Small molecule inhibition of MEK activates Wnt signalling and leads to reprogramming of colon cancer stem cells [Illumina]

Project description:Resistance to Ras pathway inhibition is a major challenge in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here we performed large-scale small molecule screens in CRC and identified inhibitors of MEK1/2 as potent activators of Wnt/beta-catenin signalling. Targeting MEK increased Wnt activity in different CRC cell lines and in the murine intestine in vivo. The MEK-induced Wnt response was strongly enhanced by truncating mutations in APC and proteomic experiments identified that AXIN1 levels are depleted upon MEK inhibition. We generated patient-derived colon cancer organoids and showed that a clinically approved MEK inhibitor leads to increased Wnt activity, elevated LGR5 levels and enrichment of gene signatures associated with stem cells and cancer relapse. This reprogramming was reverted by co-treatment with Wnt inhibitors. Our study demonstrates that MEK inhibition affects cellular plasticity and induces an intestinal stem cell program which constitutes a novel mechanism of drug resistance.

A subset of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas depends quantitatively on oncogenic Kras/Mek/Erk-induced hyperactive mTOR signalling

Project description:Objective Oncogenic Kras-activated robust Mek/Erk signals phosphorylate to the tuberous sclerosis complex (Tsc) and deactivates mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) suppression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); however, Mek and mTOR inhibitors alone have demonstrated minimal clinical antitumor activity. Design We generated transgenic mouse models in which mTOR was hyperactivated either through the Kras/Mek/Erk cascade, by loss of Pten or through Tsc1 haploinsufficiency. Primary cancer cells were isolated from mouse tumours. Oncogenic signalling was assessed in vitro and in vivo, with and without single or multiple targeted molecule inhibition. Transcriptional profiling was used to identify biomarkers predictive of the underlying pathway alterations and of therapeutic response. Results from the preclinical models were confirmed on human material. Results Reduction of Tsc1 function facilitated activation of Kras/Mek/Erk-mediated mTOR signalling, which promoted the development of metastatic PDACs. Single inhibition of mTOR or Mek elicited strong feedback activation of Erk or Akt, respectively. Only dual inhibition of Mek and PI3K reduced mTOR activity and effectively induced cancer cell apoptosis. Analysis of downstream targets demonstrated that oncogenic activity of the Mek/Erk/Tsc/mTOR axis relied on Aldh1a3 function. Moreover, in clinical PDAC samples, ALDH1A3 specifically labelled an aggressive subtype. Conclusions These results advance our understanding of Mek/Erk-driven mTOR activation and its downstream targets in PDAC, and provide a mechanistic rationale for effective therapeutic matching for Aldh1a3-positive PDACs.

TNF-a-induced MEK/ERK-dependent regulation of Cartilage Matrix Genes

Project description:TNF-a is increased in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. TNF-a activates MEK/ERK in chondrocytes; however the overall functional relevance of MEK/ERK to TNF-a-regulated gene expression in chondrocytes is unknown. Chondrocytes were treated with TNF-a with or without the MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126 for 24 h. Microarray analysis was used to identify genes regulated by TNF-a in a MEK1/2-dependent fashion. Keywords: compound, signalling response

Time course of MEK inhibition

Project description:This study used microarray expression analysis to identify global changes in transcript alteration in response to MEK inhibition. Genes under ERK control were identified in a representative V600E BRAF cell line as a function of time following exposure to a small molecule inhibitor of MEK. Keywords: Time course
