FOXA1 phosphorylation by CDK4 prevents activation of novel chromatin regions and HER2 expression in breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Cyclin Dependent Kinase 4/6 inhibitors induce transcription in breast tumors via FOXA1 chromatin binding. The use of Cyclin Dependent Kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) induce transcription in breast tumors. The control mechanism of such genomic changes and their physiological relevance are not elucidated yet. Now, we identified chromatin activation of tumors treated with CDK4/6i. These chromatin changes induce an increase of HER2 expression and signaling. Mechanically, our study demonstrates that FOXA1 is a new substrate of CDK4 and that its phosphorylation limits the binding of FOXA1 to conventional chromatin regions. Moreover, when patients are treated with CDK4/6i, a dephosphorylated FOXA1 binds to additional chromatin regions. By doing so, FOXA1 leads to an increase of HER2 expression and of the activation of HER2-MEK-ERK pathway in breast cancer patients. Accordingly, we might envision a clinical benefit of adding antiHER2 therapy to delay development of resistance and therefore, to prolong PFS in patients yet receiving CDK4/6i.

Therapeutic benefits of maintaining CDK4/6 inhibitors and incorporating CDK2 inhibitors beyond progression in breast cancer

Project description:The combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy (ET) has significantly improved outcomes for patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) metastatic breast cancer. However, most patients eventually develop resistance, leading to treatment discontinuation. The therapeutic benefits of maintaining CDK4/6i or transitioning to CDK2 inhibitors (CDK2i) beyond disease progression remain unclear. Here, we show that maintaining CDK4/6i and ET or combining them with CDK2i effectively suppresses the growth of drug-resistant HR+ breast cancer cells by prolonging G1-phase progression. CDK4/6i maintenance triggers a non-canonical pathway for Rb inactivation through post-translational degradation, resulting in attenuated E2F activity and slowed G1 progression. ET further augments this effect by inhibiting c-Myc-mediated E2F amplification. Although the maintenance of CDK4/6i and ET outperforms CDK2i with ET, the triple combination of CDK4/6i, CDK2i, and ET most effectively suppresses both E2F activity and tumor growth. Moreover, while overexpression of both cyclin E and A can promote resistance to the CDK4/6i and CDK2i combination, cyclin E plays a more pivotal role in developing resistance. These findings highlight the potential of sustained CDK4/6i therapy and the incorporation of CDK2i to mitigate resistance in HR+ breast cancer.

Microarray gene expression data from MCF-7 and LetR cells

Project description:Resistance to aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment and combined CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy (ET) are crucial clinical challenges in treating estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Understanding the resistance mechanisms and identifying reliable predictive biomarkers and novel treatment combinations to overcome resistance are urgently needed. Herein, we show that upregulation of CDK6, p-CDK2, and/or cyclin E1 is associated with adaptation and resistance to AI-monotherapy and combined CDK4/6i and ET in ER+ advanced breast cancer. Importantly, co-targeting CDK2 and CDK4/6 with ET synergistically impairs cellular growth, induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and delays progression in AI-resistant and combined CDK4/6i and fulvestrant-resistant cell models and in an AI-resistant autocrine breast tumor in a postmenopausal xenograft model. Analysis of CDK6, p-CDK2, and/or cyclin E1 expression as a combined biomarker in metastatic lesions of ER+ advanced breast cancer patients treated with AI-monotherapy or combined CDK4/6i and ET revealed a correlation between high biomarker expression and shorter progression-free survival (PFS), and the biomarker combination was an independent prognostic factor in both patients cohorts. Our study supports the clinical development of therapeutic strategies co-targeting ER, CDK4/6 and CDK2 following progression on AI-monotherapy or combined CDK4/6i and ET to improve survival of patients exhibiting high tumor levels of CDK6, p-CDK2, and/or cyclin E1.

