3-Phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 drives acquired resistance to osimertinib.

ABSTRACT: Osimertinib sensitive and resistant NSCLC NCI-H1975 clones are used to model osimertinib acquired resistance in humanized and non-humanized mice and delineate potential resistance mechanisms. No new EGFR mutations or loss of the EGFR T790M mutation are found in resistant clones. Resistant tumors grown under continuous osimertinib pressure both in humanized and non-humanized mice show aggressive tumor regrowth which is significantly less sensitive to osimertinib as compared with parental tumors. 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) is identified as a potential driver of osimertinib acquired resistance, and its selective inhibition by BX795 and CRISPR gene knock out, sensitizes resistant clones. In-vivo inhibition of PDK1 enhances the osimertinib sensitivity against osimertinib resistant xenograft and a patient derived xenograft (PDX) tumors. PDK1 knock-out dysregulates PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, promotes cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. Yes-associated protein (YAP) and active-YAP are upregulated in resistant tumors, and PDK1 knock-out inhibits nuclear translocation of YAP. Higher expression of PDK1 and an association between PDK1 and YAP are found in patients with progressive disease following osimertinib treatment. PDK1 is a central upstream regulator of two critical drug resistance pathways: PI3K/AKT/mTOR and YAP.

Project description:Osimertinib (OSI) is the first FDA-approved third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It can be used for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating EGFR mutation and for patients who are resistant to first-generation EGFR TKIs due to T790M resistance mutation. However, patients treated with OSI ultimately develop acquired resistance, which prevents its long-term benefit for patients. Therefore, the development of effective strategies to overcome OSI resistance will address a significant clinical challenge and benefit patients by prolonging their survival time. Our previous studies indicated that combination therapy was a promising strategy for overcoming OSI resistance. In this study, we developed nanoparticle (NP) formulations for co-delivery of osimertinib (OSI) and selumetinib (SEL) to treat OSI-resistant NSCLC effectively. We conjugated SEL with PEG through a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive linker to generate polyethylene glycol (PEG)-SEL conjugate prodrug (PEG-S-SEL). Due to the amphiphilic nature of PEG-S-SEL, it can self-assemble in an aqueous solution to form micelle NP and serve as a delivery carrier for OSI. The ROS-responsive linker can facilitate the release of drugs in the tumor microenvironment with elevated ROS levels. OSI and SEL combination NP can overcome OSI resistance by simultaneously inhibiting both EGFR and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK), thus effectively inducing apoptosis in OSI-resistant NSCLC cells and inhibiting OSI-resistant tumors in vivo. In conclusion, the OSI+SEL NP combination therapy showed promising anticancer efficacy and demonstrated potential for treating NSCLC patients with OSI acquired resistance. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Osimertinib (OSI) is the first FDA-approved third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It has been successfully used for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating EGFR mutation. However, patients treated with OSI ultimately develop acquired resistance. This study developed OSI and selumetinib (SEL) co-delivering nanoparticles to overcome OSI-acquired resistance in NSCLC. PEG-SEL conjugate functions as reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive prodrug and forms micelle nanoparticles through self-assembly to deliver OSI. The combination NP can simultaneously inhibit EGFR and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK), thus effectively inducing apoptosis in OSI-resistant NSCLC cells. In summary, the OSI and SEL nanoparticle combination therapy showed promising anticancer efficacy and demonstrated potential for treating NSCLC patients with OSI acquired resistance.
