B-Raf inhibitors induce epithelial differentiation in BRAF mutant colorectal cancer cells

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the BRAF proto-oncogene, which encodes the B-Raf kinase, are associated with more aggressive, less-differentiated and therapy-resistant colorectal cancers (CRC). However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for these correlations remain unknown. Here, we report the characterization of human isogenic CRC cell line models (Caco-2, HT29, Colo-205) in which we modulate the expression of the B-RafV600E oncoprotein either by conditional cDNA or shRNA expression. Using these models in conventional and three dimensional tissue culture systems, we demonstrate that genetic depletion of endogenous B-RafV600E decreases cellular motility and invasion, while it induces hallmarks of differentiated epithelia such as the formation of functional adherens and tight junctions. Importantly, these effects are recapitulated by exposing these lines to B-Raf (PLX4720, vemurafenib, dabrafenib) or MEK inhibitors (trametinib). Furthermore, loss of endogenous B-RafV600E in HT29 xenografts does not only stall tumor growth, but also induces epithelial structures with marked expression of Cdx-2, a prognostic marker and master regulator of intestinal morphogenesis. By performing the first transcriptome profiles of B-Raf inhibitor treated 3D cultures of a primary adenocarcinoma and a metastasis derived CRC cell line, we establish functional links between B-RafV600E and proteins of known and potentially new prognostic relevance. We propose that B-Raf/MEK/ERK pathway inhibitors could be used to induce CRC differentiation and thereby to limit metastatic disease.

We propose that B-Raf/MEK/ERK pathway inhibitors could be used to induce CRC differentiation and thereby to limit metastatic disease. To measure the time resolved gene responses, RNA was isolated from PLX4720 or DMSO treated Colo-205 and HT29 3D culture cell lysates at days 1,3 and 10 and days 1,3, and 8, respectively. The time points for HT29 cells were taken in biological duplicates.

Trametinib + HDM201 in CRC Patients With RAS/RAF Mutant and TP53 Wild-type Advanced/Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Mutant and TP53 Wild-type

Project description:Recent preclinical studies suggest that combining MEK and MDM2 inhibition synergize to induce apoptosis in RAS/BRAF-mutant and TP53 wild-type CRC models. In vitro, in RKO cell lines (poorly differentiated colon carcinoma cell line resistant to single agent targeting MDM2 and MEK and BRAF inhibition), the MDM2 plus MEK inhibitor combination generated a synergistic increase in apoptotic index. In vivo, in mice harboring human RKO colon tumor xenografts the combination of MDM2 plus MEK inhibition elicited 93% decreases in tumor volume. This trial is to conduct a single-center, Phase 1 dose escalation study of trametinib combined with HDM201 (a HDM2 inhibitor) in patients with advanced/metastatic RAS/RAF mutant and TP53 wt CRC.

Expression data of colon cancer COLO320DM cells and tankyrase inhibitor-resistant variant 320-IWR cells

Project description:Wnt/β-catenin signaling is activated in colorectal cancer (CRC) and is involved in CRC growth. Tankyrase, a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase family member, destabilizes Axin and positively regulates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Tankyrase inhibitors efficiently suppress CRC cell proliferation. We established 320-IWR cells, which showed resistance to tankyrase inhibitor IWR-1, from human CRC COLO-320DM cells. We analyzed gene expression profile of 320-IWR cells (320IWR_1,_2) and parental COLO-320DM cells (COLO320_1,_2).

Durable Suppression of Acquired MEK Inhibitor Resistance in Cancer by Sequestering MEK from ERK and Promoting Anti-Tumor T-cell Immunity [RNA-seq]

Project description:Disruption of the MAPK pathway in cancer by kinase inhibition often fails due to pathway reactivation, causing clinical relapse. Among MAPK inhibitors, type I RAF inhibitors are only active against specific BRAF mutants; MEK inhibitor monotherapy is associated with limited clinical benefits but may serve as a foundation for combinatorial therapy. Here, we show that type II RAF plus allosteric MEK inhibitors durably blunt the development of acquired MEK inhibitor resistance among cancers with KRAS, NRAS, NF1, BRAFnon-V600 and BRAFV600 mutations, when compared to a combination of type II RAF plus ERK inhibitors. Type II RAF and MEK (versus ERK) inhibitors also display superior capacity to sequester MEK in RAF complexes and uncouple MEK and ERK interaction in acquired resistant tumor subpopulations. Systemically and intratumorally, type II RAF plus MEK inhibitors expand memory and activated/exhausted CD8+ T-cells. Whereas trametinib alone temporally reduces dominant intra-tumoral T-cell clones, type II RAF inhibitor co-treatment reverses this effect and promotes T-cell clonotypic expansion and convergence. Importantly, durably control of tumors by this combination requires CD8+ T-cells. Thus, the prolonged anti-tumor efficacy of type II RAF plus MEK inhibitors reveals exquisite MAPK addiction in common lethal cancer histologies, and the mechanisms include unexpected allosteric perturbation of the MAPK pathway and engagement of anti-tumor CD8+ T-cell immunity.
