Coexistent ARID1A-PIK3CA mutations promote ovarian clear cell tumorigenesis through pro-tumorigenic inflammatory cytokine signaling

ABSTRACT: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is an aggressive form of ovarian cancer with high ARID1A mutation rates. Here we present a genetically engineered mouse model of OCCC. We find that ARID1A inactivation is not sufficient for tumor formation, but requires concurrent activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase catalytic subunit, PIK3CA. Remarkably, the mice develop highly penetrant tumors with OCCC-like histopathology, culminating in hemorrhagic ascites and a median survival period of 7.5 weeks. Therapeutic treatment with the pan-PI3K inhibitor, BKM120, prolonged mouse survival by inhibiting tumor cell growth. Cross-species gene expression comparisons support a role for IL-6 inflammatory cytokine signaling in OCCC pathogenesis. We further show that ARID1A-PIK3CA mutations cooperate to promote tumor growth through sustained IL-6 overproduction. Our findings establish an epistatic relationship between SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling and PI3K pathway mutations in OCCC and demonstrate that these pathways converge on pro-tumorigenic cytokine signaling. We propose that ARID1A protects against inflammation-driven tumorigenesis.

Loss of HDAC-mediated repression and gain of NF-kB activation underlies cytokine induction in ARID1A and PIK3CA mutation-driven ovarian cancer

Project description:ARID1A is frequently mutated in ovarian clear-cell carcinoma (OCCC) and often co-exists with activating mutations of PIK3CA. Although induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines has been observed in this cancer, the mechanism by which the two mutations synergistically activate cytokine genes remains elusive. Here we established an in vitro model of OCCC by introducing ARID1A knock-down and mutant PIK3CA in a normal human ovarian epithelial cell line, which resulted in cell transformation and cytokine gene induction. We demonstrate that loss of ARID1A impairs the recruitment of the Sin3A-HDAC complex, while PIK3CA mutation releases RelA from IkB, leading to cytokine gene activation. We show that an NF-kB inhibitor partly attenuates proliferation of OCCC and improves the efficacy of carboplatin both in cell culture and a mouse model. Our study thus reveals the mechanistic link between ARID1A/PIK3CA mutations and cytokine gene induction in OCCC, and suggests NF-kB inhibition can be a potential therapeutic option.

BKM120 in Cancers With PIK3CA Activating Mutations

Project description:In people whos cancers have a PIK3CA mutation, this trial will be evaluating the drug BKM120 as a possible treatment. BKM120 works by blocking the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)pathway, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and survival. The purpose of this study is to learn if the study drug BKM120 can shrink or slow the growth of your tumor. The safety of BKM120 will also be studied. Your physical state, symptoms, change in the size of your tumor, and laboratory findings obtained while you are on study will help the research team decide if BKM120 is safe and effective in patients with advanced cancers.

PPP2R1A mutations cause ATR inhibitor synthetic lethality in ARID1A deficient ovarian clear cell carcinoma

Project description:Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a cancer of unmet need characterized by ARID1A mutation. Prior work identified an ARID1A/ATR synthetic lethality, information that led to phase II clinical trials. Using genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis and interference screens, we identified protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) subunits, including PPP2R1A, as determinants of ATRi sensitivity in ARID1A mutant OCCC. Analysis of an OCCCs cohort indicated that >1/3 possessed both PPP2R1A and ARID1A loss-of-function mutations. CRISPR-prime editing demonstrated that oncogenic PPP2R1A p.R183 missense mutations enhance in vitro and in vivo ATRi sensitivity in ARID1A mutant OCCC. OCCC patients with both ARID1A and PPP2R1A mutations also showed clinical responses to ATRi in a phase II trial. Mechanistically, this synthetic lethal effect is dependent upon WNK1 kinase, which opposes PP2A function. This data suggests that co-occurrence of PPP2R1A and ARID1A mutations in OCCC should be assessed as a biomarker of ATRi response in on-going clinical trials.

Affymetrix SNP array data for mammary tumors that recurred after inactivation of the oncogenic PIK3CA-H1047R

Project description:Gain-of-function mutation of PIK3CA represents one of the most common oncogenic events in human malignancy, making PI3K an attractive target for cancer therapy. Despite the great promise of targeted therapy, drug resistance is likely to develop, causing treatment failure. To elucidate resistance mechanisms to PI3K-targeted therapy, we constructed a mouse model of breast cancer conditionally expressing PIK3CA-H1047R. Surprisingly, the majority of mammary tumors induced by PIK3CA-H1047R expression recurred following PIK3CA-H1047R inactivation. Genomic analyses of recurrent tumors revealed multiple lesions, including spontaneous focal amplification of c-Met or c-Myc. While amplification of c-Met allowed tumor survival dependent on activation of endogenous PI3K, tumors with amplification of c-Myc become independent of the PI3K pathway. Functional analyses further demonstrated that c-Myc contributed to tumors’ independence of oncogene and resistance to PI3K inhibition. Together, our data suggest that MYC elevation in tumors may be a potential mechanism conferring resistance to current PI3K-targeted therapies. Affymetrix SNP array analysis was performed with Mouse Diversity Genotyping Arrays (Affymetrix) on genomic DNA extracted from frozen biopsies of 6 recurrent mouse mammary tumor samples. Copy number analysis was performed for the mouse mammary tumors using genomic DNA from normal mammary tissue as the reference for copy number inference.

