy, in particular, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). He is currently leading malignant hematology programs in early development at Novartis. He was an NCI Paul Calabresi Scholar and a CTI Endowed Fellow at FHCRC and a recipient of the Celgene Hematology Award. Abstract Cancers are genetically heterogeneous diseases in which mapping of clinical behavior is imperfectly aligned with specific mutations. Advances in bioinformatics and computing power provide new opportunities to characterize such features and thus identify higher-risk patients. I will discuss new employment of machine learning in mutation analysis, unsupervised learning in whole-genome or -exome sequencing data from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This approach allowed us to identify a subset of high-risk patients more likely to fail to respond to induction chemotherapy and have more reduced survival. Feature selection via supervised learning discovered critical mutations differentiating the risk groups and to develop a clinically applicable algorithm to identify high-risk patients. I will further discuss molecular pathways deregulated in the high-risk group of patients and the potential benefits and rationale of combined therapy with novel targeted agents. This approach taking advantage of machine learning could improve clinical outcomes in patients with intermediate-risk AML by avoiding sole use of conventional induction chemotherapy in patients with a high risk of response failure.
B-3: Gene Therapy in The Eye
Jenny JiYun Song, pH Pharma
Biography Jenny JiYun Song, Ph.D. is currently the Preclinical Ophthalmology Lead in pH-Pharma, Co., Ltd., a biotechnology company with its focus on Glaucoma, NASH and ADC. She obtained her doctoral degree from KAIST while working on her research projects under Dr. Dae-Sik Lim. She was the recipient of Overseas Research Support for the Next Generation Scientists fellowship and Overseas Training Program fellowship during her training. She joined Dr. Jean Bennett’s lab at the University of Pennsylvania] for her postdoctoral training in ophthalmology gene therapy, where she investigated proof-of-concept study for LCA5, an early onset congenital disease due to a Lebercilin gene defect. She played a leading role in developing rAAV-mediated LCA5 gene therapy drug into clinical stages, which led to the successful establishment of a partnership with Foundation Fighting Blindness. She then joined Spark Therapeutics in 2017 as a preclinical scientist working on new programs as well as post-approval drug, Luxturna, the first gene therapy drug approved by FDA. She recently joined to pH-Pharma as an ophthalmology lead to establish new ophthalmology programs including gene therapy program and to manage non-clinical studies. She serves as a

13 |P a g e 2 0 1 9 K A S B P F a l l S y m p o s i u m
product development consultant of the PEX1 gene therapy project for the teams in McGill University who has the support from AmorChem and GFPD. Abstract Ever since rAAV-mediated gene therapeutic approach opened a door to the patients who used to have no cure for their inherited visual disorders, laboratory-based gene therapy technology has evolved continuously. This emerged to clinical application and expanded its application to variety of fields including CAR T-cell therapy. Here we revisit the history of retinal gene therapy with the story of Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis and discuss considerations for gene therapy product development. Recently, innovative new drugs from gene and cell therapy area have reported significant progress in their clinical trials for the treatment of AMD, a complex degenerative ophthalmic disease with unmet medical needs. The lessons learned from safety and efficacy trials support a path forward aiming to further trials and finally a new drug registration in the near future.

Pediatric brain tumors are highly associated with epileptic seizures. However, the epileptogenic mechanisms in epilepsy-associated tumors remain unclear. Here, we show that the oncogenic BRAF somatic mutation p.Val600Glu (V600E) in developing neurons underlies intrinsic epileptogenicity in ganglioglioma (GG), one of the leading causes of pediatric intractable epilepsy. To do so, we developed a mouse model harboring the BRAF V600E somatic mutation during early brain development to reflect the most frequent mutation, as well as the origin and timing thereof, in GG. Therein, we noted that BRAF V600E mutation arising in early progenitor cells during embryonic brain development led to the acquisition of intrinsic epileptogenic properties in neuronal lineage cells, whereas tumorigenic properties were attributed to high proliferation of glial lineage cells exhibiting the mutation. RNA-seq analysis of patient brain tissues with the mutation further revealed that BRAF V600E-induced epileptogenesis is mediated by RE1-Silencing Transcription Factor (REST), a regulator of ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors associated with epilepsy. Moreover, we found that seizures in mice were significantly alleviated by an FDA-approved BRAF V600E inhibitor, Vemurafenib, as well as various genetic inhibitions of REST activity. Accordingly, this study provides direct evidence of a BRAF somatic mutation contributing to the intrinsic epileptogenicity in pediatric brain tumors and suggests that BRAF and REST could be treatment targets for intractable epilepsy.
