45 NOVEL HYBRID OF HYDROXYUREA AND THALIDOMIDE BASED PHARMACOPHORES INDUCE FETAL HEMOGLOBIN AND BLOCK MONOCYTE ACTIVATION

46 Thalidomide Thalidomide and its recently developed IMiD (immunoodulatory derivates of thalidomide) derivatives (such as pomalidomide and lenalidomide) potently inhibit cytokine release from activated monocytes and suppress adhesion molecule expression on vascular endothelium; These properties are critically linked to the phthalimide ring in the thalidomide molecule.

47 Molecular Hybridization Hydroxyurea Thalidomide Molecular Hybridization Nitric oxide Spacer

48 Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a novel hybrid compound Lapdesf 1 (2-[4-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2Hisoindol-2-yl)phenyl]ethyl nitrate) on γ-globin gene expression in cells culture, fetal hemoglobin levels in sickle cell transgenic mice and cytokine release from activated monocytes.

Results K562 Cell Culture Human K562 cells were maintained in DMEM with 10% FBS, Pen/Strep, in humidified air (5% CO 2, 37 C). -globin gene expression was analyzed by qrt-pcr and quantified using the Gnorm program. -globin gene expression (U.A.)

52 Monocyte stimulation Levels of pro-inflammatory mediators determined by ELISA in the supernatant of mononuclear culture from sickle cell transgenic mice treated with LPS and co-incubated with test drugs (24H). Dexamethasone (1µM) was used a positive anti-inflammatory control (A) TNF-α. (B) IL-1β. (C) IL-6. (D) KC. n 5, * P<0.05, compared to LPS.

53 Santos J.et al:j.med.chem,2011 Our results support the hypothesis that Lapdesf 1 can augment HbF synthesis. In addition, this compound has the ability to inhibit TNF-α production and other inflammatory cytokines and could help reduce chronic inflammation in sickle-cell patients, thus reducing or preventing clinical complications associated with SCD. These data suggest that Lapdesf 1 represents a novel drug worthy of additional study for SCD and β thalassemia and perhaps certain other diseases associated with chronic inflammation.

56 HEREDITARY PERSISTENCE OF FETAL HEMOGLOBIN

57 Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Hemoglobin (HPFH) HPFH is a genetic disorder that results in the increased levels of fetal hemoglobin in adult life. Types: deletional - involving the beta globin gene cluster (dhpfh) non-deletional point mutations in the gamma globin gene promoter (ndhpfh) (Forget, 1998; Steinberg et al., 2001).

62 BCL11A Transcriptional repressor of HbF production; Contributes to HbF silencing in primary human erythroid cells; Regulator of globin switching in development. AIMS Investigate the contribution of BCL11A to -silencing in adults through conditional inactivation of this gene in mice carrying the human -globin gene cluster.

63 Inactivation of BCL11A rescues sickle cell defects in humanized SCD mice. Representative blood smears of control, SCD, and SCD/Bcl11a / mice are shown at 1000x magnification.

64 Conclusion The correction of SCD in mice by genetic manipulation of a single component involved in globin gene regulation constitutes a requisite step in translating new insights in HbF silencing into mechanism-based, improved therapy for the major hemoglobin disorders.

65 Summary Vascular inflammatory molecule production may contribute to vaso-occlusion in SCD, by activating the endothelium and blood cells; Approaches to reduce vascular inflammation should be further investigated; Inhibition of leukocyte adhesion to the vessel wall may be an important approach for the prevention of sickle cell vaso-occlusion; - STATINS - Selectin Inhibitors (GMI-1070)

66 Summary HU may have important HbF-independent effects that could play a role in the prevention of leukocyte adhesion and vaso-occlusion; Drugs that amplify the cgmp-dependent effects of HU should be further studied; Inhibition of the PDE9 enzyme may represent a relatively tissue-specific drug target in SCD, with potential for increasing both HbF production and decreasing leukocyte adhesion
