摘要

Introduction

Maintaining protein homeostasis is vital for multiple myeloma (MM) cell survival. Indirubin- 3-monoxime (I3MO), a potential MM therapeutic, inhibits proteasome activity, while histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) regulates autophagy. We developed I3MV- 8b, an I3MO derivative, integrating an HDAC6 inhibitor moiety to enhance dual inhibition of proteasome and autophagy pathways.

Methods

The anti-MM effects of I3MV- 8b were tested in vitro and in vivo. To identify downstream targets, RNA-seq and dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed. Additionally, ChIP-seq and IP-MS techniques were employed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism.

Results

I3MV- 8b significantly suppressed MM cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. Combined with proteasome inhibitors, I3MV- 8b enhanced cytotoxicity by concurrently inhibiting proteasome and autophagy pathways. It reduced TRIM28 transcription, correlating with lower expression of proteasome subunits and autophagy-related genes. ChIP-seq revealed that TRIM28 binds to proteasome gene promoters, and its knockdown decreased proteasome subunit expression and activity. TRIM28 knockdown also impaired autophagosome formation. IP-MS and Co-IP assays showed TRIM28 interacted with 14–3 - 3ζ, a negative regulator of autophagy, promoting its ubiquitination and degradation. This interaction reduced autophagy regulation, further sensitizing cells to treatment.

Conclusions

I3MV- 8b offers a novel dual inhibition strategy targeting proteasome and autophagy, presenting a promising therapeutic option for MM.
