Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor inhibitor, AMG-479, in cetuximab-refractory head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat with limited chemotherapeutic options. Here, we describe a patient with HNSCC who had complete response to methotrexate (MTX) after progressing on multiple cytotoxic agents; cetuximab, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), and AMG 479, a mAb against Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF-1R). In tumor tissue of this patient we observed gene expression modulation by cetuximab and AMG 479 suggesting crosstalk between the EGFR and IGF-1R pathways that may have sensitized the tumor to MTX. This represents a promising novel approach to development of targeted agents in refractory cancer. Keywords: tumor response

Gene expression associated with panitumumab efficacy in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck

Project description:Platinum-based chemotherapy plus cetuximab, an anti-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody (Mab), is usually offered to recurrent/metastatic (R/M) head-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients, with only a small portion experiencing durable responses. The anti-EGFR-Mab panitumumab, was used as single agent in platinum pre-treated R/M-HNSCC patients in a phase II trial (PANI01). By analyzing gene expression profiles of a selected retrospective series of HNSCC patients treated with cetuximab, an anti-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody (MAb), associated to chemotherapy, we were able to propose that long progression-free survival (PFS) cases consistently belong to defined molecular subtypes, such as Cluster3-hypoxia and Basal subtypes, respectively defined by De Cecco et al [DeCecco; Oncotarget, 2015] and Keck et al [Keck; CCR,2015], while short-PFS cases are characterized by an over-activation of RAS signaling

Functional RNAi Screens Define Distinct Protein Kinase Vulnerabilities in EGFR-Dependent HNSCC Cell Lines

Project description:Cetuximab, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitory antibody, is an approved therapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Despite the EGFR dependency of HNSCC, cetuximab alone or combined with radio- or chemotherapy fails to yield long-term control or cures. Herein, we submitted EGFR-dependent HNSCC cell lines to RNAi-based functional genomics screens to identify, in an unbiased fashion, essential protein kinases for growth and survival as well as synthetic lethal targets for combined inhibition with EGFR inhibitors. MTOR and ERBB3 were identified as the highest ranking essential kinase hits. MTOR dependency was confirmed by distinct shRNAs and high sensitivity of the cell lines to AZD8055 while ERBB3 dependency was validated by shRNA-mediated silencing. Further, a synthetic lethal kinome shRNA screen with a pan-ERBB inhibitor, AZD8931, identified multiple components of the ERK MAPK pathway, consistent with ERK reactivation and/or incomplete ERK pathway inhibition in response to EGFR inhibitor monotherapy. As validation, distinct MEK inhibitors yielded synergistic growth inhibition when combined with the EGFR inhibitors, gefitinib and AZD8931. The findings identify ERBB3 and MTOR as important pharmacological vulnerabilities in HNSCC and support combining MEK and EGFR inhibitors to enhance efficacy of agents such as cetuximab.

An Inducible TGF-Î²2-TGFÎ²R Pathway Modulates the Sensitivity of HNSCC Cells to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Targeting Dominant Receptor Tyrosine Kinases

Project description:The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in approximately 90% of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), and molecularly targeted therapy against the EGFR with the monoclonal antibody cetuximab modestly increases overall survival in head and neck cancer patients. We hypothesize that co-signaling through additional pathways limits the efficacy of cetuximab and EGFR-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the clinical treatment of HNSCC. Analysis of gene expression changes in HNSCC cell lines treated 4 days with TKIs targeting EGFR and/or fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) identified transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-Î²2) induction in the three cell lines tested. Measurement of TGF-Î²2 mRNA validated this observation and extended it to additional cell lines. Moreover, TGF-Î²2 mRNA was increased in primary patient HNSCC xenografts treated for 4 weeks with cetuximab, demonstrating in vivo relevance of these findings. Functional genomics analyses with shRNA libraries identified TGF-Î²2 and TGF-Î² receptors (TGFÎ²Rs) as synthetic lethal genes in the context of TKI treatment. Further, direct RNAi-mediated silencing of TGF-Î²2 inhibited cell growth, both alone and in combination with TKIs. Also, a pharmacological TGFÎ²RI inhibitor similarly inhibited basal growth and enhanced TKI efficacy. In summary, the studies support a TGF-Î²2-TGFÎ²R pathway as a TKI-inducible growth pathway in HNSCC that limits efficacy of EGFR-specific inhibitors. HNSCC cell lines treated 4 days with TKIs targeting EGFR and/or fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) identified transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-Î²2) induction in the three cell lines tested

The expression profile of Cetuximab resistance in head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma cells.

Project description:Cetuximab (Erbitux) is an antibody drug against EGFR and commonly used in late stage HNSCC and metastatic colorectal cancer. The oncogenic mutation of certain genes are known to drive Cetuximab resistance such as K-RAS or b-RAF mutation. The aberrant activation of signaling pathways in the presence of Cetuximab treatment to overcome cellular stress contribute to acquired resistance to Cetuximab as well. To better understand the mechanisms and molecular patterns of Cetuximab resistant cells, the Cetuximab resistant cells are trained for examining the gene expression profile. The gene expression array is used for identify the molecular signature governing the Cetuximab resitance.

