A novel in vivo model of Glioblastoma radiation resistance identifies long non-coding RNAs and targetable kinases

ABSTRACT: Glioblastomas (GBM) are the most common primary CNS tumor. GBMs often recur as highly aggressive, intractable, therapy resistant tumors. Key molecular regulators of acquired radiation resistance in recurrent GBM are largely unknown with a dearth of accurate pre-clinical models. To address this, we generated eight GBM patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of acquired radiation-therapy selected (RTS) resistance compared with same-patient, treatment naïve (RTU) PDX. A novel bioinformatics pipeline analyzed phenotypic, transcriptomic and kinomic alterations, identifying long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and targetable, PDX-specific kinases. We observed differential transcriptional enrichment of DNA damage repair (DDR) pathways in our RTS models. Multiple molecular routes to acquired radiation-resistance were revealed in our models including PDX-specific kinases that we validated with targeted small molecule inhibitors (SMIs). We identified 184, mostly novel, lncRNAs differentially regulated between RTU and RTS PDX. Several of these lncRNAs were associated with transcriptional changes in DDR, cell cycle progression, stemness, and chromatin remodeling pathways. This study identifies lncRNAs as potential key regulators in recurrent GBM and therapy resistance. We also demonstrate that SMIs aimed at lncRNA-related signaling pathways may represent a novel therapeutic approach for recurrent GBM tumors.

Platinum-sensitive HGOC residual tumors share joint expression of CRYAB, CEACAM6, SOX2 genes with tumors that acquired resistance

Project description:Purpose: Most High-Grade Ovarian Carcinomas (HGOCs) are sensitive to carboplatin (CBP)-based chemotherapy but frequently recur within 24 months. Recurrent tumors remain frequently CBP-sensitive and acquire resistance after several CBP cycles. We developed Patient-Derived Xenografts (PDXs) that allow the study of these different stages of CBP-sensitive recurrence and acquisition of resistance. Experimental Design: We generated PDX models from CBP-sensitive HGOC. PDXs were CBP- or mock-treated and tumors were sampled, after treatment and at recurrence. We also isolated models with acquired-resistance from CBP-sensitive PDXs upon repeated CBP treatment. Tumors were characterized transcriptome levels by Affymetrix microarrays. Results: All PDX models reproduced treatment response seen in the patients. CBP-sensitive residual tumors contained non-proliferating tumor cells clusters embedded in a fibrotic mesh. This was absent in CBP-resistant tumors. Residual tumors had marked differences in gene expression when compared to naïve and recurrent tumors, indicating downregulation of cell cycle and proliferation and upregulation of interferon response and epithelial–mesenchymal transition. This gene expression pattern resembled that seen in embryonal diapause and ‘drug-tolerant persister’ states. Residual and acquired-resistance tumors share the overexpression of three genes – CEACAM6, CRYAB, and SOX2. Conclusions: In HGOC PDX, CBP-sensitive recurrences arise from a small population of quiescent, drug-tolerant, residual cells embedded in a fibrotic mesh. These cells overexpress CEACAM6, CRYAB and SOX2, a signature also associated with acquired resistance and poor patient prognosis

Functional mapping of Glioblastoma recurrence reveals targetable dependencies in an axonal guidance pathway in lethal brain cancers [Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9]

Project description:Resistance to genotoxic therapies and tumor recurrence are hallmarks of glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive brain tumor. Here, we explore functional drivers of post-treatment recurrent GBM. By conducting genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens in patient-derived GBM models, we uncover distinct genetic dependencies in recurrent tumor cells absent in their patient-matched primary predecessors, accompanied by increased mutational burden and differential transcript and protein expression. These analyses map a multilayered genetic response to drive tumor recurrence, identifying protein tyrosine phosphatase 4A2 (PTP4A2) as a novel modulator of self-renewal, proliferation and tumorigenicity at GBM recurrence. Genetic perturbation or small molecule inhibition of PTP4A2 activity represses axon guidance activity through a dephosphorylation axis with roundabout guidance receptor 1 (ROBO1), exploiting a functional dependency on ROBO signaling. Importantly, engineered anti-ROBO1 single-domain antibodies mimic effects of PTP4A2 inhibition. Since a pan-PTP4A inhibitor was limited by poor penetrance across the blood brain barrier (BBB) in vivo, a second-generation chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy was engineered against ROBO1 that elicits specific and potent anti-tumor responses in vivo. A single dose of anti-ROBO1 CAR-T cells doubles median survival in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of recurrent glioblastoma, and also eradicates tumors in ~50% of mice in PDX models of adult lung-to-brain metastases and pediatric relapsed medulloblastoma. We conclude that functional reprogramming drives tumorigenicity and dependence on a multi-targetable PTP4A-ROBO1 signaling axis at GBM recurrence, with potential in other malignant brain tumors.

Evaluation of gene expression changes upon acquired resistance to anti-EGFR treatment in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:We deciphered molecular mechanisms associated with acquired resistance to anti-EGFR targeted therapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) by comparing gene expression profiles in cetuximab-sensitive and -resistant patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of HNSCC. We generated and validated several HNSCC PDX models. Resistance mechanisms to anti-EGFR therapy were investigated in one of these PDX models (UCLHN04). First, sensitivity to cetuximab treatment was tested. This model showed high sensitivity to this drug. We induced acquired resistance to anti-EGFR therapy in this sensitive model by treating it chronically with anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (cetuximab, 30 mg/kg/week) until resistance ensues. RNA-seq analysis was performed on samples coming from untreated and cetuximab-resistant PDX, revealing major changes of expression at the mRNA level.