Distinct CDK6 complexes determine tumor cell response to CDK4/6 inhibitors and degraders

Project description:CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) are effective in metastatic breast cancer, but they have been only modestly effective in most other tumor types. Here we show that tumors expressing low CDK6 rely on CDK4 function, and are exquisitely sensitive to CDK4/6i. In contrast, tumor cells expressing both CDK4 and CDK6 have increased reliance on CDK6 to ensure cell cycle progression. We discovered that CDK4/6i and CDK4/6 degraders potently bind and inhibit CDK6 selectively in tumors in which CDK6 is highly thermo-unstable and strongly associated with the HSP90/CDC37 complex. In contrast, CDK4/6i and CDK4/6 degraders are ineffective in antagonizing tumor cells expressing thermostable CDK6, due to their weaker binding to CDK6 in these cells. Thus, we uncover a general mechanism of intrinsic resistance to CDK4/6i and CDK4/6i-derived degraders and the need for novel inhibitors targeting the CDK4/6i-resistant, thermostable form of CDK6 for application as cancer therapeutics.

Efficacy of abemaciclib in palbociclib-resistant hormone receptor positive breast cancer cell lines: MCF-7 and T47D

Project description:Resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine therapy, standard of care for HR+/HER2-neg metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients, remains as a clinical problem with limited therapeutic options after disease progression. Treatment with abemaciclib after progression on a prior CDK4/6i has received increasing interest. However, molecular predictors of cross-resistance and unique mechanism of resistance to each CDK4/6i are unknown. In this study, multiomics analyses revealed ≥30 differentially altered pathways between palbociclib and abemaciclib resistant models. Mechanistic, preclinical and retrospective clinical evidence showed that HR+/HER2-neg MBC tumors refractory to palbociclib still may be responsive to abemaciclib. Based on the unique mechanisms of resistance to each CDK4/6i, we propose that patients who would benefit from abemaciclib treatment post progression on palbociclib could be selected based on the Hallmark gene set enrichment of G2/M pathway, while those who most probably would be refractory could be identified base on the gene set enrichment of OXPHOS pathway.

ESR1 Y537S and D538G mutations drive resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer

Project description:Purpose: Breast cancers with ESR1 mutations are resistant to antiestrogen therapy. We aimed to investigate the association of ESR1 mutations with resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) using real-world data analysis and experimental validation. Patients and Methods: A total of 3,958 patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) metastatic breast cancer with DNA sequencing data were analyzed. Breast tumor DNA and circulating tumor (ct) DNA were sequenced using the Tempus xT tumor assay and Tempus xF liquid biopsy, respectively. Patients were stratified into either treated with CDK4/6i (breast tumors: 1,070; ctDNA: 1,885) or CDK4/6i naïve (breast tumors: 750; ctDNA: 253). Engineered MCF7 cells carrying ESR1 Y537S or D538G knock-in mutations were used to study antitumor efficacy of the CDK4/6i, palbociclib in vitro and in vivo. Results: In both xF and xT assays, ESR1 mutations were the only somatic alterations significantly more frequent in those who received CDK4/6i than those who did not. Knock-in of ESR1 Y537S or ESR1 D538G in MCF7 cells resulted in upregulation of cell cycle-related gene signatures upon treatment with CDK4/6i ± antiestrogen compared to cells with non-mutant ESR1. MCF7 xenografts harboring ESR1 Y537S and D538G mutations established in nude mice were resistant to palbociclib. Conclusions: We report herein real-world and preclinical evidence that ESR1 mutations, particularly Y537S and D538G, can drive resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Characterizing of Breast Cancer translational PEARL clinical trial

Project description:Introduction In HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is imperative to identify patients who respond poorly to CDK4/6i and to discover therapeutic targets to reverse this resistance. Non-luminal breast cancer subtype and high levels of CCNE1 are candidate biomarkers in this setting but further validation is needed. Methods We performed mRNA gene expression profiling and correlation with progression-free-survival (PFS) on 455 tumor samples included in the phase III PEARL study, that assigned HR+/HER2- MBC patients to receive palbociclib+ET vs capecitabine. ER+/HER2- breast cancer cell lines were used to generate and characterize resistance to palbociclib+ET. Results Non-luminal subtype was more prevalent in metastatic (14%) than in primary tumor samples (4%). Patients with non-luminal tumors had median PFS of 2.4months (m) with palbociclib+ET and 9.3m with capecitabine; HR:4.16, adjusted p-value<0.0001. Tumors with high CCNE1 expression (above median) had also worse median PFS with palbociclib+ET (6.2m) than with capecitabine (9.3m); HR:1.55, adjusted p-value=0.0036. In patients refractory to palbociclib+ET (PFS in the lower quartile) we found higher levels of Polo Like Kinase 1 (PLK1). In an independent data set (PALOMA3), tumors with high PLK1 show worse median PFS than those with low PLK1 expression under palbociclib+ET treatment. In ER+/HER2- cell line models we show that PLK1 inhibition reverses resistance to palbociclib+ET. Conclusion We confirm the association of non-luminal subtype and CCNE1 with resistance to CDK4/6i+ET in HR+ MBC. High levels of PLK1 mRNA identify patients with poor response to palbociclib, suggesting PLK1 could also play a role in the setting of resistance to CDK4/6i.

