Project description:Constitutive MET signaling promotes invasiveness in primary and recurrent GBM; however, current MET-targeting strategies lack of effective biomarkers for selecting suitable patients for treatment. Here, we identified a predictive signature potentially valuable for indicating vulnerability to MET-targeted therapy in GBM. The use of both human and mouse gene expression microarrays showed that MET inhibitors regulate tumor (human) and host (mouse) cells within the tumor via distinct molecular processes, but overall they impede tumor growth by inhibiting cell cycle progression. Notably, GBM tumors with EGFRamp that showed resistance to erlotinib treatment also showed activation of the MET pathway, suggesting that a combination of EGFR and MET inhibitors may overcome or prevent such resistance in patients with EGFRamp GBM. GBM cell lines (DBM2, U251M2, U87M2, U118, and SF295) were treated for 7 days with either vehicle (n=14) or V-4084 (n=14) (i.e. SF295 + vehicle (n=2), SF295 + V-4084 (n=2), U118 + vehicle (n=3), U118 + V-4084 (n=3), U87M2 + vehicle (n=3), U87M2 + V-4084 (n=3), DBM2 + vehicle (n=3), DBM2 + V-4084 (n=3), U251M2 + vehicle (n=3), U251M2 + V-4084 (n=3)). GBM cell lines (DBM2, U251M2, U87M2, U118, and SF295) were subcutaneously inoculated into the flank region of nude mice to initiate tumor growth. Subsequently mice were treated for 7 days with either vehicle (n=14) or V-4084 (n=14) (i.e. SF295 + vehicle (n=2), SF295 + V-4084 (n=3), U118 + vehicle (n=3), U118 + V-4084 (n=3), U87M2 + vehicle (n=3), U87M2 + V-4084 (n=3), DBM2 + vehicle (n=3), DBM2 + V-4084 (n=3), U251M2 + vehicle (n=3), U251M2 + V-4084 (n=2)).

Project description:The non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line HCC827 harbors an activating EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletion) that confers sensitivity to the FDA-approved EGFR inhibitor erlotinib. By applying the ClonTracer barcoding system, we were able to show the presence of pre-existing sub-populations in HCC827 that contribute to erlotinib resistance. Prior studies implicated that MET amplification confers resistance to erlotinib in this cell line. Therefore we examined the effects of the c-Met inhibitor crizotinib on the barcoded HCC827 population when treated either sequentially or simultaneously with both inhibitors. Despite the significant reduction in barcode complexity, the erlotinib/crizotinib combination treatment failed to eradicate all of the resistant clones implying the presence of an erlotinib/crizotinib dual resistant subpopulation. We performed transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to elucidate the potential resistance mechanisms of the dual resistant subpopulation in comparison to vehicle-treated or single agent erlotinib-resistant HCC827 cell populations as controls. mRNA profiling of the subpopulations of human NSCLC cell line HCC827 that contribute to EGFR inhibitor erlotinib and MET inhibitor crizotinib resistance

Project description:Acquired resistance (AR) is a major hurdle in lung cancer treatment and it is an important drawback in tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)-based therapeutics. In this context, it is important to unravel the molecular determinants underlying this phenomenon. Our results show molecularly different clones arising during AR to the MET-TKI, many of them involving sensitivity to erlotinib, which supports the known biological crosstalk between MET and the HER-family of receptors. We have also identified inactivation of NF2 in one of the erlotinib-resistant clones. Collectively our findings evidence that AR promote the expansion of multiple subclonal populations with distinct genetic and molecular characteristics highlighting the importance of considering combinatorial therapeutics when designing strategies for second-line treatments in TKI-treated lung cancer patients.

Mathematical analysis of gefitinib resistance of lung adenocarcinoma caused by MET amplification
Abstract:
Gefitinib, one of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), is effective for treating lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR mutation; but later, most cases acquire a resistance to gefitinib. One of the mechanisms conferring gefitinib resistance to lung adenocarcinoma is the amplification of the MET gene, which is observed in 5–22% of gefitinib-resistant tumors. A previous study suggested that MET amplification could cause gefitinib resistance by driving ErbB3-dependent activation of the PI3K pathway. In this study, we built a mathematical model of gefitinib resistance caused by MET amplification using lung adenocarcinoma HCC827-GR (gefitinib resistant) cells. The molecular reactions involved in gefitinib resistance consisted of dimerization and phosphorylation of three molecules, EGFR, ErbB3, and MET were described by a series of ordinary differential equations. To perform a computer simulation, we quantified each molecule on the cell surface using flow cytometry and estimated unknown parameters by dimensional analysis. Our simulation showed that the number of active ErbB3 molecules is around a hundred-fold smaller than that of active MET molecules. Limited contribution of ErbB3 in gefitinib resistance by MET amplification is also demonstrated using HCC827-GR cells in culture experiments. Our mathematical model provides a quantitative understanding of the molecular reactions underlying drug resistance.

