A small HDM2 antagonist peptide and a USP7 inhibitor synergistically inhibit the p53-HDM2-USP7 circuit

© 2023 John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

HDM2, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is a crucial regulator of many proliferation-related pathways. It is also one of the primary regulators of p53. USP7, a deubiquitinase, also plays a key role in the regulation of both p53 and HDM2, thus forming a small regulatory network with them. This network has emerged as an important drug target. Development of a synergistic combination targeting both proteins is desirable and important for regulating this module. We have developed a small helically constrained peptide that potently inhibited p53-HDM2 interaction and exerted anti-proliferative effects on p53+/+ cells. A combination of this peptide-when attached to cell entry and nuclear localization tags-and a USP7 inhibitor showed synergistic anti-proliferative effects against cells harboring wild-type alleles of p53. Synergistic inhibition of two important drug targets may lead to novel therapeutic strategies.
