Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is an actionable therapeutic target in CDK4/6 inhibitor-resistant ER+/RB-deficient breast cancer [RNA-seq_RBKO vs WT]

ABSTRACT: CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) have improved survival of patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. However, patients treated with CDK4/6i eventually develop drug resistance and progress. RB1 loss-of-function alterations confer resistance to CDK4/6i, but the optimal therapy for these patients is unclear. Through a genome-wide CRISPR screen, we identified protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) as a molecular vulnerability in ER+/RB1-knockout (RBKO) breast cancer cells. Inhibition of PRMT5 blocked the G1-to-S transition in the cell cycle independent of RB, leading to growth arrest in RBKO cells. Proteomics analysis uncovered fused in sarcoma (FUS) as a downstream effector of PRMT5. Inhibition of PRMT5 resulted in dissociation of FUS from RNA polymerase II (Pol II), which led to Ser2 Pol II hyperphosphorylation, intron retention, and subsequent downregulation of proteins involved in DNA synthesis. Furthermore, treatment with the PRMT5 inhibitor pemrametostat and a selective ER degrader fulvestrant synergistically inhibited growth of ER+/RB-deficient cell-derived and patient-derived xenografts. These findings highlight the potential of dual ER and PRMT5 blockade as a novel therapeutic strategy to overcome resistance to CDK4/6i in ER+/RB-deficient breast cancer.

RB-loss determines selective resistance and novel vulnerabilities in breast cancer modelsRB loss

Project description:The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (RB1) plays a critical role in coordinating multiple pathways that impact on tumor initiation, disease progression, and therapeutic responses. Here we interrogated the effect of CDK4/6 inhibitor in combination with mTOR inhibtor. Also, we interrogtaed the efffect of AURK and WEE1 inhibition in ER+ breast cacner models While the RB-pathway has been purported to exhibit multiple mutually exclusive events, only RB1 is mutually exclusive with multiple genetic events that deregulate CDK4/6 activity. Using an isogenic ER+ breast cancer model with targeted RB1 deletion, we identified gene expression features that link CDK4/6 activity and RB-dependency (CDK4/6-RB integrated signature). We also investigated the role of RB on apoptotic pathway. Single copy loss on chromosome 13q encompassing the RB1 locus is prevalent in many cancers, and is associated with reduced expression of multiple genes on 13q including RB1, and inversely related to the CDK4/6-RB integrated signature supporting a genetic cause/effect relationship. To probe the broader implications on tumor biology, we investigated genes that are positively and inversely correlated with the CDK4/6-RB integrated signature. This approach defined tumor-specific pathways that could represent new therapeutic vulnerabilities associated with RB-pathway activity.

Pan-cancer molecular analysis of the RB-pathway

Project description:The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (RB1) plays a critical role in coordinating multiple pathways that impact on tumor initiation, disease progression, and therapeutic responses. Here we interrogated the TCGA pan-cancer data collection to probe fundamental molecular features associated with the RB-pathway across 31 tumor-types. While the RB-pathway has been purported to exhibit multiple mutually exclusive events, only RB1 is mutually exclusive with multiple genetic events that deregulate CDK4/6 activity. Using an isogenic ER+ breast cancer model with targeted RB1 deletion, we identified gene expression features that link CDK4/6 activity and RB-dependency (CDK4/6-RB integrated signature). This gene expression signature is associated with prognosis across a spectrum of tumors that exhibit average lower signature value indicative of more indolent diseases. Single copy loss on chromosome 13q encompassing the RB1 locus is prevalent in many cancers, and is associated with reduced expression of multiple genes on 13q including RB1, and inversely related to the CDK4/6-RB integrated signature supporting a genetic cause/effect relationship. To probe the broader implications on tumor biology, we investigated genes that are positively and inversely correlated with the CDK4/6-RB integrated signature. This approach defined tumor-specific pathways that could represent new therapeutic vulnerabilities associated with RB-pathway activity.

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.

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.

