Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine lung cancer. SCLC progression and treatment resistance involve epigenetic processes. However, links between SCLC DNA methylation and drug response remain unclear. We performed an epigenome-wide study of 66 human SCLC cell lines using the Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip array. Correlations of SCLC DNA methylation and gene expression with in-vitro response to 526 antitumor agents were examined. Results:We found multiple significant correlations between DNA methylation and chemosensitivity. A potentially important association was observed for TREX1, which encodes the 3’ exonuclease I that serves as a STING antagonist in the regulation of a cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway. Increased methylation and low expression of TREX1 were associated with the sensitivity to Aurora kinase inhibitors AZD-1152, SCH-1473759, SNS-314, and TAK-901, the CDK inhibitor R-547, the Vertex ATR inhibitor Cpd 45 and the mitotic spindle disruptor vinorelbine. Compared with cell lines of other cancer types, TREX1 had low mRNA expression and increased upstream region methylation in SCLC, suggesting a possible relationship with SCLC sensitivity to Aurora kinase inhibitors. We also identified multiple additional correlations indicative of potential mechanisms of chemosensitivity. Methylation of the 3’UTR of CEP350 and MLPH , involved in centrosome machinery and microtubule tracking, respectively, was associated with response to Aurora kinase inhibitors and other agents. EPAS1 methylation was associated with response to Aurora kinase inhibitors, a PLK-1 inhibitor and a Bcl-2 inhibitor. KDM1A methylation was associated with PLK-1 inhibitors and a KSP inhibitor. Increased promoter methylation of SLFN11 was correlated with resistance to DNA damaging agents, as a result of low or no SLFN11 expression. The 5’ UTR of the epigenetic modifier EZH2 was associated with response to Aurora kinase inhibitors and a FGFR inhibitor. Methylation and expression of YAP1 were correlated with response to an mTOR inhibitor. Among non-neuroendocrine markers, EPHA2 was associated with response to Aurora kinase inhibitors and a PLK-1 inhibitor, and CD151 with Bcl-2 inhibitors. Conclusions Multiple associations indicate potential epigenetic mechanisms affecting SCLC response to chemotherapy and suggest targets for combination therapies. While many correlations were not specific to SCLC lineages, several lineage markers were associated with specific agents.

Project description:Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the most common treatment for unresectable bladder cancers and also increasingly used as neoadjuvant treatments before or after surgery and radiotherapy. Unfortunately, though many patients respond to the treatment, most of them develop resistance quickly with unclear mechanisms and few further treatment options. Here, we report that semi-squamazation is acquired during chemo treatment in both mice and human. Multi-omics analyses show that cathepsin H (CTSH), a direct target of p63, is associated with chemoresistance and semi-squamation. Treatment with the cathepsin inhibitor E64 specifically restrains chemoresistant but not chemosensitive cancer. Mechanistically, cathepsin inhibition induces fully squamous differentiation of bladder cancer cells, which requires TNF receptor 1alpha and is associated with pyroptosis. Our study suggests that semi-squamazation would be a diagnosistic marker for chemoresistance and differentiation therapy by targeting CTSH might be a potential treatment for chemoresistant bladder cancer.

Project description:Here we quantified tyrosine phosphorylation (pTyr) mediated signaling networks in chemotherapy sensitive (CS) and resistant (CR) TNBC patient derived xenografts (PDX) to gain novel therapeutic insights. We identified Src Family Kinases (SFKs) as potential therapeutic targets in CR TNBC PDXs. Additionally, we performed pTyr analysis on tumor specimens derived from TNBC patients and observed lower prevalence of SFK driven tumors.
