FOXA1 phosphorylation by CDK4 prevents activation of novel chromatin regions and HER2 expression in breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Cyclin Dependent Kinase 4/6 inhibitors induce transcription in breast tumors via FOXA1 chromatin binding. The use of Cyclin Dependent Kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) induce transcription in breast tumors. The control mechanism of such genomic changes and their physiological relevance are not elucidated yet. Now, we identified chromatin activation of tumors treated with CDK4/6i. These chromatin changes induce an increase of HER2 expression and signaling. Mechanically, our study demonstrates that FOXA1 is a new substrate of CDK4 and that its phosphorylation limits the binding of FOXA1 to conventional chromatin regions. Moreover, when patients are treated with CDK4/6i, a dephosphorylated FOXA1 binds to additional chromatin regions. By doing so, FOXA1 leads to an increase of HER2 expression and of the activation of HER2-MEK-ERK pathway in breast cancer patients. Accordingly, we might envision a clinical benefit of adding antiHER2 therapy to delay development of resistance and therefore, to prolong PFS in patients yet receiving CDK4/6i.

Microarray gene expression data from MCF-7 and LetR cells

Project description:Resistance to aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment and combined CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy (ET) are crucial clinical challenges in treating estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Understanding the resistance mechanisms and identifying reliable predictive biomarkers and novel treatment combinations to overcome resistance are urgently needed. Herein, we show that upregulation of CDK6, p-CDK2, and/or cyclin E1 is associated with adaptation and resistance to AI-monotherapy and combined CDK4/6i and ET in ER+ advanced breast cancer. Importantly, co-targeting CDK2 and CDK4/6 with ET synergistically impairs cellular growth, induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and delays progression in AI-resistant and combined CDK4/6i and fulvestrant-resistant cell models and in an AI-resistant autocrine breast tumor in a postmenopausal xenograft model. Analysis of CDK6, p-CDK2, and/or cyclin E1 expression as a combined biomarker in metastatic lesions of ER+ advanced breast cancer patients treated with AI-monotherapy or combined CDK4/6i and ET revealed a correlation between high biomarker expression and shorter progression-free survival (PFS), and the biomarker combination was an independent prognostic factor in both patients cohorts. Our study supports the clinical development of therapeutic strategies co-targeting ER, CDK4/6 and CDK2 following progression on AI-monotherapy or combined CDK4/6i and ET to improve survival of patients exhibiting high tumor levels of CDK6, p-CDK2, and/or cyclin E1.

Efficacy of abemaciclib in palbociclib-resistant hormone receptor positive breast cancer cell lines: MCF-7 and T47D

Project description:Resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine therapy, standard of care for HR+/HER2-neg metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients, remains as a clinical problem with limited therapeutic options after disease progression. Treatment with abemaciclib after progression on a prior CDK4/6i has received increasing interest. However, molecular predictors of cross-resistance and unique mechanism of resistance to each CDK4/6i are unknown. In this study, multiomics analyses revealed ≥30 differentially altered pathways between palbociclib and abemaciclib resistant models. Mechanistic, preclinical and retrospective clinical evidence showed that HR+/HER2-neg MBC tumors refractory to palbociclib still may be responsive to abemaciclib. Based on the unique mechanisms of resistance to each CDK4/6i, we propose that patients who would benefit from abemaciclib treatment post progression on palbociclib could be selected based on the Hallmark gene set enrichment of G2/M pathway, while those who most probably would be refractory could be identified base on the gene set enrichment of OXPHOS pathway.

