JAK/STAT inhibition in macrophages promotes therapeutic resistance by inducing expression of protumorigenic factors

ABSTRACT: Tumor-associated macrophages contribute to tumor progression and therapeutic resistance in breast cancer. Within the tumor microenvironment, tumor-derived factors activate pathways that modulate macrophage function. Using in vitro and in vivo models, we find that tumor-derived factors induce activation of the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway in macrophages. We also demonstrate that loss of STAT3 in myeloid cells leads to enhanced mammary tumorigenesis. Further studies show that macrophages contribute to resistance of mammary tumors to the JAK/STAT inhibitor ruxolitinib in vivo and that ruxolitinib-treated macrophages produce soluble factors that promote resistance of tumor cells to JAK inhibition in vitro. Finally, we demonstrate that STAT3 deletion and JAK/STAT inhibition in macrophages increases expression of the pro-tumorigenic factor cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and that COX-2 inhibition enhances responsiveness of tumors to ruxolitinib. These findings define a novel mechanism through which macrophages promote therapeutic resistance and highlight the importance of understanding the impact of targeted therapies on the tumor microenvironment.

Targeting the NF-κB pathway enhances responsiveness of mammary tumors to JAK inhibitors

Project description:Interactions between tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment are critical for tumor growth, progression, and response to therapy. Effective targeting of oncogenic signaling pathways in tumors requires an understanding of how these therapies impact both tumor cells and cells within the tumor microenvironment. One such pathway is the janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator or transcription (STAT) pathway, which is activated in both breast cancer cells and in tumor associated macrophages. This study demonstrates that exposure of macrophages to JAK inhibitors leads to activation of NF-κB signaling, which results in increased expression of genes known to be associated with therapeutic resistance. Furthermore, inhibition of the NF-κB pathway improves the ability of ruxolitinib to reduce mammary tumor growth in vivo. Thus, the impact of the tumor microenvironment is an important consideration in studying breast cancer and understanding such mechanisms of resistance is critical to development of effective targeted therapies.

Repurposing tofacitinib as an anti-myeloma therapeutic to reverse growth-promoting effects of the bone marrow microenvironment

Project description:The myeloma bone marrow microenvironment drives proliferation of malignant plasma cells and promotes resistance to therapy. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and downstream JAK/STAT signaling are thought to be central components of these microenvironment-induced phenotypes. In a prior drug repurposing screen, we identified tofacitinib, a pan-JAK inhibitor FDA-approved for rheumatoid arthritis, as an agent that may reverse the tumor-stimulating effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells.Here, we validated both in vitro, in stromal-responsive human myeloma cell lines, and in vivo, in orthotopic disseminated murine xenograft models of myeloma, that tofacitinib showed both single-agent and combination therapeutic efficacy in myeloma models. Surprisingly, we found that ruxolitinib, an FDA-approved agent targeting JAK1 and JAK2, did not lead to the same anti-myeloma effects. Combination with a novel irreversible JAK3-selective inhibitor also did not rescue ruxolitinib effects. RNA-seq and unbiased phosphoproteomics revealed that marrow stromal cells drive a JAK/STAT-mediated proliferative program in myeloma plasma cells, and tofacitinib reversed the large majority of these pro-growth signals. Taken together, our results suggest that tofacitinib specifically reverses the growth-promoting effects of the tumor microenvironment through blocking an IL-6-mediated signaling axis. As tofacitinib is already FDA-approved, these results can be rapidly translated into potential clinical benefits for myeloma patients.

JAK dependent survival of ALK- ALCL

Project description:Activating JAK and STAT mutations were discovered in many T-cell malignancies including ALK- anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL). However, such mutations often occur in a minority of patients. To investigate the clinical application of targeting Janus Kinase (JAK) for ALK- ALCL, we treated ALK- cell lines of different histologic origins with JAK inhibitors. Interestingly, most exogenous cytokine independent cell lines responded to JAK inhibition regardless of JAK mutation status. JAK inhibitor sensitivity correlated with STAT3 phosphorylation status of tumor cells. Employing retroviral shRNA knockdown, we demonstrated that these JAK inhibitor sensitive cells were dependent on both JAK1 and STAT3 for survival. JAK1 and STAT3 gain-of-function mutations were found in some but not all JAK inhibitor sensitive cells. Moreover, the mutations alone could not explain the JAK1/STAT3 dependency as wild-type JAK1 or STAT3 was sufficient to promote cell survival in the cells that had either JAK1or STAT3 mutations. To investigate whether other mechanisms were involved, we knocked down upstream receptors GP130 or IL-2Rγ. Knockdown of GP130 or IL-2Rγ induced cell death in select JAK inhibitor sensitive cells. High levels of cytokine expression including IL-6 were demonstrated in cell lines as well as in primary ALK- ALCL tumors. Finally, ruxolitinib, a JAK1/2 inhibitor, was effective in vivo in a xenograft ALK- ALCL model. Our data suggest cytokine receptor signaling was required for tumor cell survival in diverse forms of ALK- ALCL even in the presence of JAK1/STAT3 mutations. Therefore, JAK-inhibitor therapy might benefit patients with ALK- ALCL that are pSTAT3+.

