Withdrawal of MEK1/2 inhibitor reverses acquired resistance driven by BRAF amplification but drives EMT and chemoresistance in cells with amplified KRAS

ABSTRACT: Acquired resistance to MEK1/2 inhibitors can arise through amplification of BRAFV600E or KRASG13D to reinstate ERK1/2 signalling. Here we show that BRAFV600E amplification and selumetinib resistance are fully reversible following drug withdrawal. Resistant cells with BRAFV600E amplification become addicted to selumetinib to maintain a precise level of ERK1/2 signalling (2-3% of total ERK1/2 active, here quantified by mass spectrometry), that is optimal for cell survival and proliferation. The magnitude of ERK1/2 activation following selumetinib withdrawal (~20% active) drives a p57KIP2-dependent G1 cell cycle arrest and senescence or expression of NOXA and cell death, which selects against those cells with amplified BRAFV600E. ERK1/2-dependent p57KIP2 expression is required for loss of BRAFV600E amplification and determines the rate of reversal of selumetinib resistance. Furthermore, growth of selumetinib-resistant cells with BRAFV600E amplification as tumour xenografts is inhibited in mice that do not receive selumetinib. Thus, BRAFV600E amplification confers a selective disadvantage during drug withdrawal, providing a rationale for intermittent dosing to forestall resistance. In striking contrast, selumetinib resistance driven by KRASG13D amplification is not reversible. In these cells ERK1/2 reactivation does not inhibit proliferation but drives a ZEB1-dependent epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition that increases cell motility and promotes resistance to traditional chemotherapy agents arguing strongly against the use of ‘drug holidays’ in cases of KRASG13D amplification.

mRNA expression profile of A549 cells and MSR-A549 cells with or without JQ1 treatment

Project description:To establish effective multitargeted KRAS pathway therapy, we analyzed mediators of acquired resistance to chronic momelotinib and MEK inhibitor exposure in A549 cells. Since inhibitor resistance was completely reversible after drug withdrawal for several passages, suggesting epigenetic reprogramming, we investigated whole mRNA expression profiles in A549, momelotinib and selumetinib resistant (MSR)-A549 cells and MSR-A549 cells following drug withdrawal for 10 days. In parallel, we also examined mRNA expression profiles of MSR-A549 cells treated with the BET inhibitor JQ1, to identify specific targets regulated by H3K27 acetylation.

Proteomic and phosphoproteomics profiling depict drug addiction mechanisms in BRAFi-resistant melanoma

Project description:Acquired resistance to MAPK inhibitors limits the clinical efficacy in melanoma treatment. We and others have recently shown that BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi)-resistant melanoma cells can develop a dependency on the therapeutic drugs to which they have acquired resistance, creating a vulnerability for these cells that can potentially be exploited in cancer treatment. In drug addicted melanoma cells, it was shown that this induction of cell death was preceded by a specific ERK2-dependent phenotype switch, however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely lacking. To increase the molecular understanding of this drug dependency, we applied a mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach on BRAFi-resistant BRAFMUT 451Lu cells, in which ERK1, ERK2 and JUNB were silenced separately using CRISPR–Cas9. Inactivation of ERK2 and, to a lesser extent, JUNB prevents drug addiction in these melanoma cell while, conversely, knock out of ERK1 fails to reverse this phenotype, showing a response similar to control cells. Our analysis reveals that ERK2 and JUNB share comparable proteome responses dominated by reactivation of cell division. Importantly, we find that EMT activation in drug addicted melanoma cells upon drug withdrawal is affected by silencing ERK2 but not ERK1. Moreover, transcription factor (regulator) enrichment shows that PIR acts as an effector of ERK2 and phosphoproteome analysis reveals that silencing of ERK2 but not ERK1 leads to amplification of GSK3 kinase activity. Our results depict possible mechanisms of drug addiction in melanoma, which may provide a guide for strategies in drug-resistant melanoma.

Intermittent Drug Treatment of BRAFV600E Melanoma Cells Delays Resistance by Sensitizing Cells to Rechallenge

Project description:Melanoma patients receiving drugs targeting BRAFV600E and MKK1/2 invariably develop resistance and continue progression, limiting the efficacy of treatment. As an alternative to continuous dosing schedules, intermittent treatment strategies involving intervening periods of drug withdrawal have been proposed to delay resistance. The efficacy of this treatment strategy has been supported by preclinical findings and several clinical case reports. The beneficial effect of intermittent treatment has been attributed to “drug addiction”, in which the cell viability of resistant cells is compromised during periods of drug removal, presumably due to MAPK pathway hyperactivation. However, the cellular and molecular responses to intermittent treatment are still incompletely understood. Here, we investigate effects of intermittent treatment with the BRAFV600E inhibitor, encorafenib, in a metastatic melanoma cell line engineered to express genes conferring resistance to BRAF inhibition. We show that intermittent treatment shows superior growth suppression compared to continuous treatment for resistant cells that substantially reactivate the MAPK pathway. While drug addiction is clearly observable in these cells, it fails to account for the advantageous effects of intermittent treatment. Instead, growth suppression can mainly be explained by resensitization as most cell death is observed upon readdition of drug following periods of drug removal. Gene expression analysis shows that a unique and reversible transcriptional state is induced in intermittently treated cells following periods of drug removal. Thus, we conclude that the beneficial effects of intermittent treatment in our model are best explained by adaptive, non-mutational changes in transcription which confer drug resensitization.

Gene copy number variation profiling by microarray

Project description:Here, we investigate focal amplification patterns in and around the BRAF locus in BRAFV600Emutant COLO205 cells that acquire resistance to the MEK inhibitor Sleumetinib / AZD6244 / ARRY-142886. We find that BRAF amplifications occur frequently in COLO205 cells during acquisition of selumetinib resistance and that BRAFamplifications pre-exist selumetinib treatment but occurs predominantly via de novo mutations

Loss of Spry1 reduces growth of BRAFV600E-mutant cutaneous melanoma and improves response to targeted therapy

Project description:Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway activation is a central step in BRAFV600E-mutant cutaneous melanoma (CM) pathogenesis. In the last years, Spry1 has been frequently described as an upstream regulator of MAPK signaling pathway. However, its specific role in BRAFV600E-mutant CM is still poorly defined. Here, we report that Spry1 knockdown (Spry1KO) in three BRAFV600E-mutant CM cell lines markedly induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, repressed cell proliferation in vitro, and impaired tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, our findings indicated that Spry1KO reduced the expression of several EMT-markers, such as MMP-2 both in vitro and in vivo. These effects were associated with a sustained and deleterious phosphorylation of ERK1/2. In addition, p38 activation along with an increase in basal ROS levels were found in Spry1KO clones compared to parental CM cell lines, suggesting that BRAFV600E-mutant CM may restrain the activity of Spry1 to avoid oncogenic stress and to enable tumor growth. Consistent with this hypothesis, treatment with the BRAF inhibitor (BRAFi) vemurafenib down-regulated Spry1 levels in parental CM cell lines, indicating that Spry1 expression is sustained by MAPK/ERK signaling pathway in a positive feedback loop that safeguards cells from the potentially toxic effects of ERK1/2 hyperactivation. Disruption of this feedback loop rendered Spry1KO cells more susceptible to apoptosis and markedly improved response to BRAFi both in vitro and in vivo, as a consequence of the detrimental effect of ERK1/2 hyperactivation observed upon Spry1 abrogation. Therefore, targeting Spry1 might offer a treatment strategy for BRAFV600E-mutant CM by inducing the toxic effects of ERK-mediated signaling.
