Project description:Introduction: The clinical benefit of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating EGFR mutations is temporary, as virtually all patients develop acquired EGFR TKI resistance that occurs via diverse mechanisms. Here, we identified increased FGFR1 expression as such a resistance mechanism and using pathways analysis and drug combination testing we identified a novel combination treatment to control growth of these resistant tumors. Methods: Novel erlotinib-resistant NSCLC cell lines were generated and analyzed by mass spectrometry-based proteomics to identify altered pathways associated with erlotinib resistance. The altered pathways were further analyzed in gefitinib and osibenib resistant cell lines. Small molecule inhibitor combinations were used to block the altered pathways and investigate growth reduction in vitro and in two xenograft mouse models. FGFR1 mRNA levels were examined in pre- and (post?)- EGFR TKI treatment clinical tumor samples. Results: Proteomic analysis revealed increased expression of FGFR1 and AXL as well as increased Akt and ERK1/2 activation in a panel of novel erlotinib-resistant HCC827 cell lines. Combined treatment with erlotinib or osimertinib and a panel of small molecule inhibitors targeting AXL/MET, FGFRs, Akt, PI3K/mTOR, MEK or ERK1/2 showed that the most prominent re-sensitization to EGFR TKI occurred with the pan-FGFR inhibitor, PD173074. Interestingly, simultaneous blockade of components of the Akt pathway using specific Akt or dual PI3K-mTOR inhibitors combined with inhibitors targeting the FGFR family exhibited the most efficient growth inhibition of FGFR1 overexpressing EGFR TKI-resistant cell lines. Phosphorylation of proteins downstream of Akt, including PRAS40, FOXO and S6 ribosomal protein, were completely abrogated by PD173074 combined with the Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 . Combination treatment with PD173074 and an Akt inhibitor exhibited synergistic growth inhibition in vivo in two FGFR1 overexpressing NSCLC EGFR TKI-resistant animal models. Conclusion: The significant growth inhibition in vitro and in vivo observed with PD173074 combined with Akt compared to either drug alone imply that inhibition of several key targets may be beneficial in controlling erlotinib-resistant NSCLC. The complete abrogation of PRAS40, FOXO and S6 phosphorylations by PD173074 combined with an Akt inhibitor indicates that the Akt pathway is no longer active.

Project description:Acquired resistance (AR) is a major hurdle in lung cancer treatment and it is an important drawback in tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)-based therapeutics. In this context, it is important to unravel the molecular determinants underlying this phenomenon. Our results show molecularly different clones arising during AR to the MET-TKI, many of them involving sensitivity to erlotinib, which supports the known biological crosstalk between MET and the HER-family of receptors. We have also identified inactivation of NF2 in one of the erlotinib-resistant clones. Collectively our findings evidence that AR promote the expansion of multiple subclonal populations with distinct genetic and molecular characteristics highlighting the importance of considering combinatorial therapeutics when designing strategies for second-line treatments in TKI-treated lung cancer patients.

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths, worldwide. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene amplification is one of the most prominent and potentially targetable genetic alterations in squamous cell lung cancer (SQCLC). Highly selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been developed to target FGFR1, however, resistance mechanisms originally existing in patients or acquired throughout treatment have limited treatment efficiency in clinical trials, so far. In this study, we performed a wide-scale phosphoproteomic mass spectrometry analysis to explore signaling pathways that lead to FGFR1 inhibition resistance in lung cancer cells with intrinsic, induced and mutational resistance. We identified a CD44/AKT signaling axis as a new and common mechanism of resistance to FGFR1 inhibition in lung cancer. Co-inhibition of AKT or CD44 synergistically sensitized intrinsic and induced resistant cells to FGFR1 inhibition. Furthermore, strong CD44 expression was significantly correlated to AKT activation in squamous cell lung cancer patients. Collectively, our phosphoproteomic analysis of FGFR1 inhibitor resistant lung cancer cells promotes a large data library of resistance associated phosphorylation patterns and proposes a common resistance pathway consisting of CD44 and AKT activation. Examination of CD44/AKT activation could help to predict response to FGFR1 inhibition and combination with AKT inhibitors might path the way for an effective therapy of FGFR1 dependent lung cancer patients in case of treatment resistance.

