Synergistic induction of apoptosis by combination of BTK and dual mTORC1/2 inhibitors in diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Diffuse large B cell lymphoma is generally treated by chemotherapy and there is an unmet medical need for novel targeted therapies or combination therapies. Using in vitro screening, we have identified the combination of ibrutinib, an inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase BTK, and AZD2014, an mTOR catalytic inhibitor, as being highly synergistic in killing ABC-subtype DLBCL cell lines. Simultaneous inhibition of BTK and mTOR causes apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo and results in tumor regression in a xenograft model. We identify two parallel mechanisms that underlie apoptosis in this setting: cooperative inhibition of cap-dependent translation, and the inhibition of an NF-?B/IL10/STAT3 autocrine loop. Combined disruption of these pathways is required for apoptosis. These data represent a rational basis for the dual inhibition of BTK and mTOR as a potential treatment for ABC-subtype DLBCL.

Project description:Activated B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma relies on B-cell receptor signaling to drive proliferation and survival. Downstream of the B-cell receptor, the key signaling kinases Bruton's tyrosine kinase and phosphoinositide 3-kinase ? offer opportunities for therapeutic intervention by agents such as ibrutinib, ONO/GS-4059, and idelalisib. Combination therapy with such targeted agents could provide enhanced efficacy due to complimentary mechanisms of action. In this study, we describe both the additive interaction of and resistance mechanisms to idelalisib and ONO/GS-4059 in a model of activated B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Significant tumor regression was observed with a combination of PI3K? and Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the mouse TMD8 xenograft. Acquired resistance to idelalisib in the TMD8 cell line occurred by loss of phosphatase and tensin homolog and phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway upregulation, but not by mutation of PIK3CD. Sensitivity to idelalisib could be restored by combining idelalisib and ONO/GS-4059. Further evaluation of targeted inhibitors revealed that the combination of idelalisib and the phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 inhibitor GSK2334470 or the AKT inhibitor MK-2206 could partially overcome resistance. Characterization of acquired Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance revealed a novel tumor necrosis factor alpha induced protein 3 mutation (TNFAIP3 Q143*), which led to a loss of A20 protein, and increased p-I?B?. The combination of idelalisib and ONO/GS-4059 partially restored sensitivity in this resistant line. Additionally, a mutation in Bruton's tyrosine kinase at C481F was identified as a mechanism of resistance. The combination activity observed with idelalisib and ONO/GS-4059, taken together with the ability to overcome resistance, could lead to a new therapeutic option in activated B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. A clinical trial is currently underway to evaluate the combination of idelalisib and ONO/GS-4059 (NCT02457598).
