Project description:Combining venetoclax, a selective BCL-2 inhibitor, with low-dose navitoclax, a BCL-XL/BCL-2 inhibitor, may potentiate therapeutic BCL-2 and BCL XL inhibition without dose-limiting thrombocytopenia associated with navitoclax monotherapy. The safety and preliminary efficacy of venetoclax with low-dose navitoclax and chemotherapy was assessed in this phase 1 dose escalation study (NCT03181126) in pediatric and adult patients with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Forty-seven patients received treatment. A recommended phase 2 dose of 50 mg navitoclax for adults and 25 mg for patients <45 kg with 400 mg adult-equivalent venetoclax was identified. Delayed hematopoietic recovery was the primary safety finding. The complete remission rate was 60%, including responses in patients who had previously received hematopoietic cell transplantation or immunotherapy. Thirteen (28%) patients proceeded to transplantation or CAR T-cell therapy on study. Venetoclax with navitoclax and chemotherapy was well tolerated and had promising efficacy in this heavily pretreated patient population.

Project description:High-risk B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is an aggressive disease, often characterized by resistance to chemotherapy. A frequent feature of high-risk B-ALL is loss of function of the Ikaros tumor suppressor. In leukemia, Ikaros’ function is impaired by oncogenic Casein Kinase II (CK2), which is overexpressed in B-ALL. Phosphorylation by CK2 reduces Ikaros binding to the promoter of its target gene, particularly Bcl-xL. This results in a loss of Ikaros-mediated repression of Bcl-xL and in increased expression of Bcl-xL. Increased expression of Bcl-xL and/or CK2, as well as reduced Ikaros expression, are associated with resistance to doxorubicin treatment. Molecular and pharmacological inhibition of CK2 with a specific inhibitor CX-4945, enhances Ikaros-mediated repression of Bcl-xL and increases sensitivity to doxorubicin. Combination treatment with CX-4945 and doxorubicin show synergistic therapeutic effects in vitro and in preclinical models of high-risk B-ALL. Results reveal a novel signaling network that regulates chemoresistance in leukemia and lays the groundwork for clinical testing of CK2 inhibitors in combination with doxorubicin for the treatment of hematopoietic malignancies.

Project description:RNA expression analysis was performed to compare patterns to sensitivity to BCL2 inhibitors (ABT-263). Overexpression of the prosurvival Bcl-2 family members (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1) is commonly associated with tumor maintenance, progression and chemoresistance. We previously reported the discovery of ABT-737, a potent, small molecule Bcl-2 family protein inhibitor. A major limitation of ABT-737 is that it is not orally bioavailable. This may limit its use for chronic single agent treatment and the flexibility to dose in combination with parenteral chemotherapy. Here we report the discovery and biological properties of ABT-263, a potent, orally bioavailable Bad-like BH3 mimetic (Kiâ??s of < 1 nM for Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w). The oral bioavailability of ABT-263 in preclinical animal models is 20% - 50%, depending on formulation. ABT-263 disrupts Bcl-2/Bcl-xL interactions with pro-death proteins (e.g., Bim) in cells leading to the initiation of apoptosis within 2 hr post-treatment. In human tumor cells, ABT-263 rapidly induces Bax translocation, cytochrome c release and subsequent programmed cell death. Oral administration of ABT-263 alone induces complete tumor regressions in xenograft models of small cell lung cancer and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In xenograft models of aggressive B-cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma where ABT-263 exhibits modest or no single agent activity, it significantly enhances the efficacy of clinically relevant therapeutic regimens. These data provide the rationale for clinical trials evaluating ABT-263 in SCLC and B-cell malignancies. The oral efficacy of ABT-263 should provide dosing flexibility to maximize clinical utility as both a single agent and in combination with standard chemotherapeutic regimens. Experiment Overall Design: Naive cell lines were isolated in duplicate or triplicate (only a single for H69AR) to determine RNA expression pattern.

