Pim1 Kinase Inhibitors Exert Anti-Cancer Activity Against HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Cells Through Downregulation of HER2.

ABSTRACT: The proviral integration site for moloney murine leukemia virus 1 (Pim1) is a serine/threonine kinase and able to promote cell proliferation, survival and drug resistance. Overexpression of Pim1 has been observed in many cancer types and is associated with the poor prognosis of breast cancer. However, it remains unclear whether Pim1 kinase is a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer patients. In this study, we found that Pim1 expression was strongly associated with HER2 expression and that HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cells were more sensitive to Pim1 inhibitor-induced inhibitions of cell viability and metastatic ability. Mechanistically, Pim1 inhibitor suppressed the expression of HER2 at least in part through transcriptional level. More importantly, Pim1 inhibitor overcame the resistance of breast cancer cells to HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor lapatinib. In summary, downregulation of HER2 by targeting Pim1 may be a promising and effective therapeutic approach not only for anti-cancer growth but also for circumventing lapatinib resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer patients.

Novel Anti-HER2 Antibody-Drug Conjugates Versus T-DM1 for HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer After Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Treatment.

Project description:BackgroundAntibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been the preferred regimens for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) after trastuzumab. Unfortunately, there is little data showing which ADCs should be chosen for those patients whose treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) failed. This study aims to analyze the efficacy and safety between novel anti-HER2 ADCs and trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) for those with TKIs failure.Materials and methodsHER2-positive MBC using ADCs from January 2013 to June 2022 were included, and all of them were treated with TKIs. The primary study endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary study endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), and safety.ResultsA total of 144 patients with 73 patients in the novel anti-HER2 ADCs group and 71 patients in the T-DM1 group. In these novel ADCs, 30 patients received trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-Dxd), 43 patients receive other novel ADCs. The median PFS in the novel ADCs group and T-DM1 group were 7.0 months versus 4.0 months, respectively, and ORR was 54.8% versus 22.5%, CBR was 65.8% versus 47.9%, respectively. In subgroups analysis, the PFS were both significantly improved in patients receiving T-Dxd and other novel ADCs compared with T-DM1. The most common grades 3-4 adverse events in the novel anti-HER-2 ADCs group were neutropenia (20.5%) and thrombocytopenia (28.1%) in the T-DM1 group.ConclusionsIn patients with HER2-positive MBC previously treated with TKIs, both T-Dxd and other novel anti-HER2 ADCs yielded statistically significant better PFS than T-DM1 did, with tolerable toxicities.

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in the Combination Therapy of HER2 Positive Breast Cancer.

Project description:Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer (BC) accounts for about 20% to 30% of all BC subtypes and is characterized by invasive disease and poor prognosis. With the emergence of anti-HER2 target drugs, HER2-positive BC patient outcomes have changed dramatically. However, treatment failure is mostly due to drug resistance and the special treatment needs of different subgroups. Small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors can inhibit multiple targets of the human epidermal growth factor receptor family and activate PI3K/AKT, MAPK, PLC γ, ERK1/2, JAK/STAT, and other pathways affecting the expression of MDM2, mTOR, p27, and other transcription factors. This can help regulate the differentiation, apoptosis, migration, growth, and adhesion of normal cells and reverse drug resistance to a certain extent. These inhibitors can cross the blood-brain barrier and be administered orally. They have a good synergistic effect with effective drugs such as trastuzumab, pertuzumab, t-dm1, and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors. These advantages have resulted in small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors attracting attention. The new small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor was investigated in multi-target anti-HER2 therapy, showed a good effect in preclinical and clinical trials, and to some extent, improved the prognosis of HER2-positive BC patients. Its use could lead to a de-escalation of treatment in some patients, possibly preventing unnecessary procedures along with the associated side effects and costs.

HER2-positive breast cancer and tyrosine kinase inhibitors: the time is now.

Project description:Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer accounts for 20-25% of all breast cancers. Multiple HER2-targeted therapies have been developed over the last few years, including the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) lapatinib, neratinib, tucatinib, and pyrotinib. These drugs target HER2 and other receptors of the epidermal growth factor receptor family, therefore each has unique efficacy and adverse event profile. HER2-directed TKIs have been studied in the early stage and advanced settings and have shown promising responses. There is increasing interest in utilizing these drugs in combination with chemotherapy and /or other HER2-directed agents in patients with central nervous system involvement, TKIs have shown to be effective in this setting for which treatment options have been previously limited and the prognosis remains poor. The aim of this review is to summarize currently approved TKIs for HER2+ breast, key clinical trials, and their use in current clinical practice.

Immunotherapies against HER2-Positive Breast Cancer.

Project description:Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. HER2-positive breast cancer, which represents 15-20% of all cases, is characterized by the overexpression of the HER2 receptor. Despite the variety of treatments available for HER2-positive breast cancer, both targeted and untargeted, many patients do not respond to therapy and relapse and eventually metastasize, with a poor prognosis. Immunotherapeutic approaches aim to enhance the antitumor immune response to prevent tumor relapse and metastasis. Several immunotherapies have been approved for solid tumors, but their utility for HER2-positive breast cancer has yet to be confirmed. In this review, we examine the different immunotherapeutic strategies being tested in HER2-positive breast cancer, from long-studied cancer vaccines to immune checkpoint blockade, which targets immune checkpoints in both T cells and tumor cells, as well as the promising adoptive cell therapy in various forms. We discuss how some of these new approaches may contribute to the prevention of tumor progression and be used after standard-of-care therapies for resistant HER2-positive breast tumors, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of each. We conclude that immunotherapy holds great promise for the treatment of HER2-positive tumors, with the potential to completely eradicate tumor cells and prevent the progression of the disease.

