Co-targeting CDK4/6 and BRD4 promotes senescence and ferroptosis sensitivity in cancer

ABSTRACT: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors are approved for breast cancer treatment and show activity against other malignancies, including KRAS-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the clinical efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors is limited due to frequent drug resistance and their largely cytostatic effects. Through a genome-wide cDNA screen, we identified that bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) overexpression conferred resistance to the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib in KRAS-mutant NSCLC cells. Inhibition of BRD4, either by RNA interference or small-molecule inhibitors, synergized with palbociclib to induce senescence in NSCLC cells and tumors, and the combination prolonged survival in a KRAS-mutant NSCLC mouse model. Mechanistically, BRD4-inhibition enhanced cell cycle arrest and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, both of which are necessary for senescence induction; this in turn elevated GPX4, a peroxidase that suppresses ROS-triggered ferroptosis. Consequently, GPX4 inhibitor treatment selectively induced ferroptotic cell death in the senescent cancer cells, resulting in tumor regression. Co-targeting CDK4/6 and BRD4 also promoted senescence and ferroptosis vulnerability in pancreatic and breast cancer cells. Together, these findings reveal therapeutic vulnerabilities and effective combinations to enhance the clinical utility of CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Inhibition of GPX4 enhances CDK4/6 inhibitor activity in breast cancer.

Project description:CDK4/6 inhibition is the standard of care for estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, although cytostasis is frequently observed, and new treatment strategies that enhance efficacy are required. We performed a genome-wide CRISPR screen to identify genetic determinants of CDK4/6 inhibitors sensitivity. Multiple genes involved in oxidative stress and ferroptosis modulated palbociclib sensitivity. Depletion or inhibition of GPX4 increased sensitivity to palbociclib in ER+ breast cancer models, and sensitised triple negative breast cancer models to palbociclib, with GPX4 null xenografts being highly sensitive to palbociclib. Palbociclib induced oxidative stress and disordered lipid metabolism with lipid peroxidation, leading to a ferroptosis-sensitive state. Lipid peroxidation relied on a peroxisome AGPAT3-dependent pathway in ER+ breast cancer models, rather than the classical ACSL4 pathway. Our data demonstrate that CDK4/6 inhibition creates vulnerability to ferroptosis that could be exploited through combination with GPX4 inhibitors, enhancing sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibition in breast cancer.

Proteomic characterisation of triple negative breast cancer cells following CDK4/6 inhibition

Project description:CDK4/6 inhibitor, Palbociclib, has shown a high success in breast cancer subtypes however it is often accompanied by a dependency on mutation status of cell lines. Consequently, there has been speculation on the breast cancer subtypes which should be offered treatment with specific CDK4/6 inhibitors and the response that can be expected. A common observation has been the induction of a cell programme known as "senescence" whereby cells experience a complete halt in mitosis, however, remaining metabolically active. Therapy-induced senescence markers and its effect on the tumour microenvironment as well as the diversity of this cell state remain unappreciated. In the following proteomics, phosphoproteomics and secretome datasets we focus on MDA-MB-231 cells, a triple negative cell line, to better understand the senescence-like cell state which arises after treatment. Ultimately, the dataset encompasses the population that arises upon Palbociclib treatment and highlights potential signatures and biomarkers of the cell state which could provide information on the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in triple negative breast cancer subtypes.

Stromal senescence following treatment with the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib increases mammary cancer metastasis

Project description:One potential resistance mechanism to CDK4/6 inhibitors in breast cancer could be induction of cellular senescence in normal host tissues. The aim of our study was to identify CDK4/6 inhibition-induced changes to host tissues that impact metastasis. Using mouse models, we found that pre-treatment with palbociclib can increase metastatic seeding of mouse mammary cancer cells in the lungs and that this can be mitigated by eliminating senescent host cells. We describe palbociclib-induced gene expression changes in lungs that correlate with this effect and reveal altered intra-lung immune populations. Senescent endothelial cells are identifiable within lung metastases of mice pre-treated with palbociclib. Using in vitro models, we show that palbociclib treatment increases endothelial cell senescence and affects macrophage invasion and migration. These studies describe how CDK4/6 inhibition-induced cellular senescence in host tissues affects metastasis and disease progression in breast cancer, which remain key obstacles to achieving long-term survival.