Project description:The onset of secondary resistance represents a major limitation to long term efficacy of target therapies in cancer patients. Thus, the identification of mechanisms mediating secondary resistance is key to the rational design of alternative therapeutic strategies for resistant patients. MiRNA profiling combined with RNA-seq in MET-addicted gastric and lung cancer cell lines led us to identify the miR-205/ERRFI1 (ERBB receptor feedback inhibitor-1) axis as a novel mediator of resistance to MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). In cells resistant to MET-TKIs, increased miR-205 expression determined the downregulation of the EGFR inhibitor ERRFI1, which, in turn, caused EGFR activation and MET-TKI resistance. MiR-205/ERRFI1 driven EGFR activation rendered MET-TKI resistant cells sensitive to combined MET/EGFR inhibition. As a proof of concept of the clinical relevance of this newly identified mechanism of adaptive resistance, we report that a patient with a MET amplified lung adenocarcinoma displayed deregulation of the miR-205/ERRFI1 axis in concomitance with the onset of clinical resistance to anti-MET therapy.

Project description:Previous study has demonstrated that HCC827/gef cells are resistant to gefitinib-induced aspoptosis. To investigate the regulators contributed to gefitinib resistance in lung cancer, we analyzed the gene expression profiles between HCC827 andHCC827/gef cells. Reduced IGFBP7 in TKI-resistant cells reversed resistance to EGFR-TKIs, and increased EGFR-TKI-induced apoptosis through up-regulation of BIM and activation of caspases. Suppression of IGFBP7 attenuated phosphorylation of IGF-IR and downstream AKT in TKI-resistant cells.

Project description:Despite initial and often dramatic responses of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-addicted lung tumors to the EGFR-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), gefitinib and erlotinib, nearly all develop resistance and relapse. To explore novel mechanisms mediating acquired resistance, we employed non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines bearing activating mutations in EGFR and rendered them resistant to EGFR-specific TKIs through chronic adaptation in tissue culture. In addition to previously observed resistance mechanisms including EGFR-T790M 'gate-keeper' mutations and MET amplification, a subset of the seven chronically adapted NSCLC cell lines including HCC4006, HCC2279 and H1650 cells exhibited marked induction of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 2 and FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) mRNA and protein. Also, adaptation to EGFR-specific TKIs was accompanied by an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) as assessed by changes in CDH1, VIM, ZEB1 and ZEB2 expression and altered growth properties in Matrigel. In adapted cell lines exhibiting increased FGF2 and FGFR1 expression, measures of growth and signaling, but not EMT, were blocked by FGFR-specific TKIs, an FGF-ligand trap and FGFR1 silencing with RNAi. In parental HCC4006 cells, cell growth was strongly inhibited by gefitinib, although drug-resistant clones progress within 10 days. Combined treatment with gefitinib and AZD4547, an FGFR-specific TKI, prevented the outgrowth of drug-resistant clones. Thus, induction of FGF2 and FGFR1 following chronic adaptation to EGFR-specific TKIs provides a novel autocrine receptor tyrosine kinase-driven bypass pathway in a subset of lung cancer cell lines that are initially sensitive to EGFR-specific TKIs. The findings support FGFR-specific TKIs as potentially valuable additions to existing targeted therapeutic strategies with EGFR-specific TKIs to prevent or delay acquired resistance in EGFR-driven NSCLC. Examination of mRNA levels in DMSO and gefitinib-resistant cultures of HCC4006 and HCC827. Each group has two replicates.

