| Summary assay for the identification of compounds that inhibit NOD1 - BioAssay Summary The modulation of immune response activity is one of the major goals in the development of novel therapeutics for auto-immune and inflammatory diseases. The innate system resides at the intersection of the pathways of microbial recognition, inflammation, and cell death, thereby offering various therapeutic targets. In this context, NOD1 and NOD2 are of particular interest, since they recognize distinct structures derived from bacterial peptidoglycans and directly activate NF-kB, a central regulator of immune response, inflammation, and apoptosis. ..more |

Reed, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, San Diego, CA The modulation of immune response activity is one of the major goals in the development of novel therapeutics for auto-immune and inflammatory diseases. The innate system resides at the intersection of the pathways of microbial recognition, inflammation, and cell death, thereby offering various therapeutic targets. In this context, NOD1 and NOD2 are of particular interest, since they recognize distinct structures derived from bacterial peptidoglycans and directly activate NF-kB, a central regulator of immune response, inflammation, and apoptosis. Mutations in the NOD1 and NOD2 genes are associated with a number of human inflammatory disorders, including Crohn's disease (CD), Blau syndrome, early-onset sarcoidosis, and atopic diseases, which characteristically cause constitutive NF-kB activation. Chemical inhibitors of NOD1 and NOD2 would provide powerful research tools for elucidating the roles of these proteins in primary cultured cells from humans and in animal models. The main objective of this study was to identify small molecule inhibitors of NF-kappaB activity induced by NOD1. This was achieved by generating and validating a cell-based, Luciferase reporter gene assay for use in high throughput screening (HTS) to identify small molecule inhibitors of NOD1-dependent NF-kappaB activation (AID 1578). Various downstream counter-screens and secondary assays were employed to further characterize the selectivity of the hits, setting the stage for subsequent structure activity relationship (SAR) studies which led to the optimization of the chemical probes. The first probe molecule CID1088438(ML130) selectively (> 40-fold) inhibits NOD1 dependent activation of NF-kB pathways as ascertained through gamma-tri-DAP stimulated luciferase signaling in a NF-kB-linked reporter assay in HEK293T cells containing endogenous NOD1 levels (AID 2333) with sub-micromolar potency (0.52 microM IC50), while not inhibiting MDP stimulated (NOD2- dependent) signaling in reporter cell lines containing both low (AID 2334) and, in earlier iterations, over-expressed (AID 1566) NOD2 proteins. The probe molecule is selective over the non-NOD stimulated pathways (TNFalpha stimulation) of NF-kB in these reporter assays (AID 2337). The probe does not appear to be cytotoxic at the concentrations tested (AID 2335). Furthermore, the probe molecule appears to selectively inhibit a biologically relevant terminal effect of NOD1 (gamma-tri-DAP) dependent NF-kB activation (AID 2250), namely IL-8 secretion, but not NOD2 (MDP) dependent (AID 2260), nor TNFalpha-dependent (AID 2245) IL-8 secretion in MCF-7 cells, as determined by IL-8 ELISA assays of cell culture supernatants. Finally, selectivity assays suggest that the probe inhibits a NOD1 (gamma-tri-DAP) dependent pathway to NF-kB activation (AID 2264) and is inactive in both PMA-induced (AID 2261) and doxorubicin-induced (AID 2255) NF-kB activation models. The second probe molecule CID5310346(ML146) selectively (> 8-fold) inhibits NOD1 dependent activation of NF-kB pathways as ascertained through gamma-tri-DAP stimulated luciferase signaling in a NF-kB-linked reporter assay in HEK293T cells containing endogenous NOD1 levels with submicromolar potency (1.54 uM IC50), while not inhibiting MDP stimulated (NOD2-dependent) signaling in both reporter cell lines containing both low (AID 2334) and, in earlier iterations, over-expressed (AID 1566) NOD2 proteins. The probe molecule is also selective over the non-NOD stimulated pathways (TNFalpha stimulation) of NF-kB in these reporter assays (AID 2337). While this probe is not as potent or selective as our first probe, CID1088438, it does meet probe criteria and represents a second bonafide scaffold for a NOD1 selective probe. The probe does not appear to be cytotoxic at the concentrations tested (AID 2335). Furthermore, the probe molecule appears to selectively inhibit a biologically relevant terminal effect of NOD1 (gamma-tri-DAP) dependent NF-kB activation (AID 2505), namely IL-8 secretion, but not NOD2 (MDP) dependent (AID 2503), nor TNFalpha-dependent (AID 2504) IL-8 secretion in MCF-7 cells, as determined by IL-8 ELISA assays of cell culture supernatants. Finally, selectivity assays suggest that the probe inhibits a NOD1 (gamma-tri-DAP) dependent pathway to NF-kB activation (AID 2793) and is inactive in both PMA-induced (AID 2792) and doxorubicin-induced (AID 2789) NF-kB activation models.
