Synergistic activity and heterogeneous acquired resistance of combined MDM2 and MEK inhibition in KRAS mutant cancers

ABSTRACT: There are currently no effective targeted therapies for KRAS mutant cancers. Therapeutic strategies that combine MEK inhibitors with agents that target apoptotic pathways may be a promising therapeutic approach. We investigated combining MEK and MDM2 inhibitors as a potential treatment strategy for KRAS mutant non-small cell lung cancers and colorectal carcinomas that harbor wild-type TP53. The combination of pimasertib (MEK inhibitor) + SAR405838 (MDM2 inhibitor) was synergistic and induced the expression of PUMA and BIM, led to apoptosis and growth inhibition in vitro, and tumor regression in vivo. Acquired resistance to the combination commonly resulted from the acquisition of TP53 mutations, conferring complete resistance to MDM2 inhibition. In contrast, resistant clones exhibited marked variability in sensitivity to MEK inhibition, which significantly impacted sensitivity to subsequent treatment with alternative MEK inhibitor-based combination therapies. These results highlight both the potential promise and limitations of combining MEK and MDM2 inhibitors for treatment of KRAS mutant NSCLC and CRC.

Trametinib + HDM201 in CRC Patients With RAS/RAF Mutant and TP53 Wild-type Advanced/Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Mutant and TP53 Wild-type

Project description:Recent preclinical studies suggest that combining MEK and MDM2 inhibition synergize to induce apoptosis in RAS/BRAF-mutant and TP53 wild-type CRC models. In vitro, in RKO cell lines (poorly differentiated colon carcinoma cell line resistant to single agent targeting MDM2 and MEK and BRAF inhibition), the MDM2 plus MEK inhibitor combination generated a synergistic increase in apoptotic index. In vivo, in mice harboring human RKO colon tumor xenografts the combination of MDM2 plus MEK inhibition elicited 93% decreases in tumor volume. This trial is to conduct a single-center, Phase 1 dose escalation study of trametinib combined with HDM201 (a HDM2 inhibitor) in patients with advanced/metastatic RAS/RAF mutant and TP53 wt CRC.

Inhibiting tankyrases sensitizes KRAS mutant cancer cells to MEK inhibitors by FGFR2 feedback signaling

Project description:Tankyrases (TNKS) play roles in Wnt signaling, telomere homeostasis and mitosis, offering attractive targets for anti-cancer treatment. Using unbiased combination screening in a large panel of cancer cell lines, we have identified a strong synergy between TNKS and MEK inhibitors in KRAS mutant cancer cells. Our study uncovers a novel function of TNKS in the relief of a feedback loop induced by MEK inhibition on FGFR2 signaling pathway. Moreover, dual inhibition of TNKS and MEK leads to more robust apoptosis and anti-tumor activity both in vitro and in vivo than effects observed by previously reported MEK inhibitor combinations. Altogether, our results show how a novel combination of TNKS and MEK inhibitors can be highly effective in targeting KRAS mutant cancers by suppressing a newly discovered resistance mechanism. This experiment is designed to detect genes differentially expressed in the combination treatment compared to others SW480 cells were seeded in 10cm dishes and treated for 4h and 16h with DMSO, TNKS inhibitor (TNKSi : NVP-TNKS656), MEK inhibitor (MEKi : AZD6244) or the combination of both at 1uM final

Targeting β-catenin overcomes resistance to MEK inhibitor in PIK3CA mutant colon cancer

Project description:Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MEK 1/2) are central components of the RAS signaling pathway and attractive targets for cancer therapy. However, PIK3CA mutation, which commonly co-occurs with KRAS mutation, offered resistance to MEK inhibitor through activation of PI3K-AKT signaling. We identified a gene that cooperates with MEK inhibitors to forcefully treat PIK3CA mutant colon cancer cells. -catenin, a key molecule of the WNT pathway, emerged as a candidate by protein/Ab Chip array. MEK inhibitor treatment led to a decrease in -catenin in PIK3CA wild-type colon cancer cells but not in PIK3CA mutant colon cancer cells. Tumor regression was promoted by a combination of MEK inhibitor and NVP-TNS656, which targets the WNT pathway. Furthermore, combined inhibition of MEK and -catenin by NVP-TNS656 promoted tumor regression in colon cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models expressing mutant PIK3CA. Taken together, we propose that inhibition of the WNT pathway, particularly -catenin, may bypass resistance to MEK inhibitor in human PIK3CA mutant colon cancer. Additionally, -catenin is a potential PD marker of MEK inhibitor resistance. In the study, we identified and evaluated biomarker for response to MEK inhibitor on colon cancer cells.

Durable Suppression of Acquired MEK Inhibitor Resistance in Cancer by Sequestering MEK from ERK and Promoting Anti-Tumor T-cell Immunity [single-cell RNA-seq]

Project description:Disruption of the MAPK pathway in cancer by kinase inhibition often fails due to pathway reactivation, causing clinical relapse. Among MAPK inhibitors, type I RAF inhibitors are only active against specific BRAF mutants; MEK inhibitor monotherapy is associated with limited clinical benefits but may serve as a foundation for combinatorial therapy. Here, we show that type II RAF plus allosteric MEK inhibitors durably blunt the development of acquired MEK inhibitor resistance among cancers with KRAS, NRAS, NF1, BRAFnon-V600 and BRAFV600 mutations, when compared to a combination of type II RAF plus ERK inhibitors. Type II RAF and MEK (versus ERK) inhibitors also display superior capacity to sequester MEK in RAF complexes and uncouple MEK and ERK interaction in acquired resistant tumor subpopulations. Systemically and intratumorally, type II RAF plus MEK inhibitors expand memory and activated/exhausted CD8+ T-cells. Whereas trametinib alone temporally reduces dominant intra-tumoral T-cell clones, type II RAF inhibitor co-treatment reverses this effect and promotes T-cell clonotypic expansion and convergence. Importantly, durably control of tumors by this combination requires CD8+ T-cells. Thus, the prolonged anti-tumor efficacy of type II RAF plus MEK inhibitors reveals exquisite MAPK addiction in common lethal cancer histologies, and the mechanisms include unexpected allosteric perturbation of the MAPK pathway and engagement of anti-tumor CD8+ T-cell immunity.

RNA-seq of pancreatic mouse tumor cell lines

Project description:KRAS-mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is highly immunosuppressive and resistant to targeted therapies, immune checkpoint blockade and engineered T cells. In this study, we performed a systematic high throughput combinatorial drug screen and identified a synergistic interaction between the MEK inhibitor trametinib and the multi-kinase inhibitor nintedanib. Using bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing and immunophenotyping, we show that the combination therapy reprograms the immunosuppressive microenvironment and primes cytotoxic and memory T cells to infiltrate the tumors, thereby sensitizing mesenchymal PDAC to PD-L1 inhibition.
