Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death. Mutations in the kinase domain of EGFR, a predominant driver oncogene, such as L858R missense mutation and a series of deletions spanning the conserved sequence 747LREA750, are associated with sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, patients receiving EGFR-TKIs (gefitinib and erlotinib) develop drug-resistance due to a secondary mutation at the gatekeeper residue (T790M) in about 50-60% of cases, urging for new drug development. Afatinib, a FDA approved second-generation EGFR-TKI that was developed to circumvent T790M-mediated resistance, has not been very effective in clinical trials. In this study, we performed a global phosphoproteomic screen to identify targets that undergo mutant EGFR-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation and their modulation by erlotinib or afatinib. We undertook stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC), phosphopeptide enrichment, and quantitative mass spectrometry to identify dynamic changes of phosphorylation downstream of mutant EGFRs in lung adenocarcinoma cells harboring L858R or L858R/T790M mutations and their modulation by erlotinib and afatinib inhibition. We identified and quantified 397, 429, 223, and 594 phosphotyrosine sites in H3255, 11-18,PC9, and H1975 cell lines that were grown in presence of FBS and in presence/absence of TKIs, respectively. These account for a total of 907 unique phospho-tyrosine sites in 496 proteins. Among them, 187 phosphotyrosine sites were found to be in 89 kinases, which may serve as intermediary regulatory kinases in EGFR signalling pathway. Further analysis indicated that in TKI-sensitive H3255 and 11-18 cells, there were 58/111 and 65/101 tyrosine sites that were hypophosphorylated in presence of erlotinib and afatinib, respectively. However, in TKI-resistant H1975 cells, 189 and 264 tyrosine sites were hypophosphorylated in presence of erlotinib and afatinib respectively, indicating that the afatinib-specific additional sites could be validated for identifying potentially new drug targets to counter TKI-resistance. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) of proteins with altered phosphorylation sites demonstrated that several canonical pathways including ephrin receptor signalling and integrin signalling pathways were enriched, which may play important roles in cell growth and proliferation. However, upon EGF stimulation of serum starved H3255 cells in presence or absence of TKIs, 99 tyrosine sites that were hyperphosphorylated upon EGF stimulation were inhibited in presence of erlotinib or afatinib. But in H1975 cells treated with erlotinib, 48 of the above sites were either unchanged or were hyperphosphorylated. These sites include EGFR (Y1197/869/998), JAK1 (Y1034), FRK (Y497), GAB1 (Y657/689), MAPK1 (Y187), MAPK3 (Y204), MET (Y1252/1253). Furthermore, a total of 112 sites that were observed to be hypophosphorylated upon EGF stimulation in H1975 cells, were found to be hyperphosphorylated upon erlotinib inhibition. This could possibly be due to the activation of downstream phosphatases with EGF stimulation. We are now performing in-depth bioinformatic analysis and validation experiments using functional genomics to understand the role of targets of mutant EGFR signalling in lung cancer.

Project description:Background: The 14-3-3ζ protein, which acts as a putative oncoprotein, has been found to promote the proliferation, metastasis, and chemoresistance of cancer cells in several cancers including lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD); however, its significance in epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) resistance remains unknown. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was used to determine 14-3-3ζ expression in pancancer and LUAD. 14-3-3ζ and ID1 expression was then examined in clinical LUAD samples by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Lentiviral transfection with 14-3-3ζ-specific small hairpin RNA (shRNA) was used to establish stable 14-3-3ζ knockdown gefitinib-resistant PC9 (PC9/GR) and H1975 cell lines. The effect of 14-3-3ζ knockdown on reversing EGFR-TKI resistance was determined in vitro by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), wound healing, Transwell assays, and flow cytometry. A xenograft tumor model was established to evaluate the role of 14-3-3ζ in EGFR-TKI resistance. Microarray analysis results showed multiple pathways regulated by 14-3-3ζ-shRNA. Results: In the present study, we demonstrated that based on the TCGA, pancancer and LUAD 14-3-3ζ expression was elevated and predicted unfavorable prognosis. In addition, high 14-3-3ζ expression was associated with advanced T stage, TNM stage, presence of lymph node metastasis and, importantly, poor treatment response to EGFR-TKIs in LUAD patients with EGFR-activating mutations. 14-3-3ζ shRNA sensitized EGFR-TKI-resistant human LUAD cells to gefitinib and reversed epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). After 14-3-3ζ depletion, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling activation was decreased in EGFR-TKI-resistant cells in microarray analysis, which was further validated by Western blot analysis. Furthermore, the expression of 14-3-3ζ positively correlates with ID1 expression in human EGFR-mutant LUAD patient samples. In vivo, there was a reduction in the tumor burden in mice treated with 14-3-3ζ shRNA and gefitinib compared to mice treated with gefitinib alone. Conclusion: Our work uncovers a hitherto unappreciated role of 14-3-3ζ in EGFR-TKI resistance. This study might provide a potential therapeutic approach for treating LUAD patients harboring EGFR mutations.