Project description:Aberrant overexpression or activation of EGFR drives the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and acquired resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) by secondary EGFR mutations or c-MET amplification/activation remains as a major hurdle for NSCLC treatment. We previously identified WDR4 as a substrate adaptor of Cullin 4 ubiquitin ligase and an association of WDR4 high expression with poor prognosis of lung cancer. Here, using an unbiased ubiquitylome analysis, we uncover PTPN23, a component of the ESCRT complex, as a substrate of WDR4- based ubiquitin ligase. WDR4-mediated PTPN23 ubiquitination leads to its proteasomal degradation, thereby suppressing lysosome trafficking and degradation of wild type EGFR, EGFR mutant, and c-MET. Through this mechanism, WDR4 sustains EGFR and c-MET signaling to promote NSCLC proliferation, migration, invasion, stemness, and metastasis. Clinically, PTPN23 is downregulated in lung cancer and its low expression correlates with WDR4 high expression and poor prognosis. Targeting WDR4-mediated PTPN23 ubiquitination by a peptide that competes with PTPN23 for binding WDR4 promotes EGFR and c-MET degradation to block the growth and progression of EGFR TKI-resistant NSCLC. These findings identify a central role of WDR4/PTPN23 axis in EGFR and c-MET trafficking and a potential therapeutic target for treating EGFR TKI-resistant NSCLC.

Project description:Purpose: MET is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that has been considered a druggable target in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To understand the mechanisms of resistance to MET-TKIs and establish therapeutic strategies, we developed an in vitro model using capmatinib-resistant cell lines (EBC-CR1, CR2, and CR3) derived from the MET-amplified NSCLC cell line EBC-1. Methods: We established capmatinib-resistant NSCLC cell lines from the MET-amplified NSCLC cell line EBC-1 and identified alternative signaling pathways using 3’mRNA sequencing and human phospho-RTK arrays. Copy number alterations were evaluated by quantitative PCR and cell proliferation assay; activation of RTKs and downstream effectors were compared between the parental cell line EBC-1 and the EBC-CR1, -CR2, and -CR3 resistant cell lines. Results: We found that epidermal growth factor (EGFR) mRNA expression and protein activation were increased in EBC-CR1–3 cells compared to EBC-1 cells. EBC-CR1 cells showed EGFR-dependent growth and sensitivity to afatinib, an irreversible EGFR TKI. EBC-CR2 cells, which overexpressed the EGFR-MET heterodimer, responded dramatically to the combination of capmatinib and the phosphoinositide-3 kinase catalytic subunit α (PIK3CA) inhibitor afatinib. In addition, EBC-CR3 cells, which had activated EGFR along with amplified PIK3CA, were sensitive to the combination of afatinib and the PI3Kα inhibitor. Conclusions: Our in vitro studies suggested that activation of EGFR signaling and/or genetic alteration of downstream effectors like PIK3CA were alternative resistance mechanisms used by capmatinib-resistant NSCLC cell lines. In addition, combined treatments with MET, EGFR, and PI3Kα inhibitors may be an effective therapeutic strategy in MET-TKI-resistant NSCLC patients.

Project description:Activation of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signaling through mutations, amplifications, or fusions involving FGFR1, 2, 3, or 4 are seen in multiple tumors including lung, bladder, and cholangiocarcinoma. Currently, several clinical trials are evaluating the role of novel FGFR inhibitors in solid tumors. As we move forward with FGFR inhibitors clinically, we anticipate emergence of resistance with treatment. Consequently, we sought to study the mechanism(s) of acquired resistance to FGFR inhibitors using annotated cancer cell lines. We identified cancer cell lines that have activating mutations in FGFR1, 2, or 3, and treated them chronically with the selective FGFR inhibitor, BGJ398. We observed resistance to chronic BGJ398 exposure in DMS114 (small cell lung cancer, FGFR1 amplification), and RT112 (urothelial carcinoma, FGFR3 fusion/amplification) cell lines based on viability assays. Reverse phase protein array (RPPA) analysis showed increased phosphorylation of Akt (T308 and S473) and its downstream target GSK3 (S9 and S21) in both the resistant cell lines when compared to matching controls. Results of RPPA were confirmed using immunoblots. Consequently, the addition of an Akt inhibitor (GSK2141795) or siRNA was able to restore sensitivity to BGJ398 in resistant cell lines. These data suggest a role for Akt pathway in mediating acquired resistance to FGFR inhibition.
