OGDH and Bcl-xL loss causes synthetic lethality in glioblastoma. (PubMed, JCI Insight)
In patient-derived xenograft models of GBM in mice, the combination treatment of ABT263 and CPI-613 suppressed tumor growth and extended animal survival more potently than each compound on its own. Therefore, combined inhibition of Bcl-xL along with interference of the TCA-cycle might be a treatment strategy for GBM.

Inducing Melanoma Cell Apoptosis by ERp57/PDIA3 Antibody in the Presence of CPI-613 and Hydroxychloroquine. (PubMed, J Cancer)
siRNA-mediated downregulation of ERp57/PDIA3 did not significantly induce ICT-mediated apoptosis in melanoma cells in the presence of CPI-613 and hydroxychloroquine. Therefore, the ICT antibody acts as a tumor suppressor in melanoma cells by targeting the cell membrane ERp57/PDIA3, expression of which was enhanced by the combination of CPI-613 and hydroxychloroquine.

Combined inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 and lactate dehydrogenase a induces metabolic and signaling reprogramming and enhances lung adenocarcinoma cell killing. (PubMed, Cancer Lett)
These effects were related to modulation of multiple cell signaling pathways, including AMPK, RAS/ERK, and AKT/mTOR. Our findings demonstrate that simultaneous inhibition of multiple glycolytic enzymes (PDK1 and LDHA) is a promising novel therapeutic approach for LUAD.

Comparison of survival for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients treated with CPI-613 versus resected borderline-resectable pancreatic cancer patients. (PubMed, J Surg Oncol)
The first study to evaluate the survival between metastatic patients treated with CPI-613 versus borderline-resectable cases undergoing curative resection. Analysis revealed no significant differences in survival outcomes between the cohorts. Study results are suggestive that there may be potential utility with the addition of CPI-613 to potentially resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma, although additional research with more comparable study groups are required.

Immunostimulation with chemotherapy of a ruthenium-arene complex via blockading CD47 signal in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells. (PubMed, J Inorg Biochem)
In this work, we conjugated CPI-alkyne modified by Devimistat (CPI-613) with ruthenium-arene azide precursor Ru-N by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction to construct Ru complex CPI-Ru...Moreover, CPI-Ru could significantly downregulate the expression of CD47 on the surface of K562 accompanied by the enhanced immune response by targeting the blockade of CD47. This work provides a new strategy for utilizing metal-based anticancer agents to block CD47 signal to achieve chemoimmunotherapy in chronic myeloid leukemia treatment.

Targeting citric acid cycle anaplerosis reverses the immunosuppressive phenotype of CD11b+Gr1+ myeloid cells in ovarian cancer (AACR 2023)
As a result, DLST targeting of aberrant glutamine metabolism will have the dual benefit of reducing CD11b+Gr1+ cell-mediated immunosuppression while also directly inhibiting tumor growth. Thus CPI-613 represents an attractive drug to target glutamine addiction and reduce immunosuppressive environment plaguing ovarian cancer.

Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Inhibition Leads to Decreased Glycolysis, Increased Reliance on Gluconeogenesis and Alternative Sources of Acetyl-CoA in Acute Myeloid Leukemia. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Both devimistat-treated and PDHA knockout cells displayed increased sensitivity to 2-deoxyglucose, demonstrating reliance on residual glycolysis. Taken together, this suggests that AML cells compensate for PDH and glycolysis inhibition by gluconeogenesis for maintenance of essential glycolytic intermediates and fatty acid oxidation, ACLY and ACSS2 for non-glycolytic production of acetyl-CoA. Strategies to target these escape pathways should be explored in AML.

Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing of 245 Tumor Samples from Patients with MGUS and Smoldering Multiple Myeloma Reveals Novel Insights into Malignant Plasma Cell Biology (ASH 2022)
Discussion In conclusion, by leveraging the largest single-cell RNA-sequencing cohort of bone marrow samples from patients with MGUS and SMM, we uncovered novel insights into plasma cell malignancy, as well as differences in gene expression dysregulation between disease stages. Observations gleaned from this dataset could be used to nominate novel targets and prioritize target validation for the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment or prevention of MM.
