[0002] MENIN INHIBITORS FOR THE TREATMENT OF MYELOPROLIFERATIVE

[0003] NEOPLASMS

[0004] RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0005] This Application claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 63 / 857,372, filed on August 4, 2025, and 63 / 706,402, filed on October 11, 2024, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0006] BACKGROUND

[0007] Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are hematologic neoplasms that arise from neoplastic hematopoietic myeloid progenitor cells in the bone marrow, such as the precursor cells of red cells, platelets and granulocytes.

[0008] Among these, myelofibrosis (MF) is a type of bone marrow cancer which disrupts the normal production of blood cells with low median survival ranges. Treatment options for myelofibrosis are limited and mortality remains high; therefore, there is currently an unmet medical need for developing therapeutics.

[0009] Menin inhibitors (including Revumenib) are new and promising agents currently in clinical development for targeting leukemogenesis in histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A- rearranged (KMT2Ar) and in NPMl-mutated (NPMlmut) acute leukemias. The mechanism of action of this new class of agents is based on the disruption of the menin-KMT2A complex (consisting of chromatin remodeling proteins), leading to the differentiation and apoptosis of AML cells expressing KMT2A or with mutated NPM1.

[0356] Biological Assays

[0357] In some aspects, menin inhibitors are evaluated for efficacy in the treatment of myelofibrosis.

[0358] Megakaryocytes are hematopoietic precursors and megakaryocyte proliferation is a key contributor to myelofibrosis symptoms (Melo-Cardenas et al, “The Role of Megakaryocytes in Myelofibrosis”, HematoL Oncol. Clin. North. Am. 2021, 35, 191-203). Compounds that inhibit the proliferation of megakaryocytes are reliable tools in the treatment of MF. Menin inhibitors are shown herein to inhibit megakaryocyte proliferation as measured by colony forming unit assays and several MPN mouse models. Genetic testing has revealed a requirement for menin and an on-target effect of menin inhibitors on the disruption of megakaryocyte proliferation. Thus, menin inhibition is an effective strategy in the treatment of myelofibrosis.

[0359] The MPLW515L mutation produces a phenotype that closely resembles myelofibrosis in humans, characterized by excessive proliferation of megakaryocytes and high levels of platelet-derived growth factors, inducing fibrosis in the bone marrow, and excessive blood cell production (z.e., thrombocytosis, and leukocytosis) (see, e.g., Jacquelin et al. “Murine Models of Myelofibrosis,” Cancers, 202, 12, 2381 . Thus, the MPLW515L mouse model serves as an in vivo tool to evaluate the efficacy of menin inhibitors in the treatment of myelofibrosis. Similarly, the JAK2V617F retroviral transduction / transplantation model is a reliable in vivo MF model, which produces a phenotype characterized by polycythemia, splenomegaly, modest lymphoproliferation, and bone marrow fibrosis. Further, the MPL S504N constitutive knock- in mouse model, which spontaneously develops thrombocytosis and bone marrow fibrosis over Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO) several months, was employed to further assess menin inhibitors in MF treatment. In all models, menin inhibitors as single agents or in combination with JAK inhibitors were highly efficacious. The mechanism is confirmed by genetic studies indicating menin inhibition disrupts megakaryocyte formation from progenitors at the early or late megakaryocyte progenitor stage. The findings of the present disclosure thus indicate that menin inhibitors as single agents or in combination with JAK inhibitors are reliable in the treatment of MPNs and MF.

[0522] EXAMPLES

[0523] The formation of megakaryocyte (MK) cells occurs in a stepwise fashion from the hematopoietic stem cell, including either those with the ability to give rise to the complete repertoire of blood cells or those that are biased to produce megakaryocytes (MK-biased HSCs). The capacity of menin inhibitors to block MK cell formation from HSC cells in CFU assays, suggests that menin inhibition selectively inhibits differentiation of an intermediate MK precursor cell prior to MK cell formation.

[0524] Example 1. In Vitro Evaluation of Four Test Compounds on Human Megakaryocyte Progenitor CFC Proliferation in Normal Bone Marrow

[0525] Four test compounds were evaluated for toxicity to the megakaryocyte lineage using the CFU-Mk colony forming cell assay. The compounds were tested at concentrations ranging from 15 - 0.005 pM. 5-FU was used as a positive control for toxicity and behaved as historically observed.

[0530] IMDM + 10% FBS: Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum

[0531] DMSO: Dimethyl-sulfoxide

[0532] Purpose

[0533] The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effects of four test compounds on human megakaryocyte progenitor proliferation using the CFU-Mk assay.

[0534] Tests performed

[0535] Clonogenic progenitors of the human megakaryocyte (CFU-Mk) lineage were assessed in a semi-solid, collagen-based matrix containing rhIL-3 (10 ng / mL), rhIL-6 (10 ng / mL) and rhTpo (50 ng / mL).

[0536] Cells

[0537] Normal human bone marrow light density cells, derived from normal bone marrow (iSpecimens, MA), were stored at -152°C until required for the assay. On the day of the experiment, the cells were thawed rapidly, the contents of each vial was diluted in 10 mL of Iscove’s modified Dulbecco’s medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (IMDM + 10% FBS) and washed by centrifugation (approximately 1200 r.p.m. for 10 minutes, room temperature). The supernatant was discarded and the cell pellets resuspended in a known volume of IMDM + 10% FBS. A cell count (3% glacial acetic acid) and viability assessment (trypan blue exclusion test) was performed for the bone marrow sample. Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0538] Compounds

[0539] The test compounds were supplied in powder format and were diluted in DMSO to generate stock concentrations of 30 mM. From there, serial dilutions were made in DMSO to generate working stock concentrations of 15, 5, 1.5, 0.5, 0.15, 0.05, 0.015 and 0.005 mM. 5- FU was used as a positive control for toxicity and concentrations of 1.0, 0.1 and 0.01 mg / mL were prepared in DMSO. When added to the collagen-based media at 1 : 1000 (v / v), the final desired test concentrations for the test compounds of 15, 5, 1.5, 0.5, 0.15, 0.05, 0.015 and 0.005 pM were achieved and for 5-FU, final concentrations of 1.0, 0.1 and 0.01 pg / mL were achieved.

[0540] Method Summary

[0541] Clonogenic progenitors of the human megakaryocytic (CFU-Mk) lineages were set up in the media formulation described above. All test compounds were added to the medium to give the final desired concentrations (15, 5, 1.5, 0.5, 0.15, 0.05, 0.015 and 0.005 pM). 5-FU was used as a positive control and was introduced to the human bone marrow cultures at 1.0, 0.1 and 0.01 pg / mL. Solvent control cultures (containing no compound but 0.1% DMSO), as well as a standard control (containing no compound and no DMSO), were also initiated.

[0542] Human megakaryocyte progenitor assays were initiated with 1 x 105cells per culture. Following 14 days in culture, the cultures were transferred from the 35 mm dishes to labeled glass slides, were fixed (methanol / acetone) and then stained using an anti-human CD41 antibody and an alkaline phosphate detection system according to manufacturers’ instructions. The colonies were assessed microscopically and scored by trained personnel and divided into the following categories based on size; CFU-Mk (3-20), CFU-Mk (21-49), CFU-Mk (> 50).

