Inactivation of the splicing factor RBM10 limits EGFR targeted therapy response in EGFR mutant lung cancer

ABSTRACT: Oncogene-driven lung cancers such as those with activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) often harbor additional co-occurring genetic alterations. The significance of most alterations co-occurring with mutant EGFR remains unclear. We report the impact of loss of the mRNA splicing factor RBM10 in human EGFR mutant lung cancer. RBM10 loss decreased EGFR inhibitor efficacy in patient-derived EGFR mutant tumor models. RBM10 regulated mRNA splicing of the mitochondrial apoptotic regulator Bcl-x. Genetic inactivation of RBM10 diminished EGFR inhibitor-mediated apoptosis by altering Bcl-x splicing, decreasing Bcl-xS (pro-apoptotic) and increasing Bcl-xL (anti-apoptotic) levels. Co-inhibition of Bcl-xL and mutant EGFR overcomes resistance induced by RBM10 loss. RBM10 loss was a biomarker of poor response to EGFR inhibitor treatment in clinical samples. Inactivation of the splicing factor RBM10 is a key co-occurring genetic alteration in EGFR mutant tumors that limits EGFR inhibitor efficacy and a potential biomarker of Bcl-xL inhibitor response.

Project description:Radiotherapy has a critical role in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Effectiveness of radiation in SCLC remains limited as resistance results from defects in apoptosis. In the current study, we investigated whether using a Bcl-2/Bcl-XL inhibitor S44563 can enhance radiosensitivity of SCLC cells in vitro and in vivo. In vitro studies confirmed that S44563 induce apoptosis in SCLC cells by inducing hallmarks of apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3, sub-G1 fraction induction and induction of the mitochondrial caspase activation pathway). S44563 markedly enhanced sensitivity of H146 cells and H69 cells to radiation in clonogenic assay. In addition, the combination S44563 and cisplatin-based chemo-radiation showed a dramatic tumor growth delay and increased overall survival in mouse xenograft models. In vitro experiments demonstrated a greater induction of apoptosis (sub-G1 fraction and cleaved caspase-3) with the combination as well as in vivo caspase-3 immunostaining. This positive interaction between S44563 and radiation was greater when S44563 was given after the completion of the radiation, which may be explained by the radiation-induced over expression of anti-apoptotic proteins (Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL) through the NF-?B pathway activation. Taken together, these data underline the critical role of sequence administration of targeted therapies with conventional therapies. SCLC cells which survive to IR highly rely on the induction of anti apoptotic proteins in part through NF- ?B activation for their survival yielding to the concept of 'contextual oncogene addiction' to the Bcl-2/Bcl-XL pathway providing rational for targeting survival pathways to potentiate IR. For transcriptome analysis, 106 cells were seeded in T25 flasks, allowed to growth for 24 h, and then left untreated or treated with 2 Gy radiation. After 24 hours, cells were harvested, lysed for the extraction of RNA, and processed to analyze gene expression.The design of this study consists to 6 hybridizations in dual color with Agilent Human Genome 4x44K (design 014850). The reference is always the untreated condition.
