Project description:Solid tumors are characterized by significantly lower oxygen (O2) levels. Despite this fact, routine preclinical cancer studies are performed under ambient O2 conditions. We have developed an experimental approach that allows us to collect, process and evaluate cancer and non-cancer cells under physioxia (3-5% O2), in such a way that there is very minimal exposure to air. We have shown in previous studies that ambient and physioxic O2 differentially impact relevant cell surface markers and sensitivity to therapy. In this study, our goal was to further explore oxygen-dependent signaling pathway alterations and to determine how these pathways influence response to targeted therapies. Using cells derived from transgenic mouse mammary tumors and healthy primary human breast epithelial cells, we show the impact of ambient air and physioxia on the kinome, with subsequent pathway alterations that mediate the effectiveness of single and combination therapies. Our data emphasize the importance of O2 considerations in preclinical cancer research and drug development.

Project description:The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway is a network of proteins critical to the preservation of genomic integrity and the prevention of cancer. FA proteins safeguard the genome by regulating the cell cycle and facilitating error-free repair of DNA damage. Bi-allelic mutation of genes encoding FA pathway proteins causes the cancer predisposition syndrome Fanconi anemia (FA), which is associated with a high incidence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Individuals with mono-allelic mutation of a subset FA genes do not develop FA but suffer increased lifetime risk of solid and hematological malignancies. Within the general population, approximately 14% of sporadic AMLs harbor damaging mutations within the FA pathway. Our previous work demonstrated that inhibition of the mitotic kinase PLK1 induced synthetic lethality in cells deficient for FANCA, the gene most frequently lost in FA. This finding corroborates work from others that have identified synthetic lethal interactions between PLK1 and additional FA genes (FANCG, BRCA1, and BRCA2). Together, these findings suggest that FA pathway mutations may serve as biomarkers for sensitivity to PLK1 inhibitors, which have demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in an undefined subset of AML patients. Here, HL60 AML cells were generated with shControl or shFANCA and treated with 10nM volasertib for 24 h prior to kinome profiling.

Project description:Oncogenic KRAS drives cancer growth by activating diverse signaling networks, not all of which have been fully delineated. We set out to establish a system-wide profile of the KRAS-regulated kinase signaling network (kinome) in KRAS-mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We knocked down KRAS expression in a panel of six cell lines, and then applied Multiplexed Inhibitor Bead/Mass Spectrometry (MIB/MS) chemical proteomics to monitor changes in kinase activity and/or expression. We hypothesized that depletion of KRAS would result in downregulation of kinases required for KRAS-mediated transforming activities, and in upregulation of other kinases that could potentially compensate for the deleterious consequences of the loss of KRAS. We identified 15 upregulated and 13 downregulated kinases in common across the panel. In agreement with our hypothesis, all 15 of the upregulated kinases have established roles as cancer drivers (e.g., SRC, TGFBR1, ILK), and pharmacologic inhibition of the upregulated kinase, DDR1, suppressed PDAC growth. Interestingly, 11 of the 13 downregulated kinases have established driver roles in cell cycle progression, particularly in mitosis (e.g., WEE1, Aurora A, PLK1). Consistent with a crucial role for the downregulated kinases in promoting KRAS-driven proliferation, we found that pharmacologic inhibition of WEE1 also suppressed PDAC growth. The unexpected paradoxical activation of ERK upon WEE1 inhibition led us to inhibit both WEE1 and ERK concurrently, which caused further potent growth suppression and enhanced apoptotic death than WEE1 inhibition alone. We conclude that system-wide delineation of the KRAS-regulated kinome can identify potential therapeutic targets for KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Cachexia frequently develops in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and contributes to cancer deaths.Sex differences have been observed in cancer cachexia; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are far less addressed. We assessed sex difference in PDAC cachexia phenotypes in the KPC (Kras-G12D;Trp-R172H;Pdx1::Cre) genetically engineered mouse model of PDAC and profiled gene expression in the quadriceps skeletal muscles. Males with PDAC experienced earlier cachexia-onset than the female counterpart and activin blockade by ACVR2B/Fc reduced cachexia sympotomes in males but not females. PDAC induced earlier global transcritome alterations in males than females.

