Transcriptional targets of oncogenic RAS proteins that mediate their ability to induce cellular transformation

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the NRAS oncogene are present in up to 20% of melanoma. Here, we show that interferon alpha-inducible protein 6 (IFI6) is necessary for NRASQ61K-induced transformation and melanoma growth. IFI6 was transcriptionally upregulated by NRASQ61K, and knockdown of IFI6 resulted in DNA replication stress due to dysregulated DNA replication via E2F2. This stress consequentially inhibited cellular transformation and melanoma growth via senescence or apoptosis induction depending on the RB and p53 pathway status of the cells. NRAS-mutant melanoma were significantly more resistant to the cytotoxic effects of DNA replication stress-inducing drugs, and knockdown of IFI6 increased sensitivity to these drugs. Pharmacological inhibition of IFI6 expression by the MEK inhibitor trametinib, when combined with DNA replication stress-inducing drugs, blocked NRAS-mutant melanoma growth. Collectively, we demonstrate that IFI6, via E2F2 regulates DNA replication and melanoma development and growth, and this pathway can be pharmacologically targeted to inhibit NRAS-mutant melanoma. MEL-ST cells expressing either empty vector or mutant oncogenic RAS genes (HRAS v12, KRAS v12, NRAS Q61K) were used to isolate total RNA. The RNA was then used to perform gene expression analyses using the Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 Expression BeadChip array.

Regulators of NRAS-mediated transformation and melanoma tumor maintenance

YUGASP cells stably expressing a non-silencing shRNA or two individual shRNAs against IFI6 were used to prepare the total RNA, which was then used to analyze for gene expression using Illumina expression array.

Pharmacological Targeting of Casein Kinase 1δ Suppresses Oncogenic NRAS-Driven Melanoma

Project description:Activating mutations in NRAS account for 20-30% of melanoma, yet effective anti-NRAS therapies are still lacking. In this study, we unveil the casein kinase 1δ (CK1δ) as an uncharacterized regulator of oncogenic NRAS mutations, specifically Q61R and Q61K, which are the most prevalent NRAS mutations in melanoma. The genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of CK1δ markedly destabilizes NRAS mutants and suppresses their oncogenic functions. Moreover, we identify USP46 as a bona fide deubiquitinase of NRAS mutants. Mechanistically, CK1δ directly phosphorylates USP46 and activates its deubiquitinase activity towards NRAS mutants, thus promoting oncogenic NRAS-driven melanocyte malignant transformation and melanoma progression in vitro and in vivo. Our findings underscore the significance of the CK1δ-USP46 axis in stabilizing oncogenic NRAS mutants and provide preclinical evidence that targeting this axis holds promise as a therapeutic strategy for human melanoma harboring NRAS mutations.

Low MITF/AXL ratio predicts early resistance to multiple targeted drugs in melanoma

Project description:Increased MITF expression contributes to melanoma progression and resistance to BRAF pathway inhibition. We show that, unexpectedly, lack of MITF is associated with more severe resistance to a range of inhibitors. Indeed, the presence of endogenous MITF was essential for robust drug responses. Both in primary and acquired resistance, MITF levels inversely correlated with expression of several activated receptor tyrosine kinases, most commonly AXL. The MITF-low/AXL-high/drug resistance phenotype was seen in roughly half of BRAF mutant and the majority of NRAS mutant melanoma cell lines. The dichotomous behavior of MITF in drug response was corroborated in vemurafenib-resistant biopsies, including MITF high and low clones in a relapsed patient. Drug cocktails containing AXL inhibitor enhanced melanoma cell elimination by BRAF or ERK inhibition. Our results demonstrate that a low MITF/AXL ratio predicts early resistance to multiple targeted drugs, and warrant clinical validation of AXL inhibitors to combat resistance of BRAF and NRAS mutant MITF-low melanomas. Experssion analysis by RNAseq of 14 melanoma cell lines.