P-2: Functional roles of Sirtuins as metabolic regulator controlling human pluripotent stem cell fate

Metabolic reprogramming from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) toward glycolysis is critical for somatic cell reprogramming of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Although this metabolic reprogramming

appears to be a fundamental aspect of human induced pluripotency and stem cell fate control, the molecular mechanisms underlying the link between energy metabolism and stem cell fate are poorly understood. Here, we found that protein acetylation is a fundamental aspect of stem cell fate control and critically regulate induced pluripotency and metabolic reprogramming. In particular, we report that SIRT1 upregulation and SIRT2 downregulation is a molecular signature of human pluripotent stem cells. In addition, we investigated specific roles that are coordinated by SIRT1 and other sirtuins and their potential downstream targets and regulatory mechanisms underlying metabolic reprogramming. Furthermore, we explored how various microRNAs can regulate sirtuins, leading to metabolic reprogramming and control pluripotent stem cell fate and function. We will discuss our findings regarding potential functional roles of sirtuins and microRNAs as modulators of metabolic reprogramming during human induced pluripotency and pluripotent stem cell function.
P-3: Structural complementarity facilitates E7820-mediated degradation of RBM39 by CRL4DCAF15
Hojong Yoon, Ph.D
Harvard University
The investigational drugs E7820, indisulam and tasisulam (aryl-sulfonamides) promote the degradation of the splicing factor RBM39 in a proteasome and CRL4DCAF15 ubiquitin ligase-dependent mechanism, however the molecular details of this activity remain elusive. Here we present the cryo-EM structure of DDB1-DCAF15-DDA1 bound to RBM39 and E7820 at 4.4 Å resolution, together with crystal structures of engineered subcomplexes. We show that DCAF15 adopts a novel fold stabilized by DDA1, and that extensive protein-protein contacts between the ligase and substrate mitigate the low affinity interaction between aryl-sulfonamides and DCAF15. Our data demonstrates how aryl-sulfonamides neo-functionalize a shallow, non-conserved pocket on DCAF15 to selectively bind and degrade RBM39 and RBM23 without the requirement for a high affinity ligand, which has broad implications for the de novo discovery of molecular glue degraders. P-4: Dimethyl Itaconate Suppresses TLR-mediated Early Inflammatory Response
Jea Hyun Baek, Ph.D
Biogen Inc.
Itaconate is intracellularly derived from cis-aconitate, an intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and is accumulated in activated immune cells (e.g., macrophages) in response to immune activation. Itaconate has recently emerged as an immunomodulatory molecule with high therapeutic potential. However, since the native form of itaconate is cell-impermeable, it is necessary to develop a derivate of itaconate with increased intracellular penetrance without impairing immunosuppressive properties of the native molecule. In particular, dimethyl itaconate (DMI), the methyl ester of itaconic acid, is highlighted as a promising therapeutic. DMI shows a highly electrophilicity, similar to the structurally related dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a leading therapy in psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. In this study, we sought to compare the targets of DMI versus DMF using a proteomic cysteine-reactivity profiling in non-immune cells and analyze the impact of DMI on immune signaling pathways. Especially, we were interested in investigating whether DMI and DMF target the glycolytic metabolism in non-immune cells as DMF was reported to bind to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in activated macrophages. In our study, we found that DMI and DMF suppress toll-like receptor (TLR) 3-mediated nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-B) signaling pathways, not altering immunometabolism. P-5: Bile acid metabolites control Th17 and Treg cell differentiation
Donggi Paik, Ph.D
Harvard Medical School
Bile acids are abundant in the mammalian gut where they undergo bacteria-mediated transformation, generating a large pool of bioactive molecules. Although bile acids are known to affect host metabolism, cancer progression and innate immunity, it is unknown whether they affect adaptive immune cells such as T helper cells expressing IL-17a (Th17 cells) and regulatory T cells (Tregs). By screening a library of bile acid metabolites, we identified two distinct derivatives of lithocholic acid (LCA), 3-oxoLCA and isoalloLCA, as T cell regulators. 3-oxoLCA inhibited Th17 cell differentiation by directly binding to its key transcription factor RORγt (retinoid-related orphan receptor γt) and
2019 KASBP Fall Symposium Program
16 |P a g e 2 0 1 9 K A S B P F a l l S y m p o s i u m
isoalloLCA enhanced Treg differentiation through the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitoROS), leading to increased FoxP3 expression. IsoalloLCA-mediated Treg enhancement required an intronic FoxP3 enhancer, the conserved noncoding sequence 3 (CNS3), a distinct mode of action from previously-identified Treg enhancing metabolites that require CNS11,2. Administration of 3-oxoLCA and isoalloLCA to mice reduced Th17 and increased Treg cell differentiation in the intestinal lamina propria. Our data suggest novel mechanisms by which bile acid metabolites control host immune responses by directly modulating the Th17 and Treg balance.
