Gemcitabine and ATR inhibitors synergize to kill PDAC cells by blocking DNA damage response

ABSTRACT: The DNA-damaging agent gemcitabine (GEM) is a first-line treatment for pancreatic cancer but chemoresistance is frequently observed. Several clinical trials investigate the efficacy of GEM in combination with targeted drugs including kinase inhibitors but the experimental evidence for such rational is often unclear. Here, we phenotypically screened 13 human pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell lines against GEM in combination with 140 clinical kinase inhibitors and observed strong synergy for the ATR inhibitor Elimusertib in most cell lines. Dose-dependent phosphoproteome profiling of four ATR inhibitors following DNA damage induction by GEM revealed a strong block of the DNA damage response pathway including phosphorylated pS468 of CHEK1 as the underlying mechanism of drug synergy. The current work provides a strong rationale for why the combination of GEM and ATR inhibition may be useful for the treatment of PDAC patients and constitutes a rich phenotypic and molecular resource for further investigating effective drug combinations.

RNA-seq of combinatory treatment of gemcitabine+UVI5008 and gemcitabine+MS275 in human pancreatic adenocarcinoma human cell lines

Project description:Epigenetic modifications could drive some of the molecular events implicated in proliferation, drug resistance and metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Thus, epigenetic enzyme inhibitors could be the key to revert those events and transform PDAC into a drug-sensitive tumor.We have performed a systematic study with two different epigenetic enzyme inhibitors (UVI5008, MS275) targeting either Histone Deacetylase 17 (HDAC) 1 or 1/4, DNA methyltransferase 3a (DNMT3a), Euchromatic histone lysine methyltrans- 18 ferase 2 (EHMT2) or Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), and one drug that restores the p53 function (P53R3), in three 19 different human PDAC cell lines (MIA PaCa-2 and BxPC-3). The synergistic effect of these antitumoral drugs with gemcitabine was tested and the most efficient combinations were characterized by RNA-seq. The combination of UVI5008 or MS275 with gemcitabine induced a synergistic effect at low concentration and the RNA-Seq analysis revealed some synergy candidate genes as potential biomarkers.

ATR inhibition potentiates ionizing radiation-induced interferon response via cytosolic nucleic acid-sensing pathways

Project description:Mechanistic understanding of how ionizing radiation induces type I interferon signaling and how to amplify this signaling module should help to maximize the efficacy of radiotherapy. In the current study, we report that inhibitors of the DNA damage response kinase ATR can significantly potentiate ionizing radiation-induced innate immune responses. Using a series of mammalian knockout cell lines, we demonstrate that, surprisingly, both the cGAS/STING-dependent DNA-sensing pathway and the MAVS-dependent RNA-sensing pathway are responsible for type I interferon signaling induced by ionizing radiation in the presence or absence of ATR inhibitors. The relative contributions of these two pathways in type I interferon signaling depend on cell type and/or genetic background. We propose that DNA damage-elicited double-strand DNA breaks releases DNA fragments, which may either activate the cGAS/STING-dependent pathway or-especially in the case of AT-rich DNA sequences-be transcribed and initiate MAVS-dependent RNA sensing and signaling. Together, our results suggest the involvement of two distinct pathways in type I interferon signaling upon DNA damage. Moreover, radiation plus ATR inhibition may be a promising new combination therapy against cancer.

RNA-seq of pancreatic mouse tumor cell lines

Project description:KRAS-mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is highly immunosuppressive and resistant to targeted therapies, immune checkpoint blockade and engineered T cells. In this study, we performed a systematic high throughput combinatorial drug screen and identified a synergistic interaction between the MEK inhibitor trametinib and the multi-kinase inhibitor nintedanib. Using bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing and immunophenotyping, we show that the combination therapy reprograms the immunosuppressive microenvironment and primes cytotoxic and memory T cells to infiltrate the tumors, thereby sensitizing mesenchymal PDAC to PD-L1 inhibition.