[0543] Statistical Analyses o f CFC numbers:

[0544] The mean ± 1 standard deviation of three replicate cultures was calculated for the progenitors. Two-tailed standard t-tests were performed to assess if there was a difference in the number of colonies generated between solvent control and treated cultures. Due to the potential subjectivity of colony enumeration, a p value of less than 0.01 is deemed significant. To calculate the concentration of 50% inhibition of colony growth (ICso) for each compound, a dose response curve was generated plotting the log of the compound concentration versus the percentage of control colony growth using Graphpad Prism 8. Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0545] Results:

[0546] Megakaryocyte colony enumeration was performed by trained personnel. In addition, the distribution of colony types as well as general colony and cellular morphology was analyzed. The variance in colony number detected in replicate cultures was representative of the historical coefficient of variation for colony enumeration using these types of assays. The number and distribution of colonies detected in the solvent control (0.1% DMSO) was not significantly different from the standard control (containing no compound and no DMSO). For statistical analysis colony numbers in compound treated cultures were compared the solvent control cultures. 5-FU was used as a positive control for toxicity in these assays and behaved as historically observed.

[0547] The results of experiments to evaluate the potential effect of test compounds on human megakaryocyte progenitor proliferation in a collagen-based system are presented in Table A and Fig. 1. ICso values for all compounds are presented in Table B. The megakaryocyte progenitor assay allows for the evaluation of more primitive progenitors, detected by the presence of large colonies (CFU-Mk >50), the intermediate progenitors (CFU-Mk 21-49), detected by the presence of medium sized colonies, as well as the most mature progenitors (CFU-Mk 3-20), detected by the presence of small colonies. The total CFU-Mk value is the sum of the CFU-Mk (3-20), CFU-Mk (21-49) and CFU-Mk (>50). ICso values are determined based on the total CFU-Mk.

[0548] Compound No. 4 was the most potent compound in the series, with significant inhibition of megakaryocyte progenitors at concentrations ranging from 15 - 0.15 pM (Table A) and resulting in an ICso value of 0.27 pM (Table B). Compound No. 1 had a similar profile again with inhibition of megakaryocyte progenitors from 15 - 0.15 pM (Table A) and an ICso value of 0.33 pM (Table B). Compound No. 3 inhibited megakaryocyte progenitor proliferation from 15 - 0.5 pM (Table A), resulting in an ICso value of 0.95 pM (Table B). Finally Compound No. 2 was the least potent compound in the series but with a profile similar to Compound No. 3, and with inhibition of megakaryocyte progenitor proliferation at 15, 5 and 1.5 pM (Table A), resulting in an ICso value of 1.08 pM (Table B).

[0549] Compound No. 3 supported the most primitive megakaryocyte progenitor (CFU-Mk > 50) at 1.5 pM, whereas Compound No. 2 and Compound No. 1 supported the same progenitor at 0.5 pM. Compound No. 4, which was the most potent compound in the series did not support the CFU-Mk > 50 at concentrations greater than 0.15 pM.

[0553] Conclusion:

[0554] Four test compounds were evaluated for toxicity to the megakaryocyte lineage using the CFU-Mk colony forming cell assay. The compounds were tested at concentrations ranging from 15 - 0.005 pM. 5-FU was used as a positive control for toxicity and behaved as historically observed. Compound No. 4 was the most potent compound in the series, with significant inhibition of megakaryocyte progenitors at concentrations ranging from 15 - 0.15 pM and resulting in an ICso value of 0.27 pM.

Compound No. 3 inhibited megakaryocyte progenitor proliferation from 15 - 0.5 pM, resulting in an ICso value of 0.95 pM. Finally Compound No. 2 was the least potent compound in the series but with a profile similar to Compound No. 3, and with inhibition of megakaryocyte progenitor proliferation at 15, 5 and 1.5 pM, resulting in an ICso value of 1.08 pM.

[0559] Example 2. Effect of Compound No. 1 on the Formation of Human Megakaryocyte (MK)

[0560] Cells

[0561] Human megakaryocyte (MK) cells are the source of platelets in blood. It was demonstrated in preclinical assays that menin inhibitors inhibit MK cell production from CD34+ progenitor cells in colony forming assays. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Compound No. 1 on the formation of human megakaryocyte (MK) cells from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs).

[0562] Method Human CD34+ cells were purified using a kit from Miltenyi BioTech according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Human CD34+ cells were first expanded 8 days in Stem Span II media in the presence of recombinant human SCF, (final concentration 50ng / ml), human Flt3 ligand (final concentration lOOng / ml), human IL-6 (final concentration 50 ng / mL), and hLDL at 1 :250 dilution. Resulting cells were centrifuged and resuspended in Stem Span II media with human recombinant thrombopoietin (final concentration 50ng / ml) for 6 days. All the cytokines,

[0563] Stem Span II media and hLDL were purchased from Stem Cell Technologies. The cells were stained with V450 mouse lineage antibody cocktail (BD Biosciences), CD34 APCCy7 Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0564] (Biolegend), CD38 (Biolegend), CD45RA PercpCy5.5 (Biolegend) and CD 123 PeCy7 (Biolegend). MEPs (Lin7CD347CD38+ / CD1237CD45RA) were sorted by BD FACSAria™ The cells were lysed and subjected to single cell RNA-sequencing analysis (10X Genomics). Data were visualized by uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) analysis. Cell lineages are labelled and colored for clarity.

[0565] Abbreviations

[0566] These studies show that Compound No. 1 appears to deplete a specific cell population, the megakaryocyte precursor (MKP) as shown in FIG. 2A-2D. In MF, the MKP cells carrying genetic driver mutations (e.g., JAK2V617F, CALR (e.g., type 1 and type 2 mutations), and MPL (e.g., W515L mutations)) in myelofibrosis. Depletion of MKP cells by Compound No. 1 suggests that menin inhibitors alone or when combined with SOC (Standard of Care) agents may be a potential treatment for MF. Example 3. Assessment of the Effect of Menin Inhibition on Colony Formation of the Myeloid, Erythroid, and Megakaryocyte Lineages Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0567] The objective of this study is to assay the effect of menin inhibition on colony formation of the myeloid, erythroid, and megakaryocyte lineages. Standard Colony -Forming Unit (CFU) assays are performed for these three lineages from both human CD34+ cells and mouse hematopoietic progenitor cells. The ICso values for Compound No. 1 are determined by treating cells with dose titrations of the compound ranging from InM to 20pM. Both numbers and morphology of colonies are evaluated.

[0568] Example 4. In Vitro Differentiation Assays for Assessing the Effect of Menin Inhibition on Megakaryocyte Maturation and Polyploidization

[0569] In vitro differentiation assays assess the effect of menin inhibition on megakaryocyte maturation and polyploidization. Since determining herein that menin inhibitors reduce CFU- MK, the effect on megakaryocyte progenitor cell growth is assessed. Liquid culture megakaryocyte differentiation assays (suspension cultures) are performed with human cells. Maturation of megakaryocytes are assessed by changes in cell surface marker expression and DNA content.

[0570] Example 5. Effect of Menin Inhibitors on the Megakaryocyte Lineage In Vivo

[0571] The objective of this study is to determine the effect of menin inhibitors on the megakaryocyte lineage in vivo. Although in vitro assays are an important way to assess the effect of the inhibitors on megakaryocytes, in vivo assays provide more comprehensive data. Wild-type C57B1 / 6 mice are provided with feed containing the menin inhibitors for up to five weeks. Peripheral blood counts are monitored on a weekly basis and a detailed assessment of hematopoiesis is performed at the endpoint. This study includes histological analysis of sternal bone marrow and spleen, myeloid, erythroid and megakaryocyte colony forming assays, and flow cytometry to assess the composition of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells as well as mature myeloid lineages, erythroid cells and megakaryocytes.

[0572] Example 6. Effect of Menin Inhibitors on MPN progression In Vivo

[0573] The objective of this study is to assess the anti -tumor activity of menin inhibitors (e.g., those in Table 1, including Compound No. 1) in a mouse model of myelofibrosis. The MPLW515L mouse model of MF was established by transplanting mouse bone marrow cells that express this MPL mutant to recipient mice. In this model, animals develop leukocytosis and thrombocytosis with enlarged spleens and liver, and profound bone marrow fibrosis. Two weeks after transplant, mice are fed chow containing each menin inhibitor (e.g., those in Table Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

At the endpoint of the study, mice are euthanized and the extent of the disease is assessed by flow cytometry and histology.