P-6: Fyn kinase Dependent Tyrosine Phosphorylation of APP-βCTF Regulates vATPase-mediated Lysosomal
Acidification
Eunju Im, Ph.D
Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatry Research
Early appearing, progressive lysosomal dysfunction is a prominent pathophysiological feature in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), linked to major causative and risk genes for AD and diverse aspects of AD pathology, including neurodegeneration. Elevation of beta-secretase C-terminal fragment of amyloid precursor protein (APP-βCTF) disrupt lysosomal acidification in Down Syndrome (DS) is relevant to sporadic AD. Here, we investigated how APP influences lysosomal function and the underlying mechanism(s) in lysosomes from human DS fibroblasts and DS mouse brain as well as early-onset AD mouse model. In control, APP-βCTF traffics to lysosomes where it interacts selectively with specific subunits of the lysosomal vATPase complex controlling association of the V0/V1 sectors of the complex which regulates activity and luminal acidification. At elevated levels, APP-βCTF competes with these subunits for complex assembly, lowering their levels on lysosomes and promoting dissociation of the V0/V1 sectors, which results in pH elevation. It is controlled by Fyn kinase dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of APP-βCTF. Multiple distinct effects of aberrant APP-βCTF signaling on endosomal-lysosomal function are likely primary contributors to AD pathogenesis, underscoring the close relationship between the major AD-related genes and early endosomal-lysosomal pathway dysfunction.
P-7: IL-33 nuclear regulation promotes immunosuppressive function for cancer development in chronic
inflammation
Jongho Park, Ph.D
Massachusetts General Hospital
Interleukin (IL)-33 is a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines that promotes Th2 response in lymphocytes and activates both mast cells and eosinophils via its receptor, Interleukin 1 receptor-like 1 (IL1RL1 or ST2). Although the participation of IL-33 in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases has become increasingly evident, the source of IL-33 remains elusive. In contrast to other members of this cytokine family, IL-33 is mainly produced by epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Interestingly, IL-33 has a Nuclear Localization Sequence (NLS), and it is localized in the nucleus of epithelial cells during steady state condition. In addition, IL-33 has been shown to act as a transcriptional repressor. However, the collective impact of IL-33, as a cytokine and a nuclear factor, on cancer remains uncertain. Herein, we demonstrate that IL-33 is highly expressed in the nucleus of skin keratinocytes and pancreas epithelial cells in chronic inflammation and induces cancer development in these organs. We found that nuclear function of IL-33 was responsible for the tumor promoting impact of IL-33, which related to its direct regulation of TGF-β signaling, that drive a severe immunosuppression in the epithelial cells. Considering that IL-33 is highly expressed in epithelial cancer cells and their perilesional tissues in humans, our findings highlight the importance of blocking IL-33 expression instead of its cytokine function alone and will have a direct impact on cancer immunotherapy, especially in cancers associated with an immunosuppressed “cold” microenvironment. P-8: Arterial baroreceptors sense blood pressure through decorated aortic claws Soohong Min, Ph.D

Mechanosensory neurons across physiological systems sense force using diverse terminal morphologies. Arterial baroreceptors are sensory neurons that monitor blood pressure for real-time stabilization of cardiovascular output.

Various aortic sensory terminals have been described, but those that sense blood pressure are unclear due to a lack of selective genetic tools. Here, we find that all baroreceptor neurons are marked in Piezo2-ires-Cre mice, and then use genetic approaches to visualize the architecture of mechanosensory endings. Cre-guided ablation of vagal and glossopharyngeal PIEZO2 neurons eliminates the baroreceptor reflex, and aortic depressor nerve effects on blood pressure and heart rate. Genetic mapping reveals that PIEZO2 neurons form a distinctive mechanosensory structure: macroscopic claws that surround the aortic arch and exude fine end-net endings. Other arterial sensory neurons that form flower spray terminals are dispensable for baroreception. Together, these findings provide structural insights into how blood pressure is sensed in the aortic vessel wall.
P-9: Chemical-genetic interactions of essential Mycobacterium tuberculosis systems
Eun-Ik Koh, Ph.D
University of Massachusetts Medical School
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases in human history. Approximately a third of the world’s population has been exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of TB, with more than 1 million deaths annually. TB must be treated with combinations of antibiotics to minimize the emergence of resistance but despite this complex regimen, TB cure requires months of therapy and multiple drug resistant (MDR) strains continue to emerge. Therefore new strategies are needed to both accelerate cure and treat MDR infections. The requirement for multi-drug therapy represents both a limitation and an opportunity. While combining agents can dramatically increase efficacy, predicting which potential new drugs will produce a synergistic effect in the relevant environmental conditions remains a challenge. Here we utilize conditional Mtb mutants of essential genes to investigate antibiotic-genetic interactions that occur during infection and compare with relevant in vitro conditions such as different carbon sources. Mice were infected with pooled libraries of conditional mutants and subsequently treated with different antibiotics. Novel synergistic interactions were identified compared to untreated controls with hypomorphs of genes associated with multiple pathways including cell wall biosynthesis, metabolism and translation. Synergies found in vivo were also identified in vitro in both carbon source independent and dependent manner, with specific synergies found during cholesterol and fatty acid growth conditions. As the availability of different carbon sources dramatically influences Mtb metabolism and physiology, synergies observed in specific carbon sources may suggest novel metabolic roles for corresponding genes and pathways. Furthermore, synergies with mutants associated with essential amino acid biosynthesis pathways were reversed upon supplementation with corresponding metabolites, suggesting depletion of specific amino acid pools alters the efficacy of antibiotics. By creating an atlas of chemical-genetic interactions of essential genes in different in vivo and in vitro conditions, we can identify new synergies that can be exploited for drug development as well as predict conditions that reflect different infection environments.
