Project description:Introduction: Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) represents a key downstream intermediate for a myriad of oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases. In the case of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway, the mTOR complex (mTORC1) mediates IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R)-induced estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) phosphorylation/activation and leads to increased proliferation and growth in breast cancer cells. As a result, the prevalence of mTOR inhibitors combined with hormonal therapy has increased in recent years. Conversely, activated mTORC1 provides negative feedback regulation of IGF signaling via insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1/2 serine phosphorylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Thus, the IGF pathway may provide escape (e.g. de novo or acquired resistance) from mTORC1 inhibitors. It is therefore plausible that combined inhibition of mTORC1 and IGF-1R for select subsets of ER-positive breast cancer patients presents as a viable therapeutic option. Methods: Using hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells stably transfected with the aromatase gene (MCF-7/AC-1), works presented herein describe the in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy of the following compounds: dalotuzumab (DALO; “MK-0646”; anti-IGF-1R antibody), ridaforolimus (RIDA; “MK-8669”; mTORC1 small molecule inhibitor) and letrozole (“LET”, aromatase inhibitor). Results: With the exception of MK-0646, all single agent and combination treatment arms effectively inhibited xenograft tumor growth, albeit to varying degrees. Correlative tissue analyses revealed MK-0646 alone and in combination with LET induced insulin receptor alpha A (InsR-A) isoform upregulation (both mRNA and protein expression), thereby further supporting a triple therapy approach. Conclusion: These data provide preclinical rationalization towards the combined triple therapy of LET plus MK-0646 plus MK-8669 as an efficacious anti-tumor strategy for ER-positive breast tumors.

Project description:To identify the regulatory mechanisms and signalling pathways involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) development, we compared the transcriptome of patient-derived tumor-initiating cells (TICs) with their normal stem cell counterparts of the same patient. This study demonstrates the relevance of AKT-signalling in colonic TIC proliferation and survival. Functional testing uncovered the selective AKT-inhibitor MK-2206 as a potential therapeutic for TIC-directed therapy in CRC. Gene expression profiling of tumor and normal tissues from 5 patients.

Project description:MK: MK-801. Young male C57BL/6J mice received an injection of MK-801 (300 micro-g per g body weight). RNA from control mice were extracted 1hr, 2hr, 4hr, and 6hr after MK experimental mice received their last shock treatment. MK C+S: MK-801 & Context + Shock: Young male C57BL/6J mice received an injection of MK-801 (300 micro-g per g body weight) 1 h prior to contextual fear conditioning that consisted of: Placement into a novel spatial context for 2 min. After 2 min, a 1 sec (0.5 mA) shock was administered through a floor grid. The 2 min-1 sec shock paradigm was repeated for a total of 3 shocks. 1 min after the last shock, animals were removed to their homecage. RNA was extracted 1hr, 2hr, 4hr, and 6hr after the last shock treatment. Keywords: time-course

Project description:The purpose is to study the efficacy (effectiveness) of a new drug, MK-0646, in metastatic colorectal cancer. MK-0646 is an investigational or experimental anti-cancer agent that has not yet been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in metastatic colorectal cancer or any other disease.
This study will assess whether adding MK-0646 to an FDA-approved standard of care chemotherapy improves participants’ duration of progression-free survival. MK-0646 is believed to inhibit the receptor of a protein called IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor) which is thought to contribute to cancer development and growth. However, there is no guarantee that MK-0646 will slow cancer development and growth.
Other purposes of this study include:
* looking at the safety and tolerability of MK-0646
* comparing MK-0646 + standard of care chemotherapy with placebo + standard of care chemotherapy (placebo is a substance that looks like an active drug but has no active ingredient) The standard of care chemotherapy in this study is called FOLFOX 7. FOLFOX 7 includes the drugs oxaliplatin with leucovorin, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), and bevacizumab.

Project description:This is an open-label, two-part study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of combination treatment with dalotuzumab + MK-2206, dalotuzumab + MK-0752, or dalotuzumab + ridaforolimus (MK-8669). Part 1 of the study will determine the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed after administration of each of the combinations at various doses and define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of each combination. Part 2 of the study will assess preliminary anti-tumor activity of these combinations (at MTD) in two groups of participants with selected tumor biomarkers: one group with metastatic or recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer and one group with metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer. The dalotuzumab + ridaforolimus and dalotuzumab + MK-2206 arms will be enriched with female platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer participants. The dalotuzumab + MK-0752 arm will be enriched with metastatic or recurrent wild-type kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) colorectal cancer participants.
The primary hypothesis is that the DLTs observed in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors after administration of each of the MK-MK doublets will be dose-dependent to allow for definition of a MTD within each MK-MK doublet.
