Abstract

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare and intractable disorder characterized by extraskeletal bone formation through endochondral ossification. FOP patients harbor gain-of-function mutations in ACVR1 (FOP-ACVR1), a type I receptor for bone morphogenetic proteins. Despite numerous studies, no drugs have been approved for FOP. Here, we developed a high-throughput screening (HTS) system focused on the constitutive activation of FOP-ACVR1 by utilizing a chondrogenic ATDC5 cell line that stably expresses FOP-ACVR1. After HTS of 5,000 small-molecule compounds, we identified two hit compounds that are effective at suppressing the enhanced chondrogenesis of FOP patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (FOP-iPSCs) and suppressed the heterotopic ossification (HO) of multiple model mice, including FOP-ACVR1 transgenic mice and HO model mice utilizing FOP-iPSCs. Furthermore, we revealed that one of the hit compounds is an mTOR signaling modulator that indirectly inhibits mTOR signaling. Our results demonstrate that these hit compounds could contribute to future drug repositioning and the mechanistic analysis of mTOR signaling.

摘要

进行性骨化性纤维发育不良(FOP)是一种罕见且难以治疗的疾病,其特征是通过软骨内成骨形成异位骨。FOP 患者携带 ACVR1(FOP-ACVR1)功能获得性突变,该基因是骨形态发生蛋白的 I 型受体。尽管进行了大量研究,但仍没有批准用于 FOP 的药物。在这里,我们开发了一种针对 FOP-ACVR1 组成性激活的高通量筛选(HTS)系统,该系统利用稳定表达 FOP-ACVR1 的软骨细胞系 ATDC5。在对 5000 种小分子化合物进行 HTS 后,我们鉴定出两种有效抑制 FOP 患者来源诱导多能干细胞(FOP-iPSC)增强软骨生成的有效化合物,并抑制多种模型小鼠的异位骨形成(HO),包括 FOP-ACVR1 转基因小鼠和利用 FOP-iPSC 建立的 HO 模型小鼠。此外,我们还揭示了其中一种有效化合物是一种 mTOR 信号通路调节剂,可间接抑制 mTOR 信号通路。我们的研究结果表明,这些有效化合物可能有助于未来药物重新定位和 mTOR 信号通路的机制分析。