P-10: Cyclophilin A protects HIV-1 from restriction by human TRIM5α
Kyusik Kim, Ph.D Student
University of Massachusetts Medical School
The abundant cellular protein Cyclophilin A (CypA) was found to bind to HIV-1 capsid (CA) in 1993. Disruption of the CA−CypA interaction decreases HIV-1 infectivity in human cells but stimulates infectivity in non-human primate cells. Genetic and biochemical data suggest that CypA protects HIV-1 from a CA-specific restriction factor in human cells. Discovery of the CA-specific restriction factor tripartite-containing motif 5α (TRIM5α) and multiple, independently derived, TRIM5−CypA fusion genes pointed to human TRIM5α being the CypA-sensitive restriction factor. However, using human cancer cell lines, attempts to obtain evidence that CypA inhibits HIV-1 restriction by the human TRIM5α, let alone that human TRIM5α restricts HIV-1, were unsuccessful. We decided to revisit the question of the mechanism by which CypA increases HIV-1 infectivity by exploiting lentiviral vectors optimized for primary human blood cells. We have now confirmed that disruption of the CA-CypA interaction decreases HIV-1 infectivity in primary human blood cells. The HIV-1 infectivity recovered when TRIM5α was knocked down. Rescue of the TRIM5α knockdown by expression of a non-targetable, human TRIM5α cDNA restored the restriction activity. Furthermore, endogenous TRIM5α associated with virion cores as they entered the cytoplasm, but only when the CA−CypA interaction was disrupted. These experiments resolve the long-standing mystery of the

role of CypA in HIV-1 replication by demonstrating that this ubiquitous cellular protein shields HIV-1 from previously inapparent restriction by human TRIM5α. These results also indicate that non-immunosuppressive CypA inhibitors have the potential to make an important contribution to anti-HIV-1 drug cocktails, by rendering HIV-1 susceptible to the potent antiviral activity of TRIM5α. P-11 Mechanisms underlying synergy of DNA Topoisomerase I and mTOR kinase co-inhibition in malignant
peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs)
Dong Hyuk Ki, Ph.D
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Background: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are very aggressive and metastatic soft tissue sarcomas. MPNSTs frequently arise in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) which is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene. Since NF1 contains a small region of homology to the Ras GAP protein, NF1-loss results in aberrant activation of Ras signaling and predisposes NF1 patients to a variety of cancers, including MPNSTs. Most of MPNSTs are unresectable at diagnosis and minimally responsive to conventional treatment. Therefore, identification of new genetic dependencies and drugs with anti-tumor activity will be critical to advance MPNST therapy. Methods: To identify effective compounds, we examined a series of candidate agents for their ability to induce apoptosis in MPNST cells arising in nf1/tp53-deficient zebrafish. The compounds showing drug response in the embryonic implantation assay were evaluated by various experimental methods in human NF1-associated and sporadic MPNST cell lines. Results: After testing a series of drugs, we found that DNA topoisomerase I-targeted drugs and mTOR kinase inhibitors were the most effective single agents in eliminating MPNST cells without prohibitive toxicity. In addition, three members of these classes of drugs, either AZD2014 or INK128 in combination with irinotecan, acted synergistically to induce apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. In mechanistic studies, irinotecan not only induces apoptosis by eliciting a DNA damage response, but also acts synergistically with AZD2014 to potentiate the hypophosphorylation of 4E-BP1, a downstream target of mTORC1. Profound hypophosphorylation of 4E-BP1 induced by this drug combination causes an arrest of protein synthesis, which potently induces tumor cell apoptosis. Depletion of 4E-BP1 in NF1-associated MPNST cells abolished the synergy between DNA topoisomerase I-targeted drugs and mTOR kinase inhibitors in killing MPNST cells, establishing cooperative effects driving 4E-BP1 hypophosphorylation as the mechanism of synergy. Conclusions: The synergy between DNA topoisomerase I-targeted drugs and mTOR kinase inhibitors in our MPNST model appears to be mediated through the mTORC1/4E-BP1 signaling pathway, which regulates the translation of cap-dependent RNAs. Our findings provide a compelling rationale for further in vivo evaluation of the combination of DNA topoisomerase I-targeted drugs and mTOR kinase inhibitors against these aggressive nerve sheath tumors.