Dual targeting CDK4/6 and CDK7 augments tumor response and anti-tumor immunity in breast cancer

Project description:CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) have significantly improved the prognosis for hormone-positive (HR+) breast cancer patients. However, the emergence of drug resistance severely limits their long-term efficacy, and CDK4/6i monotherapy remains largely ineffective against triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we demonstrate that combining CDK4/6i with CDK7 inhibitors (CDK7i) offers a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome resistance in both HR+ breast cancer and TNBC. Kinetic analyses reveal that CDK7i primarily targets RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription, a key driver of CDK4/6i resistance by amplifying E2F activity following the degradation of the retinoblastoma protein. Consequently, the combination of CDK4/6i and CDK7i synergistically suppresses E2F activity and inhibits the growth of drug-resistant tumors. Furthermore, this combination stimulates immune response pathways and cytokine production in cancer cells, enhancing anti-tumor immunity. These findings provide critical insights into evolving CDK inhibition strategies and highlight the therapeutic application of CDK7i in breast cancer management.

RANK expression and Luminal BC response to CDK4/6 inhibitors

Project description:The combination of endocrine therapy (ET) with CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) was the most recent life-changing hallmark in metastatic Luminal breast cancer (BC). However, intrinsic and acquired resistance affect long-term efficacy. Here, we studied the role of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB (RANK) pathway in CDK4/6i resistance. We found that RANK overexpression in Luminal BC associates with intrinsic resistance to CDK4/6i, both in vitro and in mouse xenografts. Transcriptomic analysis of mouse tumors highlighted decreased proliferation rate and chronic interferon (IFN)-response as resistance drivers.

CDK4 phosphorylation status and rational use for combining CDK4/6 and BRAF/MEK inhibition in advanced thyroid carcinomas

Project description:Despite overall good prognosis associated to thyroid cancer, poorly differentiated carcinomas (PDTC) and anaplastic carcinomas (ATC) represent major clinical challenges. We have shown that the presence of active T172-phosphorylated CDK4 predicts sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitory drugs (CDK4/6i) including palbociclib. Here, CDK4 phosphorylation was detected in all well-differentiated thyoid carcinomas (n=29), 19/20 PDTC, 16/23 ATC, and 18/21 thyroid cancer cell lines including 11 ATC-derived ones. The cell lines lacking CDK4 phosphorylation were insensitive to CDK4/6i. RNA-sequencing and immunohistochemistry revealed that tumors and cell lines without phosphorylated CDK4 presented very high p16CDKN2A levels that were associated with proliferative activity. One of the main mechanisms of resistance to CDK4/6i is RB1 defects or inactivation. RB1 mutations were present in the 3 insensitive cell lines but were not found in 5 of the 7 tumors without phosphorylated CDK4. p16/KI67 immunohistochemistry and a previously developed 11-gene signature identified the likely insensitive tumors and cell lines lacking CDK4 phosphorylation. In cell lines, palbociclib synergized with dabrafenib/trametinib, completely and irreversibly arresting proliferation. The combined drugs prevented resistance mechanisms induced by palbociclib, most notably Cyclin E1-CDK2 activation and a paradoxical stabilization of phosphorylated CDK4 complexes. Our study supports the evaluation of CDK4/6i for ATC/PDTC treatment, including in combination with MEK/BRAF inhibitors.
