Project description:Majority of breast cancer specific deaths in women with ERα (+) tumor occur due to metastases that are resistant to endocrine therapy. There is a critical need for novel therapeutic approaches to resensitize recurrent ERα (+) tumors to endocrine therapies. The objective of this study was to elucidate mechanisms of improved effectiveness of combined targeting of ERα and XPO1, a nuclear transport protein in overcoming endocrine resistance. Selinexor (SXR), an XPO1 antagonist, has been evaluated in multiple later stage clinical trials in patients with relapsed and /or refractory hematological and solid tumor malignancies. Using human phosphokinase array to profile kinase signaling pathways, we found that 4-OH Tamoxifen, SXR or their combination induced differential Akt phosphorylation profiles, changing the phosphorylation status and activity of the kinase. Also, our RNA sequencing data indicated that 4-OH Tamoxifen+SXR combination treatment causes gene expression changes distinct from 4-OH Tamoxifen and SXR treatments alone in tamoxifen-resistant cell lines. Since we observed dramatic changes in Akt activity and we saw a differential gene expression pattern with individual and combined 4-OH Tamoxifen and SXR treatments, we hypothesized that metabolic profile of breast cancer cells would change in the presence of 4-OH Tamoxifen and SXR. Using Seahorse metabolic profiler and cell viability experiments in limited media conditions, we showed that tamoxifen resistant cells were more dependent on mitochondria for energy production. Their glucose and fatty acid dependency decreased in the presence of SXR and cells were more dependent on glutamine as the mitochondrial fuel source. We demonstrated that combined targeting of XPO1 and ERα rewires metabolic pathways and shuts down both glycolytic and mitochondrial pathways that would eventually lead to autophagy. Remodelling metabolic pathways to regenerate new vulnerabilities in endocrine resistant breast tumors is novel, and given the need for better strategies for improving therapy response of relapsed ERα (+) tumors, our findings show great promise for uncovering the role of ERα-XPO1 crosstalk plays in reducing cancer recurrences.

The objective of this study was to elucidate mechanisms of improved effectiveness of combined targeting of ERα and the nuclear transport protein XPO1 in overcoming endocrine resistance. Selinexor (SEL), an XPO1 antagonist, has been evaluated in multiple late stage clinical trials in patients with relapsed and /or refractory hematological and solid tumor malignancies. Our transcriptomics analysis showed that 4-Hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT), SEL alone or their combination induced differential Akt signaling- and metabolism-associated gene expression profiles. Western blot analysis in endocrine resistant cell lines and xenograft models validated differential Akt phosphorylation. Using the Seahorse metabolic profiler, we showed that ERα-XPO1 targeting changed the metabolic phenotype of TAM-resistant breast cancer cells from an energetic to a quiescent profile. This finding demonstrated that combined targeting of XPO1 and ERα rewired the metabolic pathways and shut down both glycolytic and mitochondrial pathways that would eventually lead to autophagy. Remodeling metabolic pathways to regenerate new vulnerabilities in endocrine resistant breast tumors is novel, and given the need for better strategies to improve therapy response in relapsed ERα (+) tumors, our findings show great promise for uncovering the role that ERα-XPO1 crosstalk plays in reducing cancer recurrences.

Project description:XPO1 gene encodes exportin 1 (XPO1) that controls the nuclear export of cargo proteins and RNAs. Almost 25% of primary mediastinal B-cell lymphomas (PMBL) and classical Hodgkin lymphomas (cHL) cases harboured a recurrent XPO1 point mutation (NM_003400, chr2:g61718472C>T) resulting in the E571K modification within the hydrophobic groove of the protein, the site of cargo proteins binding. We investigated the functional impact of XPO1E571K mutation using cell lines having various XPO1 status. We first confirmed that the mutation was present both within the XPO1 mRNA and the corresponding protein. In the U2940 cell line having a wild-type (wt) XPO1 gene, we introduced the E571K mutation using several CRISPR-Cas9 strategies. Using a barcoding method to trace the mutation, we observed that the mutation gave no advantage in vitro. Indeed, the effects of XPO1E571K mutation were hidden by the presence of the XPO1 wt allele. Strikingly, XPO1E571K mutation never occurred as homozygous or hemizygous in our patients��������� cohort. We further showed that XPO1E571K mutation modified selinexor binding to XPO1 and in turn, its sensitivity to this drug. We concluded that the balance between the wild-type and the mutated allele of XPO1 is a key element in defining XPO1 functions and oncogenic properties.

Project description:Purpose: Exportin 1 (XPO1/CRM1) is a key mediator of nuclear export with relevance to multiple cancers, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Whole exome sequencing has identified hot-spot somatic XPO1 point mutations which we found to disrupt highly conserved biophysical interactions in the NES-binding groove, conferring novel cargo-binding abilities and forcing cellular mis-localization of critical regulators. However, the pathogenic role played by change-in-function XPO1 mutations in CLL is not fully understood. Thus, we aimed to identify disrupted cellular pathways in response to the E571K XPO1 mutation, the mutation most frequently cited in CLL patients, via high-throughput RNA-sequencing Results & Conclusion: Multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis of the top 1000 most variable genes demonstrated distinctly unique clustering along the first dimension for XPO1-E571K patient and XPO1-wt patient samples. This clustering pattern was driven by a number of genes that were either over- or under-expressed in XPO1-E571K patient cells, contributing to a unique gene expression pattern in patients with this mutation signature.