P-12: Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS)-mediated resistance against apoptotic cell death is crucial
to lung fibrosis in mice
Sang-Hun Kim, Ph.D
Yale school of medicine
Mitochondrial Antiviral Signaling protein (MAVS) functions as a key platform molecule that mediates damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)-induced innate immune responses. DAMPs signaling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of fibrosis, a common pathologic consequence of various chronic disorders such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Our understanding of its underlying mechanism, however, remains poor. How MAVS may function to modulate DAMPs signaling and the consequent fibrosis, in particular, has not been explored yet. Here, we demonstrate that MAVS plays a crucial role in the induction of HMGB1, NLRP3 and cGAS-STING pathways, respectively, and the resultant experimental pulmonary fibrosis after bleomycin-induced injury in vivo, a mammalian model of IPF. Notably, multimeric STING aggregation is significantly attenuated via a MAVS-dependent manner. Mechanistic studies using in vivo as well as in vitro studies reveal that MAVS imposes resistance against apoptotic cell death while facilitates necroptotic cell death. Intriguingly, RIP1/RIP3 hetero-amyloid complex is formed via a

19 |P a g e 2 0 1 9 K A S B P F a l l S y m p o s i u m
MAVS-dependent manner in vivo. In accordance with this, a combined treatment with necroptosis inhibitor (necrostatin-1) and apoptosis inducer (ABT-263), which recapitulates cell death-related molecular events occurring in MAVS deficiency, synergistically ameliorates lung fibrosis in our IPF modeling. Importantly, persistent MAVS aggregation, a key event of MAVS signaling activation, is observed in lungs from the patients with IPF as well as in mice. In conclusion, MAVS may play an important role in the pathogenesis of IPF and targeting MAVS or its signaling may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for IPF, a major unmet medical need. P-13: Muscle cell-autonomous disease-causing effects of low Survival Motor Neuron protein
Jeong-Ki Kim, Ph.D
Columbia University
Paucity of the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) protein results in the common, frequently fatal infantile-onset motor neuron disorder, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Augmenting the protein is being pursued as a means to a treatment for the disease and recently led to FDA approval of an intrathecally delivered SMN-enhancing oligonucleotide currently in use. Notwithstanding the advent of this and other novel therapeutic options for SMA patients, it is unclear whether the paralysis associated with the disease derives solely from dysfunction of motor neurons and can therefore be entirely precluded following restricted restoration of SMN to the nervous system, or stems from broader defects of the motor unit, arguing for systemic repletion of the protein. To investigate the disease-contributing effects of low SMN in one relevant peripheral organ – skeletal muscle – we used model mice to selectively deplete the protein in just this tissue. We show that muscle deprived of SMN is profoundly damaged. While a disease phenotype may not be immediately obvious, persistent low levels of the protein eventually result in muscle fiber defects, neuromuscular junction abnormalities, compromised motor performance and premature death. Importantly, restoring SMN protein levels following the onset of muscle pathology reverses disease. Our results provide the most compelling evidence yet for a direct contributing role of muscle in SMA and argue that an optimal therapy for the disease must be designed to treat this aspect of the dysfunctional motor unit. P-14: SEPHS2 is essential to prevent selenium poisoning during selenocysteine biosynthesis in cancer cells
Namgyu Lee, Ph.D
University of Massachusetts Medical School
Metabolic enzymes are recognized for the products they form, but the significance of their roles in removing toxic substrates in cancer cells is unclear. Through a focused genetic screen for enzymes that may play roles in preventing toxic metabolite accumulation, we identified SEPHS2, a step in the pathway that metabolizes selenium to form the amino acid selenocysteine, a required residue in selenoproteins. SEPHS2 is essential to the survival of a subset of cancer cells including breast and glioma cells, but dispensable to a wide panel of nontransformed cells. Surprisingly, selenocysteine production itself is not essential for cell survival - nontransformed cells can tolerate knockout of SEPHS2 indefinitely despite having lost all capacity to produce selenoproteins. However, due to a novel function of the cysteine/glutamate antiporter SLC7A11 in promoting selenium uptake and selenocysteine biosynthesis, many cancer cells are ‘selenophilic’ and are acutely dependent on SEPHS2 to process and thus prevent accumulation of selenide, a toxic intermediate in the pathway. As SEPHS2 is itself a selenoprotein, we find that SEPHS2 expression is induced by excess selenium, thereby matching detoxification capacity to selenium supply. Accordingly, SEPHS2 mRNA and protein levels are elevated in human breast cancer patient samples and disruption of SEPHS2 impairs growth of orthotopic mammary tumor xenografts. Thus, the toxicity of selenium is dependent on its conversion to selenide, and SEPHS2 is a selective therapeutic target to induce poisoning in cancer cells that have an increased appetite for selenium. P-15: Erosion of the Epigenetic Landscape and Loss of Cellular Identity as a Cause of Aging in Mammals
