Mechanism Description miR-202 was functioned as a modulator of BAFF expression. miR-202 over-expression sensitized MM cells to bortezomib (Bort) but less to Thalidomide (Thal) and dexamethasone (Dex). miR-202 mimics in combination with Bort inhibited MM cell survival more effectively as compared with Bort treatment alone. Our study also provided experimental evidence that JNk/SAPk signaling pathway was involved in the regulatory effect of miR-202 on drug resistance of MM cells.

Mechanism Description Overexpression of miR324-5p significantly decreased Hh signaling components Smo and Gli1, and functionally reduced cell growth, survival as well as stem cell compartment in MM. miR324-5p potentiated the anti-MM efficacy of bortezomib through regulating the activities of multidrug-resistance proteins and the expression of Bcl-2 family genes. Down-regulation of miR324-5p is a novel mechanism of Hh signaling activation in MM.

Mechanism Description miR-202 was functioned as a modulator of BAFF expression. miR-202 over-expression sensitized MM cells to bortezomib (Bort) but less to Thalidomide (Thal) and dexamethasone (Dex). miR-202 mimics in combination with Bort inhibited MM cell survival more effectively as compared with Bort treatment alone. Our study also provided experimental evidence that JNk/SAPk signaling pathway was involved in the regulatory effect of miR-202 on drug resistance of MM cells.

Mechanism Description This analysis further identified high TRIM44 expression as predictive of lower responsiveness to proteasome inhibitor (PI) treatments, underscoring its critical function in the unfolded protein response (UPR) in TRIM44-high MM cells. Our findings also demonstrate that TRIM44 facilitates SQSTM1 oligomerization under oxidative stress, essential for its phosphorylation and subsequent autophagic degradation. This process supports the survival of PI-resistant MM cells by activating the NRF2 pathway, which is crucial for oxidative stress response and, potentially, other chemotherapy-induced stressors. Additionally, TRIM44 counters the TRIM21-mediated suppression of the antioxidant response, enhancing MM cell survival under oxidative stress.

Mechanism Description Mechanistically, BTZ-resistant cells show increased activity of glutamine-driven TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, together with an increased vulnerability towards ETC inhibition. Moreover, BTZ resistance is accompanied by high levels of the mitochondrial electron carrier CoQ, while the mevalonate pathway inhibitor simvastatin increases cell death and decreases CoQ levels, specifically in BTZ-resistant cells. Both in vitro and in vivo, simvastatin enhances the effect of bortezomib treatment. Our study links CoQ synthesis to drug resistance in MM and provides a novel avenue for improving BTZ responses through statin-induced inhibition of mitochondrial metabolism.

Mechanism Description We found that PYCR1 and PYCR2 mRNA expression correlated with an inferior overall survival. MM cells from relapsed/refractory patients express significantly higher levels of PYCR1 mRNA. In line with the strong expression of PYCR1, we performed a tracer study in RPMI-8226 cells, which revealed an increased conversion of 13C-glutamine to proline in hypoxia. PYCR1 inhibition reduced MM viability and proliferation and increased apoptosis. Mechanistically, we found that PYCR1 silencing reduced protein levels of p-PRAS40, p-mTOR, p-p70, p-S6, p-4EBP1 and p-eIF4E levels, suggesting a decrease in protein synthesis, which we also confirmed in vitro. Pargyline and siPYCR1 increased bortezomib-mediated apoptosis.

Mechanism Description In particular, the dynamic interaction between BM mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) and MM cells has shown great relevance. Here we showed that inhibiting both PKC and NF-kappaB signalling pathways in BM-MSC reduced cell survival in the MM cell line H929 and increased its susceptibility to the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. PKC-mediated cell survival inhibition and bortezomib susceptibility induction were better performed by the chimeric peptide HKPS than by the classical enzastaurin inhibitor, probably due to its greatest ability to inhibit cell adhesion and its increased capability to counteract the NF-kappaB-related signalling molecules increased by the co-cultivation of BM-MSC with H929 cells. Thus, inhibiting two coupled signalling molecules in BM-MSC was more effective in blocking the supportive cues emerging from the mesenchymal stroma.

