Project description:In the present work we propose a new therapy for NRAS mutant melanoma. Simultaneous inhibition of MEK and ROCK caused induction of BimEL , PARP, and Puma, and hence apoptosis. In vivo, MEK and ROCK inhibition suppressed growth of established tumors. Our findings warrant clinical investigation of the effectiveness of combinatorial targeting of MAPK/ERK and ROCK in NRAS mutant melanoma.

Project description:NRAS-mutant melanoma is currently a challenge to treat. This is due to an absence of inhibitors directed against NRAS, along with acquired and adaptive resistance of this tumor type to inhibitors in the MAPK pathway. Inhibitors to MEK (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase) have shown some promise for this tumor type. In this work we explored the use of MEK inhibitors for NRAS-mutant melanoma, and at the same time investigated the impact of the brain micro-environment, specifically astrocytes, on the response of a melanoma brain metastatic cell line to MEK inhibition. This led to the surprising finding that astrocytes enhance the sensitivity of melanoma tumors to MEK inhibitors (MEKi). We show that MEKi cause an upregulation of the transcription factor ID3, but this is blocked by conditioned media from astrocytes. We show that silencing ID3 enhances the sensitivity of melanoma to MEK inhibitors, thus mimicking the effect of the brain microenvironment. Moreover, we report that ID3 is a client protein of the chaperone HSP70, and that HSP70 inhibition causes ID3 to misfold and accumulate in a detergent-insoluble fraction in cells. We show that HSP70 inhibitors synergize with MEK inhibitors against NRAS-mutant melanoma, and that this combination significantly enhances the survival of mice in two different models of NRAS-mutant melanoma. These studies highlight ID3 as a mediator of adaptive resistance, and support the combined use of MEK and HSP70 inhibitors for the therapy of NRAS-mutant melanoma.

Project description:Inhibitors of the MAPKs, BRAF and MEK, induce tumor regression in the majority of patients with BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma. The clinical benefit of MAPK inhibitors is restricted by the development of acquired resistance with half of those who benefit having progressed by 6-7 months and long-term responders uncommon. There remains no agreed treatment strategy on disease progression in these patients. Without published evidence, fears of accelerated disease progression on inhibitor withdrawal have led to the continuation of drugs beyond formal disease progression. We now demonstrate that treatment with MAPK inhibitors beyond disease progression can provide significant clinical benefit, and the withdrawal of these inhibitors led to a marked increase in the rate of disease progression in two patients. We also show that MAPK inhibitors retain partial activity in acquired resistant melanoma by examining drug-resistant clones generated to dabrafenib, trametinib or the combination of these drugs. All resistant sublines displayed a markedly slower rate of proliferation when exposed to MAPK inhibitors, and this coincided with a reduction in MAPK signalling, decrease in BrdU incorporation and S-phase inhibition. This cytostatic effect was also associated diminished levels of cyclin D1 and p-pRb.. Two short-term melanoma cultures generated from resistant tumour biopsies also responded to MAPK inhibition with comparable inhibitory changes in proliferation and MAPK signalling. These data provide a rationale for the continuation of BRAF and MEK inhibitors after disease progression and support the development of clinical trials to examine this strategy.

Project description:We developed an isogenic melanocytic cellular system and systematically examined the hotspot mutations in GNAQ (e.g., G48V, R183Q, Q209L) and CYSLTR2 (e.g. L129Q) in human uveal melanoma. Biochemical and cell viability assays validated YM-254890 as a potent inhibitor of cell signaling and growth. Human uveal melanoma cells and mouse models recapitulated this finding, indicating that YM is also effective in vivo. Combination of YM and MEK inhibition leads to further decreases in MAPK pathway gene expression and cell viability. Furthermore, our cellular and mouse models show that combination leads to long term signaling inhibition and significant decreases in tumor burden.

Project description:Purpose: The clinical use of MEK inhibitors in uveal melanoma is limited by the rapid acquisition of resistance. The current study has used multi-omics approaches and drug screens to identify the pan-HDAC inhibitor panobinostat as an effective strategy to limit MEK inhibitor resistance. Experimental Design: Mass spectrometry-based proteomics and RNA-Seq was used to identify the signaling pathways involved in the escape of uveal melanoma cells from MEK inhibitor therapy. Mechanistic studies were performed to evaluate the escape pathways identified and the efficacy of the MEK-HDAC inhibitor combination was demonstrated in multiple in vivo xenograft models of uveal melanoma. Results: We identified a number of putative escape pathways that were upregulated following MEK inhibition including the PI3K/AKT pathway, ROR1/2 and IGF1R signaling. MEK inhibition was also associated with a widespread increase in GPCR expression, particularly the Endothelin B receptor and that this contributed to therapeutic escape through YAP signaling. A screen of 289 clinical grade compounds identified HDAC inhibitors as potential candidates that suppressed the adaptive YAP and AKT signaling that followed MEK inhibition. In vivo xenograft studies revealed the MEK-HDAC inhibitor combination to outperform either agent alone, leading to a long-term decrease of tumor growth and the suppression of adaptive PI3K/AKT and YAP signaling. Conclusions Together our studies have identified GPCR-mediated YAP activation and RTK-driven AKT signaling as key pathways involved in the escape of uveal melanoma cells from MEK inhibition. We further demonstrate that HDAC inhibition is a promising combination partner for MEK inhibitors in uveal melanoma.
