Project description:Nuclear factor kappa B activation-induced anti-apoptosis renders HER2 positive cells drug resistant and accelerates tumor growth
2025-01-24 | E-GEOD-52707 | ExpressionAtlas
Project description:Breast cancers with HER2 overexpression are sensitive to drugs targeting the receptor or its kinase activity. HER2-targeting drugs are initially effective against HER2- positive breast cancer, but resistance inevitably occurs. We previously found that nuclear factor kappa B is hyper-activated in the subset of HER-2 positive breast cancer cells and tissue specimens. In this study, we report that constitutively active NF-κB rendered HER2-positive cancer cells resistant to anti-HER2 drugs, and cells selected for Lapatinib resistance up-regulated NF-κB. In both circumstances, cells were anti-apoptotic and grew rapidly as xenografts. Lapatinib-resistant cells were refractory to HER2 and NF-κB inhibitors alone but were sensitive to their combination, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy. A subset of NF-κB-responsive genes was overexpressed in HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancers, and patients with this NF-κB signature had poor clinical outcome. Anti-HER2 drug resistance may be a consequence of NF-κB activation, and selection for resistance results in NF-κB activation, suggesting this transcription factor is central to oncogenesis and drug resistance. Clinically, the combined targeting of HER2 and NF-κB suggests a potential treatment paradigm for patients who relapse after anti-HER2 therapy. Patients with these cancers may be treated by simultaneously suppressing HER2 signaling and NF-κB activation. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression differences underlying the characterictic survival differences between the SKR6, SKR6-Vector, SKR6CA, and SKR6LR cell lines, which are defined as follows: SKR6: A clonal derivative of SKBR3 cells isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to enrich for elevated HER2 levels, SKR6CA: SKR6 cells retrovirally transduced with constitutively active NF-κB relA/p65 (CAp65) and selected with puromycin, SKR6 vector: SKR6 cells transduced with the pQCXIP empty retroviral vector and selected with puromycin, and SKR6LR: SKR6 cells treated with increasing lapatinib concentrations (0.2 to 5 μM) for several months. We sorted SKBR-3 cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to enriched for cell population with elevated HER2 expression, which we termed SKR6. The following cell lines were then created from SKR6 cells: SKR6CA: SKR6 cells retrovirally transduced with constitutively active NF-κB relA/p65 (CAp65), SKR6 vector: SKR6 cells transduced with the pQCXIP empty retroviral vector and selected with puromycin, and SKR6LR: SKR6 cells treated with increasing lapatinib concentrations (0.2 to 5 μM) for several months.

Project description:Background: Central nervous system (CNS) metastases represent a major problem in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer due to the disappointing efficacy of HER2-targeted therapies in the brain microenvironment. The antibody-drug conjugate ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) has shown efficacy in trastuzumab-resistant systemic breast cancer. Here, we tested the hypothesis that T-DM1 could overcome trastuzumab resistance in preclinical models of brain metastases. Methods: We treated mice bearing BT474 or MDA-MB-361 tumors in the CNS (N=9-11 per group), or cancer cells grown in organotypic brain slice cultures with trastuzumab or T-DM1 at equivalent or equipotent doses. Using intravital imaging, molecular techniques and histological analysis we determined tumor growth, mouse survival, cancer cell apoptosis and proliferation, tumor drug distribution, and HER2 signaling. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results: T-DM1 significantly delayed the growth of HER2-positive breast cancer brain metastases compared to trastuzumab. These findings were consistent between HER2-driven and PI3K-driven tumors. The activity of T-DM1 resulted in a striking survival benefit (median survival for BT474 tumors: 28d for trastuzumab vs 112d for T-DM1, HR=6.2, 95% CI=6.1 to 85.84; P<.001). No difference in drug distribution and HER2-signaling was revealed between the two groups. However, T-DM1 led to a significant increase in tumor cell apoptosis (One-way ANOVA for ApopTag, p<.001), which was associated with mitotic catastrophe. Conclusions: T-DM1 can overcome resistance to trastuzumab therapy in HER2-driven and PI3K-driven breast cancer brain lesions due to the cytotoxicity of the DM1 component. Clinical investigation of T-DM1 for patients with CNS metastases from HER2-positive breast cancer is warranted.