Project description:Genome-wide genetic screens have identified cellular dependencies in many cancers. Using Novartis’ DRIVE and the Broad Institute’s Achilles shRNA screening datasets, we mined for targetable dependencies in kidney lineage cancer cells. Our studies identified a dependency, preferentially in kidney cancer cells versus cells of other lineages, on the BCL2L1 gene, which encodes the Bcl-xL anti-apoptotic protein. Genetic and pharmacological inactivation of Bcl-xL, but not its paralog BCL2, led to fitness defects in renal cancer cells, and also sensitized them to chemotherapeutics. Expression levels of Bcl-xL, VHL status, and p53 mutation status were insufficient to predict Bcl-xL dependence. Instead, analyzing the transcriptional hallmarks of response to Bcl-xL blockade identified an elevated mesenchymal cell state signature in Bcl-xL dependent lines. Functional studies to address if these cell state differences drive Bcl-xL dependence showed that maintaining mesenchymal characteristics was necessary to confer sensitivity to Bcl-xL loss; and, conversely, that promoting mesenchymal transition was sufficient to increase sensitivity to Bcl-xL inhibition in resistant cells. This mesenchymal signature was also observed in almost a third of human renal tumors, and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Detachment from an organized epithelium incites protective apoptotic responses in normal cells (e.g. anoikis); however, our findings suggest that, in mesenchymal kidney cancer cells Bcl-xL activity counteracts this protective mechanism and enables tumor cell survival. Altogether, our studies uncover an unexpected link between cellular cell state and dependence on anti-apoptotic proteins, and justify the use of Bcl-xL blockade to target a clinically aggressive subset of human kidney cancers.

Project description:The heterogeneous therapy response observed in colorectal cancer is in part due to cancer stem cells (CSCs) that resist chemotherapeutic insults. The anti-apoptotic protein BCL-XL plays a critical role in protecting CSCs from cell death, where its inhibition with high doses of BH3-mimetics can induce apoptosis. To identify pathways that can regulate sensitivity to BCL-XL inhibition, we screened a compound library for synergy with low dose BCL-XL inhibitor A-1155463 and reveal that FGFR4 inhibition effectively sensitizes to A-1155463 both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we identify a rescue response that is activated upon BCL-XL inhibition and leads to rapid FGF2 secretion and subsequent FGFR4-mediated post-translational stabilization of MCL-1. FGFR4 inhibition prevents MCL-1 upregulation and thereby sensitizes CSCs to BCL-XL inhibition. Altogether, our findings suggest a cell transferable induction of a FGF2/FGFR4 rescue response in CRC that is induced upon BCL-XL inhibition and leads to MCL-1 upregulation.

Project description:Radiotherapy has a critical role in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Effectiveness of radiation in SCLC remains limited as resistance results from defects in apoptosis. In the current study, we investigated whether using a Bcl-2/Bcl-XL inhibitor S44563 can enhance radiosensitivity of SCLC cells in vitro and in vivo. In vitro studies confirmed that S44563 induce apoptosis in SCLC cells by inducing hallmarks of apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3, sub-G1 fraction induction and induction of the mitochondrial caspase activation pathway). S44563 markedly enhanced sensitivity of H146 cells and H69 cells to radiation in clonogenic assay. In addition, the combination S44563 and cisplatin-based chemo-radiation showed a dramatic tumor growth delay and increased overall survival in mouse xenograft models. In vitro experiments demonstrated a greater induction of apoptosis (sub-G1 fraction and cleaved caspase-3) with the combination as well as in vivo caspase-3 immunostaining. This positive interaction between S44563 and radiation was greater when S44563 was given after the completion of the radiation, which may be explained by the radiation-induced over expression of anti-apoptotic proteins (Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL) through the NF-?B pathway activation. Taken together, these data underline the critical role of sequence administration of targeted therapies with conventional therapies. SCLC cells which survive to IR highly rely on the induction of anti apoptotic proteins in part through NF- ?B activation for their survival yielding to the concept of 'contextual oncogene addiction' to the Bcl-2/Bcl-XL pathway providing rational for targeting survival pathways to potentiate IR. For transcriptome analysis, 106 cells were seeded in T25 flasks, allowed to growth for 24 h, and then left untreated or treated with 2 Gy radiation. After 24 hours, cells were harvested, lysed for the extraction of RNA, and processed to analyze gene expression.The design of this study consists to 6 hybridizations in dual color with Agilent Human Genome 4x44K (design 014850). The reference is always the untreated condition.