Thus, inhibiting two coupled signalling molecules in BM-MSC was more effective in blocking the supportive cues emerging from the mesenchymal stroma.

Mechanism Description There was statistical difference in the expression of the aforementioned proteins between the TFptreated group and TFptreated NC-LV group, but the autophagy level was upregulated and apoptosis was downregulated in the TFptreated NUPR1-LV group compared with the TFptreated NC-LV group. NUPR1 overexpression reversed the autophagic suppression and cellular apoptosis induction caused by TFP in U266 and RPMI 8226 cells. Thus, we concluded that TFP targeted NUPR1 in MM cells and subsequently induced apoptosis by inhibiting autophagy.

Mechanism Description Here, we identified adenosine deaminase acting on RNA1 (ADAR1) as a novel driver of lenalidomide resistance in MM. We showed that lenalidomide activates the MDA5-mediated double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-sensing pathway in MM cells, leading to interferon (IFN)-mediated apoptosis, with ADAR1 as the key regulator. Mechanistically, ADAR1 loss increased lenalidomide sensitivity through endogenous dsRNA accumulation, which in turn triggered dsRNA-sensing pathways and enhanced IFN responses. Conversely, ADAR1 overexpression reduced lenalidomide sensitivity, attributed to increased RNA editing frequency, reduced dsRNA accumulation, and suppression of the dsRNA-sensing pathways. In summary, we report the involvement of ADAR1-regulated dsRNA sensing in modulating lenalidomide sensitivity in MM. These findings highlight a novel RNA-related mechanism underlying lenalidomide resistance and underscore the potential of targeting ADAR1 as a novel therapeutic strategy.

Mechanism Description Here, we identified PKCalpha as an epigenetic target that contributes to the oncogenic potential of NSD2. RNA sequencing of t(4;14) multiple myeloma cell lines revealed a significant enrichment in the regulation of metabolic processes by PKCalpha, and the glycolytic gene, hexokinase 2 (HK2), was transcriptionally regulated by PKCalpha in a PI3K/Akt-dependent manner. Loss of PKCalpha displaced mitochondria-bound HK2 and reversed sensitivity to the glycolytic inhibitor 3-bromopyruvate. In addition, the perturbation of glycolytic flux led to a metabolic shift to a less energetic state and decreased ATP production.

Drug Resistance
Longitudinal copy number aberration (CNA) analysis
Mechanism Description Resistance to immunomodulatory drugs (IMiD) and proteasome inhibitors was recently associated with mutations in IMiD response genes IRF4, CRBN, DDB1, CUL4A, CUL4B, IkZF1, IkZF2, and IkZF3 or in the proteasome inhibitor response genes PSMB5 and PSMG2, respectively. Mechanistically, bi-allelic loss of tumor-suppressor genes is a crucial mechanism, allowing units of selection to evade treatment-induced apoptosis with the acquisition of subsequent proliferative advantage leading to their outgrowth.

Mechanism Description In this study, we used the proximity labeling technique TurboID and quantitative proteomics to identify Lys-63-specific deubiquitinase BRCC36 as a CRBN-interacting protein. Biochemical experiments demonstrated that BRCC36 in the BRISC complex protects CRBN from lysosomal degradation by specifically cleaving the K63-linked polyubiquitin chain on CRBN. Further studies found that a small-molecule compound SHIN1, which binds to BRISC complex subunit SHMT2, can upregulate CRBN by elevating BRCC36. The combination of SHIN1 and Len can further increase the sensitivity of MM cells to IMiDs. Therefore, this study provides the basis for the exploration of a possible strategy for the SHIN1 and Len combination treatment for MM.

Mechanism Description Mechanistically, BTZ-resistant cells show increased activity of glutamine-driven TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, together with an increased vulnerability towards ETC inhibition. Moreover, BTZ resistance is accompanied by high levels of the mitochondrial electron carrier CoQ, while the mevalonate pathway inhibitor simvastatin increases cell death and decreases CoQ levels, specifically in BTZ-resistant cells. Both in vitro and in vivo, simvastatin enhances the effect of bortezomib treatment. Our study links CoQ synthesis to drug resistance in MM and provides a novel avenue for improving BTZ responses through statin-induced inhibition of mitochondrial metabolism.
