ALK inhibitors in the context of ALK dependent cancer cell lines

ABSTRACT: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) has recently been found to be a critical cancer gene in cases of lung cancer, neuroblastomas and lymphomas. ALK inhibitors have recently shown significant activity in lung cancer patients with tumours that harbour the EML4-ALK gene rearrangement, but already drug-resistance is emerging. We have taken a lung cancer cell line H3122 (with the EML4-ALK rearrangement) and generated clones resistant to a small molecule inhibitor of ALK by serial exposure to the drug over 8 weeks. We now wish to characterise at the exome level whether the acquisiton of resistance has been accompanied by the development of new mutations that we can take forward for further study as the potential mechansims underlying the resistance. We therefore propose to exome sequence the parental NCI-H3122 cell line as well as drug-resistant clones.

Integrative Transcriptomic Analysis Identifies Emetine as A Promising Drug Candidate for Overcoming Acquired Resistance to ALK Inhibitors in Lung Cancer

Project description:Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors (ALKi) are effective in treating lung cancer patients with chromosomal rearrangement of ALK. However, continuous treatment with ALKi invariably leads to acquired resistance in cancer cells. In this study, we propose an efficient strategy to suppress ALKi resistance through a meta-analysis of transcriptome data from various cell models of acquired resistance to ALKi. We systematically identified gene signatures that consistently showed altered expression during the development of resistance and conducted computational drug screening using these signatures. We identified emetine as a promising candidate compound to inhibit the growth of ALKi-resistant cells. We demonstrated that this drug exhibited effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of ALKi-resistant cells, and further elucidated its mode of action through drug-induced RNA-seq data. Our transcriptome-guided systematic approach paves the way for efficient drug discovery to overcome acquired resistance to cancer therapy.

Analysis of ALK TKI sensitive and ALK TKI resistant isogenic pairs of H3122 (EML4-ALK E13;A20) cells

Project description:Starting with H3122 cells, which harbor the EML4-ALK E13;A20 fusion and are known to be sensitive to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors, we generated isogenic pairs of ALK TKI sensitive and ALK TKI resistant cell lines using established methods (see Chmeliecki, J et al Science Trans Med 2011). We modeled resistance against the currently FDA approved ALK TKI, crizotinib (also called PF-1066). We also modeled resistance against a novel more potent ALK inhibitor, X-376 (ref: Lovly, CM et al Cancer Research 2011). We compared gene expression profiles between the 'parental' (ALK TKI sensitive) H3122 cells and the drug resistant cells (H3122 CR for Crizotinib resistant cells and H3122 XR for X-376 resistant cells).

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis uncovers intratumoral heterogeneity and drug-tolerant persister in ALK-rearranged lung adenocarcinoma

Project description:Acquired drug resistance is the major therapeutic obstacle to maintenance treatment of advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) harboring driver mutations also showed poor response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Underlying mechanisms of how drug insensitivity evolves remain unclear. Here we explored the intratumoral heterogeneity of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-resistant anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged lung ADC organoids using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) transcriptomic analysis. IL-17 signaling pathway was found highly induced in a subpopulation of pre-existing ALK-TKI-resistant cells. These drug-tolerant persister (DTP) cells, also found to have high surface intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) expression level, were more resistant towards ALK-TKI and expressed a higher level of cancer-stem cell transcriptional factors. Moreover, tumor cells with high ICAM-1 expression were found spatially correlated with RORɣt+ Th17 infiltration in ALK-rearranged NSCLC resected tumor tissues. In conclusion, our data revealed marked intratumoral heterogeneity in ALK-rearranged tumor, and pre-existing DTP cells may contribute to the development of drug insensitivity in ALK-rearranged lung ADC.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 overexpression mediates ALK inhibitor resistance in ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer

Project description:The rearrangement of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) occurs in 3%-5% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and confers sensitivity to ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). For the treatment of patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC, various additional ALK-TKIs have been developed. Ceritinib is a second-generation ALK-TKI and has shown great efficacy in the treatment of patients with both newly diagnosed and crizotinib, a first-generation ALK-TKI, refractory ALK-rearranged NSCLC. However, tumors can also develop ceritinib resistance. This may result from secondary ALK mutations, but other mechanisms responsible for this have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we explored the mechanisms of ceritinib resistance by establishing ceritinib-resistant, echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-ALK-positive H3122 cells and ceritinib-resistant patient-derived cells. We identified a mechanism of ceritinib resistance induced by bypass signals that is mediated by the overexpression and activation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). FGFR3 knockdown by small hairpin RNA or treatment with FGFR inhibitors was found to resensitize the resistant cells to ceritinib in vitro and in vivo. FGFR ligands from either human serum or fetal bovine serum were able to activate FGFR3 and induce ceritinib resistance. A detailed analysis of ceritinib-resistant patient-derived specimens confirmed that tyrosine-protein kinase Met (cMET) amplification induces ceritinib resistance. Amplified cMET counter-activated EGFR and/or Her3, and induced ceritinib resistance. These results reveal multiple ceritinib resistance mechanisms and suggest that ceritinib resistance might be able to overcome by identifying precise resistance mechanisms.

