Assessing IRAK4 Functions in ABC DLBCL by IRAK4 Kinase Inhibition and Protein Degradation.
CELL CHEMICAL BIOLOGY(2020)
摘要
The interleukin-1 receptor-activated kinase 4 (IRAK4) belongs to the IRAK family of serine/threonine kinases and plays a central role in the innate immune response. However, the function of IRAK4 in tumor growth and progression remains elusive. Here we sought to determine the enzymatic and scaffolding functions of IRAK4 in activated B-cell-like diffuse large B cell lymphoma (ABC DLBCL). We chose a highly selective IRAK4 kinase inhibitor to probe the biological effects of kinase inhibition and developed a series of IRAK4 degraders to evaluate the effects of protein degradation in ABC DLBCL cells. Interestingly, the results demonstrated that neither IRAK4 kinase inhibition nor protein degradation led to cell death or growth inhibition, suggesting a redundant role for IRAK4 in ABC DLBCL cell survival. IRAK4 degraders characterized in this study provide useful tools for understanding IRAK4 protein scaffolding function, which was previously unachievable using pharmacological perturbation.
