Project description:Treating unselected cancer patients with new drugs dilutes proof of efficacy when only a fraction of patients respond to therapy. We conducted a meta-analysis on eight primary breast cancer microarray datasets representing diverse breast cancer phenotypes. We present a high-throughput protocol which incorporates drug sensitivity signatures to guide preclinical testing for effective therapeutic agents. Specifically, we focus on drug classes currently undergoing early phase clinical testing. Our genomic and experimental results suggest that the majority of basal-like breast cancers should respond to inhibitors of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase pathway, and that a relatively low toxicity histone deacetylase inhibitor, valproic acid, may target aggressive breast cancers. For a subset of drugs, prediction of sensitivity associates with tumor recurrence, suggesting clinical relevance. Preclinical studies using both cell lines and patient tumors grown in 3-dimensional in vitro and orthotopic in vivo preclinical models provide an efficient and highly relevant assessment of drug sensitivity in tumor phenotypes, and validate our genomic analyses. Together, our results show that high-throughput transcriptional profiling can significantly impact drug selection for breast cancer patients. Pre-identification of patient response may not only improve therapeutic response rates, it can also assist in quickly identifying the optimal inclusion criteria for clinical trials. Our model facilitates personalized drug therapy for cancer patients and may be generalized for study of drug efficacy in other diseases. Breast cancer pleural effusion samples from triple negative patients. Compared samples that are computationally predicted to be sensitive to valproic acid and those that are not predicted to be sensitive.

Project description:Alkylating agents are a frontline therapy for the treatment of several cancers including pediatric glioblastoma, a devastating lethal tumor in children. Unfortunately, many tumors are resistant to this therapy. We sought to identify ways of sensitizing tumor cells to alkylating agents while leaving normal cells unharmed; increasing therapeutic response while minimizing toxicity. Here we report using a siRNA screen targeting over 240 DNA damage response genes identified novel sensitizers to alkylating agents. In particular the base excision repair (BER) pathway, including 3-methylpurine-DNA glycosylase (MPG), as well as ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) were identified in our screen. Interestingly, we identified MPG as a direct novel substrate of ATM. ATM-mediated phosphorylation of MPG was required for enhanced MPG function. Importantly, combined inhibition or loss of MPG and ATM resulted in increased alkylating agent-induced cytotoxicity in vitro and prolonged survival in vivo. The discovery of the ATM-MPG axis will lead to improved treatment of alkylating agent-resistant tumors. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from snap frozen biopsy and surgical brain tissue from paediatric high grade gliomas Copy number analysis on Affymetrix SNP 250K arrays was performed for 35 paediatric high grade glioma samples and HapMap samples.

Project description:Bladder cancer, one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide, remains hard to classify due to a staggering molecular complexity. Despite a plethora of diagnostic tools and therapies, it is hard to outline the key steps leading up to the transition from high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Carcinogen-induced murine models can recapitulate urothelial carcinogenesis and natural anti-tumor immunity. Herein, we have developed and profiled a novel model of progressive NMIBC based on 10 weeks of OH-BBN exposure in hepatocyte growth factor/cyclin dependent kinase 4 (R24C) (Hgf-Cdk4R24C) mice. The profiling of the model was performed by histology grading, single cell transcriptomic and proteomic analysis, while the derivation of a tumorigenic cell line was validated and used to assess in vivo anti-tumor effects in response to immunotherapy. Established NMIBC was present in females at 10 weeks post OH-BBN exposure while neoplasia was not as advanced in male mice, however all mice progressed to MIBC. Single cell RNA sequencing analysis revealed an intratumoral heterogeneity also described in the human disease trajectory. Moreover, although immune activation biomarkers were elevated in urine during carcinogen exposure, anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD1) monotherapy did not prevent tumor progression. Furthermore, anti-PD1 immunotherapy did not control the growth of subcutaneous tumors formed by the newly derived urothelial cancer cell line. However, treatment with CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) significantly decreased tumor volume, but only in females. In conclusion, the molecular map of this novel preclinical model of bladder cancer provides an opportunity to further investigate pharmacological therapies ahead with regards to both targeted drugs and immunotherapies to improve the strategies of how we should tackle the heterogeneous tumor microenvironment in urothelial bladder cancer to improve responses rates in the clinic.