Overcoming AXL Activation and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition is Critical in Conquering ALK-positive Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

Project description:Anaplastic lymphoma kinase tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) induce a dramatic response in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with the ALK fusion gene. However, acquired resistance to ALK-TKIs in lung cancer cells remains an inevitable problem: ALK secondary mutations and bypass pathways have been reported as major resistance mechanisms. In this study, we aimed to discover a novel mechanism of acquired resistance to ALK-TKIs and a strategy to conquer ALK-positive lung cancer. We established three types of ALK-TKI (crizotinib, alectinib and ceritinib)–resistant H2228 non-small cell lung cancer cell lines by high exposure and stepwise methods. We found these cells showed a loss of ALK signaling, overexpressed AXL with epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), and had cancer stem cell–like properties. Similarly, we demonstrated that TGF-β1 treated H2228 cells also showed AXL overexpression with EMT features and ALK-TKI–resistance. The AXL inhibitor, R428, or HSP90 inhibitor, ganetespib, were effective in reversing ALK-TKI–resistance and EMT changes in both ALK-TKI–resistant and TGF-β1–exposed H2228 cells. Progression-free survival of ALK-positive NSCLC patients with AXL overexpression was shorter than that of patients who underwent crizotinib therapy and showed low AXL expression. Thus, we found ALK signaling-independent AXL overexpression and EMT features were commonly involved in intrinsic and acquired resistance to first and second generation ALK-TKIs. This suggests AXL and HSP90 inhibitors may be promising therapeutic drugs to overcome tumor cells in ALK-positive NSCLC patients.

Disruption of the ALK tumor cell proteome by concurrent inhibation of ALK and SRC kinases

Project description:Precision oncology has revolutionized the treatment of ALK-positive lung cancer with targeted therapies. However, refractory tumors with compound mutations or diverse resistance mechanisms remain an unmet clinical need. In this study, we established mouse tumor-derived cell models representing the most common EML4-ALK variants in human lung adenocarcinomas and characterized their proteomic profiles. We demonstrated that Eml4-Alk variant 3 confers a worse response to ALK inhibitors, suggesting its role in promoting resistance. In addition, proteomic analysis of brigatinib-treated cells revealed the upregulation of SRC kinase, which is frequently activated in cancer. Co-targeting of ALK and SRC showed remarkable inhibitory effects on both ALK-driven murine tumor growth and ALK-patient-derived cells. This death mechanism is attributed to the profound perturbation of the (phospho)proteomic landscape, together with a synergistic suppressive effect on the mTOR pathway. Taken together, our study identifies the inhibition of ALK and SRC cells and may offer a promising strategy to overcome resistance mechanisms and improve clinical outcomes in ALK-positive lung cancer patients.

Vulnerability of drug-resistant EML4-ALK rearranged lung cancer to transcriptional inhibition

Project description:A subset of lung adenocarcinomas is driven by the EML4-ALK translocation. Despite excellent initial responses in patients, acquired resistance to ALK inhibitors occurs. Exploring these mechanisms of resistance, we found that EML4-ALK cells resistant to ALK inhibitors are remarkably sensitive to THZ1, alvocidib or dinaciclib. These compounds robustly induce apoptosis through transcriptional inhibition and downregulation of anti-apoptotic genes. In conclusion, this study shows that THZ1, alvocidib or dinaciclib could be a therapeutic option for a subset of patients with acquired resistance to first, second and third-generation ALK inhibitors.

YAP activation mediates acquired resistance to ALK inhibitor in ALK rearranged non–small cell lung cancer

Project description:To investigate a possible candidate for overcoming the acquired resistance to ALK-TKI, we established an in vitro model of acquired resistance to crizotinib (H3122-CR) by exposing EML4-ALK–positive H3122 lung cancer cells to increasing doses of crizotinib.
