Efficacy of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitors in a primary mouse model of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Recent advances in sarcoma genomics have identified novel mutations in the PI3K pathway in human sarcomas. Here, we use a mouse model of primary soft-tissue sarcoma for preclinical testing of doxorubicin and inhibitors of the PI3K pathway: BKM120 (PI3K inhibitor) and BEZ235 (a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor). Doxorubicin-treated tumors (n = 15) showed a partial response rate of 6.6%, just as the majority of human sarcomas do not respond to doxorubicin. Treatment with BKM120 elicited a partial response in 50% of tumors (n = 10), which was also seen in combination with doxorubicin (n = 10). Additionally, BKM120 treatment produced a robust delay in tumor growth kinetics. BEZ235-treated tumors (n = 9) showed a complete response rate of 11.1%. Combining BEZ235 with doxorubicin (n = 10) increased the complete response rate to 50% (P = 0.035). These studies demonstrate that PI3K pathway inhibition is a viable and attractive target for soft-tissue sarcomas.

Project description:IntroductionUndifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) can be associated with a relatively dense immune infiltration. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD1, anti-PDL1, and anti-CTLA4) are effective in 20% of UPS patients. We characterize the immune microenvironment of UPS and its association with oncologic outcomes.Material and methodsSurgically resected UPS samples were stained by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the following: tumor-associated immune cells (CD3, CD8, CD163, CD20), immune checkpoints (stimulatory: OX40, ICOS; inhibitory: PD-L1, LAG3, IDO1, PD1), and the adenosine pathway (CD73, CD39). Sections were reviewed for the presence of lymphoid aggregates (LA). Clinical data were retrospectively obtained for all samples. The Wilcoxon rank-sum and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare distributions. Correlations between biomarkers were measured by Spearman correlation. Univariate and multivariate Cox models were used to identify biomarkers associated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Unsupervised clustering was performed, and Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests used for comparison of OS and DFS between immune clusters.ResultsSamples analyzed (n=105) included 46 primary tumors, 34 local recurrences, and 25 metastases. LA were found in 23% (n=10/43), 17% (n=4/24), and 30% (n=7/23) of primary, recurrent, and metastatic samples, respectively. In primary UPS, CD73 expression was significantly higher after preoperative radiation therapy (p=0.009). CD39 expression was significantly correlated with PD1 expression (primary: p=0.002, recurrent: p=0.004, metastatic: p=0.001), PD-L1 expression (primary: p=0.009), and CD3+ cell densities (primary: p=0.016, recurrent: p=0.043, metastatic: p=0.028). In recurrent tumors, there was a strong correlation between CD39 and CD73 (p=0.015), and both were also correlated with CD163+ cell densities (CD39 p=0.013; CD73 p<0.001). In multivariate analyses, higher densities of CD3+ and CD8+ cells (Cox Hazard Ratio [HR]=0.33; p=0.010) were independently associated with OS (CD3+, HR=0.19, p<0.001; CD8+, HR= 0.33, p=0.010) and DFS (CD3+, HR=0.34, p=0.018; CD8+, HR=0.34, p= 0.014). Unsupervised clustering of IHC values revealed three immunologically distinct clusters: immune high, intermediate, and low. In primary tumors, these clusters were significantly associated with OS (log-rank p<0.0001) and DFS (p<0.001).ConclusionWe identified three immunologically distinct clusters of UPS Associated with OS and DFS. Our data support further investigations of combination anti-PD-1/PD-L1 and adenosine pathway inhibitors in UPS.
