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.

Project description:The RAF family kinases function in the RAS-ERK pathway to transmit signals from activated RAS to the downstream kinases MEK and ERK. This pathway regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival enabling mutations in RAS and RAF to act as potent drivers of human cancers. Drugs targeting the prevalent oncogenic mutant BRAFV600E have shown great efficacy in the clinic but long-term effectiveness is limited by resistance mechanisms that often exploit the dimerization-dependent process by which RAF kinases are activated. Here, we investigated a proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) approach to BRAF inhibition. The most effective PROTAC termed P4B displayed superior specificity and inhibitory properties relative to non-PROTAC controls in BRAFV600E cell lines. In addition, P4B displayed utility in two cell lines harboring alternate BRAF mutations that impart resistance to conventional BRAF inhibitors. This work provides a rationale for optimizing the drug-like properties of P4B to enable proof of concept studies in vivo.

Project description:RAF kinases play major roles in cancer. BRAFV600E mutants drive ~6% of human cancers. Potent kinase inhibitors exist but show variable effects in different cancer types, sometimes even inducing paradoxical RAF kinase activation. Both paradoxical activation and drug resistance are frequently due to enhanced dimerization between RAF1 and BRAF, which maintains or restores the activity of the downstream MEK-ERK pathway. Here, using quantitative proteomics we mapped the interactomes of RAF1 monomers, RAF1-BRAF and RAF1-BRAFV600E dimers identifying and quantifying >1,000 proteins. In addition, we examined the effects of vemurafenib and sorafenib, two different types of clinically used RAF inhibitors. Using regression analysis to compare different conditions we found a large overlapping core interactome but also distinct condition specific differences. Given that RAF proteins have kinase independent functions such dynamic interactome changes could contribute to their functional diversification. Analysing this dataset may provide a deeper understanding of RAF signalling and mechanisms of resistance to RAF inhibitors.

Project description:BRAF, one of three RAF serine/threonine kinases (ARAF, BRAF and CRAF), plays a major role in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, which mediates cellular responses to growth signals. Recently a high frequency (~60%-70%) of activating BRAF mutations (predominantly V600E) has been reported in malignant melanoma. In order to identify the downstream effects of BRAF signaling on melanoma cell growth and gene expression, cDNA microarray analysis was carried out following BRAF siRNA or MEK1/2 inhibitor (U0126) treatment.

Project description:Melanoma is one of the most aggressive types of skin cancer and is often characterized by a constitutively activate RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway. For targeted therapy, BRAF inhibitors are available that are powerful in the beginning but resistance occurs rather fast. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of resistance is urgently needed to increase the success of the treatment. Here, we observed that in targeted therapy resistant, melanoma-derived induced pluripotent cancer cells (iPCCs) SOX2 and CD24 are upregulated. It is known that both SOX2 and CD24 expression promote an undifferentiated and cancer stem cell like phenotype, which is associated with higher therapy resistance. We therefore elucidated the role of SOX2 and CD24 in targeted therapy resistance in more detail. We found that SOX2 and CD24 are upregulated upon BRAF inhibitor treatment and that SOX2 is able to upregulate the expression of CD24 by binding to the CD24 promoter. Furthermore, we show that SOX2 or CD24 overexpression significantly increase the resistance towards BRAF inhibitors, while SOX2 knock-down rendered cell sensitive towards treatment. Moreover, CD24 and SOX2 are able to upregulate Src and STAT3 activity which could contribute to the increased resistance. Importantly, CD24 knockdown or Src inhibition in resistant SOX2 overexpressing cells, the sensitivity towards BRAF inhibitors was re-established. Hence, we suggest a novel mechanism of adaptive resistance whereby BRAF inhibition is circumvented via the upregulation of CD24 by SOX2 resulting in increased activity of Scr and STAT3. Thus, to prevent adaptive resistance it might be beneficial to use Src or STAT3 inhibitors together with MAPK pathway inhibitors.

Project description:Eradicating tumor dormancy that develops following oncogene-targeted therapy, including after epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment of EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), is an attractive therapeutic strategy but the mechanisms governing the establishment of tumor dormancy are poorly understood. We observe that blockade of ERK1/2 reactivation following EGFR TKI treatment by combined EGFR/MEK inhibition uncovers cells that survive by entering a senescence-like dormant state, characterized by extensive epigenetic remodeling and high YAP/TEAD activity. YAP/TEAD trigger an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program and engage the EMT transcription factor SLUG to directly repress pro-apoptotic BMF, limiting drug-induced apoptosis. Pharmacological co-inhibition of YAP or TEAD, or genetic deletion of YAP1, all deplete dormant cells by enhancing EGFR/MEK induced apoptosis. Thus, YAP activation can promote the survival of EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells in the chronic absence of EGFR signaling. Eradicating this population enhances the efficacy of targeted therapies which could ultimately lead to prolonged treatment responses in cancer patients.

Project description:We integrate experimental data and mathematical modelling to unveil how ERK signal duration is relayed to mRNA dynamics. HEK293 cells were transfected with an inducible form of RAF (âRAF1:ER) and induced with tamoxifen (4OHT) or stimulated with different growth factors (EGF, FGF, iGF). Effects of RAF signalling were perturbed subsequently or in parallel with MEK inhibtor U0126, translation inhibtor cycloheximide (CYHX) and actinomycin D (ActD).
