Project description:Kinase hyperactivity is a common driver of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and serves as a therapeutic target. The most frequent genetic aberration leading to hyperactive kinase signaling and poor prognosis is internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the FMS-tyrosine-like Kinase 3-gene (FLT3). FLT3-ITD induces ligand independent activation of FLT3 and downstream pathways leading to proliferation, decreased apoptosis and partial differentiation block. Combined with chemotherapy, FLT3-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (FLT3-TKI) midostaurin improves overall survival (OS) of newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML patients, whereas single agent gilteritinib proved superior to chemotherapy in relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated AML patients . As the primary targets of currently approved FLT3-TKIs are tyrosine (Y) kinases, we hypothesized that direct evaluation of tyrosine phosphorylation status could reveal pY phosphorylation profiles associated with FLT3-TKI response. Therefore, we used label-free pTyr-based phosphoproteomics in 35 primary AML samples (18 FLT3-WT, 17 FLT3-ITD), to identify differentially phosphorylated proteins underlying response to the FLT3-TKIs gilteritinib and midostaurin. We identified a total of 3024 unique phosphosites (median 1299 per sample, range 286 – 1612, pS:pT:pY 11.9%:9.5%:78.6%). Due to low number of identified phosphosites, we excluded two samples from further analyses. On the remaining 33 samples, we additionally performed IMAC global phosphoproteomics and on 17 samples protein expression analysis.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) carrying internal tandem duplication (ITD) of Fms-Like Tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene is associated with high risk of relapse and poor clinical outcome upon treatment with conventional chemotherapy. FLT3 inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of this AML subtype but leukaemia relapse remains to be a major cause of treatment failure. Mechanisms of drug resistance have been proposed, including evolution of resistant leukaemic clones; adaptive cellular mechanisms and a protective leukaemic microenvironment. These models have provided important leads that may inform design of clinical trials. Clinically, FLT3 inhibitors in combination with conventional chemotherapy as induction treatment for fit patients; with low-intensity treatment as salvage treatment or induction for unfit patients as well as maintenance treatment with FLT3 inhibitors post HSCT hold promise to improve survival in this AML subtype.

Project description:Patients with FLT3-mutated AML have a high relapse rate and suboptimal outcomes. Many have co-mutations suitable for measurable residual disease (MRD) monitoring by RT-qPCR and those destined to relapse can be identified by high or rising levels of MRD, called molecular failure. This provides a window for pre-emptive intervention, but there is little evidence to guide treatment. The use of FLT3 inhibitors (FLT3i) appears attractive but their use has not yet been evaluated. We identified 56 patients treated with FLT3i at molecular failure. The FLT3 mutation was an ITD in 52, TKD in 7 and both in 3. Over half of patients had previously received midostaurin. Molecular failure occurred at a median 9.2 months from diagnosis and was treated with gilteritinib (n = 38), quizartinib (n = 7) or sorafenib (n = 11). 60% achieved a molecular response, with 45% reaching MRD negativity. Haematological toxicity was low, and 22 patients were bridged directly to allogeneic transplant with another 6 to donor lymphocyte infusion. 2-year overall survival was 80% (95%CI 69-93) and molecular event-free survival 56% (95%CI 44-72). High-sensitivity next-generation sequencing for FLT3-ITD at molecular failure identified patients more likely to benefit. FLT3i monotherapy for molecular failure is a promising strategy which merits evaluation in prospective studies.

