SILAC-based quantitative tyrosine phosphoproteomic profiling identifies alternative therapeutic targets to erlotinib in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a receptor tyrosine kinase is overexpressed in 90% of Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. Clinical trials with EGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as erlotinib have shown a modest activity in HNSCC alternate mechanisms of resistance are acquired. To investigate these acquired mechanisms of resistance and identify novel therapeutic targets we employed SILAC-based tyrosine phosphoteomic analysis of an isogenic pair of erlotinib sensitive (SCC-S) and resistant (SCC-R) HNSCC cell line. Quantitative phosphotyrosine profiling revealed 98 phosphopeptides belonging to 64 proteins and 66 phosphopeptides belonging to 52 proteins to be hyper and hypophosphorylated (≥2 fold) in SCC-R cells, respectively. Several proteins such MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (MET) and CRK like proto-oncogene, adaptor protein (CRKL) known to mediate erlotinib resistance in HNSCC and lung cancer were found to be dysregulated. Bioinformatics analysis of differentially phosphorylated proteins showed enrichment of proteins involved in focal adhesion kinase (FAK) pathway downstream of EGFR. We identified and validated activation of several phosphorylation sites of protein tyrosine kinase 2 (PTK2) in SCC-R cells and its downstream targets. We further demonstrated that CUB-domain containing protein 1 (CDCP1), an upstream regulator of PTK2 activity and PTK2 can be targeted in combination as an alternative to erlotinib in HNSCC.

Resistance to cancer chemotherapy is a major global health burden. Epidermal growth factor receptor (<i>EGFR</i>) is a proven therapeutic target for multiple cancers of epithelial origin. Despite its overexpression in >90% of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients, tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as erlotinib have shown a modest response in clinical trials. Cellular heterogeneity is thought to play an important role in HNSCC therapeutic resistance. Genomic alterations alone canno ...[more]

Project description:Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the ten most common malignancies. Even though recent paradigm changes led to inclusion of immune checkpoint inhibitor combination therapy in treatment of naive metastatic RCC, insight in the biology and management of RCC would still favour the use of a combination of kinase inhibitors to target multiple pathways, presenting the possibility of enhanced efficacy and reduced development of resistance. We have used the streamlined-feedback system control (s-FSC) technique, a phenotypic approach, to identify optimized drug combinations (ODC) in 5 different human RCC lines. This approach requires no a priori mechanistic information on drug mechanism of action, and uses statistical modelling circumventing the need to experimentally screen large numbers of combinations. Different ODC with up to 90% effectivity were obtained for the 5 cell lines, importantly, by combining drug at doses that individually only inhibit 5-25% cell viability. Cell viability was reduced and apoptosis induced, accompanied by a general inhibition of downstream survival and growth promoting effector kinase RPS6. Global phosphoproteomics analysis of the cell lines revealed that in all cases where the ODC showed >50% efficacy, the most active kinases were targets of the selected drugs in the ODC. Interestingly, we observed considerable overlap in the top 20 most active kinases in all 5 cell lines, suggesting a universal ODC might be effective in all cells. Indeed, a combination of erlotinib and dasatinib, targeting EGFR and EPHA2/SRC signaling respectively, combined with AZD4547 or axitinib (targeting VEGFR and FGFR signaling), displayed excellent activity. The effect of the 786-O cell-line specific ODC was analysed in more detail using phosphoproteomics coupled to kinase activity analysis using the INKA pipeline.approaches. As expected, the activity of the main targets of erlotinib and dasatinib was reduced, but the activity of several untargeted kinases, including AXL, PTK2 and MET, remained high or increased, having potential implications for the development of resistance. Addition of crizotinib, targeting MET and PTK2, to the 3-drug ODC but not exchange with axitinib, further enhanced drug combination efficacy. In conclusion, we show that the phenotypic s-FSC method is highly effective in selecting optimized combinations of drugs, and that phosphoproteomics analysis can help further refine the selection of drugs included in the screen or final drug mixture.
