MYC drives resistance to PI3K/mTOR targeted inhibition (gene expression)

ABSTRACT: Gene expression signatures were measured after treatment of cells with 50nM BEZ235. Affymetrix HG-U133AV2 expression arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions using RNA extracted by Qiagen RNeasy from engineered human cell-lines grown for 72h in the presence of 50nM BEZ235 Resulting expression signatures where derived based on phenotypic properties(resistance to BEZ235) of the cells (enriched vs GFP/HR).

The PI3K pathway is frequently activated in cancer; therefore, considerable effort is focused on identifying compounds that can inhibit specific pathway components, particularly the hallmark oncogene PIK3CA. Although targeted inhibition of a cancer survival gene holds significant promise, there are concerns that drug resistance may emerge within the cancerous cells, thus limiting clinical efficacy. Using genetically defined human mammary epithelial cells, we evolved resistance to the PI3K/mammal ...[more]

Project description:Mutations in Hedgehog (Hh) pathway genes, leading to constitutive activation of Smoothened (Smo), occur in sporadic medulloblastoma, the most common brain cancer in children. Antagonists of Smo induce tumor regression in mouse models of medulloblastoma and hold great promise for targeted therapy for this tumor. However, acquired resistance has emerged as one of the major challenges of targeted cancer therapy. Here, we describe novel mechanisms of acquired resistance to Smo antagonists in medulloblastoma. NVP-LDE225, a potent and selective Smo antagonist, inhibits Hh signaling and induces tumor regressions in allograft models of medulloblastoma that are driven by mutations of Patched (Ptch), a tumor suppressor in the Hh pathway. However, after long-term treatment, evidence of acquired resistance was observed. Genome-wide profiling of resistant tumors revealed distinct mechanisms to evade the inhibitory effects of Smo antagonists. Chromosomal amplification of Gli2, a downstream effector of Hh signaling, reactivated Hh signaling and restored tumor growth. Analysis of pathway gene-expression signatures selectively deregulated in resistant tumors identified increased phosphoinosite-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling as another potential resistance mechanism. Probing the functional relevance of increased PI3K signaling, we showed that the combination of NVP-LDE225 with the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor NVP-BEZ235 markedly delayed the development of resistance. Our findings have important clinical implications for future treatment strategies in medulloblastoma. mRNA profiling: RNA was prepared from tumours from vehicle or NVP-LDE225 treated nude mice allografted with medulloblastoma tumors derived from Ptch+/-p53-/- transgenic mouse and hybridized on Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 RNA expression array. The dosage terminology (BID & QD) reflects the dosing schedule, where BID = twice a day, QD = once a day. aCGH: DNA was prepared from tumors from vehicle or NVP-LDE225 treated nude mice allografted with medulloblastoma tumors derived from Ptch+/-p53-/- transgenic mouse and hybridized on Agilent mouse CGH 244K Array.
