MALDI mass spectrometry imaging of erlotinib administered in combination with bevacizumab in xenograft mice bearing B901L, EGFR-mutated NSCLC cells.

ABSTRACT: Combination therapy of erlotinib plus bevacizumab improves progression-free survival of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFR-mutated) advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared with erlotinib alone. Although improved delivery and distribution of erlotinib to tumours as a result of the normalization of microvessels by bevacizumab is thought to be one of the underlying mechanisms, there is insufficient supporting evidence. B901L cells derived from EGFR-mutated NSCLC were subcutaneously implanted into mice, and mice were treated with bevacizumab or human IgG followed by treatment with erlotinib. The distribution of erlotinib in their tumours at different times after erlotinib administration was analysed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI). We also analysed the distribution of erlotinib metabolites and the distribution of erlotinib in tumours refractory to erlotinib, which were established by long-term treatment with erlotinib. We found that erlotinib was broadly diffused in the tumours from B901L-implanted xenograft mice, independently of bevacizumab treatment. We also found that erlotinib metabolites were co-localized with erlotinib and that erlotinib in erlotinib-refractory tumours was broadly distributed throughout the tumour tissue. Multivariate imaging approaches using MALDI MSI as applied in this study are of great value for pharmacokinetic studies in drug development.

Bevacizumab counteracts VEGF-dependent resistance to erlotinib in an EGFR-mutated NSCLC xenograft model.

Project description:Erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), shows superior efficacy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring activating EGFR mutations (EGFR Mut+). However, almost all tumors eventually develop resistance to erlotinib. Recently, the Phase II JO25567 study reported significant prolongation of progression-free survival (PFS) by erlotinib plus bevacizumab combination compared with erlotinib in EGFR Mut+ NSCLC. Herein, we established a preclinical model which became refractory to erlotinib after long-term administration and elucidated the mode of action of this combination. In this model, tumor regrowth occurred after remarkable shrinkage by erlotinib; regrowth was successfully inhibited by erlotinib plus bevacizumab. Tumor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was greatly reduced by erlotinib in the erlotinib-sensitive phase but significantly increased in the erlotinib-refractory phase despite continued treatment with erlotinib. Although EGFR phosphorylation remained suppressed in the erlotinib-refractory phase, phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK), phosphorylated AKT, and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3) were markedly higher than in the erlotinib-sensitive phase; among these, pERK was suppressed by erlotinib plus bevacizumab. MVD was decreased significantly more with erlotinib plus bevacizumab than with each drug alone. In conclusion, the erlotinib plus bevacizumab combination demonstrated promising efficacy in the B901L xenograft model of EGFR Mut+ NSCLC. Re-induction of VEGF and subsequent direct or indirect VEGF-dependent tumor growth was suggested as a major mechanism of erlotinib resistance, and erlotinib plus bevacizumab achieved remarkably prolonged antitumor activity in this model.

Ramucirumab Plus Erlotinib Versus Placebo Plus Erlotinib in Patients With Untreated Metastatic EGFR-Mutated NSCLC: RELAY Japanese Subset.

Project description:IntroductionThe phase 3 RELAY global study (NCT02411448) revealed significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) with ramucirumab plus erlotinib (RAM + ERL) compared with placebo plus ERL (PL + ERL) in untreated EGFR-mutated metastatic NSCLC (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.59 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.46-0.76, p < 0.0001]). This prespecified analysis evaluates efficacy, safety, and postprogression EGFR T790M rates of RELAY patients enrolled in Japan.MethodsPatients were randomized (1:1) to oral ERL (150 mg/d) plus intravenous RAM (10 mg/kg) or PL every 2 weeks. End points included PFS (primary), safety (secondary), and biomarker analyses (exploratory). Plasma samples collected at baseline and poststudy treatment discontinuation were evaluated for EGFR T790M mutations by next-generation sequencing.ResultsThe Japanese subset included 211 of 449 (47.0%) RELAY patients (RAM + ERL, n = 106; PL + ERL, n = 105). Median PFS was 19.4 versus 11.2 months for RAM + ERL versus PL + ERL treatment (HR = 0.610 [0.431-0.864]) in the Japanese intent-to-treat population, 16.6 versus 12.5 months (HR = 0.701 [0.424-1.159]) in the EGFR exon 19 deletion subgroup, and 19.4 versus 10.9 months (HR = 0.514 [0.317-0.835]) in the EGFR exon 21 L858R subgroup, respectively. Adverse events of grade 3 or above with RAM + ERL included hypertension (24.8%, all grade 3) and dermatitis acneiform (23.8%). Postprogression treatment-emergent T790M rates were similar between arms (RAM + ERL: 47%, 9 of 19 patients; PL + ERL: 50%, 20 of 40 patients).ConclusionsClinically meaningful efficacy was observed with RAM + ERL versus PL + ERL in the RELAY Japanese subset, with no new safety concerns. Postprogression T790M rates were similar across treatment arms, indicating the addition of RAM did not affect the ERL-associated EGFR T790M rates at disease progression.

RELAY, Erlotinib Plus Ramucirumab in Untreated, EGFR-Mutated, Metastatic NSCLC: Outcomes by EGFR Exon 19 Deletion Variants.

Project description:IntroductionEGFR gene mutations are drivers of NSCLC. The RELAY double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled phase 3 study revealed superior progression-free survival (PFS) for ramucirumab plus erlotinib (RAM + ERL) versus PBO (PBO + ERL) in patients with untreated advanced NSCLC and an EGFR-activating mutation. This exploratory analysis evaluated potential associations between EGFR exon 19 deletion (ex19del) variants and clinical outcomes.MethodsPatients (N = 449) were randomized (1:1) to RAM plus ERL or PBO plus ERL. Plasma samples were collected at baseline, on treatment, and at 30-day post-study treatment discontinuation follow-up. Baseline and treatment-emergent gene alterations were investigated by Guardant360 next-generation sequencing. Patients with a valid baseline plasma sample and ex19del were included (RAM + ERL, n = 62; PBO + ERL, n = 72).ResultsThe most common ex19del variant was E746_A750del (67.2%); EGFR E746 deletions (E746del) occurred more frequently than L747 deletions (74.6% versus 25.4%, respectively). TP53 mutations were the most frequently co-occurring baseline gene alterations. With treatment arms combined, median PFS was 18.0 months versus 12.5 months for patients with uncommon (non-E746_A750del, n = 44) versus common (E746_A750del, n = 90) ex19del variants (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.657 [95% confidence interval or CI:1.044-2.630]). Median PFS was longer with RAM plus ERL versus PBO plus ERL for patients with the common (15.2 versus 9.9 mo; HR = 0.564 [95% CI: 0.344-0.926]) and E746del (15.4 versus 9.9 mo; HR = 0.587 [95% CI: 0.363-0.951]) variants. Treatment-emergent post-progression EGFR T790M rates were higher in the common versus uncommon and E746del versus L747 deletion subgroups.ConclusionsRAM plus ERL provides benefit and improves treatment outcomes for patients with metastatic NSCLC with EGFR ex19del variants.

Expression data from EGFR WT or EGFR mutant NSCLC with or without erlotinib

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) harboring activating EGFR mutants show dramatic responses to EGFR TKIs, such as erlotinib and geffitinib. However, nearly all patients show relapse within 1 year after initial treatment. We used microarrays to detail global gene expression changes in EGFR mutant cells vs. WT cells responding to erlotinib. 4 EGFR mutant and 4 WT NSCLC cells were treated with or without erlotinib for 24 hr, followed by RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

MET amplification and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition exist as parallel resistance mechanisms in erlotinib-resistant, EGFR-mutated, NSCLC HCC827 cells.

Project description:Although many epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated lung cancer patients initially benefit from the EGFR-inhibitor erlotinib, all acquire resistance. So far, several mechanisms implicated in resistance have been identified, but the existence of multiple resistance mechanisms in parallel have only been sparsely investigated. In this study, we investigated parallel resistance mechanisms acquired by HCC827, an EGFR-mutated adenocarcinoma cell line dependent on EGFR activity and sensitive to erlotinib. The cell line was treated with erlotinib by stepwise escalation of the drug-concentration and erlotinib-resistant (HCC827ER) cells created. HCC827ER cells depicted a mixed epithelial and mesenchymal phenotype. To clarify potential parallel resistance mechanisms, 14 resistant subclones were established by limited dilution. Interestingly, all HCC827ER subclones harbored either a MET-amplification (6/14) or underwent EMT (8/14), mechanisms both found in previous studies, but not in co-occurrence. Both subclone-types were resistant to erlotinib, but only MET-subclones responded to the MET-inhibitors crizotinib and capmatinib. EMT-subclones on the other hand had markedly increased FGFR1 expression and responded to the FGFR-inhibitor AZD4547, whereas MET-subclones did not. Monitoring gene expression through the development of HCC827ER revealed upregulation of FGFR1 expression as an early response to erlotinib. In addition, FGFR1 expression increased upon short-term erlotinib treatment (48 h) identifying a physiological role immediately after erlotinib exposure. The high FGFR1 expression seen in EMT-subclones was stable even after five passages without erlotinib. Here we show, that parallel resistance mechanisms appear during erlotinib-resistance development in EGFR-mutated NSCLC cells and highlight a role for FGFR1 expression changes as an early response to erlotinib as well as a bypass-signaling mechanism.

