A four-arm study of A375 melanoma cell line-derived xenograft tumors in NSG mice treated with Vemurafenib and CB839

ABSTRACT: Melanoma is a rare but deadly form of skin cancer, which is often treated with BRAF inhibitors such as Vemurafenib (referred to as PLX4032). Whilst Vemurafenib prolongs the survival of patients, BRAF inhibitor resistance inevitably occurs in most cases. Previous studies demonstrated that metabolic rewiring occurs in BRAF inhibitor resistance and causes dependence on glutamine. To investigate whether this vulnerability could be exploited with clinically relevant drugs, we used the BRAF inhibitor, Vemurafenib, and the glutaminase imhibitor, CB839 to treat A375-derived melanoma xenografted tumors. We showed that whilst CB839 did not significantly affect the growth of A375-derived tumors compared to those given a vehicle, the addition of CB839 to Vemurafenib treatment had a significant anti-tumor effect. Tumors were taken at the endpoint (Max tumor length 15mm) from the 6 mice in each treatment group and cut into fragments and stored in RNAlater for RNAseq analysis. RNA extraction was performed on 1-3 fragments per tumor to make up 200-300mg of tissue.

Braf inhibitors reverse the unique molecular signature and phenotype of hairy cell leukemia, and exert anti-leukemic activity

Project description:Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) shows unique clinico-pathological and biological features. HCL responds well to purine analogues but relapses are frequent and novel therapies are required. BRAF-V600E is the key driver mutation in HCL and distinguishes it from other B-cell lymphomas, including HCL-like leukemias/lymphomas (HCL-variant and splenic marginal zone lymphoma). The kinase-activating BRAF-V600E mutation also represents an ideal therapeutic target in HCL. Here, we investigated the biological and therapeutic importance of the activated BRAF-MEK-ERK pathway in HCL by exposing in vitro primary leukemic cells purified from 26 patients to clinically available BRAF (Vemurafenib; Dabrafenib) or MEK (Trametinib) inhibitors. Results were validated in vivo in samples from Vemurafenib-treated HCL patients within a phase-2 clinical trial. BRAF and MEK inhibitors caused, specifically in HCL (but not HCL-like) cells, marked MEK/ERK dephosphorylation, silencing of the BRAF-MEK-ERK pathway transcriptional output, loss of the HCL-specific gene expression signature, downregulation of the HCL markers CD25, TRAP and cyclin-D1, smoothening of leukemic cells' hairy surface, and, eventually, apoptosis. Apoptosis was partially blunted by co-culture with bone marrow stromal cells antagonizing MEK-ERK dephosphorylation. This protective effect could be counteracted by combined BRAF and MEK inhibition. Our results strongly support and inform the clinical use of BRAF and MEK inhibitors in HCL. Analysis of differential gene expression in primary leukemic cells purified from peripheral blood of 6 HCL patients (from A to F), treated with Vemurafenib 1000 nM, in comparison with vehicle-treated (DMSO) HCL cells, for 48 hours or/and 72 hours. 24 gene expression profiles were analysed.

Expression data from BRAFV600E A375 melanoma cells treated with vehicle or vemurafenib

Project description:Vemurafenib is a BRAF inhibitor with specificity for the most common BRAF mutant encountered in melanomas (BRAFV600E). Vemurafenib suppresses the proliferation of BRAF mutant human melanoma cells by suppressing downstream activation of the MEK/ERK mitogen activated protein kinases. We used microarrays to examine the transcriptional response of a vemurafenib-sensitive BRAFV600E human melanoma cell line (A375) to vemurafenib in order to further delineate the mechanisms by which BRAFV600E drives cell proliferation and energy metabolism in human melanoma. BRAFV600E A375 human melanoma cells were treated with vehicle (0.1% DMSO) or 10 uM vemurafenib for 24 h after which total RNA was extracted. Cells were prepared and RNA was extracted in 3 separate batches (three different cell stocks on three separate days) providing three independent replicates (n=3). Paired replicates (prepared from the same stock of cells on the same day) are denoted by A, B and C.

