Project description:Gene copy number changes, cancer stem cell (CSC) increases, and platinum chemotherapy resistance contribute to poor prognosis in patients with recurrent high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). CSC phenotypes involving Wnt-b-catenin and aldehyde dehydrogenase activities, platinum resistance, and tumor initiating frequency are here associated with spontaneous genetic gains, including genes encoding KRAS, MYC and FAK, in a new murine model of ovarian cancer (KMF). Noncanonical FAK signaling was sufficient to sustain human and KMF tumorsphere proliferation, CSC survival, and platinum resistance. Increased FAK tyrosine phosphorylation occurred in HGSOC patient tumors surviving neo-adjuvant platinum and paclitaxel chemotherapy and platinum resistant tumorspheres acquired FAK dependence for growth. Importantly, combining a pharmacologic FAK inhibitor with platinum overcame chemoresistance and triggered apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Knockout, rescue, genomic and transcriptomic analyses collectively identified more than 400 genes regulated along a FAK/b-catenin/Myc axis impacting stemness and DNA repair in HGSOC, with 66 genes gained in a majority of Cancer Genome Atlas samples. Together, these results support combinatorial testing of FAK inhibitors for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer.

Project description:Changes in chromatin organization are associated with resistance to anti-cancer drugs, such as platinum-based chemotherapy used as the primary treatment of ovarian cancer. We have examined the genomic distribution of chromatin accessibility changes, and relationship to gene expression changes, occurring during acquisition of resistance in vivo of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients and whether this associates with genomic DNA damage distribution. Using matched chemo-sensitive and chemo-resistant ovarian cell lines isolated from HGSOC patients before and following acquisition of clinical resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy, we have examined the relationship between chromatin accessibility by ATAC-seq, platinum-DNA adduct distribution by Pt-Exo-seq and gene expression by RNA-seq. We have correlated chromatin changes between the lines at gene promoters, CpG islands, enhancer sequences and other genomic regions with changes in gene expression and platinum-DNA adduct distribution. We observe chromatin conformation differences following acquisition of platinum-resistance, with the HGSOC resistant lines clustering together, separately from their respective sensitive counterparts. Resistant lines show altered chromatin accessibility at intergenic regions, but less so at gene promoters. Super-enhancers, as defined by clusters of cis-regulatory elements, at these intergenic regions show chromatin changes that are associated with altered expression of linked genes, with enrichment for genes involved in the Fanconi anemia/BRCA DNA damage response pathway. Genome-wide distribution of platinum adducts associates with the chromatin changes and distinguish sensitive from resistant lines. Regions incurring fewer platinum-adducts showed a significant reduction in accessibility the resistant HGSOC cell line PEO4 compared to the sensitive PEO1 counterpart. Surprisingly, regions showing increased damage in PEO4 had an even greater reduction in accessibility. In the resistant line, we observe fewer adducts around gene promoters and more adducts at intergenic regions. In cell lines derived from patients following acquisition of clinical resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy, chromatin changes at super-enhancers correlate with gene expression changes in DNA repair pathways known to influence platinum sensitivity. Although cisplatin is a relatively non-specific DNA damaging agent, there are consistent differences in distribution of adducts between the matched sensitive and resistant ovarian cell lines, which is independent of the overall level of adducts formed.

Project description:Variable responses to platinum chemotherapy and the development of resistant disease drive high mortality in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Here, we developed the organoid drug resistance assay (ODR-test) to quantify the patient-specific efficacy of platinum treatment and generated post-platinum lines as an in vitro model of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC). We observed a gradual increase in resistance, mirroring the clinical outcomes of patients. Transcriptional and proteomic analyses of post-platinum phenotypes revealed changes in cell adhesion and differentiation as adaptive mechanisms irrespective of the basal resistance level. We found that Keratin 17 (KRT17) is a mediator of developing resistance and validated its function by CRISPR/Cas9 and overexpression. Additionally, we determined KRT17 (K-score) as a significant negative prognostic factor for survival based on analysis of a tumor microarray (N=377) of patients with advanced HGSOC. In organoids, increased KRT17 levels enhanced sensitivity to PI3K/Akt inhibitors Alpelisib and Afuresertib, highlighting the potential of KRT17 as a stratification biomarker for targeted therapies. These findings quantify patient-specific platinum response, identify PROC via KRT17 as a biomarker, and propose alternative targeted therapy for this challenging group of patients.

Project description:Ovarian cancer (OC) is a lethal gynecological malignancy with a five-year survival rate of only 46%. Development of resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy is a common cause of high mortality rates among OC patients. Tumor and transcriptomic heterogeneity are drivers of platinum resistance in OC. Platinum-based chemotherapy enriches for ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) that are chemoresistant and contribute to disease recurrence and relapse. Studies examining the effect of different treatments on subpopulations of HGSOC cell lines are limited. Having previously demonstrated that combined treatment with an enhancer of zeste homolog 2 inhibitor (EZH2i) and a RAC1 GTPase inhibitor (RAC1i) inhibited survival of OCSCs, we investigated EZH2i and RAC1i combination effects on HGSOC heterogeneity using single cell RNA sequencing. We demonstrated that RAC1i reduced expression of stemness and early secretory marker genes, increased expression of an intermediate secretory marker gene and induced inflammatory gene expression. Importantly, RAC1i alone and in combination with EZH2i significantly reduced oxidative phosphorylation and upregulated Sirtuin signaling pathways. Altogether, we demonstrated that combining a RAC1i with an EZH2i promoted differentiation of subpopulations of HGSOC cells, supporting the future development of epigenetic drug combinations as therapeutic approaches in OC.

Project description:In the United States, high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy and tumor response to platinum-based chemotherapy is a major determinant of clinical outcome. Although recent efforts have dramatically improved the median survival of advanced ovarian cancer, the initial treatment of the disease has remained the same. The initial therapy includes surgery and chemotherapy and the response rate is very high (85%). Unfortunately, 15% of patients do not respond to this therapy and have platinum-refractory disease. These patients have a very short survival and there is an urgent need to identify novel pharmaceutically targetable pathways to treat these patients. We generated extensive proteomic (global, phospho, ubiquitin, acetylation, pTyr) and RNASeq-based dynamic molecular profiles (+/-carboplatin at 8 and 24 hours) from HGSOC intra-patient cell line pairs (PEA1/PEA2, PEO1/PEO4, PEO14/PEO23) derived from 3 patients before and after acquiring platinum resistance. The molecular profiles revealed a multi-faceted response to carboplatin (e.g., induction of a DNA damage response, ubiquitination of ribosomal proteins, and metabolic changes), as well as novel carboplatin-induced post-translational modifications. Higher oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and fatty acid beta-oxidation (FAO) pathway expression was observed in resistant compared with sensitive cells. These expression findings were validated via metabolite profiling of cell lines and proteomic profiling of platinum sensitive and refractory HGSOC patient derived xenograft (PDX) models. Both pharmacologic inhibition and CRISPR knockout of CPT1A, which represents the rate limiting step of FAO, sensitizes HGSOC cells to platinum. The metabolic signature identified in the cell line and PDX models is correlated with survival in a previously reported proteomic analysis of HGSOC, and thus FAO is a candidate druggable pathway to overcome platinum resistance.