[0575] Example 7. In vitro Evaluation of Three Test Compounds on Erythroid, Myeloid and Megakaryocyte Progenitor Proliferation using Colony Forming Cell Assays

[0576] Summary

[0577] In semi-solid methylcellulose-based or collagen-based culture systems, Compound No. 9, Compound No. 2 and Compound 1 were evaluated on human erythroid, myeloid and megakaryocyte progenitor proliferation. 5-FU was used as a positive control for toxicity and the inhibitory effects obtained for this compound were as historically observed. None of the three test compounds had a significant inhibitory effect on the myeloid lineage and ICso values could not be calculated and so are presented as > 15 pM (the highest concentration tested). Compound No. 9 and Compound No. 2 inhibited the total erythroid progenitor proliferation at 15 pM (Compound No. 9) or 15 and 5 pM (Compound No. 2) and this resulted in ICso values of 9.1 and 8.4 pM respectively. All compounds had a very significant effect on the megakaryocyte progenitors, with inhibition of the total CFU-Mk from 15 - 0.5 pM (Compound No. 9 and Compound No. 2) and additionally at 0.15 pM for Compound 1). This resulted in ICso values of 0.55, 0.66 and 0.12 pM respectively.

[0590] Purpose

[0591] The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential effect of three test compounds on human erythroid, myeloid and megakaryocyte progenitors using colony forming cell assays.

[0592] Tests performed

[0593] Clonogenic progenitors of human erythroid (CFU-E, BFU-E), granulocyte-monocyte (CFU-GM) and multipotential (CFU-GEMM) lineages were assessed in a semi-solid methylcellulose-based media formulation containing 25% FBS, 2% BSA, rhIL-3 (10 ng / mL), rhGM-CSF (10 ng / mL), rhSCF (50 ng / mL) and Epo (3 U / mL).

[0595] Cells

[0596] Normal human bone marrow light density cells derived from a normal bone marrow (details below) and qualified at ReachBio, were stored in the gaseous phase of liquid nitrogen (-152°C) until required for the assay. On the day of the experiment, the cells were thawed rapidly diluted in 10 mL of Iscove’s modified Dulbecco’s medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (IMDM + 10% FBS) and washed by centrifugation (approximately 1200 r.p.m. for 10 minutes, room temperature). The supernatant was discarded and the cell pellet resuspended in a known volume of IMDM + 10% FBS. A cell count (3% glacial acetic acid) and viability assessment (trypan blue exclusion test) was performed for the bone marrow sample.

[0597] Compounds

[0598] The test compounds were supplied in powder format and were diluted in DMSO to generate stock concentrations of 15 mM. From there, serial dilutions were made in DMSO to generate working stock concentrations of 6, 1.5, 0.5, 0.15 and 0.05 mM. 5-FU was used as a positive control for toxicity and concentrations of 1.0, 0.1 and 0.02 mg / mL were prepared in DMSO. When added to the media at 1 : 1000 (v / v), the final desired test concentrations for the test compounds of 15, 6, 1.5, 0.5, 0.15 and 0.05 pM were achieved. Additionally, 5FU was evaluated at final concentrations of 1, 0.1 and 0.01 pg / mL.

[0599] Method Summary

[0600] Clonogenic progenitors of the human erythroid (CFU-E and BFU-E) and myeloid (CFU-GM) lineages were set up in the methylcellulose-based media formulations described above. All compounds were added to the medium to give the final desired concentrations. 5FU was used as a positive control and was introduced to the human bone marrow cultures at 1, 0.1 and 0.01 pg / mL. Solvent control cultures (containing no compound but 0.1% DMSO), as well as standard controls (containing no compound and no DMSO), were also initiated.

[0601] Clonogenic progenitors of the human megakaryocytic (CFU-Mk) lineages were set up in the media formulation described above. All compounds were added to the medium to give the final desired concentrations, and 0.082 pM). 5FU was used as a positive control and was introduced to the human bone marrow cultures at 1, 0.1 and 0.01 pg / mL. Solvent control cultures (containing no compound but 0.1% DMSO), as well as standard controls (containing no compound and no DMSO), were also initiated. Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0602] Human myeloid and erythroid progenitor assays were initiated at 2 x 104cells per culture and CFU-Mk were initiated at 1.2 x 105per culture. Following 14 days in culture, myeloid and erythroid colonies were assessed microscopically and scored by trained personnel. The colonies were divided into the following categories based on size and morphology: CFU- E, BFU-E, CFU-GM and CFU-GEMM. The megakaryocyte cultures were transferred from the 35 mm dishes to labeled glass slides, were fixed (methanol / acetone) and then stained using an anti-human CD41 antibody and an alkaline phosphate detection system according to manufacturers’ instructions. The colonies were assessed microscopically and scored by trained personnel and divided into the following categories based on size; CFU-Mk (3-20), CFU-Mk (21-49), CFU-Mk (> 50).

[0603] Statistical Analyses o f CFC numbers

[0604] The mean ± one standard deviation of three replicate cultures was calculated for progenitors of each category. Two-tailed t-tests were performed to assess if there was a difference in the number of colonies generated between solvent control and treated cultures. Due to the potential subjectivity of colony enumeration, a p value of less than 0.01 is deemed significant. To calculate the concentration of 50% inhibition of colony growth (ICso) for each compound, a dose response curve was generated plotting the log of the compound concentration versus the percentage of control colony growth using Graphpad 8. The concentration of 50% inhibition of colony growth (ICso) was calculated based on the sigmoid curve fit using Dose-Response, One-Site Model formula: y = A + [(B - A) / (l + ((C / x)AD))], where A = the initial value (baseline response), B = maximum response, C = center (drug concentration that provokes a response halfway between A and B) and D= slope of the curve at midpoint. Plots and additional dose response curves were generated using GraphPad Prism 8.0.

[0605] Results

[0606] Erythroid (CFU-E and BFU-E), myeloid (CFU-GM), multi-potential (CFU-GEMM) and megakaryocyte (CFU-Mk) colony enumeration was performed by trained personnel. The distribution of colony types as well as general colony and cellular morphology was analyzed. The variance in colony number detected in replicate cultures was representative of the historical coefficient of variation for colony enumeration using these types of assays. The number and distribution of colonies detected in the solvent control (0.1% DMSO) was no different from the standard control (containing no compound and no DMSO) (Tablesl and 2). Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0607] For statistical analysis, colony numbers in compound-treated cultures were compared to the solvent control culture condition. 5-FU was used as a positive control for toxicity in these assays and the inhibitory effects obtained for this compound were as historically observed with inhibition at 1 and 0.1 pg / mL.

[0608] The results of the experiment to evaluate the potential effect of test compounds on human erythroid and myeloid progenitor proliferation in a methylcellulose-based medium are presented in Table C. The results of the experiments to evaluate the potential effect of test compounds on human megakaryocyte progenitor proliferation are presented in Table D. The megakaryocyte progenitor assay allows for the evaluation of more primitive progenitors, detected by the presence of large colonies (CFU-Mk >50), the intermediate progenitors (CFU-Mk 21-49), detected by the presence of medium sized colonies, as well as the most mature progenitors (CFU-Mk 3-20), detected by the presence of small colonies. The total CFU-Mk value is the sum of the CFU-Mk (3-20), CFU-Mk (21-49) and CFU-Mk (>50). IC50 values are determined based on the total CFU-Mk. The ICso values calculated from Graphpad Prism 8.2.0 are presented in Table 3. Dose response curves for erythroid, myeloid and megakaryocyte toxicity generated by Graphpad Prism 8.2.0 are presented in FIGs 3A-3C.