Characterizing of Breast Cancer translational PEARL clinical trial

Project description:Introduction In HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is imperative to identify patients who respond poorly to CDK4/6i and to discover therapeutic targets to reverse this resistance. Non-luminal breast cancer subtype and high levels of CCNE1 are candidate biomarkers in this setting but further validation is needed. Methods We performed mRNA gene expression profiling and correlation with progression-free-survival (PFS) on 455 tumor samples included in the phase III PEARL study, that assigned HR+/HER2- MBC patients to receive palbociclib+ET vs capecitabine. ER+/HER2- breast cancer cell lines were used to generate and characterize resistance to palbociclib+ET. Results Non-luminal subtype was more prevalent in metastatic (14%) than in primary tumor samples (4%). Patients with non-luminal tumors had median PFS of 2.4months (m) with palbociclib+ET and 9.3m with capecitabine; HR:4.16, adjusted p-value<0.0001. Tumors with high CCNE1 expression (above median) had also worse median PFS with palbociclib+ET (6.2m) than with capecitabine (9.3m); HR:1.55, adjusted p-value=0.0036. In patients refractory to palbociclib+ET (PFS in the lower quartile) we found higher levels of Polo Like Kinase 1 (PLK1). In an independent data set (PALOMA3), tumors with high PLK1 show worse median PFS than those with low PLK1 expression under palbociclib+ET treatment. In ER+/HER2- cell line models we show that PLK1 inhibition reverses resistance to palbociclib+ET. Conclusion We confirm the association of non-luminal subtype and CCNE1 with resistance to CDK4/6i+ET in HR+ MBC. High levels of PLK1 mRNA identify patients with poor response to palbociclib, suggesting PLK1 could also play a role in the setting of resistance to CDK4/6i.

Distinct CDK6 complexes determine tumor cell response to CDK4/6 inhibitors and degraders

Project description:CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) are effective in metastatic breast cancer, but they have been only modestly effective in most other tumor types. Here we show that tumors expressing low CDK6 rely on CDK4 function, and are exquisitely sensitive to CDK4/6i. In contrast, tumor cells expressing both CDK4 and CDK6 have increased reliance on CDK6 to ensure cell cycle progression. We discovered that CDK4/6i and CDK4/6 degraders potently bind and inhibit CDK6 selectively in tumors in which CDK6 is highly thermo-unstable and strongly associated with the HSP90/CDC37 complex. In contrast, CDK4/6i and CDK4/6 degraders are ineffective in antagonizing tumor cells expressing thermostable CDK6, due to their weaker binding to CDK6 in these cells. Thus, we uncover a general mechanism of intrinsic resistance to CDK4/6i and CDK4/6i-derived degraders and the need for novel inhibitors targeting the CDK4/6i-resistant, thermostable form of CDK6 for application as cancer therapeutics.

RANK expression and Luminal BC response to CDK4/6 inhibitors

Project description:The combination of endocrine therapy (ET) with CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) was the most recent life-changing hallmark in metastatic Luminal breast cancer (BC). However, intrinsic and acquired resistance affect long-term efficacy. Here, we studied the role of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB (RANK) pathway in CDK4/6i resistance. We found that RANK overexpression in Luminal BC associates with intrinsic resistance to CDK4/6i, both in vitro and in mouse xenografts. Transcriptomic analysis of mouse tumors highlighted decreased proliferation rate and chronic interferon (IFN)-response as resistance drivers.

Low-Dose CDK4/6 Inhibitors Induce Presentation of Pathway Specific MHC ligands as Potential Targets for Cancer Immunotherapy

