    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Uveal melanoma (UM) is a highly aggressive disease with very few treatment options. We previously demonstrated that mUM is characterized by high oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Here we tested the anti-tumor, signaling and metabolic effects of imipridones, which are CLPP activators, which inhibit OXPHOS indirectly and have demonstrated safety in patients. METHODS: We assessed CLPP expression in UM patient samples. We tested the effects of imipridones (ONC201 and ONC212) on the growth, survival, signaling and metabolism of UM cell lines in vitro, and for therapeutic efficacy in vivo in UM liver metastasis models. RESULTS: CLPP expression was detected in primary and mUM patient samples. ONC201 and 212 decreased OXPHOS effectors, inhibited cell growth and migration, and induced apoptosis in human UM cell lines in vitro. ONC212 inhibited OXPHOS, increased metabolic stress and apoptotic pathways, inhibited amino acid metabolism, and induced cell death-related lipids. ONC212 also decreased tumor burden and increased survival in vivo in two UM liver metastasis models. CONCLUSIONS: Imipridones are a promising strategy for further testing and development in mUM.