Treatment of Retinoblastoma 1-Intact Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4/6 Inhibitor Combination Therapy

Project description:Background and aims: Synthetic cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors exert antitumor effects by forcing RB1 in unphosphorylated status, causing not only cell cycle arrest but also cellular senescence, apoptosis, and increased immunogenicity. These agents currently have an indication in advanced breast cancers and are in clinical trials for many other solid tumors. HCC is one of promising targets of CDK4/6 inhibitors. RB family dysfunction is often associated with the initiation of HCC; however, this is revivable, as RB family members are not frequently mutated or deleted in this malignancy. Approach and results: Loss of all Rb family members in transformation related protein 53 (Trp53)-/- mouse liver resulted in liver tumor reminiscent of human HCC, and re-expression of RB1 sensitized these tumors to a CDK4/6 inhibitor, palbociclib. Introduction of an unphosphorylatable form of RB1 (RB7LP) into multiple liver tumor cell lines induced effects similar to palbociclib. By screening for compounds that enhance the efficacy of RB7LP, we identified an I kappa B kinase (IKK)β inhibitor Bay 11-7082. Consistently, RB7LP expression and treatment with palbociclib enhanced IKKα/β phosphorylation and NF-κB activation. Combination therapy using palbociclib with Bay 11-7082 was significantly more effective in hepatoblastoma and HCC treatment than single administration. Moreover, blockade of IKK-NF-κB or AKT pathway enhanced effects of palbociclib on RB1-intact KRAS Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog mutated lung and colon cancers. Conclusions: In conclusion, CDK4/6 inhibitors have a potential to treat a wide variety of RB1-intact cancers including HCC when combined with an appropriate kinase inhibitor.

Ferroptotic cell death triggered by conjugated linolenic acids is mediated by ACSL1

Project description:Ferroptosis is associated with lipid hydroperoxides generated by oxidation of polyunsaturated acyl chains. Lipid hydroperoxides are reduced by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and GPX4 inhibitors induce ferroptosis. However, the therapeutic potential of triggering ferroptosis in cancer cells with polyunsaturated fatty acids is unknown. We identified conjugated linoleates including α-eleostearic acid (αESA) as novel ferroptosis inducers. αESA did not alter GPX4 activity but was incorporated into cellular lipids and promoted lipid peroxidation and cell death in diverse cancer cell types. αESA-triggered death was mediated by acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain isoform 1, which promoted αESA incorporation into neutral lipids including triacylglycerols. Interfering with triacylglycerol biosynthesis suppressed ferroptosis triggered by αESA but not by GPX4 inhibition. Orally administered tung oil, naturally rich in αESA, limited tumor growth and metastasis with transcriptional changes consistent with ferroptosis. Overall, these findings illuminate a novel approach to ferroptosis, complementary to GPX4 inhibition, with therapeutic potential.

O-GlcNAcylation promotes Palbociclib resistance in breast cancer by regulating MITF nuclear translocation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) are essential drivers of the cell cycle and are also critical for the initiation and progression of diverse malignancies. Pharmacological inhibitors targeting CDK4/6 have demonstrated significant activity against various tumor types such as breast cancer. However, resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) (such as palbociclib) remains an immense obstacle in clinical and the underlying mechanisms have not been fully understood. Using quantitative high-throughput combinational screen (qHTCS) and genomic sequencing, we report that the Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), was significantly elevated in palbociclib-resistance cells. Inhibition of MITF can enhance the therapeutic efficacy of Palbociclib and surmount Palbociclib resistance both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we found that O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) modifies MITF with O-GlcNAcylation at Serine 49 (Ser49) within its nuclear localization signal (NLS), thereby promoting MITF binding to importin α/ β and facilitating its nuclear transportation, which is crucial in regulating senescence. Significantly, clinical studies also confirm that MITF was elevated in palbociclib-resistance patients. Collectively, these results reveal a previously unrecognized mechanism by which MITF-mediated palbociclib resistance, and provide valuable insights for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies in future clinical contexts.

Genome wide transcriptome analysis of palbociclib or GSK3326595 treated A375 cells [Palbociclib_GSK_RNASeq]

Project description:RNA-seq was performed to compare the transcriptional programmes of A375 cells treated with Palbociclib or GSK3326595 compared to untreated cells Cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors are an established treatment in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and are currently in clinical development in melanoma; a tumour that exhibits high rates of CDK4 activation. We analyzed melanoma cells with acquired resistance to the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib, and demonstrated that palbociclib-mediated inhibition of PRMT5 is essential for sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Mechanistically, by inhibiting PRMT5 activity, palbociclib alters MDM4 pre-mRNA splicing leading to decreased MDM4 protein expression and subsequent p53 activation. In turn, p53 increases p21 leading to inhibition of CDK2, the main kinase substituting for CDK4/6 and a key driver of resistance to palbociclib. Loss of the ability of palbociclib to regulate the PRMT5-MDM4 axis leads to resistance. Importantly, combining palbociclib with the PRMT5 inhibitor GSK3326595 enhances the efficacy of palbociclib in treatment naïve and resistant models and also delays the emergence of resistance. Our studies have uncovered a novel mechanism of action of CDK4/6 inhibitors in regulating the MDM4 oncogene and the tumor suppressor, p53. Furthermore, we have established that palbociclib inhibition of the PRMT5-MDM4 axis is essential for robust melanoma cell sensitivity and provide pre-clinical evidence that co-inhibition of CDK4/6 and PRMT5 is an effective and well tolerated therapeutic strategy. Overall our data provides a strong rationale for further investigation of novel combinations of CDK4/6 and PRMT5 inhibitors in not only melanoma but other tumour types including breast, pancreatic and esophageal carcinoma.