Project description:Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) make up the majority of lymphoma diagnoses and represent a very diverse set of malignancies. We sought to identify kinases uniquely upregulated in different NHL subtypes. Using Multiplexed Inhibitor Bead-mass spectrometry (MIB/MS), we found Tyro3 was uniquely upregulated and important for cell survival in primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), which is a viral lymphoma infected with Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV).

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) causes involuntary wasting of adipose and muscle tissue, also known as cachexia. Cachexia is a major cause of cancer-related deaths, particularly among patients with PDAC. Here we profiled gene expression in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in normal/sham control mice and in mice bearing orthotopic PDAC tumors. PDAC tumors were initiated by intra-pancreatic injection of a cell line derived from the KPC (Kras-G12D;Trp-R172H;Pdx1::Cre) genetically engineered mouse model of pancreatic cancer, or by injection of the same cell line deleted for the IL6 gene using CRISPR/Cas9. KPC-IL6 knockout (ko) cells caused less adipose wasting and no muscle loss compared with KPC-wildtype (wt) cells.

Project description:Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is the most common autosomal dominant disorder, affecting 1 in 3,500 individuals worldwide and predisposing to cancer. Germline mutations in the NF1 gene, encoding the p21Ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP) neurofibromin, are the underlying cause for NF1. Somatic inactivation of the wild type copy of NF1 leads to deregulated Ras signaling. Clinical manifestations are diverse for NF1 patients, but the predominant lesions are plexiform neurofibroma (PNF), arising from the Schwann cell (SC) lineage. While PNF are generally benign, approximately 10% of patients will experience PN progression to highly aggressive malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) with poor prognosis. There are currently no approved targeted therapies for PNF or MPNST. In this study, we used a conditional mouse model of NF1, test the multi-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, cabozantinib (XL184). Mice were treated with vehicle or with cabozantinib for 3 or 7 days. Tissue was harvested, lysates prepared, and the lysate was used for kinome profiling. From cell lines or tumor tissue, protein lysates are prepared and passed over an affinity matrix consisting of Sepharose beads covalently coupled to a mixture of linker-adapted Type I kinase inhibitors. Kinase capture is reproducible and is a function of affinity for kinases for the immobilized inhibitors, expression level of the kinase, as well as the activation state of the kinase. Following affinity purification, kinases are identified and their multiplexed kinase inhibitor bead binding quantified by mass spectrometry (MIB/MS). Our goal is to identify the kinome changes in NF1 plexiform neurofibroma induced by cabozantinib treatment.

Project description:Purpose: Management of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) has been revolutionized by the identification of activating mutations in KIT and PDGFRA and the clinical application of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitors in the advanced disease setting. Stratification of GIST into molecularly defined subsets provides insight into clinical behavior and response to approved targeted therapies. Although these RTK inhibitors are effective in the majority of GIST, resistance to these agents remains a significant clinical obstacle. Development of effective treatment strategies for refractory GIST requires identification of novel targets to provide additional therapeutic options. Global kinome profiling has the potential to identify critical signaling networks and reveal protein kinases that are essential in GIST. Experimental Design: Using Multiplexed Inhibitor Beads and Mass Spectrometry paired with a super-SILAC kinome standard, we explored the majority of the kinome in GIST specimens from three GIST subtypes (KIT-mutant, PDGFRA-mutant and succinate dehydrogenase-deficient GIST) to identify novel kinase targets. In vitro and in vivo studies were performed to evaluate the utility of targeting the identified kinases in GIST. Results: Kinome profiling revealed distinct signatures in three GIST subtypes. PDGFRA-mutant GIST had elevated tumor associated macrophage (TAM) kinases and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed increased TAMs present in these tumors. Kinome profiling with loss-of-function assays revealed a significant role for G2-M tyrosine kinase, Wee1, in GIST survival. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed significant efficacy of MK-1775 (Wee1 inhibitor) in combination with avapritinib in both KIT and PDGFRA-mutant GIST cell lines, as well as notable efficacy of MK-1775 as a single agent in the PDGFRA-mutant line. Conclusions: These studies provide strong preclinical justification for the use of MK-1775 in GIST.