Project description:MET amplification is present in 20% of gastric cancers and has been confirmed as a therapeutic target in clinical trials. The molecular mechanisms of response and resistance to MET inhibitors are not well understood. We investigated the determinants of MET dependency in human gastric cancer. MET inhibition inhibited proliferation and induced cell death only in MET-amplified gastric cancer cell lines. The effects on growth arrest were stronger than the effects on cell death. To identify possible resistance mechanisms, we performed whole-genome mRNA expression profiling. Molecular changes related to autophagy were among the top alterations observed. Consistent with these findings, autophagy levels increased in a concentration-dependent manner when MET-amplified cells were exposed to crizotinib. Autophagy inhibition caused a dramatic decrease in apoptosis in one of the MET-amplified cell lines (MKN45) but not in the other (SNU-5). Because autophagy may provide energy in cells subjected to growth factor deprivation, we explored the effects of MET or autophagy inhibition on cellular ATP levels. This revealed that autophagy-dependent ATP production was selectively required for apoptosis in the MKN45 cells and that chemical ATP depletion mimicked the effects of autophagy inhibition to block cell death. Overall, the data reveal a novel relationship between ATP depletion and resistance to MET inhibitor-induced cell death. Our observations suggest that autophagy inhibitors could have unintended consequences when they are combined with growth factor receptor inhibitors in tumors that require autophagy-dependent ATP production for apoptosis. 12 samples triplicate samples of SNU-5 and MKN45 +/- criztonib for 24 hours

Project description:Therapeutic resistance to VEGFR signaling inhibitors is a major obstacle in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We investigated the contribution of stromal and tumor cells to resistance of NSCLC to VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Gene expression analysis of stromal (mouse) and tumor (human) compartments enabled us to identify the HGF/c-MET pathway as a driver and a potential biomarker of VEGFR TKI resistance.

Project description:Resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) presents a growing challenge in the development of therapeutic targets for cancers such as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), where conventional therapies are ineffective for combatting systemic disease. Due to increased expression, the receptor tyrosine kinases EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and c-Met are potential targets for treatment. However, targeted anti-EGFR and anti-c-Met therapies have faced mixed results in clinical trials due to acquired resistance. We hypothesize that the upregulation of kinases within the EGFR and c-Met signaling axes contribute to the development of acquired erlotinib and cabozantinib resistance. To test this, we developed two separate models for cabozantinib and erlotinib resistance using the MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cell lines, respectively. With a SILAC (Stable Isotope Labeling of Amino acids in Cell Cul-ture)-labeled quantitative mass spectrometry proteomics approach, we assessed the effects of erlotinib- or cabozantinib resistance on the phosphoproteome, proteome and kinome. Using this integrated proteomics approach, we identified several potential kinase mediators of cabozan-tinib-resistance and confirmed the contribution of AKT1 to erlotinib-resistance in TNBC resistant cell lines.

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations have shown a dramatic response to EGFR inhibitors (EGFR-TKI). EGFR T790M mutation and MET amplification have been recognized as major mechanisms of acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI. Therefore, MET inhibitors have recently been used in NSCLC patients in clinical trials. In this study, we tried to identify the mechanism of acquired resistance to MET inhibitor. We analyzed the antitumor effects of two MET inhibitors, PHA-665752 and crizotinib, in 10 NSCLC cell lines. EBC1 cells with MET amplification were the only cells that were sensitive to both MET inhibitors. We established PHA-665752-resistant EBC1 cells, namely EBC1-R cells. EBC1-R cells showed overexpression of ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1) as well as phosphorylation of MET. EBC1-R cells grew as cell spheres that exhibited cancer stem cell-like (CSC) properties and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). The levels of two miRNAs, miR-374a and miR-138 which targeted ABCB1, were decreased in EBC1-R cells. ABCB1 siRNA and ABCB1 inhibitor elacridar could reduce sphere numbers and suppress EMT. Elacridar could also reverse the resistance to PHA-665752 in EBC1-R cells. Our study demonstrated that ABCB1 overexpression which was associated with CSC properties and EMT was involved in the acquired resistance to MET inhibitor. Inhibition of ABCB1 might be a novel therapeutic strategy for NSCLC patients with acquired resistance to MET inhibitor.

Project description:Activating mutations of EGFR have been characterized as important mechanisms for carcinogenesis in a subset of EGFR-dependent non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), such as erlotinib and gefitinib, have dramatic clinical effects on EGFR-addicted lung cancers and are used as first-line therapy for EGFR-mutant tumors. However, eventually all tumors acquire secondary resistance to the drugs and progress. We established a model to better understand mechanisms of acquired resistance. NCI- HCC827 cells are EGFR-mutant and highly erlotinib-sensitive. In this study we exposed HCC827 cells to increasing concentrations of erlotinib and two highly erlotinib-resistant subclones were developed (ER3 and T15-2). In these subclones no acquired alterations of EGFR or MET were found. We hereby performed a gene expression microarray studies to understand changes that might explain mechanisms of resistance. Through these studies we demonstrated in one resistant clone (ER3) overexpression of AXL, a tyrosine kinase implicated in imatinib and lapatinib resistance. Gene expression profilings were measured in NSCLC cell line HCC827 and two erlotinib-resistant HCC827-originated sublines ER3 and T15-2.
