Project description:The majority of EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinomas respond well to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, most of these responses are partial with drug tolerant residual disease remaining even at the time of maximal response. This residual disease ultimately leads to relapses which eventually develop in most patients. To investigate the cellular and molecular properties of residual tumor cells in vivo, we leveraged patient-derived models of EGFR mutant lung cancer. Subcutaneous EGFR mutant PDXs were treated with the 3rd generation TKI osimertinib until maximal tumor regression. Residual tissue inevitably harbored tumor cells that were transcriptionally, but not mutationally, distinct from bulk pre-treatment tumor. Using single cell transcriptional profiling we found evidence of cells matching the profiles of drug-tolerant cells present in the pre-treatment tumor. In one of the PDXs analyzed, osimertinib treatment caused dramatic transcriptomic changes that featured upregulation of the neuroendocrine lineage transcription factor ASCL1. Mechanistically, we found that ASCL1 confers drug tolerance by initiating an epithelial-to-mesenchymal gene expression program in permissive cellular contexts. Our study reveals fundamental insights into the biology of drug tolerance, the plasticity of cells through TKI treatment and explains why specific phenotypes are only observed in certain tumors.

Project description:The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in approximately 90% of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), and molecularly targeted therapy against the EGFR with the monoclonal antibody cetuximab modestly increases overall survival in head and neck cancer patients. We hypothesize that co-signaling through additional pathways limits the efficacy of cetuximab and EGFR-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the clinical treatment of HNSCC. Analysis of gene expression changes in HNSCC cell lines treated 4 days with TKIs targeting EGFR and/or fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) identified transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-β2) induction in the three cell lines tested. Measurement of TGF-β2 mRNA validated this observation and extended it to additional cell lines. Moreover, TGF-β2 mRNA was increased in primary patient HNSCC xenografts treated for 4 weeks with cetuximab, demonstrating in vivo relevance of these findings. Functional genomics analyses with shRNA libraries identified TGF-β2 and TGF-β receptors (TGFβRs) as synthetic lethal genes in the context of TKI treatment. Further, direct RNAi-mediated silencing of TGF-β2 inhibited cell growth, both alone and in combination with TKIs. Also, a pharmacological TGFβRI inhibitor similarly inhibited basal growth and enhanced TKI efficacy. In summary, the studies support a TGF-β2-TGFβR pathway as a TKI-inducible growth pathway in HNSCC that limits efficacy of EGFR-specific inhibitors.

Project description:Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are effective in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR mutations. However, due to the acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs, even third generation Osimertinib, the patients suffer poor prognosis. The resistance mechanisms are still not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that increased expression of MUSASHI-2 (MSI2), an RNA binding protein, is novel mechanisms for resistance to EGFR-TKIs. We found that after long-exposure of gefitinib, the first generation EGFR-TKI, lung cancer cells harboring the EGFR-TKI-sensitive mutations became resistant to not only gefitinib but also Osimertinib. Although other mutations in EGFR were not found, expression levels of Nanog, a stemness core protein, and activities of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) were increased, suggesting that cancer stem-like properties were increased. Transcriptome analysis revealed that MSI2 was among the top list of the stemness-related genes upregulated in the EGFR-TKI-resistant cells. Knockdown of MSI2 reduced cancer stem-like properties, including expression levels of Nanog a core stemness factor. We demonstrate that knockdown of MSI2 restored sensitivity to Osimertinib or gefitinib in the EGFR-TKI-resistant cells to the similar levels of the parental cells in vitro. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay revealed that antibodies against MSI2 bound to Nanog mRNA, suggesting that MSI2 increases Nanog expression by binding to Nanog mRNA. Moreover, overexpression of MSI2 or Nanog conferred resistance to Osimertinib or gefitinib in parental cells. Finally, knockdown of MSI2 greatly increased sensitivity to Osimertinib in vivo. Collectively, our findings provide proof-of-principle that targeting MSI2-Nanog axis in combination with EGFR-TKIs would effectively prevent emergence of acquired resistance.

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.