[0609] Compound No. 9, Compound No. 2 and Compound No. 1 did not demonstrate any significant inhibitory effect on the myeloid lineage (Table C) and ICso values could not be calculated and so are presented as > 15 pM (the highest concentration tested, Table E). Compound No. 9 inhibited the total erythroid progenitor proliferation at 15 pM and Compound No. 2 at 15 and 5 pM (Table C) and this resulted in ICso values of 9.1 and 8.4 pM respectively (Table E). All compounds had a very significant effect on the megakaryocyte progenitors, with inhibition of the total CFU-Mk from 15 - 0.5 pM (Compound No. 9 and Compound No. 2) and additionally at 0.15 pM for Compound No. 1 (Table C). This resulted in ICso values of 0.55, 0.66 and 0.12 pM respectively (TableD). These data suggest that the compounds may have a lineage specific toxicity, with inhibition to the megakaryocyte progenitors being more than a log greater than that to the erythroid or myeloid progenitors.

[0614] Conclusion:

[0615] In semi-solid methylcellulose-based or collagen-based culture systems, Compound No. 9, Compound No. 2 and Compound No. 1 were evaluated on human erythroid, myeloid and megakaryocyte progenitor proliferation. There were very different effects of the compounds on the various lineages. 5-FU was used as a positive control for toxicity and the inhibitory effects obtained for this compound were as historically observed. None of the three test compounds had a significant inhibitory effect on the myeloid lineage and ICso values could not be calculated and so are presented as > 15 pM (the highest concentration tested). Compound No. 9 and Compound No. 2 inhibited the total erythroid progenitor proliferation at 15 pM (Compound No. 9) or 15 and 5 pM (Compound No. 2) and this resulted in ICso values of 9.1 and 8.4 pM respectively. All compounds had a very significant effect on the megakaryocyte progenitors, with inhibition of the total CFU-Mk from 15 - 0.5 pM (Compound No. 9 and Compound No. 2) and additionally at 0.15 pM for Compound No. 1). This resulted in ICso values of 0.55, 0.66 and 0.12 pM respectively. These data suggest that the compounds may have a lineage specific toxicity, with inhibition to the megakaryocyte progenitors being more than a log greater than that to the erythroid or myeloid progenitors.

[0616] Example 8: Mechanism of Megakaryocyte Inhibition

[0617] We cultured human CD34+ progenitor cells in vitro under conditions to produce megakaryocytes. CD34+ cells were expanded for 7 days and then placed in differentiation media in the presence of Compound No. 1 or vehicle (FIG 5C). We examined the effect on megakaryocytes by flow cytometry for progenitors and different stages of mature cells and found that Compound No. 1 reduced the percentage and absolute number of CD41+MEP precursors and suppressed the formation of CD41+CD42- and CD41+CD42+ megakaryocytes (FIGs. 5D-5G). The drugs also decreased polyploidization and increased apoptotic markers with concomitant decreases in S-phase and G2 / M cells (FIGs. 6A-6E). Of note, ziftomenib had similar effects both in CFU assays and liquid cultures (FIGs. 22A-22H), indicating that this is a class effect of menin inhibitors. Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0618] To gain further insights into the effects of menin inhibition on megakaryocytes, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing on cells derived from the CD34+cultures treated with Compound No. 1 or vehicle. As outlined above, we cultured CD34+ cells for 7 days in expansion media then added vehicle or Compound No. 1 at 0.3 pM, the IC50 in the CFU-MK assays in presence of thrombopoietin (TPO) to promote megakaryocyte development (FIG. 5 A). Cells were collected after 7 days of treatment with vehicle or Compound No. 1 and stained with antibodies against human lineage markers, CD34, CD38 CD123, and CD45RAto identify megakaryocyte erythroid progenitors (MEP) (Miyawaki et al, PMID: 28336526), which were then isolated by flow cytometry (FIG 7A). The sorted cells were then subjected to 10X genomics single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). Eleven samples passed quality control criteria (FIG. 7B). The initial Seurat analysis revealed 11 clusters with a group of 3 ITGA2B (CD41) positive megakaryocytic clusters and a substantial population of myeloid lineage cells, composed of 5 clusters, as evidenced by staining for MPO and ELAINE (FIGs. 7C and 7D). We thus repeated the analysis after sub-clustering on the ITGA2B+group. This analysis identified 14 clusters that we annotated as CMP / MEP / ERP and early and late megakaryocyte progenitors (MKPs) (FIG. 8A). Genes that defined the clusters are highlighted in FIGs. 8B and 8C.

[0619] Next, we divided the samples into the vehicle and Compound No. 1 groups and performed Seurat analysis. We discovered that Compound No. 1 had a major detrimental effect on early and late MKP populations with significant reductions in both the numbers and percentages (FIG. 8D). This loss was accompanied by increases in the numbers and percentages of CMP, MEP and ERP cells. Together, these data indicate that Compound No. 1 has an effect on the specification or maintenance of megakaryocyte progenitor cells. We then examined expression of key KMT2A-menin targets across the different lineages and detected reductions inMEISl, MEF2C and PBX3 in the MEPs (FIG. 8E and FIGs. 9A-9B). Finally, we performed GO pathway analysis on the scRNA-seq data from the different populations. We found enrichment / depletion of cell cycle, DNA synthesis, and mitosis in the MKPs following Compound No. 1 treatment.

[0620] Example 9: Genetic Studies Show a Requirement for Menin and an on-target Effect of Menin Inhibition on Megakaryocytes

[0621] While Compound No. 1 is highly selective disruptor of the menin-KMT2A interaction, it was important to demonstrate an on-target effect and confirm the requirement for menin in megakaryocyte progenitors. To this end, we first assessed the effect of menin knockout by Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0622] CRISPR in human CD34+cell cultures. We found that editing menin with high efficiency by two separate sgRNAs led to significant decreases in the production of CD41+mature megakaryocytes, decreased megakaryocyte ploidy, increased apoptosis, and a significant reduction in CD41+MEPs (FIGs. 10A-10I). Next, to more comprehensively compare the effects of Compound No. 1, we performed 10X genomics scRNA-seq on the cultured cells. We analyzed a total of 18 samples, which included non-targeting control and two sgRNA targeting MEN1 from 3 independent experiments. All 18 samples passed our quality control criteria (FIG. 11 A). Similar to the Compound No. 1-treated scRNA-seq study (Example 8), sorted cells included a substantial myeloid population that expressed MPO and ELAINE (FIGs. 1 IB and 11C). We therefore sub-clustered on the ITGA2B+population and identified 34 clusters which were then grouped to 7 cell types that included early and late MKPs, MEP, CMP, and ERP (FIGs. 1 ID and 1 IE). When comparing the effect of menin KO to the non-targeting guide, we found that MEN1 knockout led to suppression of megakaryocyte populations with concomitant increases in CMPs and MEPs (FIG. 12).

