Project description:Platinum chemoresistance results in disease recurrence in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Recent advances in the treatment of solid tumours using checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy has not benefited platinum-resistant HGSOC. Epigenetic silencing of genes involved in triggering cell death and apoptosis in HGSOC is known to occur via hypermethylation during development of platinum resistance. DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors block methylation from occurring and allow silenced genes to be expressed. In ovarian cancer, DNMT inhibitors alter the epigenome and transcriptome of the tumours, which primarily affected expression of immune reactivation pathways. We aimed to determine the epigenome and transcriptome response to sequential treatment of HGSOC cells with DNMTi followed by standard-of-care carboplatin.

Project description:Purpose: Drug repurposing offers the opportunity for chemotherapy to be used to re-establish sensitivity to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Here we investigated the clinical and translational aspects of an early phase II study of azacitidine and carboplatin priming for anti-PDL1 immunotherapy (Avelumab) in patients with advanced ICB-resistant melanoma.
Experimental Design: 20 participants with ICB resistant metastatic melanoma received 2 x 4-week cycles of azacitidine and carboplatin followed by ICB re-challenge with anti-PD-L1 avelumab. The primary objective was overall response rate after priming and ICB re-challenge. Secondary objectives were Clinical benefit rate (CBR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Translational correlation analysis of HLA-A and PD-L1 expression, RNA-seq and reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) of biopsies at baseline, after priming and after 6 cycles of avelmuab was performed.
Results: The ORR determined after azacitidine and carboplatin priming was 10% (2/20) with 2 partial responses (PR). The ORR determined after priming followed by 6 cycles of avelumab (week 22) was 10%, with 2/20 participants achieving iPR. The CBR for azacitidine and carboplatin priming was 65% (13/20) and after priming followed by 6 cycles of avelumab CBR was 35% (n = 7/20). The median PFS was 18.0 weeks (95% CI: 14.87 – 21.13 weeks) and the median OS was 47.86 weeks (95% CI: 9.67 – 86.06 weeks). Translational correlation analysis confirmed HLA-A generally increased after priming with azacitidine and carboplatin, particularly if it was absent at the start of treatment. Average methylation of CpGs across the HLA-A locus was decreased after priming and T-cells, in particular CD8+, showed the greatest increase in infiltration.
Conclusions: Priming with azacitidine and carboplatin can induce disease stabilization and re-sensitisation to ICB for metastatic melanoma.

Project description:Following the re-exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), macrophages exhibit the immunosuppressive state contribute to low production of proinflammatory cytokines and inability to respond the stimuli, a phenomenon is termed “tolerance”. Histone modification has been found in LPS-induced tolerant macrophages. Carboplatin, an antitumor drug, exerts its general effect on inhibition of DNA replication and transcription as well as epigenetic modification. Therefore, we hypothesized that carboplatin can be used to rescue the tolerance in macrophages. We found that carboplatin increases IL-6 but not TNF-α production in LPS-primed cells. The significant inductions were examined in carboplatin-treated tolerant macrophages evaluated by ELISA and qPCR. GSEA analyses revealed that p53 was the significant hallmark in both primed and tolerant RNA-Seq transcripts under carboplatin exposure while E2F ang G2/M were the upmost in negative hallmarks. HP1-α, heterochromatin protein 1, was significantly reduced in carboplatin-treated tolerant macrophages. The significant lower transcript of H3K9me3 methyltransferase, setdb2, was determined whereas kdm4d, demethylase encoding gene was significantly up-regulated in the presence of carboplatin in tolerant macrophages. Based on our data we suggested that carboplatin mediated upregulation of proinflammatory cytokine and rescue tolerance via the H3K9me3 modification. Carboplatin is potentially be a therapeutic drug for tolerance recovery in sepsis patients.

Project description:The nucleotide analogue azacitidine interferes with RNA and DNA metabolism and is currently the best treatment option for a subset of patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. However, only half of treated patients respond and almost all patients that initially respond eventually relapse. We performed an optimized loss-of-function shRNA screen in combination with azacitidine treatment in an MDS-derived acute myeloid leukemia cell line to identify chromatin regulators affecting drug response. We identified CBP, as a major regulator of azacitidine sensitivity. Compounds inhibiting the enzymatic activity of CBP synergistically reduced viability of MDS-derived AML cell lines when combined with AZA. Surprisingly, this effect was specific for the RNA-dependent functions of AZA and not observed with the related compound decitabine that is limited to DNA incorporation. The identification of immediate target genes suggested that the effect of CBP inhibition is mediated by downregulation of genes encoding the translational machinery, which could be confirmed in proteomic analysis of nascent proteins. Furthermore, proteins most affected by CBP inhibition include key drivers of cell cycle progression.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the subtype of breast cancer most lacking in efficient treatment options. Although many TNBCs show remarkable responses to carboplatin-based chemotherapy, they often develop resistance over time. With increasing use of carboplatin in clinics, there is a pressing need to understand mechanisms causing carboplatin resistance and identify the vulnerabilities of carboplatin-resistant tumors. We generated carboplatin-resistance models based on the TNBC cell line MDA-MB-468 and patient derived xenograft (PDX) models of TNBCs. By combining the results of mass spectrometry-based proteome profiling and a kinome RNA interference screen, we assessed the molecular changes and vulnerabilities of carboplatin-resistant TNBCs. Using pharmacological inhibition of the identified targets, we validated the dependencies of carboplatin-resistant cells in vitro and in PDX models. We found that carboplatin resistance in TNBC is accompanied by drastic proteome rewiring. Carboplatin-induced metabolism alterations and upregulation of anti-oxidative response keep low levels of DNA damage and support cell replication in the presence of carboplatin. Carboplatin-resistant cells also exhibited longer mitosis due to dysregulation of mitotic checkpoint. Whereas the components of the mitotic checkpoints, AURKA and BUB1, are essential for the viability of carboplatin-resistant cells, the checkpoint kinases CHEK1 and WEE1 are indispensable for survival of carboplatin-treated resistant cells. We confirmed that pharmacological inhibition of CHEK1 by prexasertib in the presence of carboplatin is well tolerated by mice and suppresses the growth of carboplatin-resistant TNBC xenografts. Abrogation of the mitotic checkpoint re-sensitizes carboplatin-resistant TNBCs to carboplatin. CHEK1 inhibition represents a potential strategy for the treatment of carboplatin-resistant TNBCs.

Project description:Azacitidine (AZA) is a hypomethylating drug used to treat disorders associated with myelodysplasia and related neoplasms. Approximately 50% of patients do not respond to AZA and have very poor outcomes. It is of great interest to identify predictive biomarkers for AZA responsiveness. Therefore, we searched for specific genes whose expression level was associated with response status.Using microarrays, we analyzed gene expression patterns in bone marrow CD34+ cells from 32 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, and acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes before AZA therapy. Total RNA was isolated from bone marrow CD34+ cells obtained from myelodysplasia and related neoplasms patients who underwent treatment with 5-azacytidine (AZA, Vidaza). Using Illumina Human HT-12 v. 4 microarrays, we assayed gene expression profiles in patient CD34+ cells before AZA treatment in order to collect basic data for search for markers of the prediction of therapy response.
