Synergistic combination therapies involving regorafenib in experimental glioma based on genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 functional screens

ABSTRACT: Registered systemic treatment options for glioblastoma patients are limited, particularly for progressive glioblastoma, including bevacizumab in the US and some other countries as well as lomustine. The phase II REGOMA trial suggested an improvement of overall survival in progressive glioblastoma by the multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor regorafenib. This has not been confirmed by GBM AGILE, however. Of note, regorafenib has been administered as monotherapy in progressive glioblastoma or as an addition to standard of care in newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Rational combination therapies involving regorafenib, instead of entirely discontinuing any consideration of this compound, might be therefore a reasonable strategy. We addressed this research gap and used an innovative discovery and validation approach to identify functionally-instructed combination therapies. We applied a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9-based functional genomics experimental approach including activation and knockout screens for the discovery of potential molecular targets modifying the therapeutic efficacy of regorafenib in experimental glioma. Selected functionally instructed molecular hits were then validated regarding synergistic interaction in vitro, ex vivo and in two orthotopic mouse models in vivo.This functional genomics approach led to the discovery of several molecular targets. Based on subsequent validation experiments including a customized compound library, we identified novel combination therapies. Particularly, the combination of regorafenib with Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibition was among the most promising strategies.

Synthetic Lethal Interaction Between Loss of Function of OGDH and Bcl-xL in Glioblastoma

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) remains an incurable disease, requiring more effective therapies. Through CRISPR and RNAi library screening interrogation we identified several TCA-cycle enzymes as essential for GBM growth. By combining a transcriptome and metabolite screening analyses we discovered that loss of function of OGDH by the clinically validated drug compound, CPI-613, is synthetically lethal with Bcl-xL inhibition (genetically and through the clinically validated BH3-mimetic, ABT263) in patient-derived xenograft as well neurosphere GBM cultures. CPI-613 mediated energy deprivation drives an integrated stress response with an up-regulation of the BH3-only domain protein, Noxa in an ATF4 dependent manner as demonstrated by genetic loss of function experiments. Consistently, silencing of Noxa rescued from cell death induced by CPI-613 in model systems of GBM. In patient-derived xenograft models of GBM in mice, the combination treatment of ABT263 and CPI613 suppressed tumor growth more potently than each compound on its own. Therefore, combined inhibition of Bcl-xL along with interference of the TCA-cycle might be a novel treatment strategy for GBM.

Transcriptional activity of a T-ALL PDX line following in vitro treatment with idasanutlin, navitoclax (ABT-263), or combination therapy

Project description:T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy with an umet need for improved therapies. We explored the potentially synergic combination of MDM2 inhibition and Bcl-2, Bcl-xL inhibition through cotreatment of T-ALL models with idasanutlin and navitoclax. In order to understand the early transcriptional changes induced by this combination therapy, we performed RNA sequencing on drug treated cells.

Gene expression patterns within cell lines are predictive of chemosensitivity

Project description:We generated RNA's and measured expression of 40000 genes using spotted cDNA microarrays from the fifty nine publicly available cell lines of the NCI Developmental Therapeutics Program's NCI60 studies and an additional set of seven cell lines for which GI50 compound sensitivity data were available. All cell lines were grown to 80% confluence in RPMI 1640 supplemented with phenol red, glutamine (2 mM) and 5% fetal calf serum. This expression data, in conjunction with the compound sensitivity data sets available from the DTP, were used to empirically determine whether gene-compound correlates of a sufficiently high correlation coefficient would have a suitable low false discovery rate to support the use of a correlative approach and these datasets for early discovery approaches for new targeted therapies. A cell type comparison design experiment design type compares cells of different type for example different cell lines. Sixty six cell lines were analysed, with no repetitions. Twelve cell lines were pooled for a common reference.

Transcriptomic changes induced by a new Src Family Kinase Inhibitor and proton radiation in glioblastoma cells

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a central nervous system tumour. The current standard care for GMB is surgical resection, followed by conventional radiotherapy (RT) often combined with daily drug (temozolomide) administration. However, these treatment modalities are not currently curative and the resistance to both chemotherapy and RT plans is the main cause of GBM care failures. In this scenario, proton therapy (PT) could be used as a successful strategy for GBM treatment, being able to regulate the balance between tumour control and the normal tissue tolerance. In addition, new drugs could be used as radiosensitizing agents combined with PT in order to optimize GBM care. In this work we analyzed the GEP of the U87 MG human glioblastoma cell line, after treatment with PT alone or in combination with a new targeted compound, named Si306 (property of Lead Discovery Siena, Siena, Italy). We described GEP induced by both treatments, highlighting for the first time, the cell pathways induced by Si306. Summarizing, our results suggesting this compound as a novel possible candidate to treat GBM in combination with PT.

