Covalent inhibitor design confers activity against both GDP- and GTP-bound forms of KRAS G12C

ABSTRACT: The discovery of KRAS G12C inactive state inhibitors represents a significant advancement in the field of precision oncology. While inactive state inhibition shows promise in patients, SWII-binding inhibitors targeting both inactive and active states remain an underdeveloped therapeutic modality. Here, we describe the discovery of KRAS G12C dual inhibitors that bind the SWII allosteric site using a chemically differentiated warhead to covalently modify both KRAS G12C inactive and active states. Co-crystal structures reveal that these inhibitors perturb a key water-mediated hydrogen bonding network and trigger allosteric remodeling of the GTP-bound protein surface and Switch I to prevent binding to downstream effectors. Consistent with simultaneous targeting of the active and inactive state, dual inhibitors provide rapid covalent target engagement and suppression of MAPK signaling. However, KRAS G12C dual and inactive state inhibitors demonstrate similar efficacy in cellular and in vivo models despite faster target inhibition afforded by targeting the active state. Furthermore, KRAS G12C dual and inactive state inhibitors show similar cellular efficacy in the presence of growth factors that drive KRAS, wt NRAS and wt HRAS to the active state. These data provide the first detailed account of targeting the active and inactive state of KRAS and highlight the absence of a mechanistic advantage in the context of prolonged KRAS G12C inhibition and efficacy.

Project description:Small molecule KRASG12C(OFF) inhibitors that bind to the inactive GDP-bound state of KRAS have demonstrated efficacy in patients with KRASG12C mutant tumors, yet responses tend to be transient due to on-treatment resistance. Recently, a RAS(ON) G12C-selective inhibitor, which binds to the active GTP-bound state of KRAS, was introduced into the clinical settings. We generated cell line and PDX resistant models to KRAS G12C(OFF) and RAS(ON) G12C-selective inhibitors that displayed a variety of resistance mechanisms similar to the ones observed in human studies. Here we interrogated resistance mechanisms using a multi-omics strategy consisting of phosphoproteomics, exome sequencing, and RNA-sequencing then coupled these analyses to functional testing using small molecule screens, CRISPR screens and combination with RAS(ON) inhibitors that have entered clinical trials. We found two models that reactivate RAS signaling, either via KRASG12C gene amplification or NRASG13R mutation, and showed that tumors driven by these resistance mechanisms are vulnerable to dual inhibition by either RAS(ON) G12C-selective combined with RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor. Two models, which lack any discernable genomic alteration, acquired resistance associated with increased receptor tyrosine kinase activity and downstream persistent RAS activity, were sensitive to RAS-GTP inhibition by RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor. Finally, one model displayed epithelial-mesenchymal transition, loss of RAS activity and acquired dependence on cell cycle kinases and proteins associated with DNA damage response. Our work highlights KRASi-resistant states that could potentially be overcome with a RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor as a standalone agent or in carefully tailored combinations. It also identifies resistant tumors that have reduced RAS dependance, thereby necessitating alternative therapeutic strategies. These datasets compare parental LUN156 patient-derived xenograft tumors to those with acquired resistance to the KRAS G12C inhibitors, Adagrasib (AR) and RM-4998 (RR).

Project description:Mutant KRAS (mut-KRAS) is present in 30% of all human cancers and plays a critical role in cancer cell growth and resistance to therapy. There is evidence from colon cancer that mut-KRAS is a poor prognostic factor and negative predictor of patient response to molecularly targeted therapy. However, evidence for such a relationship in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is conflicting. KRAS mutations are primarily found at codons 12 and 13, where different base changes lead to alternate amino acid substitutions that lock the protein in an active state. The patterns of mut-KRas amino acid substitutions in colon cancer and NSCLC are quite different, with aspartate (D) predominating in colon cancer (50%) and cysteine (C) in NSCLC (47%). Through an analysis of a recently completed biopsy biomarker-driven, molecularly targeted multi-arm trial of 215 evaluable patients with refractory NSCLC we show that mut-KRas-G12C/V but not total mut-KRAS predicts progression free survival for the overall group, and for the sorafenib and vandetanib treatment arms. Transcriptome microarray data shows differential expression of cell cycle genes between mut-KRas-G12C/V and G12D patient tumors. A panel of NSCLC cell lines with known mut-KRas amino acid substitutions was used to identify pathways activated by the different mut-KRas, showing that mut-KRas-G12D activates both PI-3-K and MEK signaling, while mut-KRas G12C does not, and alternatively activates RAL signaling. This finding was confirmed using immortalized human bronchial epithelial cells stably transfected with wt-KRAS and different forms of mut-KRAS. Molecular modeling studies show that the different conformation imposed by mut-KRas-G12C could lead to altered association with downstream signaling transducers compared to wild type and mut-KRas-G12D. The significance of the findings for developing mut-KRAS therapies is profound, since it suggests that not all mut-KRas amino acid substitutions signal to effectors in a similar way, and may require different therapeutic interventions. Gene expression profiles were measured in 22 core biopsies from patients with refractory non-small cell lung cancer included in the Biomarker-integrated Approaches of Targeted Therapy for Lung Cancer Elimination (BATTLE). All tumors were KRAS mutants, but with different patterns of amino acid substitutions. Supervised analysis of transcriptome profiling was performed to compare cysteine or valine KRAS mutants with other KRAS mutants.
