Project description:Mutation or deletion of Neurofibromin (NF1), an inhibitor of RAS signaling, frequently occurs in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), supporting therapies that target downstream RAS effectors, such as the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway. However, no comprehensive studies have been carried out testing the efficacy of MEK inhibition in NF1-deficient EOC. Here, we performed a detailed characterization of MEK inhibition in NF1-deficient EOC cell lines using kinome profiling and RNA sequencing. Our studies showed MEK inhibitors were ineffective at providing durable growth inhibition in NF1-deficient cells due to kinome reprogramming. MEKi-mediated destabilization of FOSL1 resulted in induced expression of RTKs and their downstream RAF and PI3K signaling overcoming MEKi therapy. MEKi synthetic enhancement screens identified BRD2 and BRD4 as integral mediators of the MEKi-induced RTK signatures. Inhibition of BET proteins using BET bromodomain inhibitors (BETi) blocked MEKi-induced RTK reprogramming, indicating BRD2 and BRD4 represent promising therapeutic targets in combination with MEKi to block resistance due to kinome reprogramming in NF1-deficient EOC.

Project description:Small molecule BET bromodomain inhibitors (BETi) are actively being pursued in clinical trials for the treatment of a variety of cancers, however, the mechanisms of resistance to targeted BET protein inhibitors remain poorly understood. Using a novel mass spectrometry approach that globally measures kinase signaling at the proteomic level, we evaluated the response of the kinome to targeted BET inhibitor treatment in a panel of BRD4-dependent ovarian carcinoma (OC) cell lines. Despite initial inhibitory effects of BETi, OC cells acquired resistance following sustained treatment with the BETi, JQ1. Through application of Multiplexed Inhibitor Beads (MIBs) and mass spectrometry, we demonstrate that BETi resistance is mediated by adaptive kinome reprogramming, where activation of compensatory pro-survival kinase networks overcomes BET protein inhibition. Furthermore, drug combinations blocking these kinases may prevent or delay the development of drug resistance and enhance the efficacy of BET inhibitor therapy. RNAseq was employed to identify changes in kinase RNA expression following short term (48h) or chronic (JQ1R) JQ1 treatment in three different ovarian cancer cell lines.

Project description:Mutation or deletion of Neurofibromin 1 (NF1), an inhibitor of RAS signaling, frequently occurs in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), supporting therapies that target downstream RAS effectors, such as the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway. However, no comprehensive studies have been carried out testing the efficacy of MEK inhibition in NF1-deficient EOC. Here, we performed a detailed characterization of MEK inhibition in NF1-deficient EOC cell lines using kinome profiling and RNA sequencing. Our studies showed MEK inhibitors (MEKi) were ineffective at providing durable growth inhibition in NF1-deficient cells due to kinome reprogramming. MEKi-mediated destabilization of FOSL1 resulted in induced expression of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) and their downstream RAF and PI3K signaling, thus overcoming MEKi therapy. MEKi synthetic enhancement screens identified BRD2 and BRD4 as integral mediators of the MEKi-induced RTK signatures. Inhibition of bromo and extra terminal (BET) proteins using BET bromodomain inhibitors blocked MEKi-induced RTK reprogramming, indicating that BRD2 and BRD4 represent promising therapeutic targets in combination with MEKi to block resistance due to kinome reprogramming in NF1-deficient EOC. IMPLICATIONS: Our findings suggest MEK inhibitors will likely not be effective as single-agent therapies in NF1-deficient EOC due to kinome reprogramming. Cotargeting BET proteins in combination with MEKis to block reprogramming at the transcriptional level may provide an epigenetic strategy to overcome MEKi resistance in NF1-deficient EOC.

Project description:Effective therapies for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have been largely elusive. Prior proteogenomic studies of PDAC have been limited to bulk samples limiting the ability to define tumor-intrinsic targets and understanding tumor heterogeneity. Here, we perform Multiplexed kinase Inhibitor Beads and Mass Spectrometry (MIB-MS) on 102 patient derived xenografts (PDX) derived from 14 unique primary PDAC to define the tumor-intrinsic kinome landscape. Our findings uncover three kinome subgroups making up two dominant tumor-intrinsic kinome subtypes that we call kinotypes. The kinotypes show enrichment of different kinase classes and explain the biological differences in previously described molecular subtypes, basal-like and classical. The kinotype characterizing basal-like tumors shows enrichment of receptor tyrosine kinases, whereas the kinotype characterizing classical tumors is enriched in understudied kinases involved in Wnt signaling and immune pathways. We validate our findings in two clinical trials and show that only patients with basal-like kinotype tumors, who are thought to be refractory to chemotherapy, derive significant benefit from EGFR inhibitors. Our results provide a comprehensive tumor-intrinsic kinome landscape of PDAC that strongly supports actionable kinotype specific kinase targets, potential for sensitive quantitation of patient samples, and provides a roadmap for the use of kinase inhibitors for the treatment of PDAC.