[0623] The 7 sub-clustered cell types may also be classified as common myeloid progenitor (CMP), eosinophil / basophil / mast (Eo / Baso / Mast) cell progenitors, cycling progenitors, megakaryocyte erythroid progenitors (MEP), erythroid progenitors (ERP), megakaryocyte progenitors (MKP), and megakaryocytes (MK), as shown in FIGs. 25A-25D. Genes that defined the clusters are highlighted in FIG. 25B. We divided the samples into the pharmacologic and genetic groups and performed downstream analysis on annotated clusters. We discovered that Compound No. 1 had a major detrimental effect on MKP and MK populations with striking reductions in the percentages of these cells (FIG. 25C). This change was accompanied by substantial increases in the percentages of CMP and MEP. Similarly, knockout of MEN1 caused a decrease in the proportion of MKP and MK populations with an expansion of CMP and MEP (FIG. 25D). Together, these data indicate that revumenib and MEN1 loss have a major effect on the specification or maintenance of MKP cells and downstream megakaryocytes. We then examined the expression of key menin-KMT2A target genes across the different lineages and detected reductions in MEIS1, MEF2C, and PBX3 in MEPs and MKPs (FIG. 25E). We also performed Gene Ontology enrichment analysis on the scRNA-seq data from the different populations. We found depletion of pathways related to cell cycle, RNA splicing, and proliferation in megakaryocytes and MKPs following Compound No. 1 treatment with few pathways enriched in the non-megakaryocyte populations. Of note, we did not find significant enrichment of pathways related to JAK / STAT signaling. Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0624] We investigated whether loss of MEIS1 could recapitulate the effect of genetic and pharmacologic menin loss. To this end, we knocked out MEIS1 in human CD34+cells by CRISPR gene editing. We achieved high rates of editing that were accompanied by significant reductions in the percentages of CD41+CD42‘ and CD41+CD42+megakaryocytes with a lower ploidy state (FIGs. 19A-19C). Depletion oiMEISl also reduced the percentage and absolute number of MKPs in cultured cells (FIGs. 19D and 19E). These observations indicate that loss of MEIS1 is sufficient to phenocopy the effect of menin inhibition on megakaryocytic differentiation. To determine whether restoration oiMEISl expression could overcome menin inhibition, we overexpressed MEIS1 in healthy human CD34+cells (FIGs. 191 and 19J), treated the cultures with revumenib or vehicle (DMSO), and assessed the effect on megakaryopoiesis. We observed no rescue with MEIS1 overexpression (FIGs. 19F-19H), indicating that additional menin target genes contribute to the megakaryocytic phenotype.

[0625] Additionally, interrogated the effect of MEN1 and A7 / US7 depletion on development of megakaryocytes from human MF hematopoietic progenitor cells in culture. Using CRISPR, we obtained efficient editing oiMENl (FIG. 20A). In contrast to CD34+cells from healthy donors, we failed to see an effect on the development of immature and mature megakaryocytes, which is likely explained by the inefficient production of mature MKs in MF cultures (FIG. 20B). There was also no effect on the degree of megakaryocyte polyploidy (FIG. 20C). However, MEN1 knockout gave rise to significant reductions in the percentage and absolute numbers of MKPs (FIGs. 20D and 20E). We observed the same effect of MEIS1 loss on megakaryocytes in MF cultures (FIGs. 20F-20J). These results indicate that the suppression of MKs by menin inhibition in MF manifests at the megakaryocyte progenitor stage.

[0626] Example 10: Effect of Menin Inhibitors in Combination with JAK Inhibitors on MPN progression In Vivo

[0627] We next performed pre-clinical studies with Compound No. 1 in mouse models of the MPNs. First, we leveraged the JAK2V617F retroviral transduction / transplantation model, which develops a phenotype characterized by polycythemia, splenomegaly, modest lymphoproliferation, and bone marrow fibrosis. Six weeks following transplantation of c-kit+hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from wild-type C57B1 / 6 mice transduced with JAK2V617F / GFP retrovirus, we fed mice control chow or chow containing 0.25% Compound No. 1 for 5 weeks (FIG. 13 A). We monitored peripheral blood counts and engraftment of the JAK2V617F / GFP cells by CBC and flow cytometry, respectively, on a weekly basis. Compound No. 1 blunted the increased white cell count and normalized both Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO) hemoglobin and hematocrit (FIGs. 13B-13D). It also reduced the platelet count (FIG. 13E). Compound No. 1 treatment did not significantly alter the tumor burden but was associated with a reduction in body weight and a significant decrease in spleen weight (FIGs. 13F-13H). Finally, all the mice treated with Compound No. 1 showed a reticulin grade of zero compared to an average score of 1.5 for the control treated animals (FIGs. 131 and 13 J).

[0628] We then leveraged the inducible JAK2V617F mouse model (PMID: 20541703) to study the effect of the combination of Compound No. 1 and ruxolitinib in this disease, which manifests as polycythemia with modest increases in platelet and white blood cell counts (FIGs. 14B-14E). We collected bone marrow cells from JAK2V617F / Vav-Cre mice and transplanted 2 million mononuclear cells to irradiated C57B1 / 6 recipients. Five weeks post-transplant, we fed the animals chow containing 0.25% Compound No. 1 and / or ruxolitinib (90mg / kg, bid) and monitored the mice by weekly CBC during the three weeks of treatment. As a single agent, Compound No. 1 reduced the elevated white cell count while also reducing the platelet count (FIGs. 14B-14E). Treatment was also associated with reduced body weight, no change in liver weight, but a significant reduction in the spleen weight to the same as extent as ruxolitinib (FIGs. 14F-14H). Single agent treatment with ruxolitinib had stronger effects on the hemoglobin and hematocrit, but less of an effect on WBC and the platelet count. Of note, the combination of Compound No. 1 and ruxolitinib was even more effective, with normalization of WBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit and spleen weight (FIGs. 14B-14H).

[0629] Example 11: Doses and Effects of Menin Inhibitors on MPN progression In Vivo as Single Agents or in Combination with JAK Inhibitors

[0630] We next turned to the MPLW515L transduction / transplant model, which closely resembles an aggressive myelofibrosis with lymphocytosis, thrombocytosis, splenomegaly, accumulation of atypical megakaryocytes, fibrosis and impaired survival. We performed a dose response study in which mice were first engrafted with 600,000 c-kit+hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells expressing MPLW515L and GFP to irradiated Balb / C mice and then randomized the cohort to receive control chow or chow containing 0.04%, 0.1%, or 0.25% Compound No. 1 (FIG. 15 A). Mice were fed Compound No. 1 for up to 5 weeks beginning two weeks post-transplant, and in this time we assayed complete blood counts and GFP tumor burden in the peripheral blood on a weekly basis. We discovered that the 0.1% and 0.25% doses were better able to normalize peripheral blood counts than the 0.04% dose (FIGs 15B-15E). None of the doses led to a significant reduction in GFP tumor burden or a change in body weight (FIGs. 15F and 15G). Detailed analysis of mice at the time of sacrifice showed that Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO) none of the doses reduced the spleen weight, while all three reduced the liver weight (FIGs. 15H and 151). Moreover, the 0.1% and 0.25% doses significantly reduced the degree of fibrosis in the bone marrow (FIG. 15 J). Of note, all doses of Compound No. 1 increased survival, such that all treated animals were alive until the end of study, which was three weeks after the last vehicle treated mouse succumbed to the disease (FIG 15K).

