Project description:Despite significant efficacy of ibrutinib therapy in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), about one-third of MCL patients will display primary resistance. In time, secondary resistance occurs almost universally with an unlikely response to salvage chemotherapy afterwards. While intense efforts are being directed towards the characterization of resistance mechanisms, our focus is on identifying the signalling network rewiring that characterizes this ibrutinib resistant phenotype. Importantly, intrinsic genetic, epigenetic and tumour microenvironment-initiated mechanisms have all been shown to influence the occurrence of the ibrutinib resistant phenotype. By using in vitro and in vivo models of primary and secondary ibrutinib resistance as well as post-ibrutinib treatment clinical samples, we show that dual targeting of the BCL-2 and PI3-kinase signalling pathways results in synergistic anti-tumour activity. Clinically relevant doses of venetoclax, a BCL-2 inhibitor, in combination with duvelisib, a PI3Kδ/γ dual inhibitor, resulted in significant inhibition of these compensatory pathways and apoptosis induction. Our preclinical results suggest that the combination of venetoclax and duvelisib may be a therapeutic option for MCL patients who experienced ibrutinib failure and merits careful consideration for future clinical trial evaluation.

Project description:Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a proven target in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), an aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, resistance to BTK inhibitors is a major clinical challenge. We here report that MALT1 is one of the top overexpressed genes in ibrutinib-resistant MCL cells, while expression of CARD11, which is upstream of MALT1, is decreased. MALT1 genetic knockout or inhibition produced dramatic defects in MCL cell growth regardless of ibrutinib sensitivity. Conversely, CARD11-knockout cells showed antitumor effects only in ibrutinib-sensitive cells, suggesting that MALT1 overexpression could drive ibrutinib resistance via bypassing BTK/CARD11 signaling. Additionally, BTK knockdown and MALT1 knockout markedly impaired MCL tumor migration and dissemination, and MALT1 pharmacological inhibition decreased MCL cell viability, adhesion, and migration by suppressing NF-κB, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and integrin signaling. Importantly, cotargeting MALT1 with safimaltib and BTK with pirtobrutinib induced potent anti-MCL activity in ibrutinib-resistant MCL cell lines and patient-derived xenografts. Therefore, we conclude that MALT1 overexpression associates with resistance to BTK inhibitors in MCL, targeting abnormal MALT1 activity could be a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome BTK inhibitor resistance, and cotargeting of MALT1 and BTK should improve MCL treatment efficacy and durability as well as patient outcomes.

Project description:Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is characterized by overexpression of cyclin D1. Although novel drugs, such as ibrutinib, show promising clinical outcomes, relapsed MCL often acquires drug resistance. Therefore, alternative approaches for refractory and relapsed MCL are needed. Here, we examined whether a novel inhibitor of enhancer of zeste homologs 1 and 2 (EZH1/2), OR-S1 (a close analog of the clinical-stage compound valemetostat), had an antitumor effect on MCL cells. In an ibrutinib-resistant MCL patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse model, OR-S1 treatment by oral administration significantly inhibited MCL tumor growth, whereas ibrutinib did not. In vitro growth assays showed that compared with an established EZH2-specific inhibitor GSK126, OR-S1 had a marked antitumor effect on MCL cell lines. Furthermore, comprehensive gene expression analysis was performed using OR-S1-sensitive or insensitive MCL cell lines and showed that OR-S1 treatment modulated B-cell activation, differentiation, and cell cycle. In addition, we identified Cyclin Dependent Kinase Inhibitor 1C (CDKN1C, also known as p57, KIP2), which contributes to cell cycle arrest, as a direct target of EZH1/2 and showed that its expression influenced MCL cell proliferation. These results suggest that EZH1/2 may be a potential novel target for the treatment of aggressive ibrutinib-resistant MCL via CDKN1C-mediated cell cycle arrest.

Project description:BackgroundBruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a mediator of the B-cell-receptor signaling pathway implicated in the pathogenesis of B-cell cancers. In a phase 1 study, ibrutinib, a BTK inhibitor, showed antitumor activity in several types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, including mantle-cell lymphoma.MethodsIn this phase 2 study, we investigated oral ibrutinib, at a daily dose of 560 mg, in 111 patients with relapsed or refractory mantle-cell lymphoma. Patients were enrolled into two groups: those who had previously received at least 2 cycles of bortezomib therapy and those who had received less than 2 complete cycles of bortezomib or had received no prior bortezomib therapy. The primary end point was the overall response rate. Secondary end points were duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety.ResultsThe median age was 68 years, and 86% of patients had intermediate-risk or high-risk mantle-cell lymphoma according to clinical prognostic factors. Patients had received a median of three prior therapies. The most common treatment-related adverse events were mild or moderate diarrhea, fatigue, and nausea. Grade 3 or higher hematologic events were infrequent and included neutropenia (in 16% of patients), thrombocytopenia (in 11%), and anemia (in 10%). A response rate of 68% (75 patients) was observed, with a complete response rate of 21% and a partial response rate of 47%; prior treatment with bortezomib had no effect on the response rate. With an estimated median follow-up of 15.3 months, the estimated median response duration was 17.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 15.8 to not reached), the estimated median progression-free survival was 13.9 months (95% CI, 7.0 to not reached), and the median overall survival was not reached. The estimated rate of overall survival was 58% at 18 months.ConclusionsIbrutinib shows durable single-agent efficacy in relapsed or refractory mantle-cell lymphoma.

