Proximity Labeling reveals role of 14-3-3 protein YWHAB in CDK4/6 inhibitors resistance in breast cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: CDK4/6 inhibitors are currently standard of care for advanced hormone positive (HR+) breast cancer, and CDK6 overexpression induces resistance against CDK4/6 inhibitors. We incidentally discovered that overexpression of a CDK6 D224Y mutant mitigated this resistance. Mechanistic studies revealed that CDK6 overexpression resulted in suppressed apoptosis and increased G1/S progression after treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors; these features were abolished when CDK6 D224Y was overexpressed. Proximity labeling proteomics revealed CDK6 overexpression, but not CDK6 D224Y overexpression, induced binding of the 14-3-3 protein YWHAB. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed YWHAB bound overexpressed wild type CDK6 but not CDK6 D224Y, and YWHAB knockdown decreased CDK6 protein expression in a proteosomal dependent manner. Knockdown of YWHAB reversed the resistance conferred by CDK6 amplification. Xenograft studies confirmed that CDK6 D224Y overexpression reversed the resistance conferred by CDK6 overexpression in vivo. In summary, by studying CDK6 D224Y, we uncovered a role for YWHAB that modulates CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance.
