Distinct CDK6 complexes determine tumor cell response to CDK4/6 inhibitors and degraders.

ABSTRACT: CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) are effective in metastatic breast cancer, but they have been only modestly effective in most other tumor types. Here we show that tumors expressing low CDK6 rely on CDK4 function, and are exquisitely sensitive to CDK4/6i. In contrast, tumor cells expressing both CDK4 and CDK6 have increased reliance on CDK6 to ensure cell cycle progression. We discovered that CDK4/6i and CDK4/6 degraders potently bind and inhibit CDK6 selectively in tumors in which CDK6 is highly thermo-unstable and strongly associated with the HSP90/CDC37 complex. In contrast, CDK4/6i and CDK4/6 degraders are ineffective in antagonizing tumor cells expressing thermostable CDK6, due to their weaker binding to CDK6 in these cells. Thus, we uncover a general mechanism of intrinsic resistance to CDK4/6i and CDK4/6i-derived degraders and the need for novel inhibitors targeting the CDK4/6i-resistant, thermostable form of CDK6 for application as cancer therapeutics.

Distinct CDK6 complexes determine tumor cell response to CDK4/6 inhibitors and degraders

Project description:This data set belongs to the publication 'Distinct CDK6 complexes determine tumor cell response to CDK4/6 inhibitors and degraders' from Xuewei Wu et al (PI: Poulikos I. Poulikakos) and contains the mass spectrometry files for affinity purification of endogenous CDK6 from tumor cell lines either sensitive or resistant to CDK4/6 inhibitors. The data showed a higher degree of interaction of CDK6 with components of the HSP90/CDC37 chaperoning complex in CDK4/6i-sensitive compared to CDK4/6i-resistant cells.

CDK4-CDK6 inhibitors induce autophagy-mediated degradation of DNMT1 and facilitate the senescence antitumor response.

Project description:Senescence is a natural anticancer defense program disabled in tumor cells. We discovered that deregulated CDK4 (cyclin dependant kinase 4) and CDK6 activities contribute to senescence bypass during tumorigenesis and that their inhibition restores the senescence response in tumor cells. CDK4 and CDK6 phosphorylate RB1/RB, preventing its inhibitory interaction with the E2Fs, the cell cycle transcription factors. However, we also found that CDK4 interacts and phosphorylates the DNMT1 (DNA methyltransferase 1) protein protecting it from macroautophagy/autophagy-mediated protein degradation. This discovery highlights a new epigenetic component of CDK4-CDK6 signaling that could be exploited in cancer treatment.

Targeting CDK4 and CDK6 in cancer.

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and CDK6 are critical mediators of cellular transition into S phase and are important for the initiation, growth and survival of many cancer types. Pharmacological inhibitors of CDK4/6 have rapidly become a new standard of care for patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. As expected, CDK4/6 inhibitors arrest sensitive tumour cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. However, the effects of CDK4/6 inhibition are far more wide-reaching. New insights into their mechanisms of action have triggered identification of new therapeutic opportunities, including the development of novel combination regimens, expanded application to a broader range of cancers and use as supportive care to ameliorate the toxic effects of other therapies. Exploring these new opportunities in the clinic is an urgent priority, which in many cases has not been adequately addressed. Here, we provide a framework for conceptualizing the activity of CDK4/6 inhibitors in cancer and explain how this framework might shape the future clinical development of these agents. We also discuss the biological underpinnings of CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance, an increasingly common challenge in clinical oncology.

Dual CDK4/CDK6 inhibition induces cell-cycle arrest and senescence in neuroblastoma.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer that continues to exact significant morbidity and mortality. Recently, a number of cell-cycle proteins, particularly those within the Cyclin D/CDK4/CDK6/RB network, have been shown to exert oncogenic roles in neuroblastoma, suggesting that their therapeutic exploitation might improve patient outcomes.We evaluated the effect of dual CDK4/CDK6 inhibition on neuroblastoma viability using LEE011 (Novartis Oncology), a highly specific CDK4/6 inhibitor.Treatment with LEE011 significantly reduced proliferation in 12 of 17 human neuroblastoma-derived cell lines by inducing cytostasis at nanomolar concentrations (mean IC50 = 307 ± 68 nmol/L in sensitive lines). LEE011 caused cell-cycle arrest and cellular senescence that was attributed to dose-dependent decreases in phosphorylated RB and FOXM1, respectively. In addition, responsiveness of neuroblastoma xenografts to LEE011 translated to the in vivo setting in that there was a direct correlation of in vitro IC50 values with degree of subcutaneous xenograft growth delay. Although our data indicate that neuroblastomas sensitive to LEE011 were more likely to contain genomic amplification of MYCN (P = 0.01), the identification of additional clinically accessible biomarkers is of high importance.Taken together, our data show that LEE011 is active in a large subset of neuroblastoma cell line and xenograft models, and supports the clinical development of this CDK4/6 inhibitor as a therapy for patients with this disease.

MicroRNA-129 Inhibits Glioma Cell Growth by Targeting CDK4, CDK6, and MDM2.

