Project description:The first clinical trial testing the combination of targeted therapy with a BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib and immunotherapy with a CTLA-4 antibody ipilimumab was terminated early due to significant liver toxicities, possibly due to paradoxical activation of the MAPK pathway by BRAF inhibitors in tumors with wild type BRAF. MEK inhibitors can potentiate the MAPK inhibition in tumor, while potentially alleviating the unwanted paradoxical MAPK activation. With a mouse model of syngeneic BRAFV600E driven melanoma (SM1), we tested whether the addition of the MEK inhibitor trametinib would enhance the immunosensitization effects of the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib. Combination of dabrafenib and trametinib with pmel-1 adoptive cell transfer (ACT) showed complete tumor regression. Bioluminescent imaging and tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) phenotyping showed increased effector infiltration to tumors with dabrafenib, trametinib or dabrafenib plus trametinib with pmel-1 ACT combination. Intracellular IFN gamma staining of the TILs and in vivo cytotoxicity studies showed trametinib was not detrimental to the effector functions in vivo. Dabrafenib increased tumor associated macrophages and T regulatory cells (Tregs) in the tumors, which can be overcome by addition of trametinib. Microarray analysis revealed increased melanoma antigen, MHC expression, and global immune-related gene upregulation with the triple combination therapy. Given the up-regulation of PD-L1 seen with dabrafenib and/or trametinib combined with antigen specific ACT, we tested the triple combination of dabrafenib, trametinib with anti-PD1 therapy, and observed superior anti-tumor effect to SM1 tumors. Our findings support the testing of these combinations in patients with BRAFV600E mutant metastatic melanoma. SM1 tumors were implanted into C57BL/6 mice. Mice were treated by ACT of pmel-1 splenocytes or C57BL/6 splenocytes as control. Pmel-1 treated mice were additionally treated with either vehicle, dabrafenib, trametinib, or combination of both drugs and control mice were treated with vehicle or combination of both drugs.

Project description:Approximately 50% of melanomas harbor an activating BRAFV600E mutation. Standard of care involves a combination of inhibitors targeting mutant BRAF and MEK1/2, the substrate for BRAF in the MAPK pathway. PTEN loss of function mutations occur in 40% of BRAFV600E melanomas, resulting in increased PI3K/AKT activity that enhances resistance to BRAF/MEK combination inhibitor therapy. To compare the response of PTEN null to PTEN wild type cells in an isogenic background, CRISPR was used to knock out PTEN a melanoma cell line that harbors a BRAFV600E mutation. RNA sequencing and functional kinome analysis revealed the loss of PTEN led to an induction of FOXD3 and an increase in expression of the FOXD3 target gene, ERBB3/HER3. Inhibition of BRAF and MEK1/2 in PTEN null, BRAFV600Ecells dramatically induced expression of ERBB3/HER3 relative to wild type cells. A synergy screen of epigenetic modifiers and kinase inhibitors in combination with BRAFi/MEKi identified the pan ERBB/HER inhibitor, neratinib, as reversing the resistance observed in PTEN null, BRAFV600Ecells. The findings indicate that PTEN null BRAFV600E melanoma exhibits increased reliance on ERBB/HER signaling when treated with clinically approved BRAFi/MEKi combinations. Future studies are warranted to test neratinib reversal of resistance in patient melanomas expressing ERBB3/HER3 in combination with its dimerization partner ERBB2/HER2.

To compare the response of PTEN null to PTEN wild type cells in an isogenic background, CRISPR was used to knock out PTEN in the A375 melanoma cell line that harbors a BRAFV600E mutation. Kinome profiling was performed using the parental line and two PTEN KO clones (5 and 11), treated with DMSO, or treated with 100nM dabrafenib and 10nM trametinib for 1 day or for 7 days. PTEN KO cells showed dramatically increased binding of HER3 and AKT3 compared to wild type. The activation of the SOX10-FOXD3-HER3-AKT axis in PTEN KO cells could be targeted with the ERBB/HER inhibitor neratinib.

Project description:The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is one of the most altered pathways in cancer. It is involved in the control of cell proliferation, invasion, metabolism, and resistance to therapy. A number of aggressive malignancies, including melanoma, colon cancer and glioma, are driven by an activating missense mutation (V600E) in one component of the pathway, BRAF. BRAF V600E mutated cancers may respond initially to MEK inhibition, but may develop resistance mediated by increased reliance on mTOR signaling. We have previously demonstrated that the combination of the MEK inhibitor trametinib with the dual mTORC1/2 inhibitor TAK228 improved survival and decreased vascularization in a BRAFV600E mutant glioma model. To elucidate the mechanism of action of, and the changes in response to, MEK and mTOR inhibition, we performed comprehensive unbiased proteomic and phosphoproteomic characterization of BRAFV600E mutant glioma xenografts after short-course treatment with trametinib and TAK228, alone and in combination. We identified distinct response signatures for each monotherapy and combination therapy and validated that combination treatment inhibited activation of the MAPK and mTOR pathways, increased apoptotic signaling and suppressed angiogenesis signaling. Furthermore, we found that trametinib and TAK228 combination treatment broadly suppressed the activity of the cyclin-dependent kinases and increased the levels of proteins (and their activating phosphorylations) involved in glycolysis, the TCA cycle, nucleotide biosynthesis and DNA replication. We also demonstrated activation of both receptor tyrosine kinase and histone deacetylase proteins. This study reports a detailed (phospho)proteomic analysis of the response of BRAFV600E mutant glioma to combined MEK and mTOR pathway inhibition and identifies a number of targetable upregulated proteins and pathways, providing new avenues for the development of additional rational combination therapies for aggressive BRAF-driven tumors.
