Project description:In preclinical experiments, cyclic fasting-mimicking diets (FMDs) showed broad anticancer effects in combination with chemotherapy. Among different tumor types, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is exquisitely sensitive to FMD. However, the antitumor activity and efficacy of cyclic FMD in TNBC patients remain unclear. Here, we show that a severely calorie-restricted, triweekly, 5-day FMD regimen results in excellent pathologic complete response (pCR) rates (primary endpoint) and long-term clinical outcomes (secondary endpoints) when combined with preoperative chemotherapy in 30 patients with early-stage TNBC enrolled in the phase II trial BREAKFAST. Bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that highly glycolytic cancer cells, myeloid cells and pericytes from tumors achieving pCR undergo a significant, early downmodulation of pathways related to glycolysis and pyruvate metabolism. Our findings pave the wave for conducting larger clinical trials to investigate the efficacy of cyclic FMD in early-stage TNBC patients, and to validate early changes of intratumor glycolysis as a predictor of clinical benefit from nutrient restriction.

Project description:To investigate whether the fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) affects intratumor immunity, we assessed the impact of one FMD cycle before surgery in matched tumor tissue specimens from 22 early-stage breast cancer patients. At the tumor level, FMD activated antitumor immune programs in early-stage breast cancer patients.

Project description:Dietary restriction (DR) has multiple beneficial effects on health and longevity and can also improve the efficacy of certain therapies. Diets used to instigate DR are diverse and the corresponding response is not uniformly measured. We compared the systemic and liver-specific transcriptional response to intermittent fasting (IF) and commercially available fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) after short and long-term use in C57BL/6J mice. We show that neither DR regimen causes observable adverse effects in mice. The weight loss was limited to 20% and was quickly compensated during refeeding days. The slightly higher weight loss upon FMD versus IF correlated with stronger fasting response assessed by lower glucose levels and higher ketone body, free fatty acids, and especially FGF21 concentrations in blood. RNA sequencing demonstrated similar transcriptional programs in the liver after both regimens, with PPARα signalling as top enriched pathway, while on individual gene level FMD more potently increased gluconeogenesis-related, and PPARα and p53 target gene expression compared to IF. Repeated IF induced similar transcriptional responses as acute IF. However, repeated cycles of FMD resulted in blunted expression of genes involved in ketogenesis and fatty acid oxidation. Short-term FMD causes more pronounced changes in blood parameters and slightly higher weight loss than IF, while both activate similar pathways (particularly PPARα signalling) in the liver. On individual gene level FMD induces a stronger transcriptional response, whereas cyclic application blunts transcriptional upregulation of fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis only in FMD. Hence, our comparative characterization of IF and FMD protocols renders both as effective DR regimens and serves as resource in the fasting research field.

Project description:Metastatic tumors remain lethal due to primary/acquired resistance to therapy or cancer stem cell (CSC)-mediated repopulation. We show that a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) activates starvation escape pathways in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, which can be identified and targeted by drugs. In CSCs, FMD cycles lower glucose-dependent protein kinase A signaling and stemness markers to reduce cell number and increase mouse survival. Accordingly, metastatic TNBC patients with lower glycemia survive longer than those with higher baseline glycemia. By contrast, in differentiated cancer cells, FMD cycles activate PI3K-AKT, mTOR and CDK4/6 as survival/growth pathways, which can be targeted by drugs to promote tumor regression. FMD cycles also prevent hyperglycemia and other toxicities caused by these drugs. These data indicate that FMD has wide and differential effects on normal, cancer and cancer stem cells, allowing the rapid identification and targeting of starvation escape pathways and providing a method potentially applicable to many malignancies.

Project description:Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are widely used for treating solid and hematologic malignancies. However, their efficacy is frequently short lived, warranting the search for safe potentiation strategies. Short courses of fasting were shown to sensitize cancer cells to chemo- and radiotherapy while increasing the resistance of healthy tissues to the same agents. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of fasting to increase the efficacy of TKIs. Methods: starvation-mimicking culture conditions were studied for their ability to potentiate the effects of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2), Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) and multitarget TKIs in terms of cancer cell growth, signaling cascades inhibition, and changes in gene expression profile in TKI-sensitive cancer cells. In vivo, the activity of crizotinib or regorafenib, weekly cycles of fasting, or their combination was compared in tumor xenografts models. Results: In vitro, starvation-mimicking culture conditions increased the ability of TKIs to block cancer cell growth and to inhibit the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. At the gene expression profile level, starvation and crizotinib led to similar changes, but their combination strengthened Rb-, MYC-, and E2F-dependent transcription inhibition. In vivo, both TKIs and cycles of fasting slowed tumor growth, but, when combined, they were significantly more effective than either type of treatment alone. Conclusions: Cycles of fasting or of specifically designed fasting-mimicking diets should be evaluated in clinical studies as a means to potentiate the activity of TKIs in clinical use. RNA was collected from H3122 cells in 4 different conditions: serum, starvation, treated with Crizotinib, starvation and treated with Crizotinib. Each condition was run in quadruplicate
