      Research Interests

      Identifying mechanisms critical to the development and sustentation of cancers is necessary for developing targeted therapies. To this end, we have uncovered novel mechanisms in the p53 pathway, tyrosine receptor kinase signaling pathways, and discovered the dual oncogenic and tumor suppressive functions of the RNA binding protein hnRNP K (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K). Through proof-of-concept studies, we have demonstrated that these genetic alterations offer therapeutic vulnerabilities that are amenable to indirect inhibition and we are now developing pre-clinical therapeutic strategies and novel small molecules to directly inhibit these proteins.


      1. Identification of hnRNP K’s dual tumorsuppressive and oncogenic activities

      Oncogenic Role of hnRNP K:

      My laboratory has worked to determine how expression changes in hnRNP K impact tumor formation. To evaluate the oncogenic activity of hnRNP K, we initially used clinical samples isolated from patients with de novo AML and DLBCL. These studies revealed that overexpression of hnRNP K associates with poor clinical outcomes and treatment failures. To directly examine its role in tumorigenesis, we generated multiple mouse models to examine hnRNP K’s effect on both lymphoid and myeloid malignancies. We generated a novel B-cell specific transgenic mouse model (Eμ-Hnrnpk), and determined that hnRNP K is in fact an oncogene when overexpressed and that this overexpression facilitates malignant phenotypes through activation of the c-Myc pathway. Large scale ‘-omic’ studies, targeted molecular experiments, and pharmacologic studies revealed that hnRNP K has a significant role in protein translation and that the effects of its overexpression is amenable to therapeutic intervention (Gallardo and Malaney, JNCI 2020 and Malaney, Front Immunol 2021).

      To understand how altered hnRNP K expression impacts myeloid biology, we again used large scale unbiased analyses. Here, we observed poor clinical outcomes in AML patients with increased hnRNP K expression. We next generated tissue specific Hnrnpk transgenic (Hnrnpk-Tg) mice and hnRNP K transplantation models that overexpress hnRNP K in the bone marrow compartment. Like the B-cell specific Hnrnpk-transgenic mice, Hnrnpk-Tg mice also developed a highly penetrant cancer phenotype, further indicating hnRNP K acts as an oncoprotein. In addition to changes in c-Myc, changes in hnRNP K expression directly impacted the expression of RUNX1 isoforms (Aitken, NAR Cancer, 2022 and ribosomal function (Aguilar-Garrido P, JCI, 2025) that drive myeloid malignancies.


      Tumorsuppressive Role of hnRNP K:

      Loss of the long arm of chromosome 9 (9q-) is commonly observed in a subset of AML patients, suggesting a tumor suppressor resides within this region. Genetic studies have mapped six candidate genes to a minimally deleted region of 9q21.32. However, the putative tumor suppressor had not been identified. Through data mining, we determined that hnRNP K was a likely candidate. Thus, to precisely determine its role in 9q-dependent AML, my laboratory generated a novel Hnrnpk haploinsufficient mouse model that mimics the genetic loss in some patients with AML. Haploinsufficient Hnrnpk mice have a significant reduction in survival, a highly penetrant malignant phenotype, and a significant expansion of the myeloid compartment. Mechanistically, our data indicated these hnRNP K-dependent phenotypes result from its inability to activate p53-dependent p21 expression and properly regulate expression of C/EBPα and β. These results indicate that hnRNP K is a critical regulator of the p53- and C/EBP- pathways and is in fact the tumor suppressor located at the 9q21.32 locus (Gallardo, Cancer Cell, 2015, Cell Cycle, 2016, Rahn K, Biochim Biophys Acta Gene Regul Mech, 2023).


      Currently, we are pursuing two novel aspects related to the aforementioned overexpression and haploinsufficient studies. The first involves germline loss of function of HNRNPK. A rare HNRNPK-specific loss of function syndrome was recently described in children. This condition, called Au-Kline syndrome, results in devastating developmental and cognitive defects. Importantly, many of the clinical features are observed in our mouse model. Over the past several years, we have worked with Drs. Au and Kline to coordinate our effects to understand the pathways altered by HNRNPK loss. Dr. Au (University of Calgary) and I were awarded a rare disease grant (RRDM) funded through Canadian Agencies. We are evaluating the hnRNP K-dependent molecular pathways related to development.