Project description:NPM1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) accounts for one third of AML in adults. NPM1-mutated AML maintenance depends on the interaction between mutated NPM1 (NPM1c) and the nuclear exporter Exportin 1 (XPO1). In this work, we show that continous XPO1 inhibition is necessary to achieve stable disruption of the NPM1c-XPO1 interaction and to induce HOX downregulation and differentiation of AML cells with mutated NPM1. In contrast, intermittent XPO1 inhibition only results in minimal transcriptional perturbation and limited antileukemic activity.

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer with limited treatment options. This study investigates the potential of repurposing selinexor, an XPO1 inhibitor, as a novel therapeutic option for TNBC. By utilizing a computational drug repurposing approach, XPO1 inhibitors were identified to be preferentially sensitive in TNBC compared to other breast cancer subtypes and its efficacy validated in an independent patient dataset and across various TNBC cell lines. Using RNA-sequencing after longitudinal XPO1 inhibition in a panel of TNBC cell lines and western blotting, we reveal that XPO1 inhibitor induces TNBC cell death by inhibiting the NF-kB pathway through nuclear retention of NFKBIA, a key regulator of this pathway. These findings suggest that XPO1 inhibitors could be an effective targeted therapy for TNBC and paves the way for more personalized treatment strategies offering hope for better outcomes in TNBC patients.

Project description:The five-year survival rate remains less than 50% for high-risk neuroblastoma patients, few of them show effective response to current chemotherapy drugs. It is urgent to identify new therapeutic targets and corresponding drugs for high-risk neuroblastoma. Exportin-1(XPO1), also known as chromosomal region maintenance 1 (CRM1), plays important roles in the progress of tumorigenesis. However, the prognostic and therapeutic values of XPO1 in neuroblastoma have not been reported. Here, our results showed that overexpression of XPO1 was significantly associated with poor clinical characteristics and prognosis of neuroblastoma patients. The specific inhibitor of XPO1 suppressed neuroblastoma cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, inhibition of XPO1 suppressed neuroblastoma cells proliferation and induced cell apoptosis by FOXO1 and RB1 nuclear accumulation in neuroblastoma through inhibiting PI3K/AKT pathway, and induced G0/G1 phase cell arrest by activating P53 function. Together, XPO1 is a promising prognostic indicator for neuroblastoma and a novel target for antitumor treatment by selective inhibitor verdinexor (KPT-335).

Project description:XPO1 is a nuclear export protein that is frequently overexpressed in cancer and functions as a driver of oncogenesis. Currently small molecules that target XPO1 are being used in the clinic as anti-cancer agents. We identify XPO1 as a target for natural killer (NK) cells. Using immunopeptidomics we have identified a peptide derived from XPO1 that can be recognized by the activating NK cell receptor KIR2DS2 in the context of HLA-C. The peptide can be endogenously processed and presented to activate NK cells specifically through this receptor. Although high XPO1 expression in cancer is commonly associated with a poor prognosis, we show that the outcome of specific cancers, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, can be substantially improved if there is concomitant evidence of NK cell infiltration. We thus identify XPO1 as a bona fide tumor antigen recognised by NK cells, that offers an opportunity for a personalized approach to NK cell therapy for solid tumors.

Project description:Tamoxifen, an antagonist to estrogen receptor (ER), is a first line drug used in breast cancer treatment. However, this therapy is complicated by the fact that a substantial number of patients exhibit either de novo or acquired resistance. To characterize the signaling mechanisms underlying the resistance to tamoxifen, we established a tamoxifen-resistant cell line by treating the MCF7 breast cancer cell line with tamoxifen for over 6 months. We showed that this cell line exhibited resistance to tamoxifen both in vitro and in vivo. In order to quantify the phosphorylation alterations associated with tamoxifen resistance, we performed SILAC-based quantitative phosphoproteomic profiling on the resistant and vehicle-treated sensitive cell lines where we identified >5,600 unique phosphopeptides. We found phosphorylation levels of 1,529 peptides were increased (>2 fold) and 409 peptides were decreased (<0.5-fold) in tamoxifen resistant cells compared to tamoxifen sensitive cells. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that focal adhesion pathway was the top enriched signaling pathway activated in tamoxifen resistant cells. We observed hyperphosphorylation of the focal adhesion kinases FAK1 and FAK2 in the tamoxifen resistant cells. Of note, FAK2 was not only hyperphosphorylated but also transcriptionally upregulated in tamoxifen resistant cells. Suppression of FAK2 by specific siRNA knockdown could sensitize the resistant cells to the treatment of tamoxifen. We further showed that inhibiting FAK activity using the small molecule inhibitor PF562271 repressed cellular proliferation in vitro and tumor formation in vivo. More importantly, our survival analysis revealed that high expression of FAK2 significantly associated with short metastasis-free survival of ER-positive breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen-based hormone therapy. Our studies suggest that FAK2 is a great potential target for the development of therapy for the treatment of hormone refractory breast cancers.