Jae-Hyun Yang, Ph.D
Harvard Medical School
All living things experience entropy, manifested as a loss of inherited genetic and epigenetic information over time. As budding yeast cells age, epigenetic changes result in a loss of cell identity and sterility, both hallmarks of yeast aging. In mammals, epigenetic information is also lost over time, but what causes it to be lost and whether it is a

20 |P a g e 2 0 1 9 K A S B P F a l l S y m p o s i u m
cause or a consequence of aging is not known. Here we show that the transient induction of genomic instability, in the form of a low number of non-mutagenic DNA breaks, accelerates many of the chromatin and tissue changes seen during aging, including the erosion of the epigenetic landscape, a loss of cellular identity, advancement of the DNA methylation clock and cellular senescence. These data support a model in which a loss of epigenetic information is a cause of aging in mammals. P-16: Global targeting of functional tyrosines using sulfur triazole exchange chemistry
Heung Sik Hahm, Ph.D
University of Virginia
Covalent probes serve as valuable tools for global investigation of protein function and ligand binding capacity. Despite efforts to expand coverage of residues available for chemical proteomics (e.g. cysteine and lysine), a large fraction of the proteome remains inaccessible with current activity-based probes. Here, we introduce sulfur-triazole exchange (SuTEx) chemistry as a tunable platform for developing covalent probes with broad applications for chemical proteomics. We show modifications to the triazole leaving group can furnish sulfonyl probes with ~5-fold enhanced chemoselectivity for tyrosines over other nucleophilic amino acids to investigate, for the first time, more than 10,000 tyrosine sites in lysates and live cells. We discovered tyrosines with enhanced nucleophilicity are enriched in enzymatic, protein-protein interaction, and nucleotide recognition domains. We apply SuTEx as a chemical phosphoproteomics strategy to monitor activation of phosphotyrosine sites. Collectively, we describe SuTEx as a biocompatible chemistry for chemical biology investigations of the human proteome. P-17: Role of the Gut Microbiota in Regulating Responses to anti-PD-1 Cancer Immunotherapy
Joon Seok Park, Ph.D
Harvard Medical School
The human gut is colonized by 100 trillion bacteria collectively referred to as the gut microbiota, which plays an essential role in health and disease. Commensalism in the gut has been suggested to influence many aspects of human health and diseases. It is now widely accepted that gut commensal microbes have a crucial impact on immune homeostasis in the gut. Emerging evidence suggest that the gut microbiota shapes systemic immunity, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Recent reports from other groups and our preliminary findings indicate that the gut microbiome and its composition are important factors that determine responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade 1-3. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are novel therapeutic interventions which reinvigorate tumor-specific T cells to attack tumor cells by targeting co-inhibitory pathways in T cells, such as PD-1:PD-L1 and CTLA-4. Despite the clinical success of these checkpoint blockade immunotherapies, a significant fraction of patients do not respond to the checkpoint inhibitors 4. Recent studies showed that one of the critical determinants of responsiveness to checkpoint blockade may be the composition of the gut microbiome. However, how the gut microbiota modulates systemic immune responses to tumor is not known. We aim to determine mechanisms by which the gut microbiome regulates anti-tumor immunity and response to PD-L1 blockade. Using gnotobiotic techniques and antibiotics, we identified human gut microbes that promote tumor clearance upon PD-L1 blocking antibody treatment. Furthermore, colonization of germ-free mice with the healthy human microbiota or our bacterial isolates induces significant changes in the adaptive immune system, suggesting potential cellular and molecular mechanisms of gut microbiota dependent anti-tumor immunity. Finally, we are further investigating the role of microbial products from the gut in regulating anti-tumor immunity. This study provides critical insights into mechanisms by which the gut microbiota regulates anti-tumor immunity, and new therapeutic strategies for patients who do not respond to PD-1 pathway blockade. P-18: Developmental programming of long-term immunity of CD8 T cells by perinatal glucocorticoid
Jun Young Hong, Ph.D

Stress has been associated with various types of diseases including cancer. It was suggested that
compromised anti-tumor immunity is often responsible for tumor progression during stress, which is caused by immunosuppressive glucocorticoid (GC), a stress hormone, and sympathetic nervous system activation. Perinatal

21 |P a g e 2 0 1 9 K A S B P F a l l S y m p o s i u m
period is critical for immunity as the first major contact with the environment is made and this interaction can shape the immune system development. Epidemiologic studies found that early-life exposure to specific environment may have life-long impact on immunity, affecting the development of immune-related diseases such as inflammatory diseases, metabolic diseases, allergic diseases as well as cancer. Nevertheless, it is still largely unknown whether developmental programming of immunity exists due to the lack of mechanistic understanding on this subject.
