Increased glucose availability sensitizes pancreatic cancer to chemotherapy

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic cancer (Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma; PDAC) is highly resistant to chemotherapy. Effective alternative therapies have yet to emerge, and therefore, chemotherapy remains the best available systematic treatment. The discovery of safe and available adjuncts that can improve chemotherapeutic efficacy could potentially improve survival outcomes. We show that a hyperglycemic state enhances the efficacy of conventional single- and multi-agent chemotherapies against PDAC. Molecular analyses of tumors exposed to relatively high glucose levels revealed that GCLC (catalytic subunit of glutamate-cysteine ligase), a key regulator of a metabolic pathway, glutathione biosynthesis, is diminished and underlies chemo-sensitization. Inhibition to GCLC phenocopied the effect of an induced hyperglycemic state in mouse models of PDAC, while rescuing the pathway abrogated the anti-tumor effects observed with chemotherapy treatment under high glucose conditions.

Increased intra-tumoral glucose level is associated with enhanced chemotherapeutic response in pancreatic cancer

Project description:Pancreatic tumors are refractory to current chemotherapies, and there are no effective alternative therapies available for patients with pancreatic cancer (PC). We present an innovative approach to improve chemotherapy efficacy in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer. The effectiveness of various chemotherapies, including standard of care FOLFIRINOX, was remarkably enhanced by inducing a state of hyperglycemia. This was achieved by either providing animals with a high glucose diet or by a pharmacologic method involving streptozotocin coupled with long-acting insulin. Comprehensive integrative analyses revealed a key metabolic pathway, glutathione biosynthesis, mitigated by the high glucose diet. Combining chemotherapies with either the high glucose diet or an inhibitor of glutathione biosynthesis as a feasible approach caused a significant survival benefit in mice bearing orthotopic pancreatic tumors.

A Phase I/II Study of Ivaltinostat Combined with Gemcitabine and Erlotinib in Patients with Untreated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Project description:Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are currently used as anticancer drugs; however, no clinical trials proved efficacy in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Ivaltinostat, a novel intravenous HDACi, presented cell growth inhibition and improved chemo-sensitivity in PDAC. This phase I/II study demonstrated ivaltinostat with gemcitabine and erlotinib can be administered safely to improve survivals in patients with untreated advanced PDAC. In addition, we proposed potential blood markers to predict response to ivaltinostat treatment based on correlative studies.

Inhibition of the SRC-kinase HCK restricts pancreatic cancer development and metastasis

Project description:Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive disease with a low 5-year survival rate and poor response to therapy. Here, we demonstrate that inhibition of the myeloid-specific SRC family-kinase HCK impairs pancreatic tumor growth and metastasis by enhancing the infiltration of cytotoxic effector cells, stimulating the activation of myeloid cells, and by reducing the desmoplastic microenvironment. Genetic ablation of HCK also maximizes the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and improves progression-free survival in mice. Collectively, our results demonstrate that targeting HCK can overcome barriers that limit responses to therapy, and provide a compelling rationale for HCK to be considered as a drug target to improve the responsiveness of pancreatic tumors to chemotherapy and/or immune checkpoint blockade.

Senescence-induced vascular remodeling creates therapeutic vulnerabilities in pancreas cancer

Project description:KRAS mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by a desmoplastic response that promotes hypovascularity, immunosuppression, and resistance to chemo- and immunotherapies. We show that a combination of MEK and CDK4/6 inhibitors that target KRAS-directed oncogenic signaling can suppress PDAC proliferation through induction of retinoblastoma (RB) protein-mediated senescence. In preclinical mouse models of PDAC, this senescence-inducing therapy produces a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that includes pro-angiogenic factors that promote tumor vascularization, which in turn enhances drug delivery and efficacy of cytotoxic gemcitabine chemotherapy. In addition, SASP-mediated endothelial cell activation stimulates the accumulation of CD8+ T cells into otherwise immunologically “cold” tumors, sensitizing tumors to PD-1 checkpoint blockade. Therefore, in PDAC models, therapy-induced senescence can establish emergent susceptibilities to otherwise ineffective chemo- and immunotherapies through SASP-dependent effects on the tumor vasculature and immune system.

