Project description:Desmoid tumors (DTs) are rare mesenchymal monoclonal lesions that have a high risk of local recurrence but lack metastatic potential. Since the Notch pathway appears to be important in the carcinogenesis of several tumor types, in the past few years γ-secretase inhibitors (GSIs) have emerged as a potential therapeutic treatment by inhibiting cancer cell Notch signaling through NICD cleavage blockade. To investigate the antitumor effect of PF-03084014, a γ-secretase inhibitor, in DT models, cells treated with PF-03084014 were characterized by gene array analysis. Three cell strains of Desmoid tumors (Desm14, Desm27 and Desm39b) were subjected to either no treatment (control, called G-0) or treatment with 10μM of PF-03084014 (called G-10). The regimen for each treatment was ~8 days and ~30 days; multiple group comparison

Project description:This randomized phase I/II clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 when given together with vismodegib and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma. Vismodegib may slow the growth of tumor cells. Gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vismodegib together with gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may be an effective treatment for sarcoma.

Project description:The NOTCH signaling cascade, which is deregulated in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and many other human cancers, offers an attractive target for molecular therapy. One approach employs gamma-secretase inhibitors (GSIs) to suppress production of the intracellular form of NOTCH (NICD), leading to cell growth arrest and apoptosis. Here we show that missense mutations or homozygous deletion of FBW7, which encodes a ubiquitin ligase that targets the NICD for destruction, mediate constitutive NICD expression. FBW7 mutations target key arginine residues needed for binding to the NICD. Although the mutant forms of Fbw7 still bind to MYC, they do not target MYC for degradation, suggesting that stabilization of both NICD and MYC may contribute to transformation in leukemias with mutations in FBW7. Leukemias with FBW7 mutations are resistant to the growth suppressive and apoptotic effects of the MRK-003 GSI. In some resistant lines that express the NICD, this resistance is accompanied by sustained mRNA levels of the NOTCH target DELTEX1 as well as MYC mRNA and protein, implying that residual NICD activity due to the mutant FBW7 can contribute to GSI resistance.

Project description:T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic cancer frequently associated with activating mutations in NOTCH1. Early studies identified NOTCH1 as an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of T-ALL through the use of gamma-secretase inhibitors (GSIs). Here, we characterized the interaction between PF-03084014, a clinically-relevant GSI, and dexamethasone in preclinical models of glucocorticoid-resistant T-ALL. Combination treatment of the GSI PF-03084014 with glucocorticoids induced a synergistic antileukemic effect in human T-ALL cell lines and primary human T-ALL patient samples. Molecular characterization of the response to PF-03084014 plus glucocorticoids through gene expression profiling revealed transcriptional upregulation of the glucocorticoid receptor as the mechanism mediating the enhanced glucocorticoid response. Moreover, treatment with PF-03084014 and glucocorticoids in combination was highly efficacious in vivo, with enhanced reduction of tumor burden in a xenograft model of T-ALL. Finally, glucocorticoid treatment was highly effective at reversing PF-03084014-induced gastrointestinal toxicity via inhibition of goblet cell metaplasia. These results suggest that combination of PF-03084014 treatment with glucocorticoids may be well-tolerated and highly active for the treatment of glucorticoid-resistant T-ALL. Duplicate samples of the CUTLL1 T-ALL cell line were treated with vehicle only (DMSO), the gamma-secretase inhibitor PF-03084014 (1 microM), dexamethasone (1 microM), or PF-03084014 (1 microM). plus dexamethasone (1 microM) for 48 hours. Gene expression profiling was analyzed to identify gene expression signatures assocuated with glucocorticoid treatment (dexamethasone), inhibition of NOTCH1 by gamma secretase inhibitor (PF-03084014) or the combination of both treatments.

Project description:Gamma-secretase inhibitors (GSIs), which block the activation of NOTCH receptors, are being tested in the treatment of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Thus far, limited antileukemic cytotoxicity and severe gastrointestinal toxicity have restricted the clinical application of these targeted drugs. Here we show that combination therapy with GSIs plus glucocorticoids can improve the antileukemic effects of GSIs and reduce their gut toxicity in vivo. Inhibition of NOTCH1 signaling in glucocorticoid-resistant T-ALL restored glucocorticoid receptor auto-up-regulation and induced apoptotic cell death through induction of BIM expression. Additionally, cotreatment with glucocorticoids induced Ccnd2 upregulation in the gut which protected mice from the intestinal secretory metaplasia typically induced by loss of NOTCH signaling. These results support a role for glucocorticoids plus GSIs in the treatment of glucocorticoid-resistant T-ALL. Keywords: drug treatment in vivo, dibenzazepine DBZ, T-ALL, glucocorticoid