Transcription profiling of human SCLC cell line set 2

Project description:RNA expression analysis was performed to compare patterns to sensitivity to BCL2 inhibitors (ABT-263). Overexpression of the prosurvival Bcl-2 family members (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1) is commonly associated with tumor maintenance, progression and chemoresistance. We previously reported the discovery of ABT-737, a potent, small molecule Bcl-2 family protein inhibitor. A major limitation of ABT-737 is that it is not orally bioavailable. This may limit its use for chronic single agent treatment and the flexibility to dose in combination with parenteral chemotherapy. Here we report the discovery and biological properties of ABT-263, a potent, orally bioavailable Bad-like BH3 mimetic (KiÃ¢??s of < 1 nM for Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w). The oral bioavailability of ABT-263 in preclinical animal models is 20% - 50%, depending on formulation. ABT-263 disrupts Bcl-2/Bcl-xL interactions with pro-death proteins (e.g., Bim) in cells leading to the initiation of apoptosis within 2 hr post-treatment. In human tumor cells, ABT-263 rapidly induces Bax translocation, cytochrome c release and subsequent programmed cell death. Oral administration of ABT-263 alone induces complete tumor regressions in xenograft models of small cell lung cancer and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In xenograft models of aggressive B-cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma where ABT-263 exhibits modest or no single agent activity, it significantly enhances the efficacy of clinically relevant therapeutic regimens. These data provide the rationale for clinical trials evaluating ABT-263 in SCLC and B-cell malignancies. The oral efficacy of ABT-263 should provide dosing flexibility to maximize clinical utility as both a single agent and in combination with standard chemotherapeutic regimens. Experiment Overall Design: Naive cell lines were isolated in duplicate or triplicate (only a single for H69AR) to determine RNA expression pattern.

Red blood cell BCL-xL is required for Plasmodium falciparum survival: insights into host-directed malaria therapies

Project description:The development of antimalarial drug resistance is an ongoing problem threatening progress towards malaria elimination, and antimalarial treatments are urgently needed for drug-resistant malaria infections. Host-directed therapies (HDT) represent an attractive strategy for the devel-opment of new antimalarials with untapped targets and low propensity for resistance. In addi-tion, drug repurposing in the context of HDT can lead to a substantial decrease in the time and resources required to develop novel antimalarials. Host BCL-XL is a major target in anti-cancer therapy and is essential for the development of numerous intracellular pathogens. We hypothe-sised that red blood cell BCL-XL is essential for Plasmodium development and tested this hypoth-esis by using six BCL-XL inhibitors, including one FDA-approved compound. All BCL-xL inhibitors tested impaired proliferation of P. falciparum 3D7 parasites in vitro at low parasite inhibitory concentrations. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence microscopy assays revealed that host BCL-xL is transferred from the host red blood cells (RBCs) to the parasite upon infection. Further, immunoprecipitation of BCL-XL coupled with mass spectrometry analysis identified that BCL-XL forms unique molecular complexes with human μ-calpain in uninfected RBCs, and with human SHOC2 in infected RBCs. These results open exciting perspectives for the development of host-directed antimalarial therapies and drug repurposing efforts.

Targeted delivery of tumor necrosis factor in combination with lomustine induces a T-cell dependent regression of glioblastoma

Project description:Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor with an unmet need for more effective therapies. Here we report that the combination of L19TNF, an antibody-cytokine fusion protein based on tumor necrosis factor that selectively localizes on the tumor neo-vasculature, with the alkylating agent lomustine, can induce tumor regression in orthotopic glioma-bearing mice and patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Mechanistically, this striking synergy crucially depended on T cells and involved activation of the tumor endothelium, tumor DNA damage, treatment-associated tumor necrosis, increased antigen presentation on MHC class I and tumor immune cell infiltration, as well as decreased tumor-associated immunosuppression. The clinical translation of this approach is ongoing, but already shows durable responses in the first recurrent glioblastoma patient cohort treated with L19TNF in combination with lomustine (NCT04573192).

Modeling Progressive Fibrosis with Pluripotent Stem Cells Identifies an Anti-Fibrotic Small Molecule

Project description:Progressive organ fibrosis accounts for one third of all deaths worldwide, yet preclinical models that mimic the complex, progressive nature of the disease are lacking and hence there are no curative therapies. Progressive fibrosis across organs shares common cellular and molecular pathways involving chronic injury, inflammation, and aberrant repair resulting in deposition of extracellular matrix, organ remodeling and ultimately organ failure. Here we describe the generation and characterization of an in vitro progressive fibrosis model that uses multiple different cell types derived from induced pluripotent stem cells. Our model produces endogenous activated TGF-b and contains activated fibroblastic aggregates that progressively increase in size and stiffness with activation of known fibrotic molecular and cellular changes. We used this model as a phenotypic drug discovery platform for modulators of fibrosis. We validated this platform by identifying a compound that promotes resolution of fibrosis in in vivo and ex vivo models of ocular and lung fibrosis.