      The second extension of hnRNP K related research involves direct therapeutic targeting. To accomplish this, we have used fluorescence anisotropy, SPR, CESTA, cellular proliferation assays, and functional readouts to identify 9 “lead compounds” (out of ~80,000) that have the ability to disrupt hnRNP K’s RNA binding functions at concentrations from 0.1-30µM. We are now working with chemists (UT-Austin, Dr. Dalby) and structural biologist (MDACC, Dr. Tainer) to develop more potent analogs. Parts of these studies have been funded through an NCI-R01, LLS-TRP, NIH-SPORE, and various private foundations. Further, we have begun initial steps to patent the use of these compounds.


      2. Alterations in the p53 pathway

      p53 is a well-know tumor suppressor. As such, its role in tumorigenesis has been extensively characterized. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of proteins that regulate p53 activity and thus its responses to various treatments. Over the past several years, we have worked to examine genetic aspects that alter p53 function and predict for varied therapeutic responses. Using a mouse model of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), my laboratory examined how cytotoxic and non-cytotoxic agents impact B-CLL progression when the p53 pathway is ablated (Lee, Blood Can Jour 2016). These studies demonstrated that loss of wild type p53 is not therapeutically dependent. Further, we used animal models and large-scale proteomics to evaluate proteins, protein signatures, and pathways that can predict for therapeutic response (Quintas-Cardama, Leukemia 2017, Post, Oncotarget 2017, Ortiz, Oncogene 2018, and Hoff, Proteomics Clin Appl 2019).


      To expand on these findings, my laboratory is currently developing strategies to induce synthetic lethalities when p53 is lost (17p-). These studies will therapeutically (and genetically) target essential genes lost in conjunction with 17p deletions. Given the dismal prognosis of these patients and the lack of treatment options, these studies may have a tremendous impact on clinical outcomes. Aspects related to this work are currently being considered for funding by the AML-p53-committee of the Break Through Cancer Foundation.


      3. Alterations in receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathways

      Aberrant activation of signaling pathways are a common feature in many malignancies. In AML, receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are often altered, resulting in proliferation and differentiation defects. Furthermore, altered expression of ligands that bind specific receptors also drive tumorigenesis (Ruvolo, BBAMCR 2018 and 2020). We have worked to identify novel alterations and therapeutic vulnerabilities when receptor tyrosine kinases are altered. While a significant amount of attention is paid to FLT3 mutations, other RTKs play significant roles in AML. Over the past several years, we have evaluated the role that AXL plays in AML progression and have investigated the effects of a pre-clinical agent. Using AML cell lines, primary samples, and PDX models, we have determined AXL’s role in proliferation and apoptosis. Most importantly, we have demonstrated the efficacy of an AXL/MERTK-specific inhibitor in AML (Ruvolo, 2017). This compound, Ono-7475, significantly impacted AML cells in vivo and in vitro and is now in clinical trial at MD Anderson.

      We have expanding on this work by examining how relapse/refractory AML responds to Ono-7475 and venetoclax combinations. These studies have demonstrated that AXL inhibition, in combination with venetoclax, triggers apoptosis and inhibits translational programs without stimulating MCL-1 expression (Post, Haematolgica, 2022). Through further funding by Ono Pharmaceutical, we are currently exploring additional molecular mechanisms that drive AXL-mediated AML.


      Clinical Interests

      While not involved in direct patient care, my laboratory is directly involved in correlative and translational aspects of prior and ongoing clinical trials. Our current focus is understanding how activation of the ISR pathway 'primes' AML cells for death. This work (with HiberCell, protocol: 2023-1016) is ongoing. We have submitted a CPRIT clinical trial application for additional funding for a sponsored trial.
