RESUMO
Indolent CD4+ cytotoxic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell lymphoma involving the small intestine was diagnosed in a patient who had previously received ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) CAR T-cell therapy for treatment of myeloma. Targeted messenger RNA sequencing revealed the presence of CAR gene product in tumor cells. Whole-genome sequencing of samples of tumor and peripheral blood identified a single lentiviral insertion site within the second intron of the SSU72 gene. In addition, numerous genetic alterations that may have contributed to malignant transformation were identified in the tumor sample. (Funded by MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.).

Lysine specific demethylase-1 (LSD1) serves as a regulator of transcription and represents a promising epigenetic target for anticancer treatment. LSD1 inhibitors are in clinical trials for the treatment of Ewing's sarcoma (EWS), acute myeloid leukemia, and small cell lung cancer, and the development of robust inhibitors requires accurate methods for probing demethylation, potency, and selectivity. Here, the inhibition kinetics on the H3K4me2 peptide and nucleosome substrates was examined, comparing the rates of demethylation in the presence of reversible [CC-90011 (PD) and SP-2577 (SD)] and irreversible [ORY-1001 (ID) and tranylcypromine (TCP)] inhibitors. Inhibitors were also subject to viability studies in three human cell lines and Western blot assays to monitor H3K4me2 nucleosome levels in EWS (TC-32) cells, enabling a correlation of drug potency, inhibition in vitro, and cell-based studies. For example, SP-2577, a drug in clinical trials for EWS, inhibits activity on small peptide substrates (Ki = 60 ± 20 nM) using an indirect coupled assay but does not inhibit demethylation on H3K4me2 peptides or nucleosomes using direct Western blot approaches. In addition, the drug has no effect on H3K4me2 levels in TC-32 cells. These data show that SP-2577 is not an LSD1 enzyme inhibitor, although the drug may function independent of demethylation due to its cytotoxic selectivity in TC-32 cells. Taken together, this work highlights the pitfalls of using coupled assays to ascribe a drug's mode of action, emphasizes the use of physiologically relevant substrates in epigenetic drug targeting strategies, and provides insight into the development of substrate-selective inhibitors of LSD1.