Project description:Glucocorticoids are an essential component of the treatment of lymphoid malignancies and resistance to glucocorticoid therapy constitutes a prominent clinical problem in relapsed and refractory lymphoblastic leukemias. Constitutively active NOTCH signaling is involved in the pathogenesis of over 50% of T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) which harbor activating mutations in the NOTCH1 gene. Aberrant NOTCH1 signaling has been shown to protect normal thymocytes from glucocorticoid induced cell death. Here we analyzed the interaction of glucocorticoid therapy with inhibition of NOTCH signaling in the treatment of T-ALL. Gamma-secretase inhibitors (GSI), which block the activation of NOTCH receptors, amplified the transcriptional changes induced by glucocorticoid treatment, including glucocorticoid receptor autoinduction and restored sensitivity to dexamethasone in glucocorticoid-resistant T-ALL cells. Apoptosis induction upon inhibition of NOTCH signaling and activation of the glucocorticoid receptor was dependent on transcriptional upregulation of BIM and subsequent activation of the mitochondrial/intrinsic cell death pathway. Finally, we used a mouse xenograft model of T-ALL to demonstrate that combined treatment with dexamethasone and a GSI results in improved antileukemic effects in vivo. These studies provide insight in the mechanisms of glucocorticoid resistance and serve as rationale for the use of glucocorticoid and GSIs in combination in the treatment of T-ALL. Experiment Overall Design: Duplicate samples (biologic replicas) from CUTLL1 cells were treated for 24 hours with vehicle only (DMSO), dexamethasone (1microM), a gamma-secretase inhibitor (CompE 100nM) and a combination of dexamethasome plus gamma secretase inhibitor at the same concentrations indicated before. Gene expression profiling was analyzed to identify gene expression signatures assocuated with glucocorticoid treatment (dexamethasone), inhibition of NOTCH1 by gamma secretase inhibitor (CompE) or the combination of both treatments.

Project description:The study deals with the elucidation of potential interaction partners of the intracellular domain of the transmembrane receptor Notch1, termed NICD. The NICD is released from the cytoplasmic tail of the Notch receptor by gamma-secretase treatment and translocated as a transcription factor to the nucleus. Here, virally transduced recombinant NICD constructs (wild-type and deltaEP hyperactive mutant) were employed for AP-MS with the aim of identifying novel NICD interactors in a murine T cell leukemia cell line.

Project description:The intramembrane protease gamma-secretase has broad physiological functions, but also contributes to Notch-dependent tumors and Alzheimer’s disease. To identify naturally short substrates and non-substrates of gamma-secretase, we used four human cell lines of different tissue origins, breast cancer MCF7 cells, cervix carcinoma HeLa cells, T cell leukemia Jurkat cells and lymphoma U937 macrophage-like cells. The cell lines were treated overnight with the established gamma-secretase inhibitor DAPT or DMSO as a control. The proteomes of membrane fractions were determined by nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and label-free quantitative proteomics. TNFRSF12A, PTPRCAP and C16orf54 were identified as potential naturally short gamma-secretase substrates, whereas other proteins with a short ectodomain including ‘pituitary tumor-transforming gene 1-interacting protein’ (PTTG1IP) did not show an increased abundance upon DAPT treatment.

Project description:Notch-targeted gamma-secretase inhibitors (GSIs) exhibited limited efficacy in glioblastoma patients. We identified that farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) increased sensitivity to GSIs in glioblastoma stem cells. To interrogate the mechanisms mediating the interaction between these two classes of compounds, we studied the impact on gene expression profiles by the combination of tipifarnib (FTI) and RO4929097 (GSI). We found that this combination treatment significantly suppressed genes implicated cell cycle progression. Real-time PCR validated the activities of tipifarnib to modulate expression of cell cycle regulators. We also showed that RO4929097 sensitized glioblastoma stem cells to compounds targeting some of these cell cycle regulators, such as AURKB and CDK4/6. These results suggest that regulation of cell cycle progression partially mediates the ability of FTIs to sensitize glioblastoma stem cells to GSIs.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is defined as pathologically negative for estrogen receptor α (ER-), progesterone receptor (PR-), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification. TNBCs are a heterogeneous group of clinically aggressive tumors with high risk of recurrence and metastasis. Current pharmacological treatment options remain largely limited to chemotherapy, recently supplemented by immunotherapy [37296893]. There is strong evidence supporting the involvement of Notch signaling in TNBC progression. Expression of Notch1 and its ligand Jagged1 correlate with poor prognosis. Notch inhibitors, including gamma secretase inhibitors (GSIs), are quite effective in preclinical models of TNBC. However, the success of GSIs in clinical trials has been limited by their intestinal toxicity and potential for adverse immunological effects, since Notch plays key roles in T-cell activation, including CD8 T-cells in tumors. Our overarching goal is to replace GSIs with agents that lack their systemic toxicity and ideally, do not affect tumor immunity. We identified sulindac sulfide (SS), the active metabolite of FDA-approved NSAID sulindac, as a potential candidate to replace GSIs. We confirmed that SS, a known gamma secretase modulator (GSM), inhibits Notch1 cleavage in TNBC cells. SS significantly inhibited mammosphere growth in all human and murine TNBC models tested. In a transplantable mouse TNBC tumor model (C0321), SS had remarkable single-agent anti-tumor activity and eliminated Notch1 protein expression in tumors. Importantly, the anti-tumor effects of SS were significantly enhanced when combined with α-PD1 immunotherapy in our TNBC organoids and in vivo. Our data support further investigation of SS for the treatment of TNBC, in conjunction with standard of care chemo- or -chemo-immunotherapy. Repurposing an FDA-approved, safe agent for the treatment of TNBC may be a cost-effective, rapidly deployable therapeutic option solution for a patient population in need of effective therapies.