Project description:Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma characterized by poor prognosis. The complexity of MCL pathogenesis arises from aberrant activities of diverse signaling pathways, including BTK, PI3K-AKT-mTOR and MYC-BRD4. Here, we report that MCL-related signaling pathways can be altered by a single small molecule inhibitor, SRX3305. Binding and kinase activities along with resonance changes in NMR experiments reveal that SRX3305 targets both bromodomains of BRD4 and is highly potent in inhibition of the PI3K isoforms α, γ and δ, as well as BTK and the drug-resistant BTK mutant. Preclinical investigations herein reveal that SRX3305 perturbs the cell cycle, promotes apoptosis in MCL cell lines and shows dose dependent anti-proliferative activity in both MCL and drug-resistant MCL cells. Our findings underscore the effectiveness of novel multi-action small molecule inhibitors for potential treatment of MCL.

Project description:Ibrutinib, a bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was shown to have high response rates in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), an aggressive B-cell lymphoma. However, emergence of ibrutinib resistance (IR) and subsequent fatal progression is of significant clinical concern. By implementing genomics, chemical proteomics and drug screening, we report that enhancer remodeling-mediated transcriptional activation and adaptive signaling changes drive the malignant phenotype of IR. Accordingly, IR MCL cells are vulnerable to inhibition of the transcriptional machinery and especially to inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9). Thus, targeting transcriptional activation offers a novel strategy to prevent the emergence of IR and overcome IR via impeding IR-associated cellular signaling reprogramming in MCL. In addition, our ex-vivo microfluidic image-based functional drug screen can function not only as new technology platforms for predicting clinical therapeutic response but also, in conjunction with genomic profiling in primary MCL samples, identify the molecular vulnerabilities for drug resistance evolution, providing insight into the underlying IR mechanisms for MCL and other B-cell malignancies

Project description:Paclitaxel is one of the most widely used antineoplastic drugs in the clinic. Unfortunately, the occurrence of cellular resistance has limited its efficacy and application. The ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1/P-glycoprotein) and subfamily C member 10 (ABCC10/MRP7) are the major membrane protein transporters responsible for the efflux of paclitaxel, constituting one of the most important mechanisms of paclitaxel resistance. Here, we demonstrated that the Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, ibrutinib, significantly enhanced the antitumor activity of paclitaxel by antagonizing the efflux function of ABCB1 and ABCC10 in cells overexpressing these transporters. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the ABCB1 or ABCC10 protein expression was not altered after treatment with ibrutinib for up to 72 hours using Western blot analysis. However, the ATPase activity of ABCB1 was significantly stimulated by treatment with ibrutinib. Molecular docking analysis suggested the binding conformation of ibrutinib within the large cavity of the transmembrane region of ABCB1. Importantly, ibrutinib could effectively enhance paclitaxel-induced inhibition on the growth of ABCB1- and ABCC10-overexpressing tumors in nude athymic mice. These results demonstrate that the combination of ibrutinib and paclitaxel can effectively antagonize ABCB1- or ABCC10-mediated paclitaxel resistance that could be of great clinical interest.

Project description:Ibrutinib, a bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor which suppresses B-cell receptor signaling, has remarkably improved the outcome of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). However, approximately 33% of MCL patients have primary Ibrutinib resistance, and acquired Ibrutinib resistance is nearly universal. Long intergenic non-coding RNA for kinase activation (LINK-A) exerts oncogenic role in different types of tumors, but the role of LINK-A in intrinsic ibrutinib resistance in MCL is still unclear. Here, LINK-A expression level was first assessed using quantitative Real-time PCR (qPCR) and immunofluorescence analysis in five MCL cell lines. The effect of LINK-A on regulating MCL cells viability and apoptosis was assayed using CCK-8 and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, respectively. The association of LINK-A with AKT activation and B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2)expression was evaluated using qPCR and western blot analysis. We found that LINK-A level was elevated in Ibrutinib-resistant MCL cell lines (Mino, REC-1, MAVER-1, and Granta-519) compared to Ibrutinib-sensitive MCL cell lines (Jeko-1). Functionally, LINK-A overexpression in Jeko-1 cells enhanced cell viability and repressed Ibrutinib-induced cell apoptosis. LINK-A knockdown in MAVER-1 cells decreased cell viability and further accelerated Ibrutinib-induced cell apoptosis. LINK-A overexpression enhanced Bcl2 expression in Jeko-1 cells, and Bcl2 inhibition blocked the effect of LINK-A on increasing cell viability in the presence of Ibrutinib. On the contrary, LINK-A knockdown reduced Bcl2 expression in MAVER-1 cells, and Bcl2 overexpression damaged the role of LINK-A inhibition in regulating cell viability. Mechanistically, LINK-A positively regulated the activation of AKT signaling, and inhibition of AKT signaling destroyed LINK-A-induced increased of Bcl2 and resulted in a subsequent suppression of cell viability. Taken together, the current results demonstrate that LINK-A inhibition overcomes Ibrutinib resistance in MCL cells by regulating AKT/Bcl2 pathway.
