Project description:Low-dose regorafenib (5 mg/kg/day, corresponding to about half of human clinical dosage) inhibited tumor growth and angiogenesis in vivo similarly to DC-101 (anti-VEGFR antibody) but produced higher T cell activation and M1 macrophage polarization, Regorafenib increased M1/M2 ratio of BMDMs polarization and proliferation/activation of co-cultured T cells in vitro, indicating angiogenesis-independent immunomodulatory effects. Suppression of p38 kinase phosphorylation and downstream CREB-KLF4 activity in BMDMs by regorafenib reversed M2 polarization. Regorafenib enhanced antitumor efficacy of adoptively transferred antigen-specific T cells, whereas macrophage deletion negated regorafenib’s antitumor effects. Synergistic antitumor efficacy between low-dose regorafenib and anti-PD1 was associated with multiple immune-related pathways in the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major therapeutic challenge, with limited long-term benefits from treatments such as regorafenib due to their efficacy and adverse effects. Proteoglycan-4 (PRG4) has previously shown promise in enhancing anti-proliferative effects of multi-kinase inhibitors in simple in vitro two-dimensional (2D) HCC models. Objective: We evaluated the adjuvant effect of PRG4 in enhancing regorafenib’s anti-tumor efficacy in preclinical more complex in vitro three-dimensional (3D) HCC tumoroids, and in vivo HCC models. Design: HLC19 and HLF HCC cell lines were engineered to stably overexpress PRG4. Anti-proliferative effects of PRG4, either alone or in combination with regorafenib, were evaluated in 2D monolayers, 3D Matrigel embedded spheroids and orthotopic xenograft mouse models established via HCC cells intrahepatic injection. RNA sequencing was done to assess the transcriptomic profiles of PRG4 overexpressing spheroids. Results: PRG4 expression partially inhibited HCC tumor growth in vivo, but enhanced regorafenib treatment leading to a near-complete tumor regression. PRG4 expression significantly impaired cell growth in both 2D and 3D HCC models in vitro. In an angiogenesis in vitro model, PRG4 hindered endothelial tubulogenesis both alone and in combination with regorafenib. By transcriptomic analysis of matrigel-embedded HCC cell spheroids exposed to PRG4 and/or regorafenib, PDGF pathway emerged as a target of PRG4 + regorafenib, corroborating the role of PRG4 in impairing angiogenesis. G0/G1 phase of cell cycle resulted more delayed in spheroids exposed to PRG4 and regorafenib than those treated with regorafenib only, compared to untreated cells. Conclusions: PRG4 enhances the anti-tumor activity of regorafenib across various HCC models. These findings support PRG4 as a promising adjuvant candidate to improve clinical outcomes in HCC.

Project description:Background and purpose: Combining inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor and the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) pathway has shown efficacy in multiple cancers, but the disease-specific and agent-specific mechanisms of benefit remain unclear. We examined the efficacy and defined the mechanisms of benefit when combining regorafenib (a multikinase antivascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor) with PD1 blockade in murine hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) models. Basic procedures: We used orthotopic models of HCC in mice with liver damage to test the effects of regorafenib-dosed orally at 5, 10 or 20 mg/kg daily-combined with anti-PD1 antibodies (10 mg/kg intraperitoneally thrice weekly). We evaluated the effects of therapy on tumor vasculature and immune microenvironment using immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, RNA-sequencing, ELISA and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies in mice and in tissue and blood samples from patients with cancer. Main findings: Regorafenib/anti-PD1 combination therapy increased survival compared with regofarenib or anti-PD1 alone in a regorafenib dose-dependent manner. Combination therapy increased regorafenib uptake into the tumor tissues by normalizing the HCC vasculature and increasing CD8 T-cell infiltration and activation at an intermediate regorafenib dose. The efficacy of regorafenib/anti-PD1 therapy was compromised in mice lacking functional T cells (Rag1-deficient mice). Regorafenib treatment increased the transcription and protein expression of CXCL10-a ligand for CXCR3 expressed on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes-in murine HCC and in blood of patients with HCC. Using Cxcr3-deficient mice, we demonstrate that CXCR3 mediated the increased intratumoral CD8 T-cell infiltration and the added survival benefit when regorafenib was combined with anti-PD1 therapy. Principal conclusions: Judicious regorafenib/anti-PD1 combination therapy can inhibit tumor growth and increase survival by normalizing tumor vasculature and increasing intratumoral CXCR3+CD8 T-cell infiltration through elevated CXCL10 expression in HCC cells.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with its incidence continuing to rise. Regorafenib, a multi-kinase inhibitor approved as a palliative treatment, extends survival in patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) who have failed standard therapies. However, the clinical benefit of regorafenib is limited to a subset of patients, is typically short-lived, and is often accompanied by significant toxicity. The mechanisms by which CRC cells develop resistance to regorafenib remain poorly understood.In this study, we investigated resistance mechanisms to regorafenib using a preclinical mouse colon organoid model. Transcriptomic analysis of Apc wild-type and Apc-deficient organoids treated with regorafenib revealed an upregulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), accompanied by alterations in the secretome and increased activation of phosphorylated Erk1/2. Notably, co-treatment with an autophagy inhibitor suppressed regorafenib-induced EMT and its associated secretory phenotype, resulting in reduced cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis in mouse organoids. The effectiveness of this drug combination was further supported by cell viability assays in human CRC cell lines. In contrast, primary mouse colon fibroblasts displayed greater resistance to both single-agent and combination regorafenib treatments. In summary, our findings using a preclinical organoid model suggest that autophagy inhibition may offer a promising strategy to mitigate chemoresistance and reduce toxicity associated with regorafenib treatment in mCRC patients.

Project description:PD-1 blockade has demonstrated impressive clinical outcomes in colorectal cancers that have high microsatellite instability. However, the therapeutic efficacy for patients with tumors with low microsatellite instability or stable microsatellites needs further improvement. Here, we have demonstrated that low-dose decitabine could increase the expression of immune-related genes such as major histocompatibility complex genes and cytokine-related genes as well as the number of lymphocytes at the tumor site in CT26 colorectal cancer-bearing mice. A more significant inhibition of tumor growth and a prolongation of survival were observed in the CT26 mouse model after treatment with a combination of PD-1 blockade and decitabine than in mice treated with decitabine or PD-1 blockade alone. The anti-tumor effect of the PD-1 blockade was enhanced by low-dose decitabine. The results of RNA sequencing and whole-genome bisulfite sequencing of decitabine-treated CT26 cells and tumor samples with microsatellite stability from the patient tumor-derived xenograft model have shown that many immune-related genes, including antigen processing and antigen-presenting genes, were upregulated, whereas the promoter demethylation was downregulated after decitabine exposure. Therefore, decitabine-based tumor microenvironment re-modulation could improve the effect of the PD-1 blockade. The application of decitabine in PD-1 blockade-based immunotherapy may elicit more potent immune responses, which can provide clinical benefits to the colorectal cancer patients with low microsatellite instability or stable microsatellites.
