Project description:Amplification of chromosome 17q23 is a frequent genomic event that occurs in ~ 11% of human breast cancers. The 17q23 amplification is enriched in HER2+ breast cancers, which is significantly correlated with poor clinical outcomes. Previous studies have identified the oncogenic phosphatase WIP1 gene in the amplicon, which functions as a master inhibitor in DNA damage response. While the possibility of any other protein-coding oncogenes in the WIP1-containing 17q23 amplicon was ruled out, our analysis of human breast cancer genomics uncovered an oncogenic microRNA gene, MIR21, in a majority of the WIP1-containing amplicons. Interestingly, DEAD-box helicase 5 (DDX5), co-amplified with WIP1 and MIR21 in the 17q23 amplicon, facilitates the essential processing of primary miR-21 transcripts. Accordingly, the 17q23 amplification results in aberrant expression of WIP1 and miR-21, which not only promotes breast tumorigenesis, but also leads to resistance to anti-HER2 therapies. Inhibiting WIP1 and miR-21 using small molecular inhibitor against WIP1 (GSK2830371) and anti-miR-21 oligonucleotides selectively inhibits the proliferation, survival and tumorigenic potential of HER2+ breast cancer cells harboring 17q23 amplification. However, the in vivo bioavailability of the two agents in their free form is poor. To overcome the resistance of trastuzumab-based therapies in vivo, we developed pH-sensitive nanoparticles for specific co-delivery of the two agents into breast tumors. The nanoparticles consist of four materials approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for medical use: Poly (d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), Pluronic F127 (PF127), chitosan, and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (DPPC). Moreover, chitosan was modified with guanidine to form chitosan-guanidine (CG), which not only can improve the encapsulation efficiency of anti-miR-21 oligonucleotides but also effectively capture carbon dioxide (CO2) into the nanoparticle to achieve the ‘nano-bomb’ effect for triggered drug release under the reduced pH in tumors. The two agents (inhibitors of miR-21 and WIP1)-laden nanoparticles can be used to efficiently kill trastuzumab-resistant HER2+ breast cancer cells, leading to a profound reduction of the tumor growth in vivo. These results demonstrate the great potential of the combined treatment of WIP1 and miR-21 inhibitors for the HER2+ breast cancers resistant to anti-HER2-based therapies.

Project description:Despite effective strategies, therapy resistance in HER2+ breast cancer remains a challenge. While the Mevalonate pathway (MVA) is suggested to promote cell growth and survival, including in HER2+ models, its potential role in resistance to HER2-targeted therapy is unknown. Using HER2+ breast cancer parental (P) cell models (AU565, SKBR3, and UACC812), we have established anti-HER2-resistant derivatives made resistant to lapatinib (LR) or lapatinib plus trastuzumab (LTR). We performed RNA-seq on these resistant models and the P cells treated with lapatinib or lapatinib plus trastuzumaba for 24 h. We found that the average expression of the key genes in the MVA pathway, as a surrogate for pathway activity, was dramatically reduced in P cells with short-term treatment. In contrast, expression was restored or further upregulated relative to P cells in all three resistant (LR/LTR) models. Specific blockade of this pathway with lipophilic but not hydrophilic statins and with the n-bisphosphonate zoledronic acid led to apoptosis and substantial growth inhibition of resistant cells. Inhibition was rescued by mevalonate or the intermediate metabolites farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) or geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP), but not by cholesterol. Activated YAP/TAZ and mTORC1 signaling and their downstream target gene product Survivin were inhibited by MVA blockade especially in the LR/LTR models. Overexpression of constitutively active YAP rescued Survivin and phosphorylated S6 levels despite blockade of the MVA. The MVA may provide alternative signaling leading to cell survival and resistance when HER2 is blocked by activating YAP/TAZ-mTORC1-Survivin signaling suggesting novel therapeutic targets. MVA inhibitors including lipophilic statins and N-bisphosphonates may circumvent resistance to anti-HER2 therapy and warrant further clinical investigation.

Project description:Inhibition of the HER2/ERBB2 receptor is a keystone to treating HER2-positive malignancies, particularly breast cancer, but a significant fraction of HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancers recur or fail to respond. Anti-HER2 monoclonal antibodies, like trastuzumab or pertuzumab, and ATP active site inhibitors like lapatinib, commonly lack durability because of adaptive changes in the tumor leading to resistance. HER2-directed therapy using clinically relevant drugs (trastuzumab with or without lapatinib or pertuzumab) in a 7-day clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01875666, LCCC1214) designed to examine early pharmacodynamic response to antibody-based anti-HER2 therapy showed reduced FOXA1 transcription factor expression was coincident with decreased HER2 and HER3 levels, decreased proliferation gene signatures, and increased immune gene signatures. Patient samples from this trial, when sufficient material was available, were also subjected to kinase enrichment using multiplexed kinase inhibitor bead affinity chromatography and LC-MS/MS. Strongly responsive transcriptional responses observed in a subset of patients corresponded to decreased binding of CDK1 and DDR1 by our proteomic approach. Taken together, our results highlight the importance of the immune response to anti-HER2 antibodies and suggests that inhibiting FOXA1-mediated adaptive responses in combination with HER2 targeting is a potential therapeutic strategy.