Aberrant JAK-STAT pathway confers resistance to the HDAC inhibitor chidamide in Natural Killer/T-cell lymphoma through chromatin remodeling

Project description:Natural Killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) is a rare type of aggressive and heterogeneous non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Here, we demonstrate that chidamide, a novel histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, is effective in treating relapsed/refractory NKTL patients, achieving an overall response rate of 39.3%, with 17.9% complete response rate. However, the clinical response to chidamide remains variable as more than half of the patients exhibit primary resistance, limiting its utility in NKTL treatment. To unravel the resistance mechanisms of chidamide, we performed integrative transcriptomic and chromatin profiling of sensitive and resistant NKTL cells. Our results revealed that aberrant JAK-STAT signaling remodels the chromatin and confers resistance to chidamide. Subsequently, inhibition of JAK-STAT activity could overcome resistance to chidamide by reprogramming the chromatin from a resistant to sensitive state, leading to synergistic anti-tumor effect. More importantly, our clinical data demonstrated that combinatorial therapy with chidamide and JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib is effective against chidamide-resistant NKTL. In addition, we identified TNFRSF8 (CD30), a downstream target of JAK-STAT pathway, as a potential biomarker that could predict NKTL sensitivity to chidamide. Collectively, our study suggests that chidamide, in combination with JAK-STAT inhibitors, can be a novel targeted therapy in the standard of care for NKTL.

A transcriptomic analysis of the effects of macrophage polarization and endotoxin tolerance on the response to Salmonella

Project description:Salmonella is an intracellular pathogen causing significant morbidity and mortality. Its ability to grow inside macrophages is important to virulence, and is dependent on the activation state of the macrophages. Classically activated M1 macrophages are non-permissive for Salmonella growth, while alternatively activated M2 macrophages are permissive for Salmonella growth. Here we showed that endotoxin-primed macrophages (MEP), such as those associated with sepsis, showed similar levels of Salmonella resistance to M1 macrophages after 2 hr of intracellular infection, but at the 4 hr and 24 hr time points were susceptible like M2 macrophages. To understand this mechanistically, transcriptome sequencing, RNA-Seq, was performed. This showed that M1 and MEP macrophages that had not been exposed to Salmonella, demonstrated a process termed here as primed activation, in expressing relatively higher levels of particular anti-infective genes and pathways, including the JAK-STAT pathway. In contrast, in M2 macrophages these genes and pathways were largely expressed only in response to infection. Conversely, in response to infection, M1 macrophages, but not MEP macrophages, modulated additional genes known to be associated with susceptibility to Salmonella infection, possibly contributing to the differences in resistance at later time points. Application of the JAK inhibitor Ruxolitinib before infection reduced resistance in M1 macrophages, supporting the importance of early JAK-STAT signalling in M1 resistance to Salmonella.

Ruxolitinib inhibits Cyclosporine-induced proliferation of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Organ transplant recipients (OTRs) on Cyclosporine A (CSA) are prone to catastrophic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Allograft-sparing, cancer-targeting systemic treatments are unavailable. We have shown increased risk for catastrophic SCC in OTRs via CSA-mediated induction of Interleukin-22 (IL-22). Herein, we found CSA drives SCC proliferation and tumor growth through IL-22 and JAK/STAT pathway induction. We in turn inhibited SCC growth with an FDA-approved JAK 1/2 inhibitor, Ruxolitinib. In human SCC cells, greatest proliferative response to IL-22 and CSA treatment occurred in non-metastasizing lines. IL-22 treatment upregulated JAK1 and STAT1/3 in A431 SCC cells. JAK/STAT pathway genes were highly expressed in tumors from a cohort of CSA-exposed OTRs, and in SCC with high risk for metastasis. Compared to immunocompetent SCC, genes associated with innate immunity, response to DNA damage and p53 regulation were differentially expressed in SCC from OTRs. In nude mice engrafted with human A431 cells, IL-22 and CSA treatment increased tumor growth and upregulated IL-22 receptor, JAK1 and STAT 1/3 expression. Ruxolitinib treatment significantly reduced tumor volume and reversed the accelerated tumor growth. CSA and IL-22 exacerbate aggressive behavior in SCC. Targeting the IL-22 axis via selective JAK/STAT inhibition may reduce the progression of aggressive SCC in OTRs, without compromising immunosuppression. In this study, microarray data was used to compare normal skin to immunocompetent SCC, to transplant associated SCC (TSCC)

Genes regulated by JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib and myxoid liposarcoma-specific fusion onccogene FUS-DDIT3 in HT1080 cells.

Project description:Sarcomas and leukemias that are characterized by FET (FUS, EWSR1, TAF15) fusion oncogenes consist of more than 20 entities. Myxoid liposarcoma, one of the most common FET sarcoma types, is defined by the FUS-DDIT3 or the less common EWSR1-DDIT3 fusion oncogene. Previously, JAK-STAT signaling have been connected to cancer stem cell properties and chemotherapy resistance in myxoid liposarcoma, but the role of FUS-DDIT3 is not known. Therefore, we treated HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells expression FUS-DDIT3 with JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib and performed RNA sequencing of treated and control cells. Additionally, we analyzed native HT1080 cells to be able to compare the induced gene expression changes due to FUS-DDIT3 expression with those induced by JAK-STAT pathway inhibition.
