RAS pathway activation drives clonal selection and monocytic differentiation in FLT3 and BCL2 inhibitor resistance

ABSTRACT: Despite efficacy of FLT3 and BCL2 inhibition in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), relapse limits survival. Mutation status and AML monocytic differentiation are implicated in resistance. On-treatment tumor evolution may select for genetically distinct clones or shifts in differentiation not resolvable by bulk sequencing. We performed multiomic single cell (SC) DNA/protein and RNA/protein profiling of patients treated on a clinical trial of the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax and the FLT3 inhibitor gilteritinib (Ven/Git) to characterize immunophenotypic, transcriptional, and genetic clonal evolution on therapy. We found that while Ven/Gilt effectively eliminated FLT3 mutant clones, it selected for RAS mutations, RAS pathway activation and RAS-associated monocytic differentiation. In an in vitro model of monocytic differentiation associated with heightened RAS pathway activation, we demonstrated that MEK inhibition re-sensitized to Ven/Gilt. These data indicate RAS signaling is central to FLT3 and BCL2 inhibitor resistance, is tightly coupled to monocytic differentiation and can be overcome by RAS pathway inhibition.

RAS-mutant AML LSCs originate from GMPs and drive clinical resistance to BH3 mimetics [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Cancer driver mutations often show distinct temporal acquisition patterns, but the biological basis for this, if any, remains unknown. RAS mutations occur invariably late in the course of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), upon progression or relapsed/refractory disease1-6. Here, by employing synthetic leukemogenesis in human cells, we first show that RAS mutations are obligatory late events that need to succeed earlier cooperating mutations. We provide the mechanistic explanation for this in a requirement for mutant RAS to specifically transform committed progenitors of the myelomonocytic lineage (granulocyte-monocyte progenitors, GMPs) harboring previously acquired driver mutations, revealing that advanced leukemic clones originate from a different cell type than more ancestral clones. Furthermore, we demonstrate that RAS-mutant leukemia stem cells (LSCs) give rise to monocytic disease, as frequently observed in patients with poor responses to treatment with the BCL2 inhibitor drug Venetoclax (VEN). We show that this is because RAS-mutant LSCs, in contrast to RAS-WT LSCs, have altered BCL2 family gene expression profiles and are resistant to VEN, driving clinical resistance and relapse with monocytic features. Our findings demonstrate that a specific genetic driver by imposing a specific LSC target cell restriction shapes the non-genetic cellular hierarchy of AML and critically impacts therapeutic outcomes in patients.

RAS-mutant AML stem cells acquire resistance to BH3 mimetics through altered BCL-2 family expression

Project description:Venetoclax (VEN) has transformed the therapy of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but resistance and relapse are a major challenge. Monocytic differentiation was proposed as a cause of VEN resistance, but clinical and laboratory evidence is conflicting. Here we harness AML patientderived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and Genotyping of Transcriptomes (GoT) to interrogate how mutational status and differentiation stage affect VEN sensitivity independently of one another. Findings in primary and iPSC-derived AML stem cells (LSCs) and monocytic blasts, together with clinical trial data, reveal that monocytic blasts are resistant to VEN, in contrast to LSCs, which express high levels of BCL2 and are sensitive, and that it is the latter, but not the former, that determines the clinical outcome. Crucially, N/KRAS-mutant LSCs produce more monocytic blasts, downregulate BCL2 and are resistant to VEN, driving clinical resistance or relapse. We thus provide a unifying mechanistic model of VEN resistance in AML.

Multi-selective RAS(ON) Inhibition Targets Oncogenic RAS Mutations and Overcomes RAS/MAPK-Mediated Resistance to FLT3 and BCL2 Inhibitors in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Aberrant activation of the RAS/MAPK signaling limits the clinical efficacy of several targeted therapies in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In FLT3-mutant AML, the selection of clones harboring heterogeneous RAS mutations drives resistance to FLT3 inhibitors (FLT3i). RAS activation is also associated with resistance to other AML targeted therapies, including the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax. Despite the critical need to inhibit RAS/MAPK signaling in AML, no targeted therapies have demonstrated clinical benefit in RAS-driven AML. To address this unmet need, we investigated the preclinical activity of RMC-7977, a multi-selective inhibitor of GTP-bound active [RAS(ON)] isoforms of mutant and wild-type RAS in AML models. RMC-7977 exhibited potent antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activity across AML cell lines with MAPK-activating signaling mutations. In Molm-14 and OCIAML-3 cell lines, RMC=7977 downregulated expression of genesets involved in RAS/MAPK and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, as well as MYC targets and cell cycle regulators.

Fatty acid metabolism mediates venetoclax resistance in acute myeloid leukemia stem cells

Project description:The combination of venetoclax with azacitidine (ven/aza) has recently emerged as a promising regimen for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with approximately 70% of newly diagnosed patients achieving complete remission (CR). However, 30% of newly diagnosed and nearly all relapsed patients do not achieve CR with ven/aza. Mechanistically, we previously reported that ven/aza efficacy is based on eradication of AML stem cells through a mechanism involving inhibition of amino acid metabolism, a process which is required in primitive AML cells to drive oxidative phosphorylation. In the present study we demonstrate that resistance to ven/aza occurs as a consequence of up-regulated fatty acid oxidation (FAO), which occurs either as an intrinsic property of RAS pathway mutations, or as a compensatory adaptation in relapsed disease. Utilization of FAO obviates the need for amino acid metabolism into the TCA cycle, thereby rendering ven/aza ineffective. Importantly, we show that pharmacological inhibition of FAO via use of MCL-1 or CPT1 inhibitor drugs restores targeting of ven/aza resistant AML stem cells. Based on these findings we propose that inhibition of FAO is a potential therapeutic strategy to address ven/aza resistance.

AML Relapse After BET Inhibition and Chemotherapy Is Characterized by Myc-Ras Transcriptional Remodeling

Project description:Genome-wide analysis of adult and pediatric acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) revealed distinct mutational profiles characterized by a higher incidence of RAS mutations in young patients. Here we show that the BET inhibitor PLX51107 potently suppresses the growth and promotes apoptosis of NRAS-mutant monocytic AML cell lines, and that these activities are enhanced by co-treatment with the MEK inhibitor PD0325901. Controlled preclinical trials in primary mouse Nras-mutant monocytic AMLs revealed single agent efficacy of PLX51107 that was enhanced by PD0325901. Leukemias that relapsed during treatment developed intrinsic drug resistance characterized by transition to a more primitive state, up-regulation of Myc target genes, and down-regulation of Ras-associated transcriptional programs. AMLs that relapsed after frontline chemotherapy showed similar transcriptional remodeling. These studies demonstrate transcriptional plasticity in primary AMLs that relapse following in vivo treatment with either targeted agents or chemotherapy, and support evaluating BET inhibition in leukemias with monocytic differentiation and RAS mutations.