Project description:Targeting Fatty Acid Oxidation Enhances Response to HER2-targeted Therapy
| PRJNA1071151 | ENA
Project description:Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of tumorigenesis and includes alterations in glucose and fatty acid metabolism. In this study, we investigated the role of Carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1A (CPT1A), a key enzyme in fatty acid oxidation (FAO), in the induction of HER2+ (Human Epidermal growth factor 2, ErbB2) breast cancer. Using an ErbB2+ genetically engineered mouse models, we found that ablation of CPT1A delayed tumor onset and reduced tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastatic capacity. CPT1A-deficient ErbB2+ cells exhibited impaired mitochondrial function, leading to a reliance on the tricarboxylic acid cycle to reduce NAD+/FAD for energy production. Consequently, loss of CPT1A resulted in glucose dependency and an inability to metabolize fats. CPT1A-deficient ErbB2+ tumor cells exhibited increased oxidative stress and upregulated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) activity. Inhibiting NRF2 or silencing its expression reduced proliferation and glucose consumption in CPT1A-deficient cells. In pre-clinical models of ErbB2+ breast cancer, combining a ketogenic diet with an anti-ErbB2 monoclonal antibody in the context of CPT1A deficiency significantly reduced tumor growth and increased survival. Furthermore, combining the ketogenic diet with CPT1A ablation suppressed tumor growth, enhanced apoptosis, and reduced lung metastasis. Additionally, using an immunocompetent model, we provide evidence that CPT1A inhibition attenuated tumor growth and proliferation by promoting an antitumor immune microenvironment that enhanced the efficacy of ErbB2 targeted therapy. These findings provide insight into the metabolic rewiring in HER2+ breast cancer and highlight the potential of targeting fatty acid oxidation and employing metabolic interventions as a combination therapy strategy for HER2+ breast cancer patients, including those resistant to standard treatment regimes.

Project description:The use of trastuzumab and pertuzumab in combination with docetaxel for initial treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer patients has resulted in notable clinical benefits in comparison to docetaxel administered with trastuzumab alone. Nevertheless, although therapeutic success is evident at the outset, the majority of tumours eventually advance, rendering metastatic disease and subsequent recurrence in patients who have developed acquired resistance. There is an urgent requirement to enhance our comprehension of the mechanisms governing resistance, enabling us to develop targeted therapeutic approaches to improve efficacy. We produced four HER2-positive-derived cell lines through prolonged exposure to trastuzumab and pertuzumab, determining their resistance rates. We confirmed long-term resistance through a notable increase in colony formation capacity of the derived cells. We confirmed the molecular identity of the new cell lines using immunohistochemistry of their receptors and profiling of point mutations. We detected HER2 overexpression in all cell lines and resistance to trastuzumab and pertuzumab did not result in variations in ER, PR and HER2 receptor expression. Finally, a study using proteomics analysis confirmed a significant alteration in the abundance patterns of over 600 proteins. This has implications for various vital biological processes such as ribosome creation, mitochondrial functionality, and metabolism. These mechanisms may play a crucial role in developing resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer. We conclude that these BCCLs resistant to trastuzumab plus pertuzumab-based anti-HER2 therapy could be a useful resource to enhance comprehension of resistance acquisition mechanisms.

Project description:Gene expression data of HER2+ breast tumor samples Increasing evidence indicates that a subset of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer may achieve significant clinical benefit with anti-HER2 targeted therapy without chemotherapy. Thus, identification of biomarkers of long-term benefit from anti-HER2 agents is needed, especially in the metastatic setting. In the HERLAP study (NCT00842998), patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer were randomized to trastuzumab or lapatinib as first-line therapy. Patients showing radiological signs of tumor regression after 8 weeks of treatment were allowed to continue on single agent anti-HER2 therapy until disease progression. Chemotherapy was added to anti-HER-2 therapy in patients failing to achieve tumor regression at the 8-week evaluation and those progressing at any time. Expression analysis of 105 selected genes was performed from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded in 17 primary tumor samples. The research-based PAM50 intrinsic subtypes were also identified. The association of the expression of each biomarker with clinical outcome endpoints was evaluated. Nineteen patients were enrolled. In 4 patients (21.1%) we observed disease control lasting longer than 12 months with single agent anti-HER2 therapy (range 14.9-38.8 months). High expression of 17q12-21 amplicon genes HER2 and GRB7, and the PAM50 HER2-enriched intrinsic profile, were found significantly associated with 8-week overall response rate and with the duration of disease control during single agent anti-HER2 therapy. Conversely, high expression of luminal-related genes such as PGR, MDM2 or PIK3CA, or the PAM50 luminal intrinsic profile, was found associated with reduced benefit from single agent anti-HER2 therapy. Conclusions: Our data indicate that gene expression-based biomarkers can identify patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer that benefit substantially from single agent chemo-free anti-HER2 targeted therapy. In the study presented here, a well-defined cohort of 21 breast cancer cases from the HERLAP trial, was used to acquire expression profiles of a total of 105 unique genes