ATR represents a therapeutic vulnerability in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Project description:Metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) are resistant to DNA damaging chemotherapies, limiting therapeutic options for patients whose tumours are resistant to tyrosine kinase inhibitors and/or immune checkpoint therapies. Here we show that mouse and human ccRCC are frequently characterised by high levels of endogenous DNA damage and that cultured ccRCC cells exhibit intact cellular responses to chemotherapy-induced DNA damage. We identify that pharmacological inhibition of the DNA damage sensing kinase ATR with the orally administered, potent and selective drug M4344 induces anti-proliferative effects in ccRCC cells due to replication stress and the accumulation of DNA damage in S phase. In some cells, DNA damage persists into subsequent G2/M and G1 phases, leading to the frequent accumulation of micronuclei. Daily single agent treatment with M4344 inhibited the growth of ccRCC xenograft tumours. M4344 synergises with chemotherapeutic drugs including cisplatin and carboplatin and the PARP inhibitor olaparib in mouse and human ccRCC cells. Weekly M4344 plus cisplatin treatment showed in vivo therapeutic synergy in ccRCC xenografts and was efficacious in an autochthonous mouse ccRCC model. These studies identify ATR inhibition as a potential novel therapeutic option for ccRCC.

Phosphoproteomics informed tailored low-dose drug combination strategies in Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell lines

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a devastating disease with poor prognosis, commonly characterized by aberrant signaling. Phosphoproteomics provides a functional scaffold to unravel these complex signaling networks and to identify new targets. By a two-step sequential phospho-peptide enrichment, we generated the phosphoproteome for 9 PDAC cell lines (2 derived from PDX samples). By using integrative inferred kinase activity (INKA) scoring, we identified hyperactive phosphokinases that were subsequently matched to kinase inhibitors. In the absence of an oncogenic driver, low-dose kinase inhibitor combinations against multiple (parallel) activated kinases, provided higher efficacy as compared to single-drug treatment. Tailored low-dose combination strategies exhibited promising efficacy in vitro and in vivo, which may ultimately improve treatment outcomes in PDAC patients.

RNA microarray of human cervical cancer cell line HeLa treated with imatinib, mitoxantrone or mitoxantrone+imatinib combination against untreated controls

Project description:Critical DNA repair pathways become deranged during cancer development. This vulnerability may be exploited with DNA-targeting chemotherapy. Topoisomerase II inhibitors induce double-strand breaks which are detrimental to the cell, if not repaired. This repair process requires high-fidelity functional homologous recombination or error-prone non-homologous recombination. If either of these pathways is targeted, the compensatory pathway may rescue the cells and induce treatment resistance. c-Abl is a protein tyrosine kinase that is involved in cell differentiation, cell division, cell adhesion, and stress response including DNA damage induced stress. Here we used a low dose topoisomerase II inhibitor mitoxantrone to induce DNA damage and c-Abl kinase inhibitor imatinib in combination and studied the drug effects at transcriptomic level. The microarray data suggests that DNA repair, particularly homologous recombination, is downregulated together with alterations in cell cycle regulation. The data prompted to further validation assays on functional level which are shown in the original publication.

Mechanisms of resistance to oncogenic KRAS inhibition in pancreatic cancer

Project description:KRAS inhibitors demonstrate clinical efficacy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); however, resistance is common. Among patients with KRASG12C-mutant PDAC treated with adagrasib or sotorasib, mutations in PIK3CA and KRAS, and amplifications of KRASG12C, MYC, MET, EGFR, and CDK6 emerged at acquired resistance. In PDAC cell lines and organoid models treated with the KRASG12D inhibitor MRTX1133, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling associate with resistance to therapy. MRTX1133 treatment of the KrasLSL-G12D/+;Trp53LSL-R172H/+;p48-Cre (KPC) mouse model yielded deep tumor regressions, but drug resistance ultimately emerged, accompanied by amplifications of Kras, Yap1, Myc, and Cdk6/Abcb1a/b, and co-evolution of drug-resistant transcriptional programs. Moreover, in KPC and PDX models, mesenchymal and basal-like cell states displayed increased response to KRAS inhibition compared to the classical state. Combination treatment with KRASG12D inhibition and chemotherapy significantly improved tumor control in PDAC mouse models. Collectively, these data elucidate co-evolving resistance mechanisms to KRAS inhibition and support multiple combination therapy strategies.