Project description:Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Among them, human epidermal growth factor receptor-positive (HER2+) breast cancer is more malignant. Fortunately, many anti-HER2 drugs are currently used in clinical treatments to increase patient survival. However, some HER2+ patients (~15%) still develop drug resistance after receiving trastuzumab treatment, leading to treatment failure. Using CCLE and METABRIC database analyses, we found that fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) mRNA was highly detected in tumors from HER2+ breast cancer patients (P<0.001) and was associated with poorer survival in breast cancer patients. Through retrospective immunohistochemical staining analysis, we detected higher expression of FGFR4 protein in breast cancer tissues collected from patients who were resistant to trastuzumab therapy compared with breast cancer patients who responded to treatment. An FGFR4 inhibitor (FGF401) effectively inhibits tumor growth in trastuzumab-insensitive patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumor-bearing mice. For molecular mechanism studies, we demonstrated that HER2/FGFR4 protein complexes were detected on the cell membrane of the tumor tissues in these trastuzumab-insensitive PDX tumor tissues. After trastuzumab treatment in these drug-resistant breast cancer cells, FGFR4 translocates and enters the nucleus. However, trastuzumab-induced nuclear translocation of FGFR4/HER2-intracellular domain protein complex in trastuzumab-resistant cancer cells is blocked by FGF401 treatment. We believe that FGFR4 overexpression and complex formation with HER2 can serve as molecular markers to assist clinicians in identifying trastuzumab-resistant tumors. Our results suggest that FGF401 combined with trastuzumab as adjuvant therapy for patients with trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer may be a potential new treatment strategy.

Project description:Inhibition of the HER2/ERBB2 receptor is a keystone to treating HER2-positive malignancies, particularly breast cancer, but a significant fraction of HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancers recur or fail to respond. Anti-HER2 monoclonal antibodies, like trastuzumab or pertuzumab, and ATP active site inhibitors like lapatinib, commonly lack durability because of adaptive changes in the tumor leading to resistance. HER2-directed therapy using clinically relevant drugs (trastuzumab with or without lapatinib or pertuzumab) in a 7-day clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01875666, LCCC1214) designed to examine early pharmacodynamic response to antibody-based anti-HER2 therapy showed reduced FOXA1 transcription factor expression was coincident with decreased HER2 and HER3 levels, decreased proliferation gene signatures, and increased immune gene signatures. Patient samples from this trial, when sufficient material was available, were also subjected to kinase enrichment using multiplexed kinase inhibitor bead affinity chromatography and LC-MS/MS. Strongly responsive transcriptional responses observed in a subset of patients corresponded to decreased binding of CDK1 and DDR1 by our proteomic approach. Taken together, our results highlight the importance of the immune response to anti-HER2 antibodies and suggests that inhibiting FOXA1-mediated adaptive responses in combination with HER2 targeting is a potential therapeutic strategy.

Project description:The aberrant activation of HER2 has a pivotal role in bone metastasis implantation and progression in several tumor types, in-cluding prostate cancer (PC). Trastuzumab and other anti-HER2 therapies, such as lapatinib, have been used in human breast cancer HER2 positive. Although HER2 overexpression has been reported in PC, anti-HER2 therapy response has revealed conflicting results. We investigated the potential of lapatinib in inhibiting cell migration and inducing apoptosis in two human (LNCaP and PC3) and two canine PC cell lines (PC1 and PC2). Cell migration and apoptosis were evaluated by Annexin V/PI analysis after lapatinib treatment. The transcriptome analysis of all cell lines before and after treatment with lapatinib was also performed. We found increased apoptosis and migration inhibition in LNCaP cells (androgen-sensitive cell line), while PC1, PC2, and PC3 cells showed no alterations after the treatment. The transcriptome analysis of LNCaP and PC3 cell lines showed 158 dysregulated transcripts in common, while PC1 and PC2 cell lines presented 82. At the doses of lapatinib used, we observed transcriptional modifications in all cell lines. PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway were enriched in human PC cells, while canine PC cells showed en-richment of tyrosine kinase antitumor response and HER2-related pathways. In canine PC cells, the apoptosis failed after lapatinib treatment, possibly due to the downregulation of MAPK genes. Prostate cancer cells insensitive to androgens may be resistant to lapatinib through PI3K gene dysregulation. The association of lapatinib with PI3K inhibitors may provide a more effective anti-tumor response and clinical benefits to PC patients.

Project description:In this study we used bioluminescent reporter mice to discover that transplantable tumors cause nuclear factor-kappa B activation in host macrophages. This effect is mostly aggravated in mouse models of malignant pleural effusion, is dependent on KRAS mutation status of tumor cells, and is delivered via secretory versican, a toll-like receptor 2 ligand. Versican, in turn activates nuclear factor-kappa B in host macrophages via the canonical inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappa B kinase beta (IKKbeta), resulting in release of myeloid-secreted interleukin-1beta in the tumor microenvironment. Silencing of versican in cancer cells or conditional deletion of IKKbeta in macrophages abrogates myeloid nuclear factor-kappa B activation as well as tumor progression.
