H3K27me3 CUT&TAG in C4.2B prostate cancer cell line treated with AKTi (ipatasertib) and EZH2i (tazemetostat).

ABSTRACT: Men with advanced prostate cancer are typically treated with androgen deprivation therapy, but most ultimately develop resistance and incurable disease (e.g. castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)). The majority of CRPCs overexpress the epigenetic enzyme EZH2 and harbor alterations in the PI3K pathway, providing two targetable pathways outside of AR. Here we show that EZH2 inhibitors synergize with PI3K, AKT, or mTORC1 inhibitors to kill CRPC in vitro and promote tumor regression in vivo. Strikingly, these agents trigger a catastrophic energy crisis by cooperatively suppressing glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation prior to cell death. EZH2 and PI3K pathway inhibitors achieve this by respectively inhibiting two key regulators of metabolism, MYC and HIF-1A, while concomitantly derepressing a pro-apoptotic stress sensor. Together, these studies reveal a promising therapeutic strategy for CRPC and demonstrate how metabolic plasticity can be fatally impaired by co-targeting upstream oncogenic nodes that converge on this important process.

ATACseq of TNBC cell lines treated with EZH2i (tazemetostat) and/or AKTi (ipatasertib)

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype and has the highest rate of recurrence1. The predominant standard of care for advanced TNBC is systemic chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy, however responses are typically short-lived1,2. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop more effective treatments. PI3K pathway components represent plausible therapeutic targets, as approximately 70% of TNBCs have PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations3–6. However, unlike hormone receptor-positive tumors, it is still unclear if or how PI3K pathway inhibitors will be effective in triple-negative disease7. Here we identify a promising AKT inhibitor-based therapeutic combination for TNBC. Specifically, we show that AKT inhibitors potently synergize with agents that suppress the histone methyltransferase, EZH2, and promote robust tumor regression in multiple TNBC models in vivo. AKT and EZH2 inhibitors exert these effects by first cooperatively driving basal-like TNBC cells into a more differentiated, luminal-like state, which cannot be effectively induced by either agent alone. Once differentiated, these agents kill TNBCs by hijacking signals that normally drive mammary gland involution. Finally, using machine learning approach, we developed a classifier that can be used for patient selection. Together these findings identify a promising therapeutic strategy for this highly aggressive tumor type and illustrate how deregulated epigenetic enzymes can insulate tumors from oncogenic vulnerabilities. These studies also reveal how developmental tissue-specific cell death pathways may be co-opted for therapeutic benefit.