Project description:Nearly 30% of all malignant melanomas harbor somatic mutations in NRAS. However, there are currently no effective targeted therapies for this tumor type. The bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) family of proteins are transcriptional regulators that serve as scaffolds to facilitate gene transcription by binding to acetylated lysine residues in the N-terminal tail of histones. BET/BRD proteins have emerged as therapeutic targets in a broad range of tumors. We found that BET proteins are overexpressed in NRAS mutant melanoma, and that high levels of BET family member BRD4 are associated with poor patient survival, suggesting that BRD4 plays a key role in melanoma. Consequently, we hypothesized that these epigenetic regulators constitute potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited for melanoma treatment. We found that genetic or pharmacological inhibition of BET/BRD proteins decreases viability and inhibits proliferation of NRAS mutant melanoma cells, as well as BRAF/MEK-inhibitor resistant melanoma cells harboring concurrent BRAF/NRAS mutations. However, BET inhibitors when used as single agents were either cytostatic (in vitro) or ineffective (in vivo). We therefore evaluated combinations that could maximize the efficacy of BET inhibitors in NRAS mutant melanoma. Here we report that co-targeting BET and MEK synergistically restrained tumor growth and significantly prolonged the survival of NRAS-mutant tumor bearing mice. RNA-sequencing and RPPA analysis revealed that co-treatment with BETi/MEKi synergistically downregulated cell cycle regulators and activated caspase-7. This study demonstrates that combined BET and MEK inhibition elicits robust synergistic therapeutic effects and supports the clinical utility of this combination therapy for NRAS mutant melanoma patients.

Project description:Following the discovery of BRD4 as a non-oncogene addiction target in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), BET inhibitors are being explored as promising therapeutic avenue in numerous cancers. While clinical trials have reported single-agent activity in advanced hematologic malignancies, mechanisms determining the response to BET inhibition remain poorly understood. To identify factors involved in primary and acquired BET resistance in leukemia, we performed a chromatin-focused shRNAmir screen in a sensitive MLL/AF9; NrasG12D‑driven AML model, and investigated dynamic transcriptional profiles in sensitive and resistant murine and human leukemias. Our screen reveals that suppression of the PRC2 complex, contrary to effects in other contexts, promotes BET resistance in AML. PRC2 suppression does not directly affect the regulation of Brd4-dependent transcripts, but facilitates the remodeling of regulatory pathways that restore the transcription of key targets such as Myc. Similarly, while BET inhibition triggers acute MYC repression in human leukemias regardless of their sensitivity, resistant leukemias are uniformly characterized by their ability to rapidly restore MYC transcription. This process involves the activation and recruitment of WNT signaling components, which compensate for the loss of BRD4 and drive resistance in various cancer models. Dynamic ChIP- and STARR-seq enhancer profiles reveal that BET-resistant states are characterized by remodeled regulatory landscapes, involving the activation of a focal MYC enhancer that recruits WNT machinery in response to BET inhibition. Together, our results identify and validate WNT signaling as a driver and candidate biomarker of primary and acquired BET resistance in leukemia, and implicate the rewiring of transcriptional programs as an important mechanism promoting resistance to BET inhibitors and, potentially, other chromatin-targeted therapies. RNA-Seq of DMSO- or JQ1-treated cancer cell lines; ChIP-seq for H3K36me3 and H3K27me3 in a leukemia cell line treated either with DMSO or JQ1, ChIP-seq for H3K27ac in resistant and sensitive mouse and human leukemia. Functional enhancer mapping (STARR-seq) in K-562 treated either with DMSO or JQ1.

Project description:Bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) protein inhibitors are emerging as promising therapeutics of cancers including prostate cancer. The E3 ubiquitin ligase adaptor protein speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) is implicated in human prostate cancers due to its frequent mutation. Here we demonstrate that SPOP binds to the BET proteins BRD2, BRD3 and BRD4. Wild-type SPOP, but not prostate cancer-associated mutants, promotes polyubiquitination and proteasome degradation of BET proteins by recognizing a common degron motif. BET protein levels are highly elevated in SPOP-mutated prostate cancers in patients. Expression of cancer-derived SPOP mutants upregulates cholesterol biosynthesis genes and confers resistance to the BET inhibitor in cultured prostate cancer cells and tumors in mice, and this effect can be overcome by the AKT inhibitor. Our findings reveal BET proteins as proteolytic targets of SPOP and identify deregulated cholesterol biosynthesis as a downstream event of SPOP mutation-mediated tumorigenesis and therapy resistance in prostate cancer.