Selective CDK7 inhibition suppresses cell cycle progression and MYC signaling while enhancing apoptosis in therapy-resistant estrogen receptor positive breast cancer

Project description:Purpose: Resistance to endocrine therapy (ET) and CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) is a clinical challenge in estrogen receptor (ER) positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC). Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) is a candidate target in endocrine resistant ER+ BC models and selective CDK7 inhibitors (CDK7i) are in clinical development for the treatment of ER+ BC. Nonetheless, the precise mechanisms responsible for the activity of CDK7i in ER+ BC remain elusive. Herein, we sought to unravel these mechanisms. Experimental Design: We conducted multi-omic analyses in ER+ BC models in vitro and in vivo including models with different genetic backgrounds. We also performed genome wide CRISPR knock-out library screens to identify potential therapeutic vulnerabilities in CDK4/6i resistance models. Results: We found that the on-target anti-tumor effects of CDK7 inhibition in ER+ BC are in part p53 dependent, involve cell-cycle inhibition and suppression of c-Myc. Moreover, CDK7 inhibition exhibited cytotoxic effects, distinctive from the cytostatic nature of ETs and CDK4/6i. CDK7 inhibition resulted in suppression of ER phosphorylation at S118, however, long-term CDK7 inhibition resulted in increased ER signaling, supporting the combination of ET with a CDK7i. Lastly, genome wide CRISPR/Cas9 screens identified CDK7 and MYC signaling as putative vulnerabilities in CDK4/6i resistance, and CDK7 inhibition effectively inhibited CDK4/6i resistant models. Conclusions: Taken together, these findings support the clinical investigation of selective CDK7 inhibition combined with ET to overcome treatment resistance in ER+ BC. In addition, our study highlights the potential of increased c-Myc activity and intact p53 as predictors for sensitivity to CDK7 inhibitor-based treatments.

RNA-seq analysis of acute Rb1 deletion in adult mouse tissues

Project description:Abstract:The pRb tumor suppressor protein associates with chromatin and regulates gene expression. Numerous studies have identified Rb-dependent RNA signatures, but the proteomic effects of Rb-loss are largely unexplored. We have acutely ablated Rb in adult mice and conducted quantitative analysis of RNA and proteomic changes in colon and lung, where Rb-loss was sufficient or insufficient to induce ectopic proliferation respectively. As expected, RbKO caused similar increases in classic pRb/E2F-regulated transcripts in both tissues, but unexpectedly their protein products increased only in the colon, consistent with its increased proliferative index. Thus, these protein changes induced by Rb-loss are coupled with proliferation, but uncoupled from transcription. The proteomic changes in common between RbKO tissues showed a striking decrease in proteins with mitochondrial functions. Accordingly, RB1 inactivation in human cells decreased both mitochondrial mass and OXPHOS function. RBKO cells showed decreased mitochondrial respiratory capacity and the accumulation of hypopolarized mitochondria. Additionally, RB/Rb-loss altered mitochondrial pyruvate oxidation from 13C-Glucose through the TCA cycle in both cells and mouse tissues. Consequently, RBKO cells have an enhanced sensitivity to mitochondrial stress conditions. In summary, proteomic analyses provide a new perspective on Rb/RB1 mutation, highlighting the importance of pRb for mitochondrial function and suggesting vulnerabilities for treatment.

Short term (16 hour) treatment of ER+ breast cancer cell lines with low doses of CDK4/6 inhibition

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors have improved progression free survival for metastatic, estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancers, but their role in the non-metastatic setting remains unclear. We sought to understand the effects of CDK4/6 inhibition (CDK4/6i) and radiation (RT) in multiple preclinical breast cancer models. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were used to identify significantly altered pathways after CDK4/6i. Clonogenic assays were used to quantify the RT enhancement ratio (rER). DNA damage was quantified using γH2AX staining and the neutral comet assay. DNA repair was assessed using RAD51 foci formation and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) reporter assays. Orthotopic xenografts were used to assess the efficacy of combination therapy. Palbociclib significantly radiosensitized multiple ER+ cell lines at low nanomolar, sub IC50 concentrations (rER: 1.21 – 1.52) and led to a decrease in the surviving fraction of cells at 2 Gy (p < 0.001). Similar results were observed in ribociclib- (rER: 1.08 - 1.68) and abemaciclib-treated (rER: 1.19 - 2.05) cells. Combination treatment decreased RAD51 foci formation (p < 0.001), leading to a suppression of HR activity, but did not affect NHEJ efficiency (p > 0.05). Immortalized breast epithelial cells and cells with acquired resistance to CDK4/6i did not demonstrate radiosensitization (rER: 0.94 – 1.11) or changes in RAD51 foci. In xenograft models, concurrent palbociclib and RT led to a significant decrease in tumor growth. These studies provide preclinical rationale to test CDK4/6i + RT in women with locally-advanced ER+ breast cancer at high risk for locoregional recurrence.