An allosteric pan-TEAD inhibitor blocks oncogenic YAP/TAZ signaling and overcomes KRAS G12C inhibitor resistance

Project description:The Hippo pathway is a key growth-control pathway conserved across species. The downstream effectors of the Hippo pathway YAP/TAZ are frequently activated in cancer cells by a diverse array of mechanisms to drive proliferation and survival. Based on the premise that sustained interactions between YAP/TAZ and TEADs are central to their transcriptional activities, we discovered a potent small molecule inhibitor (SMI) GNE-7883 that allosterically blocks the interactions between YAP/TAZ and all four TEAD paralogs in human cells through binding to the TEAD lipid pocket. GNE-7883 effectively reduces chromatin accessibility specifically at TEAD motifs, suppresses cell proliferation in a variety of cell line models, and achieved strong anti-tumor efficacy in vivo. Furthermore, we uncovered that GNE-7883 effectively overcomes resistance to the recently approved KRAS G12C inhibitor sotorasib in both treatment-refractory and acquired resistance cell line models, providing strong proof-of-concept of TEAD SMIs in targeting YAP/TAZ-mediated KRAS inhibitor resistance. Taken together, this work demonstrates activities of TEAD SMIs in YAP/TAZ-dependent cancers and highlights their potential broad applications in precision oncology and therapy resistance.

A novel enhancer regulates MGMT expression and promotes temozolomide resistance in glioblastoma

Project description:Temozolomide (TMZ) has been used for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) since last decade, but its treatment benefits are limited by acquired resistance, a process that remains incompletely understood. Here we report that a novel enhancer, located between the promoters of Ki67 and O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) genes, is activated in TMZ-resistant patient-derived xenograft (PDX) lines as well as in recurrent tumor samples. Activation of the enhancer correlates with increased MGMT expression, a major known mechanism for TMZ resistance. We show that forced activation of the enhancer in cell lines with low MGMT expression results in elevated MGMT expression. Deletion of this enhancer in cell lines with high MGMT expression leads to reduced levels of MGMT and Ki67, increased TMZ sensitivity and impaired proliferation. Together, these studies uncover a novel mechanism that regulates MGMT expression, confers TMZ resistance and potentially regulates tumor proliferation.

Inhibition of nuclear PTEN tyrosine phosphorylation enhances glioma radiation sensitivity through attenuated DNA repair

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal brain tumour that occurs in adults and treatment for GBM has been largely unsuccessful. Ionizing radiation (IR) and chemotherapeutic agents are employed as standard of care treatment for GBM patients and both result in DNA damage. Previous data identified phosphorylation of PTEN at tyrosine 240 (pY240) in samples from patients with recurrent GBM receiving standard of care treatment and was associated with decreased overall survival. Here we demonstrate that pY240 PTEN that was triggered by FGFR2 signaling, enhanced DNA repair by facilitating the loading of PTEN onto chromatin through its interaction with KI-67 and subsequent recruitment of the DNA repair protein, RAD51, to sites of DNA damage. Thus, tumour cells with pY240 PTEN are efficient at repairing DNA damage which would be predicted to result in resistance to therapy. These findings suggest the FGFR-pY240 PTEN-DNA repair mechanism as a therapeutic target for enhancing GBM therapy.

Multilayered proteomics uncovers Notch/PKC targeting to overcome resistance to Notch inhibition in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Project description:NOTCH1 is a crucial oncogenic driver in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), making it an attractive therapeutic target. However, the success of targeted therapy using γ-secretase inhibitors (GSIs), small molecules blocking Notch cleavage and subsequent activation, has been limited due to toxicity and development of resistance, thus restricting their clinical efficacy. Here we systematically compare GSI resistant and sensitive cell states by quantitative mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics, using complementary models of resistance, including T-ALL patient-derived xenografts (PDX) models. Our datasets reveal common mechanisms of GSI resistance, including a distinct kinase signature that involves protein kinase C delta (PKCδ). We demonstrate that the PKC inhibitor sotrastaurin enhances the anti-leukemic activity of GSI in PDX models and completely abrogates the development of acquired GSI resistance “in-vitro”. Overall, we highlight the potential of proteomics to dissect alterations in cellular signaling and identify druggable pathways in cancer.

Proteogenomics analysis to identify acquired resistance-specific alterations in melanoma PDXs on MAPKi therapy [RNA-seq]

Project description:Therapeutic approaches to treat melanoma include small molecule drugs that target activating protein mutations in pro-growth signaling pathways like the MAPK pathway. While beneficial to the approximately 50% of patients with activating BRAFV600 mutation, mono- and combination therapy with MAPK inhibitors is ultimately associated with acquired resistance. To better characterize the mechanisms of MAPK inhibitor resistance in melanoma, we utilize patient-derived xenografts and apply proteogenomic approaches leveraging genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic technologies that permit the identification of resistance-specific alterations and therapeutic vulnerabilities. A specific challenge for proteogenomic applications comes at the level of data curation to enable multi-omics data integration. Here, we present a proteogenomic approach that uses custom curated databases to identify unique resistance-specific alternations in melanoma PDX models of acquired MAPK inhibitor resistance. We demonstrate this approach with a NRASQ61L melanoma PDX model from which resistant tumors were developed following treatment with a MEK inhibitor. Our multi-omics strategy addresses current challenges in bioinformatics by leveraging development of custom curated proteogenomics databases derived from individual resistant melanoma that evolves following MEK inhibitor treatment and is scalable to comprehensively characterize acquired MAPK inhibitor resistance across patient-specific models and genomic subtypes of melanoma.
