Upregulation of E-cadherin Promotes Spheroid Formation in Crizotinib-Resistant ALK-rearranged Lung Cancer

ABSTRACT: The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene fusion functions as a potent oncogene in lung cancer. The development of ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors has improved patient outcomes. However, cancer progression commonly occurs even after treatment. Chemoresistance arises mostly by the acquisition of gatekeeper mutations in ALK as well as by off-target bypass mechanisms arising during chemotherapy. To investigate these bypass mechanisms, we studied crizotinib resistance in ALK-rearranged lung cancer by using 2D and 3D cell line models and longitudinal human biopsy samples. We found that crizotinib-resistant H2228 cells exhibited increased tumor cell clustering and spheroid formation, with elevated E-cadherin levels. Notably, depletion of E-cadherin profoundly disrupted spheroid formation and restored drug sensitivity. Transcriptomic profiling revealed the upregulation of tissue morphology-related genes; in particular, EpCAM was highly expressed in the protrusive regions of spheroids. Remarkably, longitudinal biopsy analysis also demonstrated enhanced expression of E-cadherin and EpCAM in patients with ALK-rearranged lung cancer during chemotherapy. We propose that off-target resistance is mediated by the upregulation of morphogenic genes, which drive cell clustering and spheroid formation during tumor evolution. To overcome chemoresistance, it is crucial to monitor tumor evolution during treatment. Tracking the collective migration of cells may present a novel therapeutic target.

Resistance studies in Lung Cancer

Project description:<p>The purpose of the study was to compare gene expression profiles from a cohort of crizotinib-resistant ALK-rearranged lung tumors and a cohort of treatment-naive ALK-rearranged lung tumors. Expression profiles were generated by RNA-seq. In parallel, gene expression profiles were obtained from ALK-rearranged lung cancer cell lines in the presence or absence of the ALK inhibitor TAE684. Gene expression profiles were also obtained from ALK-rearranged cells ectopically expressing genes associated with ALK inhibitor resistance that were identified from a functional genetic study.</p>

Transcription profiling of ALK-rearranged cell lines resistent and sensitive to crizotinib

Project description:In this study we have analysed the transcription profile of ALK rearranged cell lines (COST, DEL, JB6, KARPAS, SR786, SUPM2, TS). The analysis was done on untreated cell lines and on the te same cell lines surviving to progressive increasing addition of crizotinib to the culture medium. Crizotinib concentration was progressively increased to reach a final concentration of 1 μM. The resulting pool of resistant cells (designated crizotinib-resistant (CR)) were maintained in RPMI with 10% FBS containing 0.5-1 μM crizotinib.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 overexpression mediates ALK inhibitor resistance in ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer

Project description:The rearrangement of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) occurs in 3%-5% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and confers sensitivity to ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). For the treatment of patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC, various additional ALK-TKIs have been developed. Ceritinib is a second-generation ALK-TKI and has shown great efficacy in the treatment of patients with both newly diagnosed and crizotinib, a first-generation ALK-TKI, refractory ALK-rearranged NSCLC. However, tumors can also develop ceritinib resistance. This may result from secondary ALK mutations, but other mechanisms responsible for this have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we explored the mechanisms of ceritinib resistance by establishing ceritinib-resistant, echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-ALK-positive H3122 cells and ceritinib-resistant patient-derived cells. We identified a mechanism of ceritinib resistance induced by bypass signals that is mediated by the overexpression and activation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). FGFR3 knockdown by small hairpin RNA or treatment with FGFR inhibitors was found to resensitize the resistant cells to ceritinib in vitro and in vivo. FGFR ligands from either human serum or fetal bovine serum were able to activate FGFR3 and induce ceritinib resistance. A detailed analysis of ceritinib-resistant patient-derived specimens confirmed that tyrosine-protein kinase Met (cMET) amplification induces ceritinib resistance. Amplified cMET counter-activated EGFR and/or Her3, and induced ceritinib resistance. These results reveal multiple ceritinib resistance mechanisms and suggest that ceritinib resistance might be able to overcome by identifying precise resistance mechanisms.