Project description:Acquired drug resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeted therapies remains a major clinical challenge. In EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), therapeutic failure of EGFR TKIs can result from both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of acquired drug resistance. Histologic and gene expression changes consistent with an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) have been associated with resistance to EGFR TKIs in both experimental models and in patients, and may coincide with genetic mechanisms of resistance such as the EGFRT790M gatekeeper mutation. While therapeutic approaches targeting EGFRT790M have been developed, a strategy for overcoming EMT-related resistance remains unclear. We performed whole-genome CRISPR screening on patient-derived, mesenchymal EGFRT790M-positive cell lines and identified FGFR1 as a critical gene promoting resistance to third generation EGFR TKIs. The FGFR1-3 inhibitor, BGJ398 (infigratinib), resensitized resistant mesenchymal-like cell lines to EGFR inhibition in a synergistic manner. Combining EGFR + FGFR inhibitors also inhibited the in vitro survival and expansion of EGFR mutant drug tolerant cells with mesenchymal-like features prior to the development of drug resistance, and delayed the development of in vivo resistance in EGFR mutant NSCLC xenograft tumors. These results suggest that dual EGFR + FGFR blockade may be a promising clinical strategy for preventing and overcoming EMT-associated acquired drug resistance in EGFR mutant NSCLC.

Project description:The clinical efficacy of EGFR kinase inhibitors is limited by the development of drug resistance. The irreversible EGFR kinase inhibitor WZ4002 is effective against the most common mechanism of drug resistance mediated by the EGFR T790M mutation. Here we show that in multiple complementary models harboring EGFR T790M, resistance to WZ4002 develops through aberrant activation of ERK signaling caused by either an amplification of MAPK1 or by downregulation of negative regulators of ERK signaling. Inhibition of MEK or ERK restores sensitivity to WZ4002, and the combination of WZ4002 and a MEK inhibitor prevents the emergence of drug resistance. The WZ4002 resistant MAPK1 amplified cells also demonstrate an increase both in EGFR internalization and a decrease in sensitivity to cytotoxic chemotherapy compared to the parental counterparts. Our findings provide insights into mechanisms of drug resistance to EGFR kinase inhibitors and highlight rational combination therapies that should be evaluated in clinical trials. Our study identifies ERK signaling as a mediator of resistance to irreversible pyrimidine EGFR inhibitors in EGFR T790M-bearing cancers. We further provide a therapeutic strategy to both treat and prevent the emergence of this resistance mechanism. To generate drug-resistant NCI-H1975 cell lines, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of WZ4002 similar to previously described methods. Individual clones from WZ4002-resistant (WZR) cells were isolated and confirmed to be drug resistant. Clone #6, designated as WZR6, was used in this study. For expression analysis, samples were prepared in triplicate from parental NCI-H1975 and NCI-H1975 WZR6 cells.

Project description:We previously reported that differential protein degradation of TKI-sensitive [L858R, del(E746-A750)] and resistant (T790M) epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutants upon erlotinib treatment correlates with drug sensitivity. However, the molecular mechanism remains unclear. We also reported SMAD ubiquitination regulatory factor 2 (SMURF2) as a stabilizer of EGFR in a ligase (E3) activity-dependent manner. Here, using in vitro and in vivo ubiquitination assays, mass spectrometry, and super-resolution microscopy, we show SMURF2-EGFR functional interaction is critical in receptor stability and TKI sensitivity. We found that L858R/T790M EGFR is a preferred substrate of SMURF2-UBCH5 (an E3-E2) complex-mediated K63-linked polyubiquitination, which preferentially stabilizes mutant receptor. We identified three lysine (K) residues (K721, 1037 and 1164) as the sites of ubiquitination and replacement of K to acetylation-mimicking asparagine (Q) at K1037 position in L858R/T790M background converts the stable protein sensitive to erlotinib-induced degradation. Using STochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) imaging, we show that SMURF2 presence allows longer membrane retention of activated EGFR upon EGF treatment, whereas, siRNA-mediated SMURF2 knockdown fastens receptor endocytosis and lysosome enrichment. In an erlotinib-sensitive PC9 cells, SMURF2 overexpression increased EGFR levels with improved erlotinib tolerance, whereas, SMURF2 knockdown decreased EGFR steady state levels in NCI-H1975 and PC9-AR cells to overcome erlotinib and AZD-9291 resistance respectively. Additionally, disruption of the SMURF2-UBCH5 complex destabilized EGFR. Together, we propose that SMURF2-mediated preferential polyubiquitination of L858R/T790M EGFR may be competing with acetylation-mediated receptor internalization to provide enhanced receptor stability and that disruption of the E3-E2 complex may be an attractive alternate to overcome TKI resistance

Project description:EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors cause dramatic responses in EGFR-mutant lung cancer, but resistance universally develops. The involvement of β-catenin in EGFR TKI resistance has been previously reported however the precise mechanism by which β-catenin activation contributes to EGFR TKI resistance is not clear. Here, we show that EGFR inhibition results in the activation of β-catenin signaling in a Notch3-dependent manner, which facilitates the survival of a subset of cells that we call “adaptive persisters”. We previously reported that EGFR-TKI treatment rapidly activates Notch3, and here describe the physical association of Notch3 with β-catenin, leading to increased stability and activation of β-catenin. We demonstrate that the combination of EGFR-TKI and a β-catenin inhibitor inhibits the development of these adaptive persisters, decreases tumor burden, improves recurrence free survival, and overall survival in xenograft models. These results supports combined EGFR-TKI and β-catenin inhibition in patients with EGFR mutant lung cancer.