Identification of quinones as novel PIM1 kinase inhibitors.

Project description:PIM1 is a proto-oncogene encoding the serine/threonine PIM1 kinase. PIM1 kinase plays important roles in regulating aspects of cell cycle progression, apoptosis resistance, and has been implicated in the development of such malignancies as prostate cancer and acute myeloid leukemia among others. Knockout of PIM1 kinase in mice has been shown to be non-lethal without any obvious phenotypic changes, making it an attractive therapeutic target. Our investigation of anthraquinones as kinase inhibitors revealed a series of quinone analogs showing high selectivity for inhibition of the PIM kinases. Molecular modeling studies were used to identify key interactions and binding poses of these compounds within the PIM1 binding pocket. Compounds 1, 4, 7 and 9 inhibited the growth of DU-145 prostate cancer cell lines with a potency of 8.21μM, 4.06μM, 3.21μM and 2.02μM.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors in HER2-positive breast cancer brain metastases: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundSmall tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) show activity against breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM) of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive subtype. This meta-analysis aimed to objectively explore the efficacy and safety of TKIs.MethodsElectronic databases were searched for relevant clinical trials. We conducted a pairwise meta-analysis, pooled analysis, and estimated summary survival curves to compare survival outcomes following TKIs therapy for BCBM patients using Stata version 16.0 or R x64 4.0.5.ResultsThirteen clinical trials involving 987 HER2-positive BCBM patients were analyzed. A trend of longer progression-free survival (PFS) was observed in the TKI-containing arm compared to the non-TKI-containing arm (hazard ratio = 0.64, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.35-1.15, p = 0.132), although the difference is not statistically significant. Summary survival curves reported the summary median PFS and overall survival were 7.9 months and 12.3 months. Subgroup analysis revealed that TKIs combined with capecitabine (TKI + Cap) regimens resulted in improved survival outcomes. Tucatinib may be more effective in BCBM patients. The main grade 3-5 adverse events (AEs) were diarrhea (22%, 95% CI: 14%-32%), neutropenia (11%, 95% CI: 5%-18%), hepatic toxicity (7%, 95% CI: 1%-16%), and sensory neuropathy (6%, 95% CI: 2%-12%).ConclusionTKIs therapy improved the survival outcomes of HER2-positive BCBM patients, especially when combined with capecitabine and tolerable AEs. We also identified the clinical value of tucatinib, which appears to be the most favorable TKI drug for BCBM patients.

Anti-HER2 Drugs for the Treatment of Advanced HER2 Positive Breast Cancer.

Project description:Opinion statementApproximately 15-20% of breast cancers (BC) demonstrate HER2 overexpression/gene amplification. Historically, before the era of HER2-directed therapies, this subtype was associated with poor prognosis. Anti-HER2 agents dramatically changed the natural course of disease and significantly prolonged patients' survival. In recent years, a number of new anti-HER2 therapies have been developed, and their approvals offer new therapeutic options for patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. At present, HER2 pathway blocking drugs used in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer worldwide include trastuzumab and pertuzumab in the first-line treatment; trastuzumab deruxtecan and trastuzumab emtansine in the second line; and tucatinib, neratinib, lapatinib, and margetuximab in further lines of treatment of advanced HER2 positive breast cancer. Additionally, there are many clinical trials underway evaluating drugs blocking the HER2 pathway in advanced disease setting. This article presents new treatment options, discussing the most important findings from clinical trials and real-world reports, clinical benefits and risks of treatment, as well as efficacy of re-treatment with trastuzumab in metastatic breast cancer. New data challenge the current standards, and a number of questions arise regarding the optimal sequence of anti-HER2 targeted therapies, the optimal combination, including endocrine agents in luminal HER2 positive tumors and treatment of special patient population such as patients with brain metastases (BM).

Structural analysis of PIM1 kinase complexes with ATP-competitive inhibitors.

Project description:PIM1 is an oncogenic kinase overexpressed in a number of cancers where it correlates with poor prognosis. Several studies demonstrated that inhibition of PIM1 activity is an attractive strategy in fighting overexpressing cancers, while distinct structural features of ATP binding pocket make PIM1 an inviting target for the design of selective inhibitors. To facilitate development of specific PIM1 inhibitors, in this study we report three crystal structures of ATP-competitive inhibitors at the ATP binding pocket of PIM1. Two of the reported structures (CX-4945 and Ro-3306) explain the off-target effect on PIM1 of respectively casein kinase 2 and cyclin-dependent kinase 1 dedicated inhibitors. In turn, the structure with CX-6258 demonstrates a binding mode of a potent, selective inhibitor of PIM1, PIM2, PIM3 and Flt-3 kinases. The consequences of our findings for future inhibitor development are discussed.

The role of irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the treatment of HER2-Positive metastatic breast cancer.

Project description:Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is the leading cause of cancer death in women. For patients with HER2-positive MBC, after the failure of multiple lines of treatment, there is no optimal line of therapy. A series of clinical trials confirmed that treatment with irreversible pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in combination with chemotherapy significantly improves patients' survival outcomes. This review focuses on the pathogenesis of HER2-positive breast cancer, current standard treatments, mechanisms of approved irreversible TKIs, and key clinical trials. The available findings suggest that irreversible pan-HER TKIs, such as pyrotinib and neratinib, in combination with chemotherapy, represent a beneficial salvage therapy for patients with HER2-positive MBC with manageable toxicity. However, further studies are needed to assess the efficacy and safety of this combination therapy.