Project description:Glioblastoma is the most common malignant primary brain tumor among adults and one of the most lethal cancers. It is characterized by the deregulation of signaling pathways involving proliferation, growth, survival, and other factors. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a role in the regulation of genes by affecting the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA and affect many cell functions. The present study showed that miR-129 decreased the expression of retinoblastoma and p53 signaling pathways' genes, including CDK4, CDK6, and MDM2. The real-time PCR data indicated that expression of CDK4 in U251 and U87 cell lines declined by 69.8% and 47% (p < 0.05), respectively, and expression of CDK6 and MDM2 in U251 cells decreased by 55.3% (p < 0.0001) and 34.7% (p < 0.05), respectively. Luciferase assays confirmed that overexpression of miR-129 decreased the expression of the CDK4 gene by 58.9% (p < 0.01), CDK6 by 35.7% (p < 0.0001), and MDM2 by 49% (p < 0.001). Moreover, cell cycle assays showed a decrease of the G2-phase population to 10% and pre-G2 arrest in U87 cells (p < 0.05). Additionally, wound healing assays indicated that miR-129 overexpression inhibits cell growth of glioblastoma cells. These findings introduced novel targets for miR-129 in glioblastoma cells.

Targeting CDK4 and CDK6: From Discovery to Therapy.

Project description:UNLABELLED:Biochemical and genetic characterization of D-type cyclins, their cyclin D-dependent kinases (CDK4 and CDK6), and the polypeptide CDK4/6 inhibitor p16(INK4)over two decades ago revealed how mammalian cells regulate entry into the DNA synthetic (S) phase of the cell-division cycle in a retinoblastoma protein-dependent manner. These investigations provided proof-of-principle that CDK4/6 inhibitors, particularly when combined with coinhibition of allied mitogen-dependent signal transduction pathways, might prove valuable in cancer therapy. FDA approval of the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib used with the aromatase inhibitor letrozole for breast cancer treatment highlights long-sought success. The newest findings herald clinical trials targeting other cancers. SIGNIFICANCE:Rapidly emerging data with selective inhibitors of CDK4/6 have validated these cell-cycle kinases as anticancer drug targets, corroborating longstanding preclinical predictions. This review addresses the discovery of these CDKs and their regulators, as well as translation of CDK4/6 biology to positive clinical outcomes and development of rational combinatorial therapies.

The interplay of CDK4 and CDK6 in melanoma.

Project description:The cyclin-dependent kinases CDK4 and CDK6 promote progression through the cell cycle, where their functions are considered to be redundant. Recent studies have identified an additional role for CDK6 in the transcriptional regulation of cancer-relevant genes such as VEGF-A and EGR1 in hematopoietic malignancies. We show that the CDK4/6 inhibitor PD0332991 causes a significant decrease in tumor growth in a xenotransplantation mouse model of human melanoma. shRNA knockdown of either CDK4 or CDK6 significantly reduces cell proliferation and impedes their migratory capacity in vitro, which translates into a strong inhibition of tumor growth in xenotransplantation experiments. CDK4/6 inhibition results not only in the pronounced reduction of cell proliferation but also in an impaired tumor angiogenesis. CDK6 knockdown in melanoma cell lines impairs VEGF-A expression and reduces the potential stimulation of endothelial cell growth. The knockdown of CDK4 ends in similar results. The effect is caused by changes of CDK6 localization, less CDK6 is detected on the VEGF-A promoter. Bioinformatic analysis of human melanoma patient data verifies the key role of CDK6 in tumor angiogenesis in melanoma. The results highlight the importance of the delicate balance between CDK4 and CDK6 in regulating the cell cycle and transcription.

Potent and Preferential Degradation of CDK6 via Proteolysis Targeting Chimera Degraders.

Project description:A focused PROTAC library hijacking cancer therapeutic target CDK6 was developed. A design principle as "match/mismatch" was proposed for understanding the degradation profile differences in these PROTACs. Notably, potent PROTACs with specific and remarkable CDK6 degradation potential were generated by linking CDK6 inhibitor palbociclib and E3 ligase CRBN recruiter pomalidomide. The PROTAC strongly inhibited proliferation of hematopoietic cancer cells including multiple myeloma and robustly degraded copy-amplified/mutated forms of CDK6, indicating future potential clinical applications.

Serial circulating tumor DNA monitoring of CDK4/6 inhibitors response in metastatic breast cancer.

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) significantly improve progression-free survival and have become the standard therapy for estrogen receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients. Treatment surveillance by radiological imaging has some limitations in detection and repeated biopsy genomic profiling is not clinically feasible. Serial circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis may provide insights into treatment response. Here we performed serial ctDNA analysis (n = 178) on 33 patients. Serial ctDNA analysis identified disease progression with sensitivity of 75% and specificity of 92%. In eight of 12 patients (61%) responding to CDK4/6i who eventually developed progressive disease, serial sampling every 3 or 6 months captured the initial rise of ctDNA with an average lead time of 3 months. In three of eight patients that did not respond to CDK4/6i (progressive disease at first radiological assessment, 3 months), biweekly sequencing within the first cycle of CDK4/6i treatment (1 month) detected sustained ctDNA levels (≥0.2% variant allele frequency), with lead time of 2 months. Serial ctDNA analysis tracked RECIST response, including clinically challenging scenarios (bone metastases or small-sized target lesions), as well as detecting acquired genetic alterations linked to CDK4/6i resistance in the G1 to S transition phase. Circulating tumor DNA analysis was more sensitive than carcinoembryonic antigen or cancer antigen 15-3 serum tumor markers at monitoring tumor response to CDK4/6i treatment. Our findings indicated the possible clinical utility of serial ctDNA analysis for earlier progressive disease detection and real-time monitoring of CDK4/6i response.