Targeting EZH2 methyltransferase activity in ARID1A mutated cells as a synthetic lethal therapeutic strategy

Project description:ARID1A, an epigentic modifier, is often mutated in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). In addition, EZH2 is frequently upregulated in OCCC. Inhibtion of EZH2 with an inhibitor (GSK126) selectively inhibits ARID1A-mutated cells. This study was designed to understand changes in gene expression profiles following EZH2 inhibition or ARID1A restoration. Chromatin remodelers such as ARID1A are frequently mutated in a broad array of cancers. However, targeted cancer therapy based on ARID1A mutation status has not been described. Intriguingly, ARID1A mutated cancers typically lack genomic instability, suggesting significant involvement of epigenetic mechanisms. Here we show that inhibition of the EZH2 methyltransferase acts in a synthetic lethal manner in ARID1A mutated cells. Remarkably, ARID1A mutation status correlated with response to EZH2 inhibitor. Genome-wide profiling revealed antagonistic roles of ARID1A and EZH2 in gene regulation. Further, we identified PIK3IP1 as a direct ARID1A/EZH2 target gene whose upregulation contributes to the observed synthetic lethality in the EZH2 inhibitor treated ARID1A mutated cells. Significantly, EZH2 inhibitor caused the regression of established ARID1A mutated tumors in vivo. Together, this data demonstrate a synthetic lethality between ARID1A mutation and EZH2 inhibition. They indicate that pharmacological inhibition of EZH2 represents a novel treatment strategy for ARID1A mutated cancers.

Conditional loss of ErbB3 delays mammary gland hyperplasias induced by mutant PIK3CA but does not affect mammary tumor latency, gene expression or signaling

Project description:Mutations in PIK3CA, the gene encoding the p110α subunit of PI3K, induce transformation of mammary epithelial cells (MEC). Studies suggest the transforming action of mutant PIK3CA requires binding to activated receptor tyrosine kinases or adaptors. We examined in transgenic mice if ErbB3, a powerful activator of PI3K, is required for mutant PIK3CA-mediated MEC transformation. ErbB3 loss delayed PIK3CAH1047R-dependent mammary gland hyperplasia, but tumor latency, gene expression and markers of PI3K signaling were unaffected. In ErbB3-deficient tumors, mutant PI3K remained associated with other tyrosine phosphorylated adaptors, potentially explaining the dispensability of ErbB3 for tumorigenicity and PI3K activity. Combined inhibition of ErbB RTKs and PI3K with lapatinib and the p110α inhibitor BYL719, respectively, reduced PIK3CAH1047R-dependent tumor growth and PI3K signaling more potently than the p110α inhibitor alone. In human breast cancer cells harboring PIK3CAH1047R, the combination with BYL719 and an ErbB3 inhibitor synergistically inhibited tumor growth and P-Akt. These data suggest that basal tumor growth and PI3K signaling do not depend on ErbB RTKs in PIK3CAH1047R-expressing tumors. However, upon inhibition of p110α, these receptors limit the action of PI3K inhibitors potentially explaining the more potent effect of the combination against PI3K-mutant cancers. reference x sample

Characterization of Mutational Status, Spheroid Formation, and Drug Response of a New Genomically-Stable Human Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma Cell Line, 105C (Affymetrix)

Project description:Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a rare subtype of gynecological cancer for which well-characterized and authenticated model systems are scarce. We provide an extensive characterization of ‘105C’, a cell line generated from an adenocarcinoma of the clear cell histotype using targeted next-generation sequencing, cytogenetic microarrays, along with analyses of AKT/mTOR signaling. We report that that the 105C cell line is a bona fide OCCC cell line, carrying PIK3CA, PTEN, and ARID1A gene mutations, consistent with OCCC, yet maintain a stable genome as reflected by low copy number variation. Unlike KOC-7c, TOV-21G, and RMG-V OCCC lines also mutated for the above genes, the 105C cells do not carry mutations in mismatch repair genes. Importantly, we show that 105C cells exhibit greater resistance to mTOR inhibition and carboplatin treatment compared to 9 other OCCC cell lines in 3D spheroid cultures. This resistance may be attributed to 105C cells remaining dormant in suspension culture which surprisingly, contrasts with several other OCCC lines which continue to proliferate in long-term suspension culture. 105C cells survive xenotransplantation but do not proliferate and metastasize. Collectively, we show that the 105C OCCC cell line exhibits unique properties useful for the pre-clinical investigation of OCCC pathobiology. Copy number variation was determined for multiple Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinomas
