BMSC-derived leptin and IGFBP2 promote erlotinib resistance in lung adenocarcinoma cells through IGF-1R activation in hypoxic environment.

ABSTRACT: EGFR-TKIs such as erlotinib and gefitinib have been introduced into the first-line treatment for patients having a mutation of deletion in exon 19 or L858R missense mutations in exon 21. Almost all patients who respond to EGFR-TKIs at first place eventually develop acquired resistance after several months of therapy. The secondary mutations and bypass signaling activation are involved in the generation of the resistance. Hypoxia in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an important factor in treatment resistance including radiotherapy, chemotherapy and EGFR-TKI therapy. In this study, the effect of hypoxic cancer microenvironment in the bypass signaling activation was investigated. We found that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) residing in the hypoxic solid cancer microenvironment highly produced molecules associated with adipocytes including adipokine leptin and IGFBPs. Leptin could induce the resistance of lung cancer cells to erlotinib through activating IGF-1R signaling. IGFBP2 counteracted the activation role of IGF-1 and induced erlotinib resistance by activating IGF-1R signaling in an IGF-1 independent manner. IGFBP2 had synergistic effect with leptin to induce erlotinib resistance. Leptin and IGFBP2 may be predictive factors for acquired resistance for EGFR-TKIs.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Binding of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1) to its receptor (IGF-1R) initiates downstream signals that activate PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MEK/Erk pathways, which stimulate cancer cell proliferation and induce drug resistance. Cross talk between IGF-1R and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mediates resistance to anti-EGFR agents. We studied safety, tolerability, and outcomes of MK-0646, IGF-1 monoclonal antibody, in combination with gemcitabine (G) ± erlotinib (E) in metastatic pancreatic cancer. METHODS:Our study included a phase I dose escalation and phase II randomization and expansion cohorts. A 3?+?3 dose escalation protocol was used to determine MK-0646 maximum tolerable dose (MTD) in combination with G ± E standard doses. For phase II, patients were randomized to arm A (G + MK), arm B (G + MK + E), or arm C (G + E). Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), disease control rate, toxicity, and correlation between OS and IGF-1 in patients treated with MK-0646. RESULTS:MK-0646 MTD was 10 mg/kg in combination with G and 5 mg/kg in combination with G + E. In randomization cohort, 15 patients were treated in each arm. Disease control rates were 50, 60, and 40% respectively. PFS was not different between the three arms. OS was significantly different between arm A (10.4 months) and C (5.7 months) (P?=?0.02). However, addition of erlotinib in arm B yielded no OS benefit compared to arm A (P?=?0.6). Plasma and tissue IGF-1 levels did not correlate with OS (P?=?0.64, 0.87). Grade 3-4 toxicity during phase II cohorts were neutropenia (10/arm A, 14/arm B, 5/arm C), leukopenia (5/A, 5/B, 7/C), thrombocytopenia (8/A, 9/B, 2/C), hyponatremia (1/A, 3/B), and hyperglycemia (8/A, 1/B). CONCLUSIONS:MK-0646 was tolerable in combination with G and associated with improvement in OS but not PFS as compared with G + E. Tissue and serum IGF-1 did not correlate with clinical outcome. TRIAL REGISTRATION:This trial is registered in ClinicalTrial.gov under the Identifier NCT00769483 and registration date was October 9, 2008.
