Cell Chem Bio 2017. Progressive kidney diseases affect approximately 500 million people worldwide. Podocytes are terminally differentiated cells of the kidney filter, whose loss leads to disease progression and kidney failure. To date, there are no therapies to promote podocyte survival. Drug repurposing may therefore help accelerate the development of cures in an area of tremendous unmet need. In a newly developed high-throughput screening assay of podocyte viability, we identified the BRAF V600E inhibitor GDC-0879 and the adenylate cyclase agonist forskolin as podocyte survival promoting compounds. GDC-0879 protects podocytes from injury through paradoxical activation of the MEK/ERK pathway. Forskolin promotes podocyte survival by attenuating protein biosynthesis. Importantly, GDC-0879 and forskolin are shown to promote podocyte survival against an array of cellular stressors. This work reveals new therapeutic targets for much needed podocyte-protective therapies, and provides insights into the use of GDC-0879-like molecules for the treatment of progressive kidney diseases.

Project description:BRAF, one of three RAF serine/threonine kinases (ARAF, BRAF and CRAF), plays a major role in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, which mediates cellular responses to growth signals. Recently a high frequency (~60%-70%) of activating BRAF mutations (predominantly V600E) has been reported in malignant melanoma. In order to identify the downstream effects of BRAF signaling on melanoma cell growth and gene expression, cDNA microarray analysis was carried out following BRAF siRNA or MEK1/2 inhibitor (U0126) treatment.

Project description:Extracellular signal regulated kinases, ERK1 and ERK2 are often considered as redundant due to their high homology, large number of overlapping substrates, and ability to substitute for each other in genetically engineered mouse models. We have investigated the individual contribution of ERK1 and ERK2 to the survival of human melanoma cell lines driven by oncogenic BRAF. ERK2, but not ERK1 activity, was crucial to drive survival and maintain transcriptional output of the MAPK pathway. Furthermore, we found that ERK2 DEF-domain interactions were crucial for transcriptional regulation and survival in some cells, but not in others, whereas ERK2-substrate interactions at the D-docking motif were largely dispensable. We used microarrays to examine the global impact of gene expression by imhibiting different nodes of MAPK pathway.

Project description:Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors are important therapies for treating many cancers. However, the development of acquired resistance to most protein kinase inhibitors limit their ability to provide durable responses. Approximately 50% of malignant melanomas contain activating mutations in the BRAF kinase, which promote cancer cell survival by activating the extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway through direct phosphorylation of the MAPK/ERK kinase-1/2 (MEK1/2). Although combination treatment with BRAF and MEK1/2 inhibitors is a recommended approach to treat melanoma, the development of drug resistance remains a barrier to achieving long term patient benefits. Using high-resolution label-free mass spectrometry, the current studies compared relative protein changes in BRAF and MEK1/2 inhibitor resistant A375 melanoma cells grown as monolayers or 3D spheroids. While approximately 66% of proteins identified were common in both monolayer and spheroid cultures, only 6.2% or 3.6% of proteins that significantly increased or decreased, respectively, compared to drug sensitive cells were common between the drug-resistant monolayer and spheroid cells. Major changes in drug-resistant monolayers suggested upregulation of alternative kinase signaling pathways that promote growth and metastasis. In contrast, the major changes in drug-resistant spheroids indicated increased catabolic metabolism to support oxidative phosphorylation and energy requirements.

Project description:Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) has among the worst prognosis of any solid malignancy. The low incidence of the disease has in part precluded systematic clinical trials and tissue collection, and there has been little progress in developing effective therapies. BRAF and TP53 mutations co-occur in a high proportion of ATC, particularly those associated with a precursor papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). In order to develop an adult-onset model of BRAF-mutant anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, we generated a novel thyroid-specific CreER transgenic mouse. We utilize a Cre-regulated BrafV600E mouse and a conditional Trp53 allelic series to demonstrate that p53 constrains progression from papillary to anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. Gene expression and immunohistochemical analyses of murine tumors identified the cardinal features of human ATC including loss of differentiation, local invasion, distant metastasis and rapid lethality. We employed small animal ultrasound imaging to monitor autochthonous tumors, and show that treatment with the selective BRAF inhibitor PLX4720 improved survival, but did not lead to tumor regression or suppress signaling through the MAPK pathway. Combination of PLX4720 and the MEK inhibitor PD0325901 more completely suppressed MAPK pathway activation in mouse and human ATC cell lines, and improved the structural response and survival of ATC-bearing animals. This model expands the limited repertoire of autochthonous models of clinically aggressive thyroid cancer, and these data suggest that small molecule MAPK pathway inhibitors hold clinical promise in the treatment of advanced thyroid carcinoma. Total RNA from five murine papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tumors and five murine anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) tumors was analyzed.