Gene expression signatures modulated by epidermal growth factor receptor activation and their relationship to cetuximab resistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Aberrant activation of signaling pathways controlled in normal epithelial cells by the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been linked to cetuximab (a monoclonal antibody against EGFR) resistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). To infer relevant and specific pathway activation downstream of EGFR from gene expression in HNSCC, we generated gene expression signatures using immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) subjected to either ligand stimulation or pharmacological inhibition of the signaling intermediaries PI-3-Kinase and MEK or transfected with EGFR, RELA/p65, or HRASVal12. The gene expression patterns that distinguished the various HaCaT variants and conditions were inferred using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) matrix factorization algorithm Coordinated Gene Activity in Pattern Sets (CoGAPS). This approach inferred gene expression signatures with greater relevance to cell signaling pathway activation than the expression signatures inferred with standard linear models. Furthermore, the pathway signature generated using HaCaT-HRASVal12 further associated with the cetuximab treatment response in isogenic cetuximab-sensitive (UMSCC1) and -resistant (1CC8) cell lines. Our data suggest that the CoGAPS algorithm can generate gene expression signatures that are pertinent to downstream effects of receptor signaling pathway activation and potentially be useful in modeling resistance mechanisms to targeted therapies. 58 total RNA collected from HaCaT cell lines with combinations of the following experimental conditions: forced expression of EGFR, RELA/p65, and HRAS-VAL12D; grown in PBS, serum starve, and media stimulated with TNF or EGF; treated with gefitinib, LY294002, and U1026.

Knockdown IGF-1R triggers viral RNA sensors MDA5- and RIG-1-mediated the mitochondrial apoptosis in colonic cancer cells

Project description:The important role of IGF-1R in cancers has been well established. Classical model involves IGF-1/2 binding to IGF-1R, following activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway, thereby promoting cell proliferation, apoptosis inhibition and treatment resistance. While IGF-1R has become a promising target for cancer therapy, clinical disclosures subsequently have been less encouraging. The question is whether targeting IGF/IGF-1R still holds therapeutic potential. Here we show a novel mechanism that knockdown IGF-1R surprisingly triggers cytoplasmic viral RNA sensors MDA5 and RIG-1, leading to mitochondrial apoptosis in cancer. We analyzed MDA5 and RIG-1 in the intestinal epithelium of IGF-1R knockdown mice. Igf1r+/- mice demonstrated higher MDA5 and RIG-1 than WT mice. IGF-1R knockdown-triggered MDA5 and RIG-1 was further analyzed in human cancer and normal cells. Increased MDA5 and RIG-1 were clearly seen in the cytoplasm identified by immunofluoresce in the cells silenced IGF-1R. Block off IGF-1R downstream PI3K/Akt did not impact on MDA5 and RIG-1 expression. IGF-1R knockdown-triggered MDA5 and RIG-1 and their signaling pathways were similar to those of viral RNA mimetic poly(I:C) had. IGF-1R knockdown-triggered MDA5 and RIG-1 led to cancer apoptosis through activation of the mitochondrial pathway. In vivo assay, Igf1r+/- mice strongly resisted AOM-induced colonic tumorigenesis through triggering MDA¬5- and RIG-1-mediated apoptosis. Notably, RIG-I and MDA5-mediated proapoptotic signaling pathway is preferential active in cancer cells. These data suggest that targeting IGF-1R-triggered MDA5 and RIG-1 might have therapeutic potential for cancer treatment.

Integrated single cell and bulk gene expression and ATAC-seq reveals heterogeneity and early changes in pathways associated with resistance to cetuximab in HNSCC sensitive cell lines

Project description:The identification of the potential mechanisms of resistance while tumor cells still respond to therapy is critical to develop combination therapies to delay acquired resistance. Cetuximab, an anti-EGFR therapy, is the only targeted therapy available for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We generated the first comprehensive multi-omics, bulk and single cell data in sensitive HNSCC cells to identify relevant transcriptional and epigenetic changes that are an immediate response to cetuximab in sensitive cells. These changes include genes from two pathways potentially associated with resistance: regulation of growth factor receptors through the transcription factor TFAP2A, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Single cell RNA-sequencing demonstrates inter-cell lines heterogeneity, with cell specific expression profiles of TFAP2A and VIM gene expression in cetuximab treated and untreated clones, and an independent role of each pathway. RNA-seq and ATAC-seq demonstrate that there are global transcriptional and epigenetic changes within the first five days of anti-EGFR therapy. We also experimentally verified that lack of TFAP2A reduces HNSCC growth in vitro and that this effect is enhanced with cetuximab and a stronger effect is observed with JQ1, an inhibitor of alternative receptor tyrosine kinases. Corroborating our scRNA-seq observation, TFAP2A silencing does not affect cell migration, supporting the lack of interplay with the EMT pathway. Overall, our study shows that the immediate adaptive transcriptional and epigenetic changes induced by cetuximab include relevant pathways associated with acquired resistance. Although heterogeneous, these changes can be targeted by a multiple-target drug as JQ1 that in combination with cetuximab in the early stage of treatment present better efficacy in controlling tumor growth.