[0631] Next, given that the 0.1% dose was as effective as the 0.25% dose, we selected 0.1% chow for the next study in MPLW515L transplanted mice. This time we added ruxolitinib as a single agent and the combination of Compound No. 1 and ruxolitinib as additional treatment arms. We transplanted 300,000 c-kit+HSPCs expressing MPLW515L and GFP to irradiated Balb / C recipient mice, waited two weeks for engraftment, and then bled the mice to assess engraftment by flow cytometry for GFP (FIG 16A). We randomized the mice based on GFP percentages to treatment with control chow / captisol, Compound No. 1 chow (0.1%) / captisol, control chow / ruxolitinib (90mg / kg, bid), or Compound No. 1 chow (01%) with ruxolitinib (90mg / kg bid). Mice were treated for up to 6 weeks and bled weekly to assess peripheral blood counts and GFP tumor burden. Compound No. 1 and ruxolitinib had similar activity on peripheral blood counts, with suppression of leukocytosis and thrombocytosis but different effects on hemoglobin and hematocrit and a more pronounced effect of Compound No. 1 on platelet counts (FIGs. 16B-16E). There was also a modest decrease in the mutant allele burden at three weeks when the vehicle treated mice succumbed to disease as measured by the percentage of GFP+cells in peripheral blood; this was especially notable with the combination (FIG. 16F). Compound No. 1 treated animals showed a modest decrease in body weight (FIG. 16G). While there were no significant effects of Compound No. 1 or ruxolitinib on spleen weight, the combination notably normalized this parameter (FIG 16H), and livers weight were reduced in all treatment arms (FIG. 161). Cytokine profiling revealed decreases in several pro- fibrotic factors, including TGF-P, MIG / CXCL9, MIPla / CCL3, and TNF-a in the plasma (FIGs. 16J and 26A-26C). Finally, we evaluated the degree of megakaryocyte burden and fibrosis in the bone marrow. Quantitation of megakaryocytes within the total bone marrow region revealed that Compound No. 1 as a single agent significantly decreased the numbers of megakaryocytes, similar to the combination while ruxolitinib alone did not have this effect (FIGs. 16K, 27A-27B, and 28 A). Reticulin staining revealed a more significant reduction in fibrosis with Compound No. 1 treatment compared to ruxolitinib, while the combination recapitulated the Compound No. 1 single agent arm (FIGs. 16L and 28B). Compared to vehicle treated mice, which all succumbed to the disease by 3 weeks of treatment, both single agent Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO) arms and the combination arm showed extended survival until the study was ended at 56 days (FIG. 16M).

[0632] Example 12: Effect of Menin Inhibitors on Thrombocytosis and Bone Marrow Fibrosis

[0633] We also evaluated Compound No. 1’s activity in the MPLS504N constitutive knock-in mouse model, which spontaneously develops thrombocytosis and bone marrow fibrosis over several months (PMID: 35999261). We fed 3 month old mice control chow or 0.1% Compound No. 1 chow for 8 weeks and monitored peripheral blood counts every other week (FIG. 17A). We found that Compound No. 1 reduced the WBC while having no effect on hemoglobin or hematocrit (FIGs. 17B-17D). Compound No. 1 reduced the platelet count and significantly reduced spleen weight while not affecting liver weight (FIGs. 17E-17G). It also decreased the percentage of megakaryocytes and abrogated fibrosis in the bone marrow (FIGs. 17H-17I and 29A-29D).

[0634] Example 13: Effect of Menin Inhibitors on Healthy Mice

[0635] Although Compound No. 1 is well tolerated and has been extensively used in mice at the 0.1% dose, we assessed the effect of the drug on healthy mice. We fed C57B1 / 6 mice with control chow or chow containing 0.1% Compound No. 1 for twelve weeks and assessed the effect over five weeks (FIGs. 21 A-21 J) and over twelve weeks (FIGs. 30A-30J).

[0636] In healthy mice, Compound No. 1 modestly decreased the WBC, hematocrit, hemoglobin and PLT counts, but these values remained in the normal range (FIGs. 21B-21E and 30B-30E). Revumenib-treated animals were slightly heavier with no change in spleen weight, but increased liver weight (FIGs. 30F-30H). Within the bone marrow, Compound No. 1 did not significantly reduce the percentage of MKPs, but was associated with a significant decrease in the absolute number of MKPs (FIGs. 211 and 30I-30J). Overall, although there were modest changes in hematopoiesis, the drug was well tolerated.

[0637] Example 14: Methods Used for the Preceding Examples

[0638] Drugs

[0639] For the in vitro studies, Compound No. 1 and ziftomenib (Catalog# E1290) were purchased from Selleck Chemicals. For the in vivo studies, mice were fed global rodent diet (2020, Teklad) or the same chow containing 0.04%, 0.01%, 0.25% or 0.3% Compound No. 1. Chow was irradiated and vacuum packaged after supplementation with Compound No. 1. Chow was fed to animals ad libitum. Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0640] Patient samples

[0641] Frozen peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples were obtained from 11 patients diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York after informed consent. Frozen vials were rapidly thawed in a 37°C water bath. Cells were then treated with DNase I (Catalog # 07900, STEMCELL Technologies) following the manufacturer’s instructions to prevent clumping caused by released genomic DNA.

[0642] Cell culture

[0643] Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilized normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from healthy adult donors were purchased from CGT Global. CD34+HSPCs were initially isolated using the AutoMACS instrument (Miltenyi Biotec) and subsequently purified and sorted to ensure high purity for downstream applications. Human CD34+HSPCs were expanded for 7 days in CD34+expansion medium consisting of StemSpan™ SFEM II (Catalog #9655, STEMCELL Technologies), supplemented with a 1 : 10 dilution of StemSpan™ CD34+Expansion Supplement (Catalog #2691, STEMCELL Technologies), a 1 : 1000 dilution of human low-density lipoprotein (LDL; Catalog #2698, STEMCELL Technologies), and a 1 : 100 dilution of Penicillin-Streptomycin (Catalog #15140122, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Following expansion, cells were pelleted and resuspended in fresh StemSpan™ SFEM II medium supplemented with 1 :2000 human LDL, 1 : 100 Penicillin-Streptomycin, and 50 ng / mL thrombopoietin (TPO; Catalog #300-18-10UG, Thermo Fisher Scientific) to initiate megakaryocyte differentiation. For each experimental condition (DMSO vs. treatment; non-targeting vs. sgRNA; vector vs. MEIS1 overexpression), 4 * 106cells were allocated per group to ensure equal cell numbers. After 3 days of culture, the TPO concentration was increased to 100 ng / mL and maintained for an additional 4 days to further promote differentiation. On day 14, cells were harvested and analyzed for megakaryocytic differentiation. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from patients with PMF were cultured under the same 7-day expansion conditions. A total of 1 x 106cells were distributed per experimental group (DMSO vs. treatment; nontargeting vs. sgRNA) prior to induction of megakaryocyte differentiation using 50 ng / mL TPO in StemSpan™ SFEM II medium supplemented with a 1 : 10 dilution of CD34+Expansion Supplement, 1 : 1000 human LDL, and 1 : 100 Penicillin-Streptomycin. On day 14, cells were harvested and assessed for megakaryocytic differentiation. Vehicle (DMSO) or Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO) menin inhibitors (Compound No. 1 or ziftomenib) were added at the initiation of TPO treatment.

[0644] CRISPR / Cas9 Editing and Quantification of On-Target Indels

[0645] Single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) used for genome editing were obtained from Synthego. Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes were assembled by incubating Cas9-3*NLS protein at a final concentration of 4 pM with sgRNAs, modified with 2'-O-methyl 3' phosphorothioate at the first and last three nucleotides, at a final concentration of 12 pM. The Cas9 to sgRNA molar ratio was maintained at 1 :3. Complex formation was performed at room temperature for 15 minutes. CD34+HSPCs or PBMCs from PMF patients, previously cultured for 3 days in expansion medium, were washed and resuspended in P3 buffer (Lonza, catalog #V4LP- 3002). For electroporation, 0.2 to 1 million CD34+cells were processed in a 20 pL volume, and 1 to 5 million cells were processed in a 100 pL volume. Electroporation was conducted using the Lonza 4D-Nucleofector system (catalog # AAF-1003X) with program DS- 150, following the manufacturer’s protocol. Immediately after electroporation, cells were transferred into CD34+expansion medium without antibiotics and cultured overnight. The next morning, the medium was replaced with fresh CD34+expansion medium supplemented with antibiotics. Megakaryocyte differentiation was initiated on day 3 post-electroporation, corresponding to day 7 after cell thawing. Three days after RNP electroporation, on-target genome editing efficiency was assessed by sequencing gene-specific amplicons using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Genomic DNA was first amplified using primers containing partial Illumina adapter sequences (PCR 1, 35 cycles) with either MyTaq or Platinum SuperFi polymerase. Indexing was then performed in PCR 2 (5 cycles) using MyTaq polymerase. Amplicons were pooled, supplemented with 10% PhiX for sequence diversity, and sequenced using 2x250 bp paired-end reads. FastQ files were generated via demultiplexing, and indel frequencies were quantified using the CRIS.py tool.