Project description:Erythropoiesis is a crucial part in hematopoietic system, while facing disruptions from various diseases conditions. Anemia and blood shortages has become global challenges, with current finite pharmacological options like EPO or glucocorticoids having limitations, especially in genetic anemias like Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA), calling for novel candidates in stimulating the erythropoiesis. We designed the primary human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) chemicals screening system in erythropoiesis and unexpectedly discovered a BRAF inhibitor, effectively against BRAFV600E mutant cancers, delaying erythroid differentiation while promoting progenitors’ proliferation. Further research demonstrated its efficacy in cytokine-restricted conditions and in samples from erythroid disorder patients. Mechanistically, BRAF inhibitors paradoxically activated the RAF-MEK-ERK/MAPK pathway. Unlike oncogenic BRAFV600E impaired hematopoiesis and erythropoiesis via AP-1 hyperactivation, BRAF inhibitors minimally affected HSPCs self-renewal and differentiation. In vivo studies further exhibited BRAF inhibitors' potential to enhance human hematopoiesis and erythropoiesis in severe immunodeficient mouse models and alleviate anemia symptoms in Rpl11 haploinsufficiency DBA models and other anemia models. This discovery sheds light on the MAPK pathway's role in hematopoiesis, making BRAF inhibitors a novel clinically therapeutic choice in improving hematopoietic reconstitution and the recovery of anemias like DBA.

Project description:Genotype directed anti-cancer therapies such BRAF inhibitor in BRAF mutant melanoma can show remarkable clinical efficacy but resistance limits their benefit. We show that a transposon activation screen efficiently identifies resistance genes to BRAF and captures a number of previously uncharacterized resistance mechanisms, including an E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4L and the Hippo pathway effector WWTR1 (TAZ). Resistance can be reversed by combining BRAF inhibition with tyrosine kinase inhibitors as observed previously for other resistance genes. Moreover, an integrative analysis of several gain- and loss-of-function genetic screens performed in the same context reveals smaller functional diversity of resistance mechanisms to MAPK inhibition than suggested by the broad range of resistance genes identified, implying common therapeutic strategies.

Project description:The first clinical trial testing the combination of targeted therapy with a BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib and immunotherapy with a CTLA-4 antibody ipilimumab was terminated early due to significant liver toxicities, possibly due to paradoxical activation of the MAPK pathway by BRAF inhibitors in tumors with wild type BRAF. MEK inhibitors can potentiate the MAPK inhibition in tumor, while potentially alleviating the unwanted paradoxical MAPK activation. With a mouse model of syngeneic BRAFV600E driven melanoma (SM1), we tested whether the addition of the MEK inhibitor trametinib would enhance the immunosensitization effects of the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib. Combination of dabrafenib and trametinib with pmel-1 adoptive cell transfer (ACT) showed complete tumor regression. Bioluminescent imaging and tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) phenotyping showed increased effector infiltration to tumors with dabrafenib, trametinib or dabrafenib plus trametinib with pmel-1 ACT combination. Intracellular IFN gamma staining of the TILs and in vivo cytotoxicity studies showed trametinib was not detrimental to the effector functions in vivo. Dabrafenib increased tumor associated macrophages and T regulatory cells (Tregs) in the tumors, which can be overcome by addition of trametinib. Microarray analysis revealed increased melanoma antigen, MHC expression, and global immune-related gene upregulation with the triple combination therapy. Given the up-regulation of PD-L1 seen with dabrafenib and/or trametinib combined with antigen specific ACT, we tested the triple combination of dabrafenib, trametinib with anti-PD1 therapy, and observed superior anti-tumor effect to SM1 tumors. Our findings support the testing of these combinations in patients with BRAFV600E mutant metastatic melanoma. SM1 tumors were implanted into C57BL/6 mice. Mice were treated by ACT of pmel-1 splenocytes or C57BL/6 splenocytes as control. Pmel-1 treated mice were additionally treated with either vehicle, dabrafenib, trametinib, or combination of both drugs and control mice were treated with vehicle or combination of both drugs.
