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:The non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) PC9 cell line is an established preclinical model for tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Using PC9 cells, we generated EGFR-mutant lung cancer xenografts to study the differences in response between individual cells and cell populations. We performed treatment of PC9 xenograft tumors with the combination of osimertinib and crizotinib as well as single drugs, followed by Drop-seq. The addition of crizotinib was guided by our previous data in PC9 grown in cell culture that identified an erlotinib-resistant drug population sensitive to crizotinib. The results of the xenograft study show that combination treatment targets specific osimertinib-tolerant cell populations but leaves a subset of the population that is tolerant to the combo. Each cell subpopulation is characterized by specific molecular signatures. The results of our study help to address emerging drug resistance that limits clinical usefulness of targeted strategies, particularly in NSCLC.

Project description:The non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) PC9 cell line is an established preclinical model for tyrosine kinase inhibitors. To be able to better understand the differences in response between individual cells, we performed treatment of PC9 cells grown in cell culture with etoposide, erlotinib and its combination with crizotinib, followed by Drop-seq. The addition of crizotinib was guided by our previous data that an erlotinib-resistant drug population may be sensitive to crizotinib. To better understand the common events in drug resistance, we compared the resistant cell populations arising from the treatment with etoposide and from the treatment with erlotinib. The results of our study will address emerging drug resistance that limits clinical usefulness of conventional and targeted strategies, particularly in NSCLC.

Project description:The non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) PC9 cell line is an established preclinical model for tyrosine kinase inhibitors. To better understand gene expression changes in cells that survived the inhibitor treatment, we treated the EGFR-mutant PC9 cells with erlotinib, isolated RNA, and performed RNA-seq analysis. We were able to identify genes that are differentially expressed in erlotinib-treated cells compared to untreated. The results of this study will be integrated with single cell RNA-seq to address the utility of bulk RNA versus single cell RNA strategies in identifying biomarkers of drug resistance.

Project description:Given the recent reports on the role of AXL in mediating resistance to EGFR-targeted therapy, we generated cell line models of Erlotinib-resistance to investigate the effect of AXL inhibitors on EGFR TKI resistance. For this, EGFR-mutant PC9 cells were passed through a persister bottleneck by applying strong drug selection pressure to generate drug-tolerant erlotinib persister cells. We created four Erlotinib-resistant clones from one parental population; S1-34, S2-10, S2-17 and S2-30. Whole exome and RNA sequencing analyses were performed to probe the differences in Erlotinib-resistance mechanisms present in these persister-derived Erlotinib-resistant cells.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to chacterise the effect of KDM1A knocking down on genome-wide gene expression in human NSCLC cells in vivo. Affymetrix human transcriptome array 2.0 was used to profile the transcriptome of xenograft tumors derived from PC9 cells stably expressing either ShRNA KDM1A or ShRNA control. These cells were subcutanously injected into the right axillary of the mouse, and allowd to grow for 5 weeks to form xenograft tumors. Although KDM1A is up-regulated in NSCLC, but key genes and pathways regulated by KDM1A was not well-understood in NSCLC. Using this approach, we have shown that KDM1A repressed or activated a distinctive set of pathways and key target genes in vivo. This first comprehesive study of transciptome profile upon KDM1A koncking-down in vivo highlights the distinctive pathways regulated by KDM1A during NSCLC tumorigenesis, and it will help to identify new therapeutic targets for NSCLC treatment. Xenograft tumors derived from two cell lines: PC9 cells stably expressing ShRNA KDM1A or ShRNA control. We extracted total RNA from 3 independent xenograft tumors per cell line.

Project description:Introduction: The clinical benefit of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating EGFR mutations is temporary, as virtually all patients develop acquired EGFR TKI resistance that occurs via diverse mechanisms. Here, we identified increased FGFR1 expression as such a resistance mechanism and using pathways analysis and drug combination testing we identified a novel combination treatment to control growth of these resistant tumors. Methods: Novel erlotinib-resistant NSCLC cell lines were generated and analyzed by mass spectrometry-based proteomics to identify altered pathways associated with erlotinib resistance. The altered pathways were further analyzed in gefitinib and osibenib resistant cell lines. Small molecule inhibitor combinations were used to block the altered pathways and investigate growth reduction in vitro and in two xenograft mouse models. FGFR1 mRNA levels were examined in pre- and (post?)- EGFR TKI treatment clinical tumor samples. Results: Proteomic analysis revealed increased expression of FGFR1 and AXL as well as increased Akt and ERK1/2 activation in a panel of novel erlotinib-resistant HCC827 cell lines. Combined treatment with erlotinib or osimertinib and a panel of small molecule inhibitors targeting AXL/MET, FGFRs, Akt, PI3K/mTOR, MEK or ERK1/2 showed that the most prominent re-sensitization to EGFR TKI occurred with the pan-FGFR inhibitor, PD173074. Interestingly, simultaneous blockade of components of the Akt pathway using specific Akt or dual PI3K-mTOR inhibitors combined with inhibitors targeting the FGFR family exhibited the most efficient growth inhibition of FGFR1 overexpressing EGFR TKI-resistant cell lines. Phosphorylation of proteins downstream of Akt, including PRAS40, FOXO and S6 ribosomal protein, were completely abrogated by PD173074 combined with the Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 . Combination treatment with PD173074 and an Akt inhibitor exhibited synergistic growth inhibition in vivo in two FGFR1 overexpressing NSCLC EGFR TKI-resistant animal models. Conclusion: The significant growth inhibition in vitro and in vivo observed with PD173074 combined with Akt compared to either drug alone imply that inhibition of several key targets may be beneficial in controlling erlotinib-resistant NSCLC. The complete abrogation of PRAS40, FOXO and S6 phosphorylations by PD173074 combined with an Akt inhibitor indicates that the Akt pathway is no longer active.

Project description:The goal of this study was to compare the transcriptome (RNA-seq) of EGFR TKI sensitive NSCLC cells with that of cells with acquired resistance to erlotinib. HCC827 and HCC4006 cells were continuously cultured in erlotinib until erlotinib resistant (ER) variants emerged. All ER variants were negative for T790M. RNA from parental and ER cells was isolated for transcriptomic profiling. RNA-seq analysis reveals that EGFR TKI resistance is associated with a mesenchymal gene expression signature.