RNAseq changes in mouse wound with or without time course treatment by Vemurafenib

Project description:BRAF inhibitors are highly effective therapies for patients with BRAF V600 mutated metastatic melanoma. Patients who receive BRAF inhibitors develop a variety of hyper-proliferative skin conditions, whose pathogenic basis is the paradoxical activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in BRAF wild-type cells. Most of these hyper-proliferative skin changes improve when a MEK inhibitor is co-administered, as a MEK inhibitor blocks paradoxical MAPK activation. We tested whether we could take advantage of the mechanistic understanding of the skin hyper-proliferative side effects of BRAF inhibitors to accelerate skin wound healing by inducing paradoxical MAPK activation. Here we show that the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib accelerates human keratinocyte proliferation and migration by increasing ERK phosphorylation and cell cycle progression. Topical treatment with vemurafenib in two wound-healing models in mice accelerated cutaneous wound healing and improved the tensile strength of healing wounds through paradoxical MAPK activation; addition of a MEK inhibitor reversed the benefit of vemurafenib-accelerated wound healing. The same dosing regimen of topical BRAF inhibitor did not increase the incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in mice even after the application of a carcinogen. Therefore, topical BRAF inhibitors may have clinical applications in accelerating the healing of skin wounds. Full depth incisional wound mice tissues with/without Vemurafenib treatment were sent for RNAseq analysis on day 2, 6 and 14

RNAseq of barley leaf and roots exposed to control and drought stress conditions

Project description:In this study, we used transcriptomic and hormonomic approaches to examine drought-induced changes in barley roots and leaves and its rhizosphere. By studying hormonal responses, alternative splicing events in barley, and changes in the rhizosphere microbiome, we aimed to provide a comprehensive view of barley drought-adaptive mechanisms and potential plant-microbe interactions under drought stress. This approach improved our understanding of barley adaptive strategies and highlighted the importance of considering plant-microbe interactions in the context of climate change.

Polyamine and EIF5A hypusination downstream of c-Myc confers targeted therapy resistance in BRAF mutant melanoma

Project description:BRAF inhibitors are widely employed in the treatment of melanoma with the BRAF V600E mutation. However, the development of resistance greatly compromises their therapeutic efficacy. Here, we elucidate the role of polyamine biosynthesis and its regulatory mechanisms in promoting BRAF inhibitor resistance. Leveraging CRISPR-Cas9 screens, we identify AMD1 (S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase 1), a critical enzyme for polyamine biosynthesis, as a druggable target whose inhibition reverses vemurafenib resistance. Metabolomic and proteomic analyses reveal that polyamine biosynthesis is upregulated in vemurafenib-resistant cancer, resulting in enhanced EIF5A hypusination, translation of mitochondrial proteins and oxidative phosphorylation. We also identify that sustained c-Myc levels in vemurafenib-resistant cancer are responsible for elevated polyamine biosynthesis. Finally, inhibition of polyamine biosynthesis or c-Myc reversed vemurafenib resistance both in vitro and in vivo in a xenograft model. With the polyamine biosynthesis signature correlated with poor prognosis in BRAF mutant melanoma patients, our findings reveal that the polyamine-hypusination-mitochondrial respiration pathway is an effective therapeutic target that can maximize the therapeutic efficacy of existing BRAF inhibitors.

Ezrin inhibition overcomes acquired resistance to vemurafenib in BRAFV600E-mutated colon cancer and melanoma cells in vitro

Project description:In spite of the advancements in targeted therapy for BRAFV600E-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), the development of resistance to BRAFV600E inhibition limits the response rate and durability of the treatment. Better understanding of the resistance mechanisms to BRAF inhibitors will facilitate the design of novel pharmacological strategies for BRAF-mutated mCRC. The aim of this study was to identify novel protein candidates involved in acquired resistance to BRAFV600E inhibitor vemurafenib in BRAFV600E-mutated colon cancer cells using an integrated proteomics approach. Our study suggests a role of ezrin in acquired resistance to vemurafenib in colon cancer and melanoma cells carrying BRAFV600E mutation and supports further pre-clinical and clinical studies to explore the benefits of combined BRAF inhibitors and actin-targeting drugs as a potential therapeutic approach for BRAFV600E-mutated cancers.