Detection of Chemotherapy-Resistant Pancreatic Cancer Using a Glycan Biomarker

Project description:A subset of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) is highly resistant to systemic chemotherapy, but no markers are available in clinical settings to identify this subset. We found that chemotherapy-resistant PDACs, but not chemotherapy-sensitive PDACs, express a glycan biomarker called sTRA. We confirmed the use of this marker to identify treatment-resistant PDAC in multiple systems: sets of 24 cell lines, 27 organoids, and isogenic cell lines; gene-expression signatures in primary tumors; tissue microarrays containing primary tumors; and blood plasma from cohorts of human subjects. These findings establish the use of tissue or plasma assays to identify the PDACs that are resistant to chemotherapy, which could improve the precision of systemic treatments and facilitate biomarker-guided trials targeting resistant PDAC.

Next generation sequencing of advanced non-castrate prostate cancer treated with docetaxel chemotherapy

Project description:Early chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic non-castration resistant prostate cancer (PCa) may improve overall patient survival. We studied the safety, tolerability and early efficacy of up-front docetaxel chemotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) versus ADT alone for patients with newly-diagnosed advanced/metastatic PCa. As proof of concept, we undertook in vivo gene expression profiling by next generation RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Tumour biposies from 6 patients were taken before and after treatment with combined ADT and docetaxcel for 6 weeks

Effect of glucose availability on microRNA expression and Ago2 occupancy.

Project description:For cells to grow and proliferate both a growth signal and available nutrients are required. Several lines of evidence suggest that there is recriprocal regulation of nutrients by growth signals and growth signals by nutrients. Since microRNAs are regulated by growth signals, we sought to determine if microRNAs could also be regulated by nutrient availability. We found that several microRNAs change expression following glucose starvation and that their Ago2 occupancy remains constant. Immortalized Bax/Bak double-knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts were deprived of glucose for 5 days and then re-fed glucose for 2 days. Cells were collected at the beginning of the starvation period (d0), following five days of glucose deprivation (d5), and following two days of glucose re-feed (d7). Total RNA was isolated from half of the collected cells using Trizol and the remaining cells were used to perform Ago2 immunoprecipitation followed by isolation of bound RNA.

Single-cell sequencing reveals effects of chemotherapy on the immune landscape and TCR/BCR clonal expansion in a relapsed ovarian cancer patient

Project description:Cancer recurrence and chemoresistance are the leading causes of death in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients. However, the unique role of the immune environment in tumor progression for relapsed chemo-resistant patients remains elusive. In single-cell resolution, we characterized a comprehensive multi-dimensional cellular and immunological atlas from tumor, ascites, and peripheral blood of a chemo-resistant patient at different stages of treatment. Our results highlight a role in recurrence and chemoresistance of the immunosuppressive microenvironment in ascites, including MDSC-like myeloid and hypo-metabolic γδT cells, and of peripheral CD8+ effector T cells with chemotherapy-induced senescent/exhaustive. Importantly, paired TCR/BCR sequencing demonstrated relative conservation of TCR clonal expansion in hyper-expanded CD8+ T cells and extensive BCR clonal expansion without usage bias of V(D)J genes after chemotherapy. Thus, our study suggests strategies for ameliorating chemotherapy-induced immune impairment to improve the clinical outcome of HGSOC.

CCN2-MAPK-Id-1 Loop Feedback Amplification is involved in Maintaining Stemness in Oxaliplatin-resistant Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Most patients are at an advanced stage at diagnosis, and are not eligible for curative therapy. Chemotherapy is an alternative treatment for advanced HCCs, but resistance is found in many patients. Understanding the underlying mechanisms in chemo-resistance is critical to further improve the efficacy of HCC treatment. In this study, we found that increased expression of Id-1 and CCN2 were closely related to oxaliplatin resistance in HCC. Upregulation of CCN2 and Id-1 was independently associated with shorter survival and increased recurrence in HCC patients, and significantly enhanced oxaliplatin resistance and promoted lung metastasis in vivo, whereas knock-down of their expression significantly reversed the chemo-resistance and inhibited HCC cell stemness. cDNA microarrays and PCR revealed that Id-1 and MAPK pathway were the downstream signaling of CCN2, and Id-1 could upregulate CCN2 in a positive feedback manner. Moreover, CCN2 significantly enhanced oxaliplatin resistance by activating the MAPK signaling pathway and upregulating Id-1 expression. Meanwhile, MAPK/Id-1 signaling was demonstrated as one of the most important autocrine signaling pathways regulated by CCN2 in oxaliplatin-resistant models, and combination with sorafenib could improve the efficacy of oxaliplatin in HCC. Conclusions: These findings suggest that CCN2-MAPK-Id-1 loop feedback amplification is involved in oxaliplatin-resistant HCC, and the combination of oxaliplatin with inhibitor of CCN2 or MAPK signaling could provide a promising approach to ameliorating HCC progression and oxaliplatin resistance.
