ABSTRACT Signaling pathways play a key role in HIV-1 latency. In this study, we used the 24ST1NLESG cell line of HIV-1 latency to screen a library of structurally diverse, medicinally active, cell permeable kinase inhibitors, which target a wide range of signaling pathways, to identify inhibitors of HIV-1 latency reversal. The screen was carried out in the absence or presence of three mechanistically distinct latency-reversing agents (LRAs), namely, prostratin, panobinostat, and JQ-1. We identified inhibitors that only blocked the activity of a specific LRA, as well as inhibitors that blocked the activity of all LRAs. For example, we identified 12 inhibitors targeted toward protein kinase C or downstream kinases that blocked the activity of prostratin. We also identified 12 kinase inhibitors that blocked the reversal of HIV-1 latency irrespective of the LRA used in the screen. Of these, danusertib, an Aurora kinase inhibitor, and PF-3758309, a PAK4 inhibitor, were the most potent. The 50% inhibitory concentrations in the 24ST1NLESG cells ranged from 40 to 147 nM for danusertib (selectivity indices, >150) and from 0.1 to 1 nM for PF-3758309 (selectivity indices, >3,300). Both danusertib and PF-3758309 inhibited latency reversal in CD4+ T cells isolated from HIV-1-infected donors. Collectively, our study describes a chemical approach that can be applied to elucidate the role of signaling pathways involved in LRA activity or the maintenance of HIV-1 latency and also identifies inhibitors of latent HIV-1 reactivation that could be used with antiretroviral therapy to reduce residual viremia.

Myc oncoproteins promote continuous cell growth, in part by controlling the transcription of key cell cycle regulators. Here, we report that c-Myc regulates the expression of Aurora A and B kinases (Aurka and Aurkb), and that Aurka and Aurkb transcripts and protein levels are highly elevated in Myc-driven B-cell lymphomas in both mice and humans. The induction of Aurka by Myc is transcriptional and is directly mediated via E-boxes, whereas Aurkb is regulated indirectly. Blocking Aurka/b kinase activity with a selective Aurora kinase inhibitor triggers transient mitotic arrest, polyploidization, and apoptosis of Myc-induced lymphomas. These phenotypes are selectively bypassed by a kinase inhibitor-resistant Aurkb mutant, demonstrating that Aurkb is the primary therapeutic target in the context of Myc. Importantly, apoptosis provoked by Aurk inhibition was p53 independent, suggesting that Aurka/Aurkb inhibitors will show efficacy in treating primary or relapsed malignancies having Myc involvement and/or loss of p53 function.
