There is an unmet need to identify novel targets that can sensitize temozolomide (TMZ) or prevent resistance in GBM. We have demonstrated that retinoblastoma binding protein 4 (RBBP4) interacts with p300 to modulate expression of genes involved in homologous recombination (HR), including RAD51. In vitro, RBBP4- or p300-shRNA significantly sensitized TMZ in patient derived xenograft (PDX) GBM43 cells (relative fluorescence for 100µM TMZ treated control shNT cells was 0.89 ± 0.1 vs 0.47± 0.09 and 0.39 ± 0.01 for shRBBP4 and shp300, respectively (p&amp;lt; 0.01)). TMZ sensitization increased DNA damage signaling through phosphorylation of KAP1 (p-KAP1) and p-CHK1. Moreover, RBBP4- or p300-shRNA delayed the repair of TMZ-induced DSBs evidenced by persistent gH2AX. Silencing RBBP4 or p300 reduced acetylation of lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27Ac) within promoters of HR genes regulated by RBBP4/p300 complex. Thus, RBBP4/p300 complex controls gene expression through p300-mediated histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity, suggesting that p300 inhibitors could sensitize GBM to TMZ. Accordingly, CBP/p300 inhibitor CPI1612 significantly suppressed H3K27Ac and HR repair genes, including RAD51. Moreover, CPI1612 sensitized TMZ in GBM43 (synergy score = 258), and TMZ/CPI1612 significantly suppressed growth of GBM39 PDX cells compared with either drug alone (confluence (%) was 92 ± 1.0 (DMSO), 76.5 ± 4.6 (10 µM TMZ), 62 ± 3.4 (10 nM CPI1612) and 21.9 ± 3.2 (TMZ 10 µM/CPI-CPI1612 10 nM). CPI1612 enhanced TMZ-induced DSBs with increased damage signaling through p- KAP1 and persistent gH2AX. Pharmacodynamics studies in GBM39 orthotopic mice models revealed that oral CPI1612 penetrates the brain and accumulate in tumor regions and suppresses H3K27Ac without significant weight loss in mice that received placebo, TMZ, CPI1612 alone or combined TMZ/CPI-1612, demonstrating good animal tolerability. Collectively, these findings are encouraging that CBP/p300 inhibition by the brain penetrant CPI-1612 is a potential strategy for enhancing the efficacy of TMZ in GBM.
