Project description:<p>Desmoplastic melanoma is an infrequent variant of melanoma with sarcomatous histology, distinct clinical behavior, and unknown pathogenesis. We performed low-coverage genome and high-coverage exome sequencing of 20 desmoplastic melanomas, followed by targeted sequencing of 293 genes to validate candidate genes. A high mutation burden (median 62 mutations/Mb) ranked desmoplastic melanoma among the most highly mutated cancers. Mutation patterns strongly implicate UV-radiation as the dominant mutagen, indicating a superficially located cell of origin. Novel alterations included recurrent promoter mutations of NF-kappa B inhibitor epsilon, NFKBIE (IkBε) in 14.5% of samples. Commonly mutated oncogenes in melanomas, in particular BRAF(V600E) and NRAS(Q61K/R), were absent. Instead, other genetic alterations known to activate the MAPK and PI3K signaling cascades were identified in 73% of samples, affecting NF1, CBL, ERBB2, MAP2K1, MAP3K1, BRAF, EGFR, PTPN11, MET, RAC1, SOS2, NRAS, and PIK3CA, some of which being candidates for targeted therapies.</p> <p><i>Reprinted from:</i><br/> Shain, A.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway activation contributes to mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) pathogenesis and drug resistance. However, the use of mTOR inhibitors as single agents have shown limited clinical efficacy in relation with drug activation of feedback loops. Selective PI3K inhibition or dual PI3K/mTOR catalytic inhibition are different therapeutic approaches developed to achieve effective pathway blockage. Here, we evaluated the antitumor activity of a mTOR inhibitor, a pan-PI3K inhibitor and a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor in primary MCL cells. We found that dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor modulated angiogenesis, tumor invasiveness and cytokine signaling compared to a mTOR inhibitor and a pan-PI3K inhibitor in MCL. We used microarrays to compare the effect of these three compounds in MCL and identified distinct classes of down-regulated genes modulated by each compound. Global RNA expression in primary cells from two MCL patients treated with a mTOR inhibitor, a pan-PI3K inhibitor and a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor for 8 hours

Project description:<p>Mucosal melanoma is a deadly disease that carries the worst prognosis amongst subtypes of melanoma. Like all melanomas, mucosal melanomas are frequently driven by activating mutations in the MAPK and/or PI3K pathways; however, unlike melanomas that arise on sun-exposed skin, mucosal melanomas harbor few point mutations. Instead, most somatic alterations involve structural alterations, which appear early during tumor progression. Molecular studies in mucosal melanoma generally only profile point mutations without interrogating copy number alterations, and pathogenic mutations are only found in 30% of cases. We sequenced 38 mucosal melanomas, and in addition to profiling point mutations, we looked for copy number alterations that amplify oncogenes or delete tumor suppressors.</p>

Project description:Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling activation is frequently observed in triple negative breast cancer, however, PI3K inhibitors have shown limited clinical activity. To investigate resistance mechanisms, we performed global transcriptome, proteome, phosphoproteome and kinome analysis of a panel of triple negative breast cancer patient derived xenograft models with varying responsiveness to buparlisib, a pan-PI3K inhibitor, for differentially expressed baseline and post-treatment biomarkers. Resistance was associated with incomplete inhibition of PI3K and upregulated MAPK/MEK signaling in response to buparlisib. Outlier phosphoproteome and kinome analyses identified additional candidates in association with buparlisib resistance, including NEK9 and MAP2K4. Knockdown of NEK9 or MAPK2K4 reduced both baseline and feedback MAPK/MEK signaling and enhanced buparlisib efficacy in vitro. Interestingly, we show that a complex ins/del in PIK3CA led to a change in buparlisib response in a NEK9/MAP2K4 dependent manner. In summary, our study indicates a role for NEK9 and MAP2K4 in mediating buparlisib resistance and demonstrates the value of unbiased global analyses in uncovering resistance mechanisms to targeted therapy.