Project description:FLT3-ITD tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) show limited clinical activity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to emerging resistance. TKI resistance is mediated by secondary FLT3-ITD mutations only in a minority of cases. We hypothesize that the cytokine CCL5 protects AML cells from TKI-mediated cell death and contributes to treatment resistance. We generated PKC412- and sorafenib-resistant MOLM-13 cell lines as an in vitro model to study TKI resistance in AML. Increased CCL5 levels were detected in supernatants from PKC412-resistant cell lines compared to TKI-sensitive cells. Moreover, CCL5 treatment of TKI-sensitive cells induced resistance to PKC412. In resistant cell lines with high CCL5 release, we observed a significant downregulation of the CCL5-receptor CCR5 and CXCR4. In these cell lines, TKI resistance could be partly overcome by addition of the CXCR4-receptor antagonist plerixafor. Microarray and intracellular flow cytometry analyses revealed increased p-Akt or p-Stat5 levels in PKC412-resistant cell lines releasing high amounts of CCL5. Treatment with the CXCR4 antagonist plerixafor, αCCL5, or CCR5-targeting siRNA led to a decrease of p-Akt-positive cells. Transient transfection of sensitive MOLM-13 cells with a CCL5-encoding vector mediated resistance against PKC412 and led to an increase in p-Akt-positive and p-Stat5-positive cells. Isolated AML blasts from patients treated with PKC412 revealed that CCL5 transcript levels increase significantly at relapse. Taken together, our findings indicate that CCL5 mediates resistance to FLT3-TKIs in FLT3-ITD-mutated AML and could possibly serve as a biomarker to predict drug resistance.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal hematopoietic malignancy, characterized by expansion of immature leukemic blasts in the bone marrow. In AML, specific tyrosine kinases have been implicated in leukemogenesis, and are associated with poor treatment outcome. However, targeted therapy using kinase inhibitors (KIs) has had limited success, and may be improved by proper patient selection. We performed phosphotyrosine (pY) based, label-free phosphoproteomics to identify hyperphosphorylated, active kinases in two FLT3+ AML Pt samples.

Project description:FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations are one of the most frequently encountered genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and are generally associated with unfavorable outcomes. Several tools are currently available to provide an accurate prognosis for patients with these mutations, including FLT3 mutation type (internal tandem duplication versus tyrosine kinase domain), mutation allelic ratio (high versus low), and concurrent nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1) mutation, to help decide on optimal treatment. Recent advances in targeted therapies have paved the way for modern treatment strategies, such as the development of FLT3 kinase inhibitors. These novel drugs can be incorporated into any treatment component, including induction and consolidation, the relapse/refractory setting, bridging for transplant, salvage post-transplant, and as prophylactic long-term post-transplant maintenance. Many challenges remain though, such as their intolerability with high-dose chemotherapy in frail patients; whether their optimal use involves watchful waiting for molecular or hematologic relapse compared with prophylactic use as maintenance; and the exact role and indication for allogeneic stem cell transplantation, which arguably remains the only curative option for these high-risk patients.

Project description:Given the proven importance of the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis in the stroma-acute myeloid leukemia (AML) interactions and the rapid emergence of resistance to FLT3 inhibitors, we investigated the efficacy and safety of a novel CXCR4 inhibitor, LY2510924, in combination with FLT3 inhibitors in preclinical models of AML with FLT3-ITD mutations (FLT3-ITD-AML). Quizartinib, a potent FLT3 inhibitor, induced apoptosis in FLT3-ITD-AML, while LY2510924 blocked surface CXCR4 without inducing apoptosis. LY2510924 significantly reversed stroma-mediated resistance against quizartinib mainly through the MAPK pathway. In mice with established FLT3-ITD-AML, LY2510924 induced durable mobilization and differentiation of leukemia cells, resulting in enhanced anti-leukemia effects when combined with quizartinib, whereas transient effects were seen on non-leukemic blood cells in immune-competent mice. Sequencing of the transcriptome of the leukemic cells surviving in vivo treatment with quizartinib and LY2510924 revealed that genes related to TGF-b signaling may confer resistance against the drug combination. In co-culture experiments of FLT3-ITD-AML and stromal cells, both silencing of TGF-b in stromal cells or TGF-b-receptor kinase inhibitor enhanced apoptosis by combined treatment. Disruption of the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis in FLT3-ITD-AML by LY2510924 and its negligible effects on normal immunocytes could safely enhance the potency of quizartinib, which may be further improved by blockade of TGF-b signaling.
