Project description:KRAS mutations are the ost abundand driver mutations found in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Unfortunately, there are no clinical approved inhibitors available, to directly target mutant forms of KRAS. The aim of the study was to unravel the impact of upstream Egfr activation in signaling of mutated K-ras. We found that upregulation of G12D mutant Kras induced genes was significantly impaired when Egfr was knocked out. Our data suggests that signaling of mutant Kras depends on upstream activation. This finding may be exploited therapeutically by targeting EGFR in KRAS mutant patients.

Project description:In managing patients with rat sarcoma virus (RAS) wild-type (WT) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), monoclonal antibodies against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) represent a key therapeutic strategy. However, their limited ongoing effectiveness in this setting underscores the importance of elucidating other factors that affect response, including underlying immunological and metabolic repertoires. An emerging therapeutic target, glutamine metabolism is crucial for cancer cell growth; symbiotically, tumor glutamine demand relative to the microenvironment disadvantages potential anti-tumor immunity. We conducted a phase I/II clinical trial in patients with RAS WT mCRC combining panitumumab, an EGFR inhibitor, and CB-839, a glutaminase inhibitor, hypothesizing that antagonizing glutamine-centric tri-carboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolism and mitogen-activated pathway kinase (MAPK)-mediated growth would favor response in well-selected patients. Here, we demonstrate that a novel B cell activation signature, ‘Bscore’ was associated with clinical benefit from combined therapy in patients who previously progressed on anti-EGFR therapy. Patient ‘Bscore’ was positively associated with treatment-induced change in lesion size. Furthermore, patients with lower ‘Bscore’ tended to exhibit greater tumor avidity of glutamine by non-invasive positron emission tomography (PET), suggesting the sensitivity of B cell activation to a glutamine-depleted microenvironment and highlighting future opportunities to enhance immune response in the treatment of mCRC and potentially other glutaminolysis-dependent solid tumors.

Project description:Molecular composition of circulating small extracellular vesicles (EVs) does not merely reflect the cells of origin, but also is enriched in specific biomolecules directly associated with the cellular transformation. Given their functional and clinical relevance, small EVs have emerged as a promising target among the liquid biopsy approaches for cancer detection. However, while most of the currently identified EV-miRs are only geared towards one-dimensional disease detection, their application for long-term tracking and treatment response monitoring has been largely elusive. In this study, we established and optimized a rapid, sensitive and robust liquid biopsy sampling method, and further used small RNA sequencing to comprehensively catalogue EV-miRomes in association with the progression and outcome of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). By cross-comparison of EV-miRomes (n = 290) from multi-stage and longitundial cohorts, we uncovered 28 EV-miRs for detecting mCRC, and 131 EV-miRs for long-term monitoring of tumor size progression. Among these candidates, we further pinpointed a 15-EV-miR signature with dual detection and monitoring functions for mCRC. From this panel, EV-miR-320c was uncovered as a strong clinical marker – aside from its diagnostic power, its high expression has also been linked to lower overall survival and a greater likelihood of disease recurrence. Furthermore, target spectrum of this 15-EV-miR signature of mCRC suggested an involvement of small EVs in programming the mesenchymal–epithelial transition (MET) transition for distant localization of the metastasized cells and also in creating a tumor-favoring metastatic niche. Our clinically-oriented delineation of the mCRC-associated circulating EV-miRomes revealed the functional significance of these liquid biopsy markers and further strengthen their translational potential in tumor therapeutic monitoring.

Project description:Abstract: RAS-like (RAL) GTPases function in Wnt signalling-dependent intestinal stem cell proliferation and regeneration. Whether RAL proteins work as canonical RAS effectors in the intestine, and the mechanisms of how they contribute to tumorigenesis remain unclear. Here, we show that RAL GTPases are necessary and sufficient to activate EGFR/MAPK signalling in the intestine. We identify non-canonical roles of RAL GTPases not as RAS effectors, but rather by acting upstream of RAS activation via induction of EGFR internalisation . Knocking down Drosophila RalA from intestinal stem and progenitor cells leads to increased levels of plasma membrane-associated EGFR and decreased MAPK pathway activation. Importantly, in addition to impacting stem cell proliferation and damage-induced intestinal regeneration, this function of RAL GTPases drives EGFR-dependent tumorigenic growth in the intestine and in human mammary epithelium. Altogether, our results reveal previously unrecognised cellular and molecular contexts where RAL GTPases become essential mediators of EGFR-driven tissue homeostasis and malignant transformation. Results: RalA is required within ISCs to induce midgut adult midgut regeneration following damage by oral infection with Erwinia carotovora carotovora 15 (Ecc15) (Johansson et al., 2019). To achieve a global view of intestinal pathways affected by RalA, we performed a transcriptomic analysis by RNAseq of whole midguts from vehicle treated (Mock) or damaged (Ecc15 fed) control animals or following RalA knockdown in intestinal stem and progenitor cells using the escargot-gal4 driver (ISC/EB>) (Micchelli and Perrimon, 2006). Consistent with its effect on ISC proliferation (Johansson et al., 2019), RalA knockdown significantly impaired damage-induced upregulation of cell cycle genes in the midgut. Additionally, levels of multiple transcriptional targets of the EGFR/MAPK pathway (Golembo et al., 1996; Hsu et al., 2001; Jin et al., 2015; Meng and Biteau, 2015), such as argos (aos), rhomboid (rho), Sox21a and string (stg) were increased following Ecc15 infection in control midguts. The upregulation of these target genes was significantly impaired upon RalA knockdown.

