摘要：

Emerging evidence suggests that genetically highly specific triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) possesses a relatively uniform transcriptional program that is abnormally dependent on cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7). In this study, we obtained an inhibitor of CDK7, N76-1, by attaching the side chain of the covalent CDK7 in-hibitor THZ1 to the core of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor ceritinib. This study aimed to elucidate the role and underlying mechanism of N76-1 in TNBC and evaluate its potential value as an anti-TNBC drug. The results of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and colony formation assays showed that N76-1 inhibited the viability of TNBC cells. Kinase activity and cellular thermal shift assays showed that N76-1 directly targeted CDK7. Flow cytometry results revealed that N76-1 induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase. N76-1 also effectively inhibited the migration of TNBC cells by high-content detection. The RNA-seq analysis showed that the transcription of genes, especially those related to transcriptional regu-lation and cell cycle, was suppressed after N76-1 treatment. Moreover, N76-1 markedly inhibited the growth of TNBC xenografts and phosphorylation of RNAPII in tumor tissues. In summary, N76-1 exerts potent anticancer effects in TNBC by inhibiting CDK7 and provides a new strategy and research basis for the development of new drugs for TNBC.
