Project description:First line treatment for EML4-ALK fusion-positive lung cancer patient is the use of an ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), such as alectinib. While most patients initially respond to this therapy, many patients often develop relapse, and efficacious therapies for patients with relapse disease are limited. To study EML4-ALK fusion-positive lung cancer, novel murine lung cancer cell lines were generated from C57BL/6 mice using an intratracheally injected Adeno-virus that contains Cas9 and guide RNAs for the EML4-ALK translocation, which leads to the development of lung tumors. Cell lines were derived from these tumors. In an effort to better understand how cells respond to alectinib, we treated EML4-ALK-positive murine cell lines (EA1, EA2, and EA3 cells) in vitro for 1-7 days with either 100nM alectinib or DMSO-control. At each time point, RNA was isolated from each condition. RNA was submitted to RNA-seq. Differential analysis on the RNA-seq data was performed to determine and track gene changes over time between control and treated cells. These data will allow us to better develop novel therapeutics to use in conjunction with alectinib when treating EML4-ALK fusion-positive patients.

Project description:Heat Shock Protein 90 inhibitors (HSP90i) have shown encouraging activity in EML4-ALK+ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients but clinical responses have been heterogeneous. It has been suggested that distinct EML4-ALK variants may have a differential impact on the response to HSP90 inhibition. Here, we show that NSCLC cells harboring the most common EML4-ALK variant 1 (v1) or variant 3 (v3) are similarly sensitive to HSP90i. To discover new genetic alterations that could be involved in stratifying sensitivity, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen and found that loss of Spindly increases the sensitivity of EML4-ALK v3, but not v1, NSCLC cells to low concentrations of HSP90i from three distinct chemical families. Upon loss of Spindly, prolonged exposure to low concentrations of HSP90i impairs chromosome congression and cellular fitness. Collectively, our data suggest that mutations leading to loss of Spindly in EML4-ALK v3 NSCLC patients may increase sensitivity to low doses of HSP90i.

Project description:Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion variants in non-small-cell-lung cancer (NSCLC) consist of numerous dimerising fusion partners, with the most common being EML4. Clinical data suggests that the degree of treatment benefit in response to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) differs among the variant present in the patient tumor. Therefore, a better understanding the oncogenic signaling networks driven by different ALK-fusion variants is important. Here, we developed highly controlled doxycycline-inducible cell models bearing four different ALK fusion proteins, namely EML4-ALK-V1, EML4-ALK-V3, KIF5B-ALK, and TFG-ALK, in the context of non-tumorigenic NL20 human bronchial epithelial cells. These were complimented by patient-derived NSCLC cell lines harboring either EML4-ALK-V1 or EML4-ALK-V3 fusions. RNAseq and phosphoproteomics analysis were employed to identify dysregulated genes and hyper/hypo-phosphorylated proteins associated with ALK fusion expression. Among ALK fusion induced responses, we noted a robust inflammatory signature that included up-regulation of the Serpin B4 serine protease inhibitor in both NL20-inducible cell models and ALK-positive NSCLC patient-derived cell lines. We show that STAT3 is a major transcriptional regulator of SERPINB4 downstream of ALK fusions, along with NF-B and AP1. The upregulation of SERPINB4 promotes survival of ALK fusion expressing cells and inhibits natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity. In conclusion, our study reveals a novel ALK downstream survival axis that regulates Serpin B4 expression and identifies a molecular target that has potential for therapeutic impact targeting the immune response together with ALK TKIs in NSCLC.