The HDAC inhibitor panobinostat acts as a sensitizer for erlotinib activity in EGFR mutated and wildtype NSCLC cells

Project description:The receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) EGFR is overexpressed and mutated in NSCLC. These mutations can be targeted by RTK inhibitors (TKIs), such as erlotinib. Chromatin-modifying agents offer a novel therapy approach by sensitizing tumor cells to TKIs. The NSCLC cell lines HCC827 (EGFR mutant, adenocarcinoma), A549 (EGFR wt, adenocarcinoma) and NCI-H460 (EGFR wt, large cell carcinoma) were analyzed by SNP6.0 array. Changes in proliferation were quantified by WST-1 assay, apoptosis by Annexin V/7-AAD flow cytometry and histone marks (acH3, H3K4me1,-2,-3) by immunoblotting. Expectedly, the EGFR wt cell lines A549 and NCI-H460 were insensitive to the growth-inhibiting effect of single-agent erlotinib (IC50 70-100µM), compared to HCC827 (IC50 <0.02μM). Treatment with panobinostat diminished growth to <50% in both EGFR wt and <30% in HCC827 cells. The combination of both drugs significantly reduced proliferation by ≥70% in A549, >95% in HCC827, but not further in NCI-H460. Panobinostat alone induced differentiation and expression of p21WAF1/CIP1 and p53 in all three cell lines, with almost no further increase when combined with erlotinib. In contrast, combination treatment additively decreased pERK, pAKT and pEGFR in A549, and synergistically induced acH3 in both adenocarcinoma lines. Surprisingly, we also saw an induction of H3K4 methylation marks in all three cell lines. In conclusion, panobinostat synergistically sensitized lung adenocarcinoma cells to the antiproliferative effects of erlotinib. Since single-agent erlotinib has only modest clinical effects in adenocarcinoma EGFR wt patients, combination therapy with an HDACi might offer a promising therapy approach to extend this activity. Copy-number analysis of three NSCLC cell lines HCC827, A549 and NCI-H460 (in unicates) was performed according to protocol by Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP-Array 6.0.

The HDAC inhibitor panobinostat acts as a sensitizer for erlotinib activity in EGFR mutated and wildtype NSCLC cells

Project description:Background: The receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) EGFR is overexpressed and mutated in NSCLC. These mutations can be targeted by RTK inhibitors (TKIs) such as erlotinib. Chromatin-modifying agents may offer a novel therapeutic approach by sensitizing tumor cells to TKIs. Methods: The NSCLC cell lines HCC827 (EGFR mutant, adenocarcinoma), A549 (EGFR wt, adenocarcinoma) andNCI-H460 (EGFR wt, large cell carcinoma) were analyzed by SNP6.0 array. Changes in proliferation after panobinostat (LBH-589, PS) and erlotinib treatment were quantified by WST-1 assay and apoptosis by Annexin V/7-AAD flow cytometry. Abundance of target proteins and histone marks (acH3, H3K4me1/2/3) was determined by immunoblotting. Results: As expected, the EGFR wt cell lines A549 and NCI-H460 were quite insensitive to the growth-inhibitory effect of single-agent erlotinib (IC50 70-100 μM), compared to HCC827 (IC50 < 0.02 μM). PS treatment diminished growth to <50 % in both EGFR wt cells, and <30 % in HCC827. The combination of both drugs reduced proliferation by >95 % in HCC827, ≥70 % in A549, but not further in NCI-H460. PS alone induced differentiation and expression of p21WAF1/CIP1 and p53 and decreased CHK1 in all three cell lines, with almost no further effect when combined with erlotinib. In contrast, combination treatment additively decreased pEGFR, pERK, pAKT in A549, and synergistically induced acH3 in both adenocarcinoma lines. Surprisingly, we saw an induction of H3K4 methylation marks after erlotinib treatment in HCC827 (and to a lesser extent in A549) that was even further enhanced by combination with PS. Conclusion: We were able to show that PS synergistically sensitized lung adenocarcinoma cells to the antiproliferative effects of erlotinib. Since single-agent erlotinib has only modest clinical effects in lung adenocarcinoma EGFR wt patients, its combination with an HDACi might offer a promising therapy approach.

Constitutive Cell Proliferation Regulating Inhibitor of Protein Phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) Mediates Drug Resistance to Erlotinib in an EGFR Activating Mutated NSCLC Cell Line.

Project description:Exploring mechanisms of drug resistance to targeted small molecule drugs is critical for an extended clinical benefit in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients carrying activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Here, we identified constitutive cell proliferation regulating inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) in the HCC4006rErlo0.5 NSCLC cell line adapted to erlotinib as a model of acquired drug resistance. Constitutive CIP2A resulted in a constitutive activation of Akt signaling. The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib was able to reduce CIP2A levels, which resulted in an activation of protein phosphatase 2A and deactivation of Akt. Combination experiments with erlotinib and bortezomib revealed a lack of interaction between the two drugs. However, the effect size of bortezomib was higher in HCC4006rErlo0.5, compared to the erlotinib-sensitive HCC4006 cells, as indicated by an increase in Emax (0.911 (95%CI 0.867-0.954) vs. 0.585 (95%CI 0.568-0.622), respectively) and decrease in EC50 (52.4 µM (95%CI 46.1-58.8 µM) vs. 73.0 µM (95%CI 60.4-111 µM), respectively) in the concentration-effect model, an earlier onset of cell death induction, and a reduced colony surviving fraction (0.38 ± 0.18 vs. 0.95 ± 0.25, respectively, n = 3, p < 0.05). Therefore, modulation of CIP2A with bortezomib could be an interesting approach to overcome drug resistance to erlotinib treatment in NSCLC.