Project description:EGFR targeted therapy is in clinical use to treat squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and other cancers of lining epithelium. Activating Ras mutations are a negative prognostic factor for response to EGFR ablation therapy in multiple cancer types. Furthermore, the major adverse consequence of this therapy is an acneiform papulopustular eruption on normal skin. To better understand Ras signaling in an EGFR depleted environment, we performed gene expression profiling on oncogenic Ras transformed and wildtype mouse keratinocytes with EGFR ablated chronically by genetic deletion or acutely by drug treatment. We were able to identify a 25 gene signature specific to the Ras-EGFR ablation interaction and a distinct 19 gene EGFR ablation signature on normal keratinocytes. EGFR ablation in the context of wildtype Ras reduces ontologies favoring cell cycle control and transcription while ablation in the context of oncogenic Ras enriches ontologies for ion channels and membrane transporters, particularly focused on calcium homeostasis. The study showed substantial differences in ontologies between chronic EGFR ablation and acute pharmacological ablation, both with and without Ras activation. Pathway and biochemical analysis indicates that activation of p38α is a response to both acute and chronic abrogation of EGFR signaling under conditions of Ras activation. This was confirmed in oncogenic RAS transformed human keratinocytes and in tumors developing in orthografts of EGFR ablated mouse keratinocytes transformed by oncogenic Ras. EGFR ablation in the absence of oncogenic Ras revealed Erk and IL-1β related pathways. These findings reveal previously unrecognized interactions between Ras and EGFR signaling in squamous tumor cells that could influence the therapeutic response to EGFR ablation therapy.

Project description:While patients with microsatellite instable, metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) benefit from immune checkpoint blockade, chemotherapy with targeted therapies remains the only therapeutic option for microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors. The single arm, phase IB/II MEDITREME trial evaluates safety and efficacy of durvalumab plus tremelimumab in combination with mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy in first line, in 57 patients with RAS-mutant unresectable mCRC. Safety was primary objective of phase IB and no safety issue was observed. The primary objective of phase II was efficacy in terms of 3-month PFS in MSS patients, which was met with a 3 month PFS of 90.7% [95% CI: 79.2-96%]. For secondary objective, response rate was 64.5%, median PFS was 8.2 months [95% CI: 5.9–8.6] and overall survival was not reached in MSS patients. Higher tumor mutational burden and a lower degree of genomic instability in responder patients. Integrated transcriptomic analysis underlined that high immune signature, and low epithelio-mesenchymal transition were associated with better outcome. Immunomonitoring showed induction of neoantigen and NY-ESO1 and TERT blood tumor specific T cell response associated with better PFS. The combination of durvalumab-tremelimumab with mFOLFOX6 was tolerable with promising clinical activity in MSS mCRC.

Project description:The Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) gene is the most frequently mutated oncogene in colorectal cancer (CRC). We previously characterized two activating alleles of KRAS, A59T and A59E, that show impaired BRAF dimerization. These alleles of KRAS are enriched in CRC tumors with genetic alterations in genes that regulate MAPK signaling (e.g. EGFR, NF1). Using a new conditional mouse model of K-Ras (LSL-K-Ras A59E) we show that, despite its inability to universally activate RAF kinases, K-Ras A59E disturbs colon epithelium and decreases mouse survival in a tumor model. By combining LSL-K-Ras A59E mice with a conditional knockout of Nf1, we demonstrate cooperation between these alleles at multiple levels. Consistent with cooperation and clinical observations, we show that K-Ras A59E neither promotes EGF independence of organoid growth, nor confers intrinsic resistance to EGFR inhibition. Thus, our data provide a deeper understanding of the role of RAF isoforms in mutant KRAS driven CRC and argue for the use of anti-EGFR therapies against some Ala59 mutant alleles of KRAS.
