Abstract

Recently protein kinases have emerged as some of the most promising drug targets; and therefore, pharmaceutical strategies have been developed to inhibit kinases in the treatment of a variety of diseases. CK2 is a serine/threonine-protein kinase that has been implicated in a number of cellular processes, including maintenance of cell viability, protection of cells from apoptosis, and tumorigenesis. Elevated CK2 activity has been established in a number of cancers where it was shown to promote tumorigenesis via the regulation of the activity of various oncogenes and tumor suppressor proteins. Consequently the development of CK2 inhibitors has been ongoing in preclinical studies, resulting in the generation of a number of CK2-directed compounds. In the present study, an unbiased evaluation of CK2 inhibitors 4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-1H-benzotriazole (TBB), 4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-1H-benzimidazole (TBBz), and 2-dimethylamino-4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-1H-benzimidazole (DMAT) was carried out to elucidate the mechanism of action as well as inhibitor specificity of these compounds. Utilizing a chemoproteomics approach in conjunction with inhibitor-resistant mutant studies, CK2α and CK2α′ were identified as bona fide targets of TBB, TBBz, and DMAT in cells. However, inhibitor-specific cellular effects were observed indicating that the structurally related compounds had unique biological properties, suggesting differences in inhibitor specificity. Rescue experiments utilizing inhibitor-resistant CK2 mutants were unable to rescue the apoptosis associated with TBBz and DMAT treatment, suggesting the inhibitors had off-target effects. Exploitation of an unbiased chemoproteomics approach revealed a number of putative off-target inhibitor interactions, including the discovery of a novel TBBz and DMAT (but not TBB) target, the detoxification enzyme quinone reductase 2 (QR2). The results described in the present study provide insight into the molecular mechanism of action of the inhibitors as well as drug specificity that will assist in the development of more specific next generation CK2 inhibitors.

Targeting protein kinases for therapeutic applications has become a rapidly evolving field with a number of successful inhibitors in clinical studies or approved for treatment of various cancers. Loss of regulation of protein kinase activity has been identified as a key event in the development of cancer and has therefore become an avenue of intense research. Specifically the success of targeted therapies such as Gleevec (imatinib) for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia has provided a model for the development of novel inhibitors targeting a wide variety of protein kinases (1Jabbour E. Cortes J.E. Giles F.J. O'Brien S. Kantarjian H.M. Current and emerging treatment options in chronic myeloid leukemia.Cancer. 2007; 109: 2171-2181Crossref PubMed Scopus (107) Google Scholar). Recently protein kinases have emerged as some of the most promising drug targets, representing as much as 20% of the “druggable” genome (2Hopkins A.L. Groom C.R. The druggable genome.Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 2002; 1: 727-730Crossref PubMed Scopus (2655) Google Scholar, 3Pagano M.A. Cesaro L. Meggio F. Pinna L.A. Protein kinase CK2: a newcomer in the ‘druggable kinome'.Biochem. Soc. Trans. 2006; 34: 1303-1306Crossref PubMed Scopus (63) Google Scholar). Ongoing preclinical studies targeting serine/threonine kinases have been carried out demonstrating the potential of kinase inhibitors as anticancer therapeutics, including the study of protein kinase CK2. CK2 (formally known as casein kinase II) is a ubiquitously distributed, constitutively active serine/threonine kinase implicated in multiple cellular processes, including cell survival, protection of cells from apoptosis, and tumorigenesis (4Litchfield D.W. Protein kinase CK2: structure, regulation and role in cellular decisions of life and death.Biochem. J. 2003; 369: 1-15Crossref PubMed Scopus (1038) Google Scholar). Elevated CK2 activity has been documented in a number of cancers where high CK2 activity has been correlated with aggressive tumor behavior (5Faust R.A. Tawfic S. Davis A.T. Bubash K. Ahmed K. Antisense oligonucleotides against protein kinase CK2-α inhibit growth of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck in vitro.Head Neck. 2000; 22: 341-346Crossref PubMed Scopus (77) Google Scholar). Detailed studies have been carried out to elucidate the molecular mechanism of CK2 in tumorigenesis, demonstrating that increased CK2 activity promotes a number of pathways participating in the development of cancer (6Daya-Makin M. Sanghera J.S. Mogentale T. Lipp M. Parchomchuk J. Hogg J. Pelech S. Activation of a tumour-associated protein kinase (p40TAK) and casein kinase II in human squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas of the lung.Cancer Res. 1994; 54: 2262-2268PubMed Google Scholar, 7Landesman-Bollag E.

Proposed modes of action of CK2 in tumorigenesis are through the regulation of key oncogenes and tumor suppressor proteins within various prosurvival pathways including the Wnt (8Song D.H. Dominguez I. Mizuno J. Kaut M. Mohr S.C. Seldin D.C. CK2 phosphorylation of the armadillo repeat region of β-catenin potentiates Wnt signaling.J. Biol. Chem. 2003; 278: 24018-24025Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (142) Google Scholar), nuclear factor-κB (9Barroga C.F. Stevenson J.F. Schwarz E.M. Verma I.M. Constitutive phosphorylation of I kappa B alpha by casein kinase II.Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1995; 92: 7637-7641Crossref PubMed Scopus (140) Google Scholar), and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways (10Di Maira G. Salvi M. Arrigoni G. Marin O. Sarno S. Brustolon F. Pinna L.A. Ruzzene M. Protein kinase CK2 phosphorylates and upregulates Akt/PKB.Cell Death Differ. 2005; 12: 668-677Crossref PubMed Scopus (269) Google Scholar). Regulation of oncogene and tumor suppressor proteins by CK2 phosphorylation has been shown to influence susceptibility to proteosome degradation, protect proteins from caspase-mediated cleavage, and alter the protein activity (11Duncan J.S. Litchfield D.W. Too much of a good thing: the role of protein kinase CK2 in tumorigenesis and prospects for therapeutic inhibition of CK2.Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 2008; 1784: 33-47Crossref PubMed Scopus (268) Google Scholar). Taken together, elevated CK2 activity promotes a prosurvival signal in cancer by facilitating the transcription, activation, or stability of oncogenes and antiapoptotic proteins while repressing tumor suppressor activity through increased proteosome degradation.