[0646] Viral transduction

[0647] The human MEIS1 open reading frame (ORF) was synthesized using sequence-to- plasmid (S2P) gene synthesis. The synthesized ORF was subsequently cloned into the SJL12biG-MND-DEST vector. Lentiviral particles were produced using standard techniques. CD34+HSPCs were cultured in expansion medium for 3 days and then transduced by spinoculation with 0.5 mL of viral concentrate in 1 mL of expansion medium containing 8 pg / mL polybrene (Catalog # sc-134220, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) at 32 °C and 2,500 rpm Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO) for 2 hours. Following transduction, cells were cultured in CD34+expansion medium for an additional 3 days before initiating megakaryocyte differentiation by exposure to TPO.

[0648] For transfection of murine hematopoietic progenitor cells with retroviruses, plat-E cells (3.5 x 106) (Cell BioLabs, Inc) were seeded in a 10-cm dish coated with poly-l-lysine (Sigma) the day before transfection and then transfected with Migrl plasmids (MSCV-IRES-GFP) containing human MPLW1515L using TransIT 293T (Mirus Bio), according to the manufacturer’s protocols. Forty-eight hours after transfection, the viral supernatant was collected, and 2 ml of viral supernatant was added to retronectin (Takara Bio) coated plates, and then centrifuged at 2,000G, for 90 min at 32 °C. Supernatant was removed and another 2 ml of fresh viral supernatant was added to each well, and then centrifuged at 2,000G, for 90 min at 32 °C. After the second spin, 2.0xl0e6 CD117 (c-KIT) enriched bone marrow cells (in 500ml of Basal Bone Marrow Media with Cytokines) were added to each well and centrifuged at 600G for 20 min and placed in 37°C incubator for 2 hours. After 2 hours, 1ml of basal bone marrow media with cytokines was added and incubated overnight.

[0649] Colony-forming assays

[0650] Colony-forming unit-megakaryocyte (CFU-MK) assays were performed using CD34+HSPCs or PBMCs from PMF patients that had been cultured for 3 days in expansion medium. A total of 10,000 cells were seeded in MegaCult-C medium supplemented with cytokines (Catalog #04901, STEMCELL Technologies) in the presence of either DMSO (vehicle control) or varying concentrations of menin inhibitors (Compound No. 1 or Ziftomenib). Following incubation for 10-12 days, slides containing MegaCult-C cultures were fixed with a 3: 1 mixture of acetone and methanol. Subsequently, cells were stained using the MegaCult-C Staining Kit (Catalog #04962, STEMCELL Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. CFU-MKs were quantified microscopically using a Leica microscope. Megakaryocyte colonies, defined as clusters comprising three or more red- stained cells, were identified and enumerated as CFU-MKs. Myeloid and erythroid colony assays were performed in the same way, but cells were plated in Stem Cell Technologies H4434 media rather than Mega-Cult-C. Colonies were scored with Stem Vision (Stem Cell Technologies). Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0651] Animal experiments

[0652] MPLW515Lmouse model was generated as described in Wen, Q.J., et al. Targeting megakaryocytic-induced fibrosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms by AURKA inhibition. Nat Med 21, 1473-1480 (2015). Briefly, BALB / c bone marrow progenitor cells were enriched by c-Kit-positive selection and cultured overnight in basal bone marrow media containing murine IL-3 (50ng / pL), murine IL-6 (50ng / pL), and murine SCF (50ng / pL). The next day, the cells were transduced with a retrovirus containing human MPLW515L. On the third day, 8- 10 week old female BALB / c recipient mice (The Jackson Laboratory #000651) that had been irradiated with 900 rads were transplanted with 3 * 105GFP+ transduced bone marrow cells. Recipient mice developed leukocytosis, polycythemia and thrombocytosis in 2-3 weeks.

[0653] For transplantation of Jak2V617F-expressing cells, bone marrow cells from Jak2V617Fknock-in mice (The Jackson Laboratory, #031658) with Vav-Cre-mediated expression of Cre recombinase (The Jackson Laboratory, #008610) were extracted and a total of 2 * 106cells were transplanted into lethally irradiated recipient animals. For the Jak2V617Fmodel, C57BL / 6 bone marrow progenitor cells were enriched by c-Kit-positive selection and cultured overnight. The next day, the cells were transduced with a retrovirus containing human Jak2V617F. On the third day, recipient C57BL / 6 mice (The Jackson Laboratory, #000664) that had been irradiated with 1100 rads were transplanted with 5 * 105GFP+transduced bone marrow cells.

[0654] The MPLS504Nknock-in mouse model was conducted as described in Leukemia. 2022 Oct;36(10):2535-2538.. MPLS504N / S504Nmice were aged to 3 months and then randomized into treatment groups. Control chow, vehicle (Captisol), Compound No. 1, ruxolitinib or a combination ruxolitinib and Compound No. 1 was administered to the transplant recipients by oral gavage twice a day 7 days a week for ruxolitinib and continuously fed Compound No. 1 impregnated chow or control chow. In the drug studies, mice were randomized to treatment groups based on the level of GFP+tumor cells in the peripheral blood, as well as platelet, WBC, hemoglobin, and hematocrit counts. Female mice between 8 and 12 weeks of age were used for all transplantation studies. All animal experiments complied with all relevant ethical regulations regarding animal research.

[0655] Hematology, Tissue Processing and Handling, and Histochemistry

[0656] Whole blood was collected into tubes containing EDTA anticoagulant (BD Microtainer, BD Diagnostics, Franklin Lakes, NJ). Complete blood counts (CBCs) were Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO) performed on a ForCyte Hematology Analyzer (Oxford Science, Inc, Oxford, CT.) After euthanasia, the sternum, and spleen were collected and fixed in 10% neutral -buffered formalin, and the sternum was subsequently decalcified in 10% formic acid. Tissues were embedded in paraffin, sectioned at 4 pm, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE). Reticular fibers in the bone marrow were stained using the Reticulum II Staining Kit (#860- 024, Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN) in conjunction with a BenchMark Special Stains automated instrument (Roche Diagnostics).

[0657] Flow Cytometry Analysis and Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting

[0658] Bone marrow cells were collected and washed with PBS, then resuspended in PBS containing 0.5% BSA and 2 mM EDTA (FACS buffer) to generate single-cell suspensions. Surface marker staining was performed by incubating the cells for 30 minutes in calcium- and magnesium-free PBS with fluorophore-conjugated antibodies. For human cells, staining included antibodies against CD41a (Catalog #559777, BD Biosciences) and CD42a (Catalog #558819, BD Biosciences) to identify megakaryocyte lineage cells. To further delineate megakaryocyte progenitor populations, cells were stained with an anti-human Lineage Cocktail (Catalog #348807, BioLegend) targeting CD3, CD14, CD16, CD19, CD20, and CD56, alongside markers for CD34 (Catalog #343614, BioLegend), CD38 (Catalog #12- 0389-42, Thermo Fisher Scientific), CD123 (Catalog #25-1239-42, Thermo Fisher Scientific), CD45RA (Catalog #45-0458-42, Thermo Fisher Scientific), and CD41a (Catalog #559777, BD Biosciences). This panel enabled the identification of human common myeloid progenitors (CMP), granulocyte-monocyte progenitors (GMP), megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors (MEP), and megakaryocyte progenitors (MKP). MKPs are defined as Lin CD34 CD38 CD I 23 CD45R.A CD4 I a or as described elsewhere in the specification.