Increased microtubule growth is required for extracellular vesicle mediated HER2 paracrine signaling to promote melanoma cancer cell invasion

Project description:The acquisition of cell invasiveness is the key transition from benign melanocyte hyperplasia to aggressive melanoma. Recent work using non-melanoma cancer cells has provided an intriguing new link between the presence of supernumerary centrosomes and increased cell invasion. Moreover, supernumerary centrosomes were shown to drive non-cell-autonomous invasion of cancer cells. Although centrosomes are the principle microtubule organizing centers the role of dynamic microtubules for non-cell-autonomous invasion remains unexplored, in particular in melanoma. We investigated the role of supernumerary centrosomes and dynamic microtubules in melanoma cell invasion and found that highly invasive melanoma cells are characterized by the presence of supernumerary centrosomes and by increased microtubule growth rates, both of which are functionally interlinked. We demonstrate that enhanced microtubule growth is required for increased 3D melanoma cell invasion. Moreover, we show that the activity to enhance microtubule growth can be transferred to adjacent non-invasive cells through extracellular vesicles harboring HER2 that are required for increased cell invasion of melanoma cells into 3D matrices. Hence, our study suggests that suppressing microtubule growth, either directly using anti-microtubule drugs or through HER2 inhibitors might be therapeutically beneficial to inhibit cell invasiveness and thus, metastasis of malignant melanoma.

BRAF and MEK inhibitor combinations induce potent molecular and immunological effects in NRAS-mutant melanoma cells – insights into mode of action and resistance mechanisms

Project description:About 25% of melanoma harbor activating NRAS mutations, which are associated with aggressive disease therefore requiring a rapid anti-tumor intervention. However, no efficient targeted therapy options are currently available for patients with NRAS-mutant melanoma. MEK inhibitors (MEKi) appear to display a moderate anti-tumor activity and also immunological effects in NRAS-mutant melanoma, providing an ideal backbone for combination treatments. In this study, the MEKi binimetinib, cobimetinib, and trametinib combined with the BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) encorafenib, vemurafenib, and dabrafenib were investigated for their ability to inhibit proliferation, induce apoptosis and alter the expression of immune modulatory molecules in sensitive NRAS-mutant melanoma cells using 2D and 3D cell culture models and transcriptome analyses. Furthermore, NRAS-mutant melanoma cells resistant to the three BRAFi/MEKi combinations were established to characterize the mechanisms contributing to their resistance. All BRAFi induced a stress response in the sensitive NRAS-mutant melanoma cells thereby significantly enhancing the anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activity of the MEKi analyzed. Furthermore, BRAFi/MEKi combinations upregulated immune relevant molecules, such as ICOS-L, components of antigen-presenting machinery and the “don’t eat me signal” molecule CD47 in the melanoma cells. The BRAFi/MEKi-resistant, NRAS-mutant melanoma cells counteracted the molecular and immunological effects of BRAFi/MEKi by upregulating downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway molecules, inhibiting apoptosis and promoting immune escape mechanisms. Together, this study reveals potent molecular and immunological effects of BRAFi/MEKi in sensitive NRAS-mutant melanoma cells that may be exploited in new combinational treatment strategies for patients with NRAS-mutant melanoma.

Identification of new therapies for the treatment ofBRAF/NRAS wild type melanomas

Project description:Despite recent therapeutic advances in the management of BRAFV600-mutant melanoma, there is still a compelling need for more effective treatments for patients who developed BRAF/NRAS wild type disease. Since the activity of single targeted agents is limited by innate and acquired resistance, we performed a high-throughput drug screen using 180 drug combinations to generate over 17,000 viability curves, with the aim of identifying agents that synergise to kill BRAF/NRAS wild type melanoma cells. From this screen we identified a promising drug combination that efficiency kills 30% of melanoma cell lines. We validated in vivo the synergy of the drug combination and found a potential marker to identify sensitive tumors. We applied a genome-wide CRISPR screening which revealed that resistance mechanisms to the drug combination. In order to investigate the mechanism of drug synergy, we treated sensitive and resistance melanoma cell lines with the single drugs and the drug combination and performed proteome analyses to investigate the changes in total proteins and protein phosphorylation. These analysis highlighted specific pathway deregulations associated to the drug synergy that allowed to get a better understanding of the drug interaction and their efficacy in killing melanoma cell lines.
