ln Vitro |
Tumour oncogenes include transcription factors that co-opt the general transcriptional machinery to sustain the oncogenic state, but direct pharmacological inhibition of transcription factors has so far proven difficult. However, the transcriptional machinery contains various enzymatic cofactors that can be targeted for the development of new therapeutic candidates, including cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Here we present the discovery and characterization of a covalent CDK7 inhibitor, THZ1, which has the unprecedented ability to target a remote cysteine residue located outside of the canonical kinase domain, providing an unanticipated means of achieving selectivity for CDK7. Cancer cell-line profiling indicates that a subset of cancer cell lines, including human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL), have exceptional sensitivity to THZ1. Genome-wide analysis in Jurkat T-ALL cells shows that THZ1 disproportionally affects transcription of RUNX1 and suggests that sensitivity to THZ1 may be due to vulnerability conferred by the RUNX1 super-enhancer and the key role of RUNX1 in the core transcriptional regulatory circuitry of these tumour cells. Pharmacological modulation of CDK7 kinase activity may thus provide an approach to identify and treat tumour types that are dependent on transcription for maintenance of the oncogenic state [1].

Enzyme Assay |
Inhibitor treatment experiments [1]
Time-course experiments such as those described in Extended Data Fig. 5a were conducted to determine the minimal time required for full inactivation of CDK7. Cells were treated with THZ1, THZ1-R, or DMSO for 0–6 hrs to assess the effect of time on the THZ1 –mediated inhibition of RNAPII CTD phosphorylation. For subsequent experiments cells were treated with compounds for 4 hrs as determined by time-course experiment described above, unless otherwise noted. For inhibitor washout experiments (Fig. 2e, f; Extended Data Fig. 5) cells were treated with THZ1, THZ1-R, or DMSO for 4 hrs. Medium containing inhibitors was subsequently removed to effectively ‘washout’ the compound and the cells were allowed to grow in the absence of inhibitor. For each experiment, lysates were probed for RNAPII CTD phosphorylation and other specified proteins. |
Cell Assay |
High-throughput cell line panel viability assay [1]
Cells were seeded in 384-well microplates at ~15% confluency in medium with 5% FBS and penicillin/streptavidin. Cells were treated with THZ1 or DMSO for 72 hrs and cell viability was determined using resazurin. Cell proliferation assays [2] After virus infection and selection with puromycin, cells were seeded in 12-well plates (at the density of 5 × 103) in 1 ml medium. 14 days later, cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde for 15 minutes, and stained with crystal violet (0.05%, wt/vol), a chromatin-binding cytochemical stain for 15 minutes. The plates were washed extensively in plenty of deionized water, dried upsidedown on filter paper, and imaged with Epson scanner. For the 3-day cell proliferation assay in 96-well plate, cells were plated at the density of 6000 to 10,000 cells per well and treated with THZ1 or YKL-1–116 of various concentrations on the next day. After 72 hr incubation, CellTiter-Glo reagent was added to cells directly and luminescent signal was read on a plate reader |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