Since most of the early environmental factors that are reported to cause later-life development of diseases are associated with stress, we adopted a model to directly test the effect of stress hormone. We introduced the in vivo mouse model of perinatal glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation via dexamethasone (DEX) treatment in drinking water perinatally (embryonic day 7.5-postnatal day 1). Then, we analyzed the T cell immunity when the offspring became mature. We found that perinatal GC exposure elicited diminished CD8 T cell response in adulthood. As a result, mice with perinatal GC treatment showed insufficient anti-tumor and anti-bacterial CD8 T cell responses, being susceptible to immunogenic tumor development and Listeria infection. We found significantly reduced systemic levels of corticosterone (CORT) in the adult mice with perinatal GC exposure. Deficiency of GR signaling in CD8 T cells with adrenalectomy or with genetic deletion of GR in T cells was sufficient to reduce CD8 T cell response. Inhibition of GR signaling in CD8 T cells acted primarily on CD25 signaling and mTOR pathway, resulting in decreased effector function and survival. Finally, we found the negative feedback threshold of HPA axis is altered by having enhanced mineralocorticoid receptor (MR; type I corticosteroid receptor) expression in the hippocampus and paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVH) with perinatal GC exposure. Our study shows that perinatal stress may have long-term consequences on CD8 T cell immunity by altering HPA axis threshold, thereby increasing predisposition to cancer and bacterial infection.
These results showed that perinatal GC exposure persistently programed the threshold for hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis for regulating endogenous GC level, and that reduced systemic GC level elicited repressed CD8 T cell activation and survival, leading to tumor susceptibility.
P-19: Prioritizing SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) Set by Joint Model Selection
Juhyun Kim, Ph.D Student
UCLA
Improved personalized treatments are key to improving health care. In spite of dramatic developments in both pharmacogenomic knowledge and the techniques used to perform pharmacogenomic studies, multiple challenges still exist that slow the translation of pharmacogenomic discoveries from "bench to bedside."Variation in response to drug therapies results not only from gene sequence variation, ultimately resulting in differences in mRNA and protein expression, but also other patient characteristics such as clinical and environmental factors. However, few statistical methods exist to maximize use of the extensive genomic data and prior biological knowledge in order to unravel the etiology of complex drug-response phenotypes. We proposed to develop innovative statistical analytical tools and supporting software to integrate prior biological knowledge, such as function or known relationship between genes, with genomic data that will facilitate the generation of novel pharmacogenomic hypotheses. Rare genetic variants are thought to be the key to elucidating the genetic architecture of common diseases and complex traits. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) set analysis aggregates both common and rare variants and tests for association between a phenotype of interest and a set. However, multiple genes, pathways, or sliding windows are usually investigated across the whole genome, in which all groups are tested separately followed by multiple testing adjustment. We propose a minorization-maximization (MM) algorithm that selects relevant variance components to prioritize SNP sets. It is achieved by incorporating penalties, including lasso, adaptive lasso, and minimax concave penalty (MCP). Simulation studies demonstrate the superiority of our methods in model selection performance, compared to the traditional marginal testing methods. We apply our method to a real Merck pharmacogenomics study. P-20: Tissue-restricted Genome Editing in vivo Specified by MicroRNA-repressible Anti-CRISPR Proteins

CRISPR-Cas systems are bacterial adaptive immune pathways that have revolutionized biotechnology and biomedical applications. Despite the potential for human therapeutic development, there are many hurdles that
2019 KASBP Fall Symposium Program
22 |P a g e 2 0 1 9 K A S B P F a l l S y m p o s i u m
must be overcome before its use in clinical settings. Some clinical safety concerns arise from editing activity in unintended cell types or tissues upon in vivo delivery [e.g. by adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors]. Although tissue-specific promoters and serotypes with tissue tropisms can be used, suitably compact promoters are not always available for desired cell types, and AAV tissue tropism specificities are not absolute. To reinforce tissue-specific editing, we exploited anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs) that have evolved as natural countermeasures against CRISPR immunity. To inhibit Cas9 in all ancillary tissues without compromising editing in the target tissue, we established a flexible platform in which an Acr transgene is repressed by endogenous, tissue-specific microRNAs (miRNAs). We demonstrate that miRNAs regulate the expression of an Acr transgene bearing miRNA-binding sites in its 3’ UTR and control subsequent genome editing outcomes in a cell-type specific manner. We also show that the strategy is applicable to multiple Cas9 orthologs and their respective anti-CRISPRs. Furthermore, we validate this approach in vivo by demonstrating that AAV9 delivery of Nme2Cas9, along with an AcrIIC3Nme construct that is targeted for repression by liver-specific miR-122, allows editing in the liver while repressing editing in an unintended tissue (heart muscle) in adult mice. This strategy provides safeguards against off-tissue genome editing by confining Cas9 activity to selected cell types. P-21: Multiple negative transcriptional regulators can fine-tune actively transcribed genes
Mijeong Kim, Ph.D Student
The University of Texas at Austin
