Genes expression alterations associated with resistance to combined CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy in ER+ breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Combined CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy significantly improves the outcome of patients with advanced estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. However, resistance to this treatment and resultant disease progression remains a major clinical challenge. High expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase REarranged during Transfection (RET) has been associated with resistance to endocrine therapy in breast cancer, but the role of RET in CDK4/6i treatment response/resistance remains unexplored. To identify gene expression alterations associated with resistance to combined endocrine therapy and CDK4/6i, we performed global gene expression analysis and RNA sequencing of two ER+ breast cancer cell models resistant to this combined therapy.

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.

Microarray gene expression data from RET siRNA-mediated knockdown in CDK4/6 inhibitor breast cancer resistant cells

Project description:RET is overexpressed in breast cancer cell lines resistant to combined CDK4/6i and endocrine therapy. siRNA-mediated knockdown of RET was performed to identify main pathways altered upon RET-knockdown. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression following RET knockdown in 2 cell models resistant to combined CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib and fulvestrant (MPFR and TPFR). MPFR-ret and TPFR-ret were compared to MPFR-ctrl and TPFR-ctrl, respectively. The gene expression analysis revealed a significant number of genes altered in the knockdown (ret) vs. ctrl

RNA sequencing of luminal breast cancer patient-derived xenografts (PDX) library to capture tumor heterogeneity and explore the mechanisms of resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors

Project description:Combining CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) with endocrine therapy has proven clinically effective and represents now the first-line treatment for advanced Luminal Breast Cancer (LBC) patients. However, resistance to CDK4/6i almost invariably arises in these patients, emphasising the critical need to comprehend these mechanisms and develop new strategies to overcome resistance. We report on the generation and characterisation of a LBC PDX displaying acquired resistance to CDK4/6i palbociclib. Treating a sensitive luminal BC PDX with the CDK4/6i palbociclib revealed that, despite initial tumour shrinkage, some tumours might eventually regrow under drug treatment. RNA sequencing, followed by gene set enrichment analyses, unveiled that this PDX have become refractory to CDK4/6i, both at biological and molecular level.

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.

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.

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.

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is an actionable therapeutic target in CDK4/6 inhibitor-resistant ER+/RB-deficient breast cancer [RNA-seq_siPRMT5]

Project description: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.