Project description:Activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway occurs in over 40% of bladder urothelial cancers. The aim of this study is to determine the therapeutic potential, the underlying action and resistant mechanisms of drugs targeting the PI3K pathway. Urothelial cancer cell lines and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) were analyzed for alterations of the PI3K pathway and for their sensitivity to the small molecule inhibitor pictilisib alone and in combination with cisplatin and/or gemcitabine. Potential predictive biomarkers for pictilisib were evaluated and RNA-sequencing was performed to explore drug resistance mechanisms. The bladder cancer cell line TCCSUP, which harbors a PIK3CA E545K mutation, was sensitive to pictilisib compared to cell lines with wild type PIK3CA. Pictilisib exhibited stronger anti-tumor activity in bladder cancer PDX models with PI3KCA H1047R mutation or amplification than a model with wild-type. Pictilisib synergized with cisplatin and/or gemcitabine in vitro, significantly delayed tumor growth and prolonged survival compared with single drug targeted treatment in the PDX models. The phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 correlated with response to pictilisib both in vitro and in vivo, and could potentially serve as biomarker to predict response to pictilisib. The inhibitor activated the compensatory MEK/ERK pathway that likely contributed to pictilisib resistance, which was reversed by co-treatment with the RAF inhibitor sorafenib. RNA-sequencing of tumors resistant to treatment suggested that LSP1 down-regulation might play a role in inducing drug resistance. These preclinical results provide new insight into the therapeutic potential of targeting the PI3K pathway for the treatment of bladder cancer.

Project description:Treatment with immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint blockade, can lead to benefit in the clinical setting. However, many preclinical and clinical studies suggest that resistance to anti-PD1 treatment frequently occurs, resulting in tumor relapse and treatment failure in cancer including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. In this study ,10 HCC patients were treated with anti-PD1, and the biopsy samples before treatment were used for 289 nanostring panel RNA sequencing to compare responding and non-responding tumors to find possible pretreatment biomarkers or targets of the anti-PD1 therapy response

Project description:Solid tumors are characterized by significantly lower oxygen (O2) levels. Despite this fact, routine preclinical cancer studies are performed under ambient O2 conditions. We have developed an experimental approach that allows us to collect, process and evaluate cancer and non-cancer cells under physioxia (3-5% O2), in such a way that there is very minimal exposure to air. We have shown in previous studies that ambient and physioxic O2 differentially impact relevant cell surface markers and sensitivity to therapy. In this study, our goal was to further explore oxygen-dependent signaling pathway alterations and to determine how these pathways influence response to targeted therapies. Using cells derived from transgenic mouse mammary tumors and healthy primary human breast epithelial cells, we show the impact of ambient air and physioxia on the kinome, with subsequent pathway alterations that mediate the effectiveness of single and combination therapies. Our data emphasize the importance of O2 considerations in preclinical cancer research and drug development.

Project description:Loss of Amylo-alpha-1-6-glucosidase-4-alpha-glucanotransferase (AGL) drives bladder cancer growth. Low AGL expression predicts poor patient outcome. Currently no specific therapeutically tractable targets/pathways exist that could be used to treat patients with low AGL expressing bladder tumors. To address this issue we carried out a transcriptome analysis in human bladder cancer cells with and without AGL expression to identify pro-tumorigenic pathways upregulated with AGL loss. We identified and validated that hyaluronic acid (HA) synthase 2 (HAS2) expression and subsequent HA synthesis is upregulated with AGL loss. We validated that HAS2 and consequent HA synthesis drive tumor growth and that genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of these respectively is a viable therapeutic option in xenograft models. We further established that bladder cancer patients with low AGL expression and high HAS2 expression have poor outcome. Together, this data provide preclinical evidence for personalized targeting of HAS2/HA signaling in patients with low AGL expressing tumors.
