Project description:FGFR signalling is one of the most prominent pathways involved in cell growth and development, as well as cancer progression. FGFR1 amplification occurs in approximately 20% of all squamous cell lung carcinomas (SCC) - one of the most common subtypes of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), indicating FGFR as a potential target for the new anti-cancer therapies. However, acquired resistance to this type of therapies remains a clinical issue. Here, we investigated the NSCLC cell lines response and potential mechanism of acquired resistance to novel selective FGFR inhibitor CPL304110. We found that despite significant genomic differences between CPL304110-sensitive cell lines, their resistant variants were characterized by upregulated p38 expression/phosphorylation, as well as enhanced expression of genes involved in MAPK signalling. We revealed that p38 inhibition restored sensitivity to CPL304110 in these cells. Moreover, overexpression of this kinase in parental cells led to impaired response to FGFR inhibition, thus confirming that p38 MAPK is a driver of resistance to a novel FGFR inhibitor. Taken together, our results provide an insight into the potential direction for NSCLC targeted therapy.

Project description:A subset of triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) are characterized by genetic alterations in fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) including amplifications, activating mutations or gene fusions. However, despite this genetic evidence of FGFR-dependency, FGFR inhibitors have shown only limited clinical efficacy in TNBC, suggesting the presence of intrinsic or adaptive resistance mechanisms. Using genome-wide CRISPR screens, we found that resistance to FGFR inhibition is mediated by activation of the mTORC1 and YAP pathways. Prolonged FGFR inhibition increased expression of several amino acid transporters resulting in increased cellular level of certain amino acids and activation of the mTORC1 amino acid sensing pathway. Epigenomic analyses revealed that FGFR inhibition reorganized YAP/TEAD associated enhancers leading to the upregulation of YAP target genes including the amino acid transporters upstream of mTORC1. Remarkably, mTORC1 and FGFR inhibitors synergistically blocked the growth of TNBC cells in vitro and in patient-derived xenografts. These findings define a novel epigenetic feedback mechanism involving intracellular amino acid levels leading to targeted therapy resistance in TNBC, and offers a combinatorial drug treatment strategy to improve clinical outcomes for this aggressive breast cancer subtype.

Project description:We have shown that in PNT1a cells expressing exogenous FGFR4 Arg388 or Gly388 under the control of the EF1 promoter almost all FGFR signaling can be attributed to the transfected receptor, and the two FGFR-4 isoforms are expressed at equivalent levels in the two cell lines. Furthermore, we have shown that serum contains abundant FGFs capable of activating FGFR-4 so these initial experiments were carried out in serum to mimic physiological conditions. In such conditions the Arg388 expressing PNT1a cells display increased invasiveness and motility compared to Gly388 expressing cells. FGFR-4 Arg388 allele shows increased receptor stability and sustained receptor activation following ligand binding when compared to the Gly388 allele. However, the impact of this sustained signaling on cellular signal transduction pathways is unknown. We therefore analyzed the effect of FGFR-4 Arg388 expression on signal transduction in prostatic epithelial cells. We have found that expression of the FGFR-4 Arg388 allele leads to increased activity of the MAPK pathway, increased activity of serum response factor and AP1 and transcription of multiple genes which are correlated with aggressive clinical behavior in prostate cancer. Keywords: two group comparison To further understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of increased cell motility and invasiveness in Arg388 expressing cells, microarray studies of biological duplicates were performed on FGFR4 Arg388 and Gly388 expressing PNT1a cells using Agilent 44k whole genome expression microarrays to identify the effector genes that may be responsible for phenotypic differences between the two variants.

Project description:The human fibroblast growth factor/fibroblast growth factor-receptor (FGF/FGFR) axis deregulation is largely involved in supporting the pathogenesis of hematologic malignancies, including Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia (WM). WM is still an incurable disease, and patients succumb due to disease progression. Therefore, novel therapeutics designed to specifically target deregulated signaling pathways in WM are required. We aimed to investigate the role of FGF/FGFR blocking system in WM by using a pan-FGF trap molecule (NSC12). Wide-transcriptome profiling confirmed inhibition of FGFR-signaling in NSC12-treated WM cells; unveiling a significant inhibition of Myd88 also confirmed at protein level. Importantly, the NSC12-dependent silencing of Myd88 was functionally active, as it led to inhibition of Myd88-driven pathways, such as BTK and SYK, as well as the Myd88-downstream target HCK. Of note, both canonical and non-canonical NFB cascades were down-regulated in WM cells upon NSC12 treatment. Functional sequelae exerted by NSC12 in WM cells were studied, demonstrating significant inhibition of WM cell growth, induction of WM cell apoptosis, halting MAPK, JAK/STAT3 and PI3K-Akt pathways. Importantly, NSC12 exerted an anti-WM effect even in the presence of bone marrow microenvironment, both in vitro and in vivo. Our studies provide the evidence for using NSC12 as a specific FGF/FGFR system inhibitor, thus representing a novel therapeutic strategy in WM.
