Herein we reported the discovery and biological evaluation of a potent small molecule CRM1 inhibitor, LFS-1107. We validated that CRM1 is a major cellular target of LFS-1107 by biolayer interferometry assay (BLI) and the knockdown of CRM1 conferred tumor cells with resistance to LFS-1107.
We found that LFS-1107 can strongly suppresses the growth of ENKTL cells at low-range nanomolar concentration yet with minimal effects on human platelets and healthy peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Treatment of ENKTL cells with LFS-1107 resulted in the nuclear retention of IkBα and consequent strong suppression of NF-κB transcriptional activities, NF-κB target genes downregulation and attenuated tumor cell growth and proliferation. Furthermore, LFS-1107 exhibited potent activities when administered to immunodeficient mice engrafted with human ENKTL cells.
Therefore, LFS-1107 holds great promise for the treatment of ENKTL and may warrant translation for use in clinical trials.

方法:本文报道了一种有效的小分子CRM1抑制剂的发现和生物学评价,LFS-1107.我们通过生物层干涉测定法(BLI)验证了CRM1是LFS-1107的主要细胞靶标,并且CRM1的敲低使肿瘤细胞对LFS-1107具有抗性。
结果:我们发现LFS-1107可以在低范围纳摩尔浓度下强烈抑制ENKTL细胞的生长,但对人血小板和健康外周血单核细胞的影响最小。用LFS-1107处理ENKTL细胞导致IkBa的核保留,并因此强烈抑制NF-kB转录活性,NF-kB靶基因下调并减弱肿瘤细胞的生长和增殖。此外,LFS-1107在施用于移植了人ENKTL细胞的免疫缺陷小鼠时表现出有效的活性。
结论:因此,LFS-1107对ENKTL的治疗具有很大的希望,并且可能需要在临床试验中使用翻译。