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are associated with tumor progression and modulate drug sensitivity of cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanisms are often incompletely understood and crosstalk between tumor cells and CAFs can involve soluble secreted as well as adhesion proteins . Interrogating a panel of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines driven by EML4-ALK fusions we observed substantial CAF-mediated drug resistance to various clinical ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Array-based cytokine and kinome profiling of fibroblast-derived conditioned-media identified HGF-MET signaling as a major contributor to CAF-mediated paracrine resistance that can be overcome by MET TKIs. However, ‘Cell Type specific labeling using Amino acid Precursors’ (CTAP)-based expression and phosphoproteomics in direct coculture also highlighted a critical role for the fibronectin-integrin pathway. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed activation of integrin 1 (ITGB1) in lung cancer cells by CAF coculture. Treatment with pharmacological inhibitors, cancer cell-specific silencing or CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knockout of ITGB1 overcame adhesion protein-mediated resistance. Concurrent targeting of MET and integrin signaling effectively abrogated CAF-mediated resistance of EML4-ALK-driven NSCLC cells to ALK TKIs in vitro. Consistently, combination of the ALK TKI, alectinib, with the MET TKI, capmatinib, and/or the integrin inhibitor, cilengitide, was significantly more efficacious than single agent therapy in suppressing tumor growth using an in vivo EML4-ALK-dependent allograft mouse model of NSCLC. In summary, these findings emphasize the complexity of resistance-associated crosstalk between CAFs and cancer cells, which can involve multiple concurrent signaling pathways, and illustrate how comprehensive elucidation of paracrine and juxtacrine resistance mechanisms can lead to more effective therapeutic approaches.

Project description:Background: Chromosomal inversions involving anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and echinoderm microtubule associated protein like 4 (EML4) generate a fusion protein EML4-ALK in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The understanding of EML4-ALK function can be improved by a functional study using normal human cells. Methods: Here we for the first time conduct such study to examine the effects of EML4-ALK on cell proliferation, cellular senescence, DNA damage, gene expression profiles and transformed phenotypes. Results: The lentiviral expression of EML4-ALK in mortal, normal human fibroblasts caused, through its constitutive ALK kinase activity, an early induction of cellular senescence with accumulated DNA damage, upregulation of p16INK4A and p21WAF1, and senescence-associated -galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity. In contrast, when EML4-ALK was expressed in normal human fibroblasts transduced with telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), which is activated in the vast majority of NSCLC, the cells showed accelerated proliferation and acquired anchorage-independent growth ability in soft-agar medium, without accumulated DNA damage, chromosome aberration, nor p53 mutation. EML4-ALK induced the phosphorylation of STAT3 in both mortal and hTERT-transduced cells, but RNA sequencing analysis suggested that the different signaling pathways contributed to the different phenotypic outcomes in these cells. While EML4-ALK also induced anchorage-independent growth in hTERT-immortalized human bronchial epithelial cells in vitro, the expression of EML4-ALK alone did not cause detectable in vivo tumorigenicity in immunodeficient mice. Conclusions: Our data indicate that the expression of hTERT is critical for EML4-ALK to manifest its in vitro transforming activity in human cells. This study provides the isogenic pairs of human cells with and without EML4-ALK expression.

Project description:Metastasis poses a major challenge in cancer management, including EML4-ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As cell migration is a critical step during metastasis, we assessed the anti-migratory activities of several clinical ALK inhibitors in NSCLC cells and observed differential anti-migratory capabilities despite similar ALK inhibition, with brigatinib displaying superior anti-migratory effects over other ALK inhibitors. Applying an unbiased in-situ mass spectrometry-based chemoproteomics approach, we determined the proteome-wide target profile of brigatinib in EML4-ALK+ NSCLC cells. Dose-dependent and cross-competitive chemoproteomics suggested MARK2 and MARK3 as relevant brigatinib kinase targets. Functional validation showed that combined pharmacological inhibition or genetic modulation of MARK2/3 inhibited cell migration. Consistently, brigatinib treatment induced inhibitory YAP1 phosphorylation downstream of MARK2/3. Collectively, our data suggest that brigatinib exhibits unusual cross-phenotype polypharmacology as despite similar efficacy for inhibiting EML4-ALK-dependent cell proliferation as other ALK inhibitors, it more effectively prevented migration of NSCLC cells due to co-targeting of MARK2/3.

Project description:Starting with H3122 cells, which harbor the EML4-ALK E13;A20 fusion and are known to be sensitive to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors, we generated isogenic pairs of ALK TKI sensitive and ALK TKI resistant cell lines using established methods (see Chmeliecki, J et al Science Trans Med 2011). We modeled resistance against the currently FDA approved ALK TKI, crizotinib (also called PF-1066). We also modeled resistance against a novel more potent ALK inhibitor, X-376 (ref: Lovly, CM et al Cancer Research 2011). We compared gene expression profiles between the 'parental' (ALK TKI sensitive) H3122 cells and the drug resistant cells (H3122 CR for Crizotinib resistant cells and H3122 XR for X-376 resistant cells).