Gene expression profiles of an ALK-fusion driven cell line and its derivatives resistant to crizotinib alone or resistant to crizotinib plus afatinib

Project description:Despite the initial benefit of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting ALK gene fusions in non-small cell lung cancer, resistance to ALK inhibitors is almost inevitable. To determine the acquired resistance mechanism to ALK inhibition, we generated crizotinib-resistant ALK lines by chronically treating H3122 cells (driven by EML4-ALK) with an ALK inhibitor, crizotinib for approximately 3 months. RNA-seq and differential expression analyses were performed to determine the transcriptional changes of H3122-CR cells in comparison to parental H3122 cells. Because we demonstrated EGFR could mediate the early adaptive resistance to crizotinib, we further explored the mechanism that contributes to the resistance to the combination of crizotinib and afatinib. H3122-CAR (crizotinib and afatinib-resistant) cells were generated by treating them with a combination of crizotinib and afatinib for approximately 6 months and then profiled by RNA-seq to determine the associated transcriptional reprogramming.

Overcoming AXL Activation and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition is Critical in Conquering ALK-positive Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

Project description:Anaplastic lymphoma kinase tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) induce a dramatic response in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with the ALK fusion gene. However, acquired resistance to ALK-TKIs in lung cancer cells remains an inevitable problem: ALK secondary mutations and bypass pathways have been reported as major resistance mechanisms. In this study, we aimed to discover a novel mechanism of acquired resistance to ALK-TKIs and a strategy to conquer ALK-positive lung cancer. We established three types of ALK-TKI (crizotinib, alectinib and ceritinib)–resistant H2228 non-small cell lung cancer cell lines by high exposure and stepwise methods. We found these cells showed a loss of ALK signaling, overexpressed AXL with epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), and had cancer stem cell–like properties. Similarly, we demonstrated that TGF-β1 treated H2228 cells also showed AXL overexpression with EMT features and ALK-TKI–resistance. The AXL inhibitor, R428, or HSP90 inhibitor, ganetespib, were effective in reversing ALK-TKI–resistance and EMT changes in both ALK-TKI–resistant and TGF-β1–exposed H2228 cells. Progression-free survival of ALK-positive NSCLC patients with AXL overexpression was shorter than that of patients who underwent crizotinib therapy and showed low AXL expression. Thus, we found ALK signaling-independent AXL overexpression and EMT features were commonly involved in intrinsic and acquired resistance to first and second generation ALK-TKIs. This suggests AXL and HSP90 inhibitors may be promising therapeutic drugs to overcome tumor cells in ALK-positive NSCLC patients.

A genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screen in ALCL cells treated with crizotinib

Project description:We used a CRISPR-Cas9-based genome-wide guide RNA (sgRNA) library to identify genes responsible for driving drug resistance in ALK+ ALCL cells under crizotinib treatment.We screened 4 diffrerent ALK+ ALCL cell lines, TS, SU-DHL1, COST and KARPAS299. Every cell line was transduced with GeCKO A and GeCKO B sgRNA libraries separately. After puromycin selection, cells were splitted into 3 groups: Day 0 (baseline time point), crizotinib treated group (treated for 14 days) and DMSO treated group (treated for 14 days). TS and SU-DHL1 cells were treated with 40nM criztonib for 14 days and at the end of this period crizotinib concentration was increased to 80nM. COST cells received 50nM crizotinib for 14 days. KARPAS299 cells first received 50nM crizotinib for 14 days and at the end of this period crizotinib concentration was increased to 100nM. Crizotinib concentrations were determined based on their sensitivity for crizotinib for each cell line. The screening was repeated twice for TS and SU-DHL1 ALK+ ALCL cells. DNA isolotation was performed from all groups and each sgRNA sequence served as a barcode for Next Generation Illumina-based DNA sequencing. We compared enriched sgRNA sequences between Day 0 and DMSO conditions. We found that while PTPN2 was a top hit for all 4 ALK+ ALCL cells, PTPN1 was a top hit for TS and SU-DHL1 cells. We subsequently validated roles of PTPN1 and PTPN2 in crizotinib resistance separately. We demonstrated that both PTPN1 and PTPN2 can drive crizotinib resistance in ALK+ ALCL cells. In this study, we found two phosphatases, PTPN1 and PTPN2, involved in drug resitance in ALK+ ALCL using a CRSIPR Cas9-based screening approach. These two phosphatases regulate ALK phospharylation and therefore affect downstream signalling pathways involved in tumor growth and proliferation.