[0659] Mouse megakaryocytes were identified by staining with antibodies against CD41a (catalog #133927, BioLegend) and CD42b (catalog #M040-3, Emfret Analytics, Germany). To characterize hematopoietic progenitor populations, bone marrow cells were stained with a Mouse Lineage Antibody Cocktail (catalog #561301, BD Biosciences), containing antibodies against CD3e, CD1 lb, B220, TER-119, and Gr-1 to exclude lineage-positive cells. Concurrently, antibodies targeting c-Kit (catalog #553356, BD Biosciences), Sca-1 (catalog #25-5981-82, Thermo Fisher Scientific), CD41 (catalog #740903, BD Biosciences), CD150 (catalog #115904, BioLegend), and FcyR (catalog #101324, BioLegend) were used to define key progenitor subsets, including LSK, GMP, MEP, and MKPs. Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0660] For DNA content analysis, live human or mouse cells were incubated with Hoechst 33342 (catalog #H3570, Thermo Fisher Scientific) at a final concentration of 10 pg / mL for 1 hour at 37°. Human cells were stained in StemSpan SFEM II medium supplemented with TPO, while mouse cells were stained in StemSpan medium (catalog #9650, STEMCELL Technologies) supplemented with 10 ng / mL mouse recombinant IL-3 (catalog #78042, STEMCELL Technologies), 10 ng / mL human recombinant IL-6 (catalog #78050, STEMCELL Technologies), and 50 ng / mL mouse recombinant stem cell factor (SCF; catalog #78064, STEMCELL Technologies). After staining, cells were washed with PBS and subsequently labeled with surface antibodies for megakaryocyte identification as described above.

[0661] To assess apoptosis, cells were stained with ApoTracker Green (catalog #427402, BioLegend) at a final concentration of 800 nM, according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The apoptotic dye was applied concurrently with surface marker staining, enabling the simultaneous evaluation of apoptosis and cell surface phenotype by flow cytometry.

[0662] For cell cycle analysis, cells were washed once with PBS and stained using the Click- iT Plus EdU Alexa Fluor™ 488 Flow Cytometry Assay Kit (catalog #C 10632, Thermo Fisher Scientific), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, cells were pulsed with EdU to label newly synthesized DNA, then fixed with paraformaldehyde and permeabilized using a saponin-based buffer. EdU incorporation was detected via a Click-iT reaction using Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated azide. After subsequent washes, cells were stained with DAPI to assess total DNA content and resuspended in FACS buffer for flow cytometric analysis. Data were acquired on a BD FACSymphony A3 and analyzed using FlowJo software (version 10.8.2). For DNA content analysis, gating was performed on CD41+ / CD42+populations to identify megakaryocyte-lineage cells.

[0663] To perform single-cell RNA sequencing of human megakaryocytes and megakaryocyte progenitor cells, MEPs were isolated using a BD Symphony S6 cell sorter. Briefly, following a 7-day culture in StemSpan SFEM II medium supplemented with thrombopoietin (TPO), CD34+HSPCs were stained with antibodies against Lineage markers, CD34, CD38, CD123, and CD45RA, as previously described. MEPs, defined as Lin CD34+CD38+CD123 CD45RA , were sorted using a 70 pm nozzle. Cells were maintained at 4°C throughout the procedure and collected into tubes containing PBS supplemented with 2% FBS to preserve viability for downstream single-cell analysis. Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO)

[0664] Single cell RNA sequencing

[0665] MEPs (Lin CD34+CD38+CD123 CD45RA ) were sorted on a BD FACSAria Fusion (BD Biosciences), followed by construction of mRNA expression libraries using the Chromium 10X single cell 3’ reagent v3.1 protocol (10X Genomics). Libraries were sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq paired-end sequencing at a minimum of 50,000 reads per cell. We utilized Cell Ranger (version 7.0.0) to map raw sequencing reads against the GRch38 genome reference, and downstream analysis using Seurat package (version 5.1.0) was based on Cell Ranger outputs. We applied the following quality control criteria to remove unwanted cells: only cells with the number of genes detected per cell > 300 and < 7000, and a percentage of MT transcripts < 20% were included in further analysis. Gene counts were normalized using a log transform function with a scaling factor of 10,000. We selected 2,000 highly variable genes and utilized harmony integration to remove the batch effect and data integration. All Seurat analyses were performed following the Seurat v5 integration tutorial.

[0666] Gene Ontology (GO) Enrichment Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes

[0667] To elucidate the biological processes altered in each cell population, we performed GO enrichment analysis using the DAVID Bioinformatics Resources database (version 6.8). Gene lists were generated for each population identified by scRNA-seq analysis, including MK, MKP, MEP, ERP, CMP, EoBasoMast precursors, and cycling progenitors. Only genes that met the following criteria were included: >1.5-fold change, adjusted p-value < 0.01, expression in at least 10% of cells in either the DMSO or Rev group, and expression in at least 3% of cells in both groups. GO terms with a false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. This analysis highlights functional pathways significantly changed upon treatment, revealing potential disruptions in lineage-specific programs and cellular processes.

[0668] HALO analysis

[0669] Hematoxylin and eosin (HE)-stained sections of mouse sternum were analyzed for quantification of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Digital whole slide images (WSI) were acquired by virtual microscopy (Epredia 3DHistec Panoramic 250 FLASH III Digital Scanner, Kalamazoo, MI). The DenseNet algorithm within the HALO image analysis software (version 3.6; Indica Labs, Albuquerque, NM) was used to create a tissue classifier Attorney Docket No. 43707-02970 / WO (SYND-066 / 001WO) for megakaryocytes, myeloid and erythroid hematopoietic cells, and trabecular bone. A WSI of each sternum was annotated by a veterinary pathologist blinded to the treatment group, analyzed by the trained model, and the results visually confirmed by the pathologist. Data are presented as the percentage of the marrow occupied by megakaryocytes.

[0670] Statistical analyses

[0671] For cell culture experiments, data comparing DMSO to menin inhibitors (Compound No. 1 or Ziftomenib), or non-targeting sgRNA to specific sgRNAs, were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). A paired Student’s t-test was used for comparisons between two groups, while repeated-measures one-way ANOVA was applied for comparisons involving three groups. Paired statistical tests were used because all experiments were conducted in matched conditions. For each biological replicate, control (e.g., DMSO or non-targeting sgRNA) and treatment conditions (menin inhibitor or targeting sgRNA) were processed side by side, starting and ending simultaneously. Experimental values were collected in parallel at the same time point, ensuring that each control-treatment pair was directly comparable within the same experimental run. This design minimizes inter-experimental variability and justifies the use of paired t-tests or repeated-measures ANOVA for statistical analysis. To compare the control chow group with each of three rev chow groups, a linear mixed effect model was used. The model included either a random intercept alone or both random intercept and slope to account for difference in baseline levels and / or varying responses across mice. Normality of the data or residuals of the model was evaluated using Shapiro-Wilk test. A likelihood ratio test was used to compare the model with a random intercept only to that with both a random intercept and slope. False discovery rate adjusted p-values or Q-values were calculated according to standard methods (e.g., as described in Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B. 57, 289-300 (1995)) to correct for multiple comparisons. A Q- value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant; otherwise, P < 0.05 was used for unadjusted analyses. All analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism version 10.
