ALK inhibitors suppress HCC and synergize with anti-PD-1 therapy and ABT-263 in preclinical models

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) currently lacks effective therapies, leaving a critical need for new treatment options. A previous study identified the Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) amplification in HCC patients, raising the question of whether ALK inhibitors could be a viable treatment. Here, we showed that both ALK inhibitors and ALK knockout effectively halted HCC growth in cell cultures. Lorlatinib, a potent ALK inhibitor, suppressed HCC tumor growth and metastasis across various mouse models. Additionally, in an advanced immunocompetent humanized mouse model, when combined with an anti-PD-1 antibody, lorlatinib more potently suppressed HCC tumor growth, surpassing individual drug efficacy. Lorlatinib induced apoptosis and senescence in HCC cells, and the senolytic agent ABT-263 enhanced the efficacy of lorlatinib. Additional studies identified that the apoptosis-inducing effect of lorlatinib was mediated via GGN and NRG4. These findings establish ALK inhibitors as promising HCC treatments, either alone or in combination with immunotherapies or senolytic agents.

Kinome reprogramming of G2/M kinases and repression of MYCN contribute to superior efficacy of lorlatinib in ALK-driven neuroblastoma

Project description:Mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of the Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) oncogene in neuroblastoma occur most frequently at one of three hotspot amino acid residues, with the F1174* and F1245* variants conferring de novo resistance to first and second generation ALK inhibitors including crizotinib and ceritinib. Lorlatinib, a third generation ALK/ROS inhibitor, overcomes de novo resistance and induces complete tumor regressions in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models unresponsive to crizotinib. Lorlatinib has now completed Phase 1 testing in children and adults with relapsed/refractory ALK-driven neuroblastoma, and entered pivotal Phase 3 testing within the Children’s Oncology Group. To define mechanisms underlying the superior activity of lorlatinib, we utilized a chemical proteomics approach to quantitatively measure functional kinome dynamics in response to the ALK inhibitors lorlatinib and crizotinib, in clinically relevant ALK-driven neuroblastoma PDX models. Lorlatinib was a markedly more potent inhibitor of ALK and preferentially downregulated several kinases implicated in G2/M cell cycle transition compared to crizotinib. Lorlatinib treatment also led to the repression of MYCN expression and its occupancy at promoters of the same G2/M kinases. These data providing mechanistic insight in neuroblastoma into the far improved efficacy of lorlatinib over crizotinib for the treatment of ALK-driven neuroblastoma.

Transcriptomic profiling of three different neuroblastoma cell lines (CLB-BAR, CLB-GE and SK-N-AS) in response to ALK inhibition

Project description:Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is a tyrosine kinase receptor which is a clinical target of major interest in cancer, including neuroblastoma. To better understand ALK signaling, three different neuroblastoma cell lines (CLB-BAR, CLB-GE and SK-N-AS) were cultured for 1hr and 24hrs in control conditions or after treatment with the ALK inhibitors crizotinib or lorlatinib. RNA-Seq experiments were performed to determine the expression changes resulting from ALK inhibition. Together with parallel phosphoproteomic experiments, these data unveil several important conserved oncogenic pathways in neuroblastoma.

Phosphoroteomics analysis of ALK signaling in neuroblastoma cells

Project description:We used mass spectrometry-based proteomics to unravel anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) signaling in the ALK and MYCN amplified neuroblastoma cell line, NB1. We specifically measured the ALK phosphoproteome upon siRNA depletion of ALK and upon ALK inhibition using the ALK-targeting small-molecule inhibitor lorlatinib. For quantitative phosphoproteomics we used a tandem mass tag (TMT)-based approach. Conditions for the TMT 11-plex setup is specified below. For each siRNA depletion experiment, NB1 cells were treated with siRNA (80 nM; as specified below) for 48 hours prior to stimulation with 0.1% DMSO for 30 minutes. For inhibitor treatment, NB1 cells were treated for 30 minutes with either 10 microM or 10 nM lorlatinib. The experimental treatment conditions and TMT11-plex labeling are specified below: 126: siControl replicate 1, 0.1% DMSO 127N: siControl replicate 2, 0.1% DMSO 127C: siControl replicate 3, 0.1% DMSO 128N: siALK sequence 1, 0.1% DMSO 128C: siALK sequence 2, 0.1% DMSO 129N: siALK mix of sequence 1 and 2, 0.1% DMSO 129C: 10 microM lorlatinib replicate 1 130N: 10 microM lorlatinib replicate 2 130C: 10 microM lorlatinib replicate 3 131N: 10 nM lorlatinib replicate 1 131C: 10 nM lorlatinib replicate 2

BioID-screening identifies PEAK1 and SHP2 as components of the Alk “proximitome” in neuroblastoma cells

Project description:Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that is mutated in approximately 10% of pediatric cancer neuroblastoma (NB). To shed light on ALK-driven signaling processes, we employed BioID-based in vivo proximity labeling to identify molecules that interact with ALK. NB cells expressing inducible ALK-BirA* fusion proteins were generated and stimulated with ALKAL ligands in the presence and absence of the ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) lorlatinib. LC/MS-MS analysis identified multiple proteins, including PEAK1 and SHP2, which were validated as ALK interactors in NB cells. Further analysis of the ALK-SHP2 interaction confirmed that the ALK-SHP2 interaction as well as SHP2-Y542 phosphorylation was dependent on ALK activation. Use of the SHP2 inhibitors, SHP099 and RMC-4550, resulted in inhibition of cell growth in ALK-driven NB cells. In addition, we noted a strong synergistic effect of combined ALK and SHP2 inhibition that was specific to ALK-driven NB cells, suggesting a potential therapeutic option for ALK-driven NB.

Comprehensive profiling of ALK fusion lung adenocarcinomas identifies mutant p53 driven DNA replication and repair deregulation in targeted therapy resistance [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Acquired resistance to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) remains a major barrier in ALK-fusion lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), with up to 50% of resistant tumors lacking known resistance drivers. Here, we performed integrated genomic, transcriptomic, and single-cell analyses of clinical specimens and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) to define previously uncharacterized mechanisms of resistance. Transcriptomic profiling revealed marked intratumoral heterogeneity, with multiple distinct and independent pathways contributing to ALK inhibitor resistance. While secondary ALK mutations were detected in ~30% of resistant tumors, approximately half harbored no known actionable alterations. However, TP53 mutations, particularly DNA-binding domain missense variants, were significantly enriched in these TKI-resistant tumors and were associated with activation of DNA replication and repair programs. We find that missense mutant p53 acquired gain-of-function activity by directly binding promoters of replication and repair genes and engaging the chromatin remodeler EP400, thereby enhancing DNA damage repair and promoting survival under ALK inhibition. Therapeutically, combining lorlatinib with the proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib selectively depleted mutant p53, suppressed replication programs, and overcame resistance in TP53-mutant ALK-fusion PDX models. Together, these findings identify mutant p53–driven replication and repair as a previously unrecognized common mechanism of ALK TKI resistance and nominate a rational combination strategy for targeting a substantial fraction of TKI-refractory ALK-fusion LUAD.