Project description:Cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) lead to cell-cycle arrest but also trigger T cell-mediated immunity, which might be mediated by the qualitative and quantitative changes in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) ligands on the cancer cell surface. We investigated the effects of CDK4/6i, Abemaciclib and Palbociclib, on the immunopeptidome at subclinical, non-toxic, levels in breast cancer cell lines by biochemical isolation and identification of HLA ligands followed by network analyses. This treatment led to upregulation of cell surface HLA and revealed hundreds of induced HLA ligands in breast cancer cell lines. These new ligands were significantly enriched for peptides derived from proteins involved in the “G1/S phase transition of cell cycle” including HLA ligands from CDK4/6, Cyclin D1 and the 26S regulatory proteasomal subunit 4 (PSMC1). Interestingly, peptides from this essential biological process, that is targeted by Abemaciclib and Palbociclib, were predicted to be the most likely to induce a T cell response within the group of all induced HLA ligands when compared to HLA ligands from the DMSO-treated group. In strong contrast, peptides induced by solely one of the drugs had a lower T cell recognition score compared to the DMSO control suggesting that the observed effect is class dependent. This general hypothesis was exemplified by a peptide from PSMC1 which was among the HLA ligands with highest prediction scores and which elicited a T cell response in healthy donors. Overall, these data demonstrate that CDK4/6i treatment gives rise to drug-induced HLA ligands, that have the highest chance for being recognized by T cells if they are derived from the inhibited process of G1/S phase transition, thus providing evidence that inhibition of a distinct cellular process leads to increased presentation of the involved proteins that may be targeted by immunotherapeutic agents.

CDK4 phosphorylation status and rational use for combining CDK4/6 and BRAF/MEK inhibition in advanced thyroid carcinomas

Project description:Despite overall good prognosis associated to thyroid cancer, poorly differentiated carcinomas (PDTC) and anaplastic carcinomas (ATC) represent major clinical challenges. We have shown that the presence of active T172-phosphorylated CDK4 predicts sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitory drugs (CDK4/6i) including palbociclib. Here, CDK4 phosphorylation was detected in all well-differentiated thyoid carcinomas (n=29), 19/20 PDTC, 16/23 ATC, and 18/21 thyroid cancer cell lines including 11 ATC-derived ones. The cell lines lacking CDK4 phosphorylation were insensitive to CDK4/6i. RNA-sequencing and immunohistochemistry revealed that tumors and cell lines without phosphorylated CDK4 presented very high p16CDKN2A levels that were associated with proliferative activity. One of the main mechanisms of resistance to CDK4/6i is RB1 defects or inactivation. RB1 mutations were present in the 3 insensitive cell lines but were not found in 5 of the 7 tumors without phosphorylated CDK4. p16/KI67 immunohistochemistry and a previously developed 11-gene signature identified the likely insensitive tumors and cell lines lacking CDK4 phosphorylation. In cell lines, palbociclib synergized with dabrafenib/trametinib, completely and irreversibly arresting proliferation. The combined drugs prevented resistance mechanisms induced by palbociclib, most notably Cyclin E1-CDK2 activation and a paradoxical stabilization of phosphorylated CDK4 complexes. Our study supports the evaluation of CDK4/6i for ATC/PDTC treatment, including in combination with MEK/BRAF inhibitors.

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is an actionable therapeutic target in CDK4/6 inhibitor-resistant ER+/RB-deficient breast cancer [RNA-seq_RBKO vs WT]

Project description:CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) have improved survival of patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. However, patients treated with CDK4/6i eventually develop drug resistance and progress. RB1 loss-of-function alterations confer resistance to CDK4/6i, but the optimal therapy for these patients is unclear. Through a genome-wide CRISPR screen, we identified protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) as a molecular vulnerability in ER+/RB1-knockout (RBKO) breast cancer cells. Inhibition of PRMT5 blocked the G1-to-S transition in the cell cycle independent of RB, leading to growth arrest in RBKO cells. Proteomics analysis uncovered fused in sarcoma (FUS) as a downstream effector of PRMT5. Inhibition of PRMT5 resulted in dissociation of FUS from RNA polymerase II (Pol II), which led to Ser2 Pol II hyperphosphorylation, intron retention, and subsequent downregulation of proteins involved in DNA synthesis. Furthermore, treatment with the PRMT5 inhibitor pemrametostat and a selective ER degrader fulvestrant synergistically inhibited growth of ER+/RB-deficient cell-derived and patient-derived xenografts. These findings highlight the potential of dual ER and PRMT5 blockade as a novel therapeutic strategy to overcome resistance to CDK4/6i in ER+/RB-deficient breast cancer.
