More Info:

Biological target: UNC0642 is a potent, selective inhibitor of histone methyltransferases G9a/GLP with IC50s less than 2.5 nM for G9a and GLP and shows more than 300-fold selective for G9a and GLP over a broad range of kinases, GPCRs, transporters, and ion channels.
In vitro activity: UNC0642 is a novel inhibitor of G9a with high cellular potency and excellent selectivity in various cancer cell lines (Fig. 4a) and thus, was chosen for further targeting of G9a of UBC cells. UNC0642 was applied at different concentrations (ranging from 0 to 20 µM) to three human UBC cell lines (T24, J82, and 5637) for 72 h and it was found that UNC0642 reduced cell viability of all three lines in a dose-dependent manner based on an SRB assay (Fig. 4b). The IC50 values of UNC0642 in T24, J82, and 5637 cells were 9.85 ± 0.41 μM, 13.15 ± 1.72 μM, and 9.57 ± 0.37 μM, respectively. Western blotting analysis validated the specific decrease in the global level of histone H3K9me2 with UNC0642 treatment (Fig. 4c). A stable G9a-knockdown T24 cell line (shG9a) was constructed as a control to test whether pharmacological inhibition of G9a by UNC0642 was specific (Fig. S2a). It was found that T24 mock cells (shCTL) were more sensitive to UNC0642 than T24 shG9a cells (Fig. S2b), indicating that cell death induced by UNC0642 was partially dependent on G9a activity. To examine whether UNC0642 could induce apoptosis, Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining of UBC cell lines treated with UNC0642 was carried out (Fig. 5a). Flow cytometry analysis showed that the ratio of apoptotic cells was increased in a dose-dependent manner in three UBC cell lines (Fig. 5b). The expression levels of apoptosis markers, such as cleaved Caspase-3 and cleaved PARP, were consistently raised in UBC cells upon UNC0642 treatment according to western blotting analysis (Fig. 5c). Meanwhile, it was examined whether the expression of apoptosis-related genes, including Bim, Ampkα2, and ELL2, was also affected by UNC0642 treatment. The results revealed that the mRNA levels of the Ampkα2, ELL2, and Bim genes were upregulated in T24 cells treated with UNC0642 at concentrations of 10 μM and 20 μM (Fig. 5d), consistent with the siG9a treatment results (Fig. 3c). These results indicate that targeting of G9a with UNC0642 reduces cell viability and induces apoptosis in UBC cells.

In vivo activity: To test the in vivo effects of G9a inhibition, J82 cells were subcutaneously injected into nude mice. One week after xenografts became palpable, UNC0642 (5 mg/kg) was administered via i.p. injection every other day for 11 days. UNC0642 inhibited tumor growth during the treatment window (P < 0.05; Fig. 6a) without a significant effect on body weight compared with the vehicle-treated group (Fig. 6b). At the endpoint of the experiment, xenografts were harvested, weighed, and processed for further IHC study. The average tumor weight in the UNC0642 group (1.15 g) was approximately half of that in the vehicle treatment group (2.30 g, P < 0.05; Fig. 6c, d). Moreover, IHC staining demonstrated that UNC0642 treatment strikingly decreased the histone H3K9me2 level in the nuclei of cancer cells in J82 xenografts (Fig. 6e). Ki67 (cell proliferation marker)-positive staining and cleaved Caspase 3 (apoptosis marker)-positive staining in cells were quantified (Fig. 6f, g). Targeting of G9a in vivo reduced cell proliferation (from 61.73% in the vehicle group to 22.20% in the UNC0642 group; P < 0.01) and induced apoptosis (from 0.36% in the vehicle group to 4.89% in the UNC0642 group; P < 0.05). In addition, the level of the proapoptotic protein BIM was increased in the UNC0642 treatment group, consistent with the in vitro data (Fig. 6h). Thus, targeting of G9a with UNC0642 suppressed UBC tumor growth and induced apoptosis in vivo.
