The FGFR inhibitor PD173074 binds to the C-terminus of oncofetal HMGA2 and modulates its DNA-binding and transcriptional activation functions

The architectural chromatin factor high-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) is causally involved in several human malignancies and pathologies. HMGA2 is not expressed in most normal adult somatic cells, which renders the protein an attractive drug target. An established cell-based compound library scre...

description The architectural chromatin factor high-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) is causally involved in several human malignancies and pathologies. HMGA2 is not expressed in most normal adult somatic cells, which renders the protein an attractive drug target. An established cell-based compound library screen identified the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor PD173074 as an antagonist of HMGA2-mediated transcriptional reporter gene activation. We determined that PD173074 binds the C-terminus of HMGA2 and interferes with functional coordination of the three AT-hook DNA-binding domains mediated by the C-terminus. The HMGA2-antagonistic effect of PD173074 on transcriptional activation may therefore result from an induced altered DNA-binding mode of HMGA2. PD173074 as a novel HMGA2-specific antagonist could trigger the development of derivates with enhanced attributes and clinical potential.