Project description:Activating mutations of PIK3CA are the most frequent genomic alterations in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast tumors and selective PI3Kα inhibitors are in clinical development. The activity of these agents, however, is not homogenous and only a fraction of patients bearing PIK3CA-mutant ER-positive tumors benefit from single agent administration. Searching for mechanisms of resistance, we observed that suppression of PI3K signaling with different agents results in induction of ER-dependent transcriptional activity as demonstrated by changes in expression in genes containing ER binding sites, enhanced ER transcription and increased occupancy by the ER of promoter regions of upregulated genes. Furthermore, expression of ESR1 mRNA and ER protein levels themselves were also increased upon PI3K inhibition. These changes in gene expression were confirmed in vivo in xenograft and patient derived models and in tumors from patients undergoing treatment with the PI3Kα inhibitor BYL719. The observed effects on transcription were enhanced by the addition of estradiol and suppressed by the anti-ER therapies fulvestrant and tamoxifen. Fulvestrant markedly sensitized ER-positive tumors to PI3Kα inhibition. We propose that increased ER transcriptional activity may be a compensatory mechanism that limits the activity of PI3K inhibitors and that combined PI3K and ER inhibition is a rational approach to target these tumors. The aim of our study was to explore the mechanism by which combination of PI3K pathway inhibitors and estrogen receptor function blockade results in superior antitumor activity. We aimed to evaluate whether changes in ER function were influencing the clinical response to anti-PI3K therapy in ER-positive breast tumors that harbor PI3K pathway activation. For this purpose, we planned to use various specific PI3K inhibitors, namely: BYL719 (p110α specific catalytic inhibitor), GDC0941 (pan-PI3K inhibitor), GDC0032 and BAY80-6946 (p110sparing PI3K inhibitors) in a panel of ER-positive breast cancer cell lines and xenografts that harbor PIK3CA activating mutations. We also used MK2206 (pan-AKT allosteric inhibitor) to inhibit the PI3K pathway in ER-positive cell lines which activate this pathway through PTEN loss. Finally, in order to evaluate the role of ER up-regulation as a pro-survival signal in our in vitro and in vivo models, we planned to use the selective ER modulator 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4-OHT) and degrader fulvestrant. For the in vivo experiments, the number of animals in each group was calculated to measure a 25% difference between the means of placebo and treatment groups with a power of 80% and a p value of 0.01. Host mice carrying xenografts were randomly and equally assigned to either control or treatment groups. Animal experiments were conducted in a controlled and non-blinded manner. Moreover, we evaluated by means of RNAseq gene expression changes breast cancer patients that underwent BYL719 based therapy to validate our in vitro findings in terms of ER expression. In vitro experiments were performed at least two times and at least in triplicate for each replica.

Project description:Prostate cancer is the second most occurring cancer in men worldwide, and with the advances made with screening for prostate-specific antigen, it has been prone to early diagnosis and over-treatment. To better understand the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and possible treatment responses, we developed a mathematical model of prostate cancer which considers the major signalling pathways known to be deregulated. The model includes pathways such as androgen receptor, MAPK, Wnt, NFkB, PI3K/AKT, MAPK, mTOR, SHH, the cell cycle, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), apoptosis and DNA damage pathways. The final model accounts for 133 nodes and 449 edges. We applied a methodology to personalise this Boolean model to molecular data to reflect the heterogeneity and specific response to perturbations of cancer patients, using TCGA and GDSC datasets.

Project description:The close integration of the MAPK, PI3K and WNT signaling pathways underpins much of development and is deregulated in cancer. In principle, combinatorial post-translational modification of key lineage–specific transcription factors would be an effective means to integrate critical signaling events. Understanding how this might be achieved is central to deciphering the impact of microenvironmental cues in development and disease. The microphthalmia associated transcription factor, MITF, plays a crucial role in the development of melanocytes, the retinal pigment epithelium, osteoclasts and mast cells, and acts as a lineage survival oncogene in melanoma. MITF coordinates survival, differentiation, cell cycle progression, cell migration, metabolism and lysosome biogenesis. Yet how the activity of this key transcription factor is controlled remains poorly understood. Here we show that GSK3b, downstream from both the PI3K and Wnt pathways, and BRAF/MAPK signaling converge to control MITF nuclear export. Phosphorylation of the melanocyte MITF-M isoform in response to BRAF/MAPK signaling primes for phosphorylation by GSK3b, a kinase inhibited by both PI3K and Wnt signaling. Dual phosphorylation, but not monophosphorylation, then promotes MITF nuclear export by activating a previously unrecognized hydrophobic export signal. Nonmelanocyte MITF isoforms exhibit poor regulation by MAPK signaling, but instead their export is controlled by mTOR. We uncover here an unanticipated mode of MITF regulation that integrates the output of key developmental and cancer-associated signaling pathways to gate MITF flux through the import-export cycle. The results have significant implications for our understanding of melanoma progression and stem cell renewal
