Impact of phosphoinositide-3-kinase and vitamin D3 nuclear receptor single-nucleotide polymorphisms on the outcome of malignant melanoma patients.

ABSTRACT: Several studies associating single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) frequencies with tumors outcome have been conducted, nevertheless malignant melanoma literature data are inconclusive.Therefore we evaluate the impact of different genotypes for phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) and vitamin D3 nuclear receptor (VDR) SNPs on melanoma patients' outcome.Genomic DNA of 88 patients was extracted from blood and tumor samples. SNPs were determined by PCR using TaqMan assays. We selected polymorphisms of the regulatory and catalytic subunit of PI3K (PIK3R1 and PIK3CA genes, respectively), analyzing rs2699887C>T of PIK3CA and rs3730089G>A of PIK3R1 SNPs. Furthermore we considered the following VDR SNPs: rs2228570A>G (Fok1), rs731236A>G (Taq1) and rs1544410C>T (Bsm1).Progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and with Mantel-Haenszel log-rank test.The statistical analysis for Fok1 of VDR showed a significant difference in PFS after the first line therapy (median PFS= 21.2 months in the homozygous recessive genotype group vs. 3.3 months of homozygous dominant and heterozygous ones, p= 0.03). In particular, in homozygous recessive patients for Fok1 SNPs of VDR a high rate of histological regression and BRAF (B- Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma gene) mutation were observed. Furthermore, more efficacy of BRAF +/- MEK (MAPK-ERK-Kinase) inhibitors therapies in homozygous recessive patients vs. homozygous dominant and heterozygous ones was shown.Our study showed a significant correlation between homozygous recessive genotype of Fok1 SNPs of VDR gene and an increased PFS in patients who underwent a first line therapy with BRAF inhibitors.

Project description:Although PIKFYVE phosphoinositide kinase inhibitors can selectively eliminate PIKFYVE-dependent human cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, the basis for this selectivity has remained elusive. Here we show that the sensitivity of cells to the PIKFYVE inhibitor WX8 is not linked to PIKFYVE expression, macroautophagic/autophagic flux, the BRAFV600E mutation, or ambiguous inhibitor specificity. PIKFYVE dependence results from a deficiency in the PIP5K1C phosphoinositide kinase, an enzyme required for conversion of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) into phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns[4,5]P2/PIP2), a phosphoinositide associated with lysosome homeostasis, endosome trafficking, and autophagy. PtdIns(4,5)P2 is produced via two independent pathways. One requires PIP5K1C; the other requires PIKFYVE and PIP4K2C to convert PtdIns3P into PtdIns(4,5)P2. In PIKFYVE-dependent cells, low concentrations of WX8 specifically inhibit PIKFYVE in situ, thereby increasing the level of its substrate PtdIns3P while suppressing PtdIns(4,5)P2 synthesis and inhibiting lysosome function and cell proliferation. At higher concentrations, WX8 inhibits both PIKFYVE and PIP4K2C in situ, which amplifies these effects to further disrupt autophagy and induce cell death. WX8 did not alter PtdIns4P levels. Consequently, inhibition of PIP5K1C in WX8-resistant cells transformed them into sensitive cells, and overexpression of PIP5K1C in WX8-sensitive cells increased their resistance to WX8. This discovery suggests that PIKFYVE-dependent cancers could be identified clinically by low levels of PIP5K1C and treated with PIKFYVE inhibitors.Abbreviations: DMSO: dimethylsulfoxide; ELISA: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; LC3-I: microtubule associated protein light chain 3-I; LC3-II: microtubule associated protein light chain 3-II; MS: mass spectrometry; PtdIns: phosphatidylinositol; PtdIns3P: PtdIns-3-phosphate; PtdIns4P: PtdIns-4-phosphate; PtdIns5P: PtdIns-5-phosphate; PtdIns(3,5)P2: PtdIns-3,5-bisphosphate; PtdIns(4,5)P2/PIP2: PtdIns-4,5-bisphosphate; PtdIns(3,4,5)P3/PIP3: PtdIns-3,4,5-trisphosphate; PIKFYVE: phosphoinositide kinase, FYVE-type zinc finger containing; PIK3C3: phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 3; PI4KA: phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase alpha; PI4KB: phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase beta; PI4K2A: phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase type 2 alpha; PI4K2B: phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase type 2 beta; PIP4K2A: phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase type 2 alpha; PIP4K2B: phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase type 2 beta; PIP4K2C: phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase type 2 gamma; PIP5K1A: phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase type 1 alpha; PIP5K1B: phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase type 1 beta; PIP5K1C: phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase type 1 gamma; WX8: 1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (4-anilino-6-[4-morpholinyl]-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)hydrazone.