Kinome reprogramming of G2/M kinases and repression of MYCN contribute to superior efficacy of lorlatinib in ALK-driven neuroblastoma

Project description:Mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of the Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) oncogene in neuroblastoma occur most frequently at one of three hotspot amino acid residues, with the F1174* and F1245* variants conferring de novo resistance to first and second generation ALK inhibitors including crizotinib and ceritinib. Lorlatinib, a third generation ALK/ROS inhibitor, overcomes de novo resistance and induces complete tumor regressions in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models unresponsive to crizotinib. Lorlatinib has now completed Phase 1 testing in children and adults with relapsed/refractory ALK-driven neuroblastoma, and entered pivotal Phase 3 testing within the Children’s Oncology Group. To define mechanisms underlying the superior activity of lorlatinib, we utilized a chemical proteomics approach to quantitatively measure functional kinome dynamics in response to the ALK inhibitors lorlatinib and crizotinib, in clinically relevant ALK-driven neuroblastoma PDX models. Lorlatinib was a markedly more potent inhibitor of ALK and preferentially downregulated several kinases implicated in G2/M cell cycle transition compared to crizotinib. Lorlatinib treatment also led to the repression of MYCN expression and its occupancy at promoters of the same G2/M kinases. These data providing mechanistic insight in neuroblastoma into the far improved efficacy of lorlatinib over crizotinib for the treatment of ALK-driven neuroblastoma.

YAP activation mediates acquired resistance to ALK inhibitor in ALK rearranged non–small cell lung cancer

Project description:To investigate a possible candidate for overcoming the acquired resistance to ALK-TKI, we established an in vitro model of acquired resistance to crizotinib (H3122-CR) by exposing EML4-ALK–positive H3122 lung cancer cells to increasing doses of crizotinib.

A comprehensive analysis of metabolomics and transcriptomics reveals a novel crizotinib resistance mechanism in non-small cell lung cancer

Project description:Crizotinib is a first-line targeted therapy against EML4-ALK fusion in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the increased resistance limits its clinical application. However, the mechanisms underlying such resistance are largely unexplored. The present study identified ALK protein overexpression in crizotinib-resistant H3122CR cells through immunoblotting. Then, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry-based metabolomics was adopted to investigate metabolic responses. Crizotinib resistance was associated with the reduction of the total lipid content and the increase of organic acid, featuring the upregulation of lipid metabolism. Fatty acid β-oxidation pathway reprogrammed crizotinib-sensitive metabolome to crizotinib-resistant metabolome, resulting in crizotinib resistance. These findings reveal a previously unknown mechanism of crizotinib resistance and suggest promising applications of this approach in prognostic prediction and tailored therapeutics of NSCLC patients.

Analysis of ALK TKI sensitive and ALK TKI resistant isogenic pairs of H3122 (EML4-ALK E13;A20) cells

Project description:Starting with H3122 cells, which harbor the EML4-ALK E13;A20 fusion and are known to be sensitive to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors, we generated isogenic pairs of ALK TKI sensitive and ALK TKI resistant cell lines using established methods (see Chmeliecki, J et al Science Trans Med 2011). We modeled resistance against the currently FDA approved ALK TKI, crizotinib (also called PF-1066). We also modeled resistance against a novel more potent ALK inhibitor, X-376 (ref: Lovly, CM et al Cancer Research 2011). We compared gene expression profiles between the 'parental' (ALK TKI sensitive) H3122 cells and the drug resistant cells (H3122 CR for Crizotinib resistant cells and H3122 XR for X-376 resistant cells).