Global gene expression helps determine cellular identity and function. Dysregulation of gene expression contributes to numerous diseases including developmental disorders and cancers; thus, cells must tightly regulate gene expression to maintain homeostasis. Gene regulation occurs at multiple levels, notably via interplay between cis-regulatory elements (such as enhancers and promoters) and trans-acting factors like transcription factors (TFs). In the past, transcriptional regulation was thought of as an “on and off” process in which the binding of repressors to a gene’s regulatory elements was considered evidence of the total suppression of the gene. However, recent groups have observed that highly transcribed genes are occupied by both activators and repressors, leading to a more nuanced view that co-occupancy by both types of regulators allows fine-tuning of gene expression to optimal levels. For example, co-repressors such as histone deacetylases (HDACs) paradoxically occupy many actively transcribed genes in embryonic stem (ES) cells in concert with histone acetyltransferases like p300. Such fine-tuning is necessary, as ES cell core factors like Oct4 must be precisely controlled to maintain cell identity; elevated levels of Oct4 lead to premature loss of stemness in ES. Oct4 and other core factors activate themselves in a positive feedback loop, and a select few repressors like Tgif1 and Tcf3 have been shown to restrain this feedback loop. However, whether other such repressors exist, the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms of these repressors, and their roles in other cell types like cancer cells remain relatively unknown. In this study, we use ES cells as a model system and seek to identify TFs that play a role as transcriptional fine-tuners that can counterbalance actively transcribed genes to prevent the overwhelming activation of genes. To identify negative regulators that can calibrate the proper level of gene expression, we analyzed several data sets, including genome-wide RNAi screening using Oct4-GFP reporter, expression profiles of time-course differentiation of ES cells, and global protein-DNA interaction mapping of ES cell core TFs. Through integrative analysis with these data, we finalized the top 5 candidate factors (Gli1, Med26, Taf6, Etv4, and Rbpj). Most of these factors are associated with prenatal lethality in mice upon knockout, highlighting their biological significance. We confirmed that overexpression of the 5 factors in mouse ES cells decreased expression of ES cell core TFs, whereas the knockdown of the factors increased the levels of the core TFs, suggesting they can repress the activities of the core factors. Among the factors, Taf6, Etv4, Rbpj, and Med26 can directly bind the cis-regulatory element of core TFs. Gli1 and Rbpj physically interact with the ES cell core TFs and HDACs. These data collectively imply that the 5 factors bind ES cell core TFs and may recruit co-repressor such as HDACs to counterbalance the core TFs. In summary, we identified multiple transcriptional repressors that can fine-tune the expression levels of actively transcribed genes. This study provides a new insight into transcriptional regulation and potential therapeutic targets for diseases caused by the deregulation of gene expression programs.
P-22: Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl Substituted Isogemichalcone B and C Analogs

Aromatase, a member of the cytochrome P450 family of enzymes, catalyzes the aromatization of androgen precursors, androstenedione and testosterone, to provide estrogen. Estrogen is responsible for the proper growth of tissues and bones. However, in post-menopausal women, production and storage of estrogen is downregulated, increasing the risk of breast cancer. The aromatization step is a key focal point that can be regulated to lower the risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women. As part of a natural product screening effort, Kinghorn et al. discovered moderate aromatase inhibiting ability of Isogemichalcone B and C, metabolites isolated from the flowering weeds Hypercum geminiflorum and the mulberry tree Broussonetia papyrifera1. The completed total synthesis of Isogemichalcone B and C provided a variety of possible analogs with structure-activity relationships2. The focus of this work was to synthesize the trifluoromethyl substituted analogs of Isogemichalcone B and C. This involves use of key reactions explored in the synthesis of the original Isogemichalcone B and C, including the Stille cross-coupling, Claisen-Schmidt condensation, and Mitsunobu coupling. The trifluoromethyl substituted analog of Isogemichalcone B and C was synthesized in an overall 8.5% yield and 6.5% yield respectively.
P-23: Fusobacterium nucleatum promotes colorectal cancer by inducing Wnt/β-catenin modulator Annexin A1
Jung Eun Baik, Ph.D.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Fusobacterium nucleatum, a Gram-negative oral anaerobe, is a significant contributor to colorectal cancer. Using an in vitro cancer progression model, we discover that F. nucleatum stimulates the growth of colorectal cancer cells without affecting the pre-cancerous adenoma cells. Annexin A1, a previously unrecognized modulator of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, is a key component through which F. nucleatum exerts its stimulatory effect. It is specifically expressed in proliferating colorectal cancer cells and involved in activation of cyclin D1. Annexin A1 expression level in colon cancer is a predictor of poor prognosis independent of cancer stage, grade, age and sex. The FadA adhesin from F. nucleatum up-regulates Annexin A1 expression through E-cadherin. A positive feedback loop between FadA and Annexin A1 is identified in the cancerous cells, absent in the non-cancerous cells. We therefore propose a “two-hit” model in colorectal carcinogenesis, with somatic mutation(s) as the first hit, and F. nucleatum as the second hit exacerbating cancer progression after benign cells become cancerous. This model extends the “adenoma-carcinoma” model and identifies microbes such as F. nucleatum as cancer “facilitators”.
