    Abstract: Background: The protein kinase B (PKB/AKT) and RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathways are activated in a wide range of human cancer types. In many cases, concomitant inhibition of both pathways is necessary to block proliferation and induce cell death and tumor shrinkage. Several feedback mechanisms have been described in which inhibition of one pathway leads to activation of a parallel signaling pathway, thereby decreasing the effectiveness of targeted monotherapies. Materials and Methods: In order to determine which signalling core should be blocked for combinatorial treatment, we treated a panel of EML4-ALK positive lung cancer cell lines using MEK-ERK inhibitors. Resazurin assay was performed to evaluate cell viability. Protein levels were determined using western blotting. Results: In this study, we describe a feedback mechanism in which MEK-ERK inhibition leads to increased activation of AKT signaling in EML4-ALK variant (E6a/b;A20) positive NSCLC cell lines. Interestingly, EML4-ALK variant (E13;A20) NSCLC cell lines responds to MEK-ERK inhibitors and shows synergism when combined with ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We found that feedback response in EML4-ALK variant (E6a/b;A20) positive NSCLC cells was mediated by the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2-associated protein SIN1, resulting in increased survival and proliferation that depended on AKT signaling. Conclusions: Taken together, these results elucidate an important feedback network and contraindicate the use of MEK inhibitors as effective therapeutic strategy in EML4-ALK variant (E6a/b;A20) positive NSCLC.

    Abstract: Although alterations in xenobiotic metabolism are considered causal in the development of bladder cancer, the precise mechanisms involved are poorly understood. In this study, we used high-throughput mass spectrometry to measure over 2,000 compounds in 58 clinical specimens, identifying 35 metabolites which exhibited significant changes in bladder cancer. This metabolic signature distinguished both normal and benign bladder from bladder cancer. Exploratory analyses of this metabolomic signature in urine showed promise in distinguishing bladder cancer from controls and also nonmuscle from muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Subsequent enrichment-based bioprocess mapping revealed alterations in phase I/II metabolism and suggested a possible role for DNA methylation in perturbing xenobiotic metabolism in bladder cancer. In particular, we validated tumor-associated hypermethylation in the cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) promoters of bladder cancer tissues by bisulfite sequence analysis and methylation-specific PCR and also by in vitro treatment of T-24 bladder cancer cell line with the DNA demethylating agent 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine. Furthermore, we showed that expression of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 was reduced significantly in an independent cohort of bladder cancer specimens compared with matched benign adjacent tissues. In summary, our findings identified candidate diagnostic and prognostic markers and highlighted mechanisms associated with the silencing of xenobiotic metabolism. The metabolomic signature we describe offers potential as a urinary biomarker for early detection and staging of bladder cancer, highlighting the utility of evaluating metabolomic profiles of cancer to gain insights into bioprocesses perturbed during tumor development and progression.

    Abstract: Background: Cancer metastasis is the major cause of death in nearly all tumor types; however, most treatments target the primary tumor and not the highly invasive metastatic cells. We propose to prevent cancer metastasis by precisely targeting the cancer invasion machinery. To do this we disrupt a novel target-the vimentin cytoskeleton. Vimentin is overexpressed in nearly all invasive solid tumors and is critical for cell migration. Here we show that Withania sominifera root extracts (WRE) and one of its primary constituent, Withaferin A (WFA), targets vimentin to inhibit cancer cell motility and migration while having negligible effects on viability. WFA is a steroidal natural product with 4-rings (A-D) connected to a lactone ring. We test the hypothesis that WFA is an anti-invasive compound that disrupts vimentin function with limited toxicity.Material and Methods: We employ cutting-edge live cell confocal imaging studies in combination with traditional molecular biology techniques to dissect the precise mechanism of how WRE or WFA inhibits cancer cell migration and invasion. We have employed a wounding model and Matrigel invasion assay to determine the anti-migratory and anti-invasive properties of WRE and WFA using MDAMB-231 cells. We have used GFP-vimentin to visualize the changes in vimentin dynamics. Effect of WRE and WFA on cell cycle was analyzed by Flow cytometry.Results: Our results show WFA has weak anti-proliferative activity at low concentrations but potently inhibits breast cancer migration and invasion in a dose-dependent manner. High resolution confocal images reveal that in WFA-treated cells, vimentin fails to invade the lamellipodia resulting in decreased cell migration. This is supported by live cell confocal imaging showing that at high doses WFA treatment depolymerizes GFP: vimentin. Furthermore, treatment with WFA results in aberrant vimentin phosphorylation, likely resulting in a net depolymerized phenotype. In order to determine if the vimentin-binding A ring of WFA is critical for its anti-invasive efficacy, we synthesized and tested A-ring modified analogs of WFA. All three analogs showed severely reduced potency in inhibiting cancer cell migration and invasion, suggesting that the A ring is critical for its anti-invasive activity.Discussion: The present study shows that WRE or WFA inhibits breast cancer cell migration at nanomolar concentrations by disrupting vimentin at concentrations that have minimal effect on proliferation. We believe its strong anti-migratory activity make this an appropriate compound as an anti-metastatic chemopreventative. Ultimately, we envision WFA can be used as a vimentin-targeting chemopreventative in high-risk metastatic patients and has the potential to be used with traditional cytotoxics.

    Abstract: Hepatoblastoma (HB), the commonest pediatric liver tumor is frequently associated with an N-terminal deletion in the CTNNB1 gene, which encodes stable β-catenin and promotes nuclear localization and transactivation activity. In 80% of patients, nuclear localization of β-catenin and Yes Associated Protein (YAP), a Hippo-related transactivator, is seen together. Further, stable hepatic co-expression of Δ90-CTNNB1 and active-YAP in mice causes rapid and aggressive HB. Dicer-substrate siRNAs (DsiRNAs) are potent RNA interference (RNAi) triggers that that are efficacious in preclinical tumor models of diverse origin, and are currently under clinical evaluation. To determine if CTNNB1-targeting DsiRNAs have potential as a therapy in HB, we encapsulated this oligonucleotide payload into lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), and systemically administered into mice bearing CTNNB1/YAP-induced HB. The LNP platform used, termed EnCore (because of its specific Envelope and Core lipid components), enables high encapsulation efficiency, long-term stability, and consistent analytical criteria. Downstream of LNP-mediated DsiRNA delivery, both qPCR and in situ hybridization were used to visualize changes in CTNNB1 expression in both tumor and normal liver. Robust and specific silencing of CTNNB1 mRNA was achieved in the tumors. The distribution of mRNA knockdown within each tumor nodule suggests efficient extravasation and internalization of the LNP and its payload into the tumor parenchyma, in contrast to previous reports of vascular-channel limited nanoparticle accumulation in tumors. Intriguingly, a “liver-centric” LNP formulation, which delivers cargo efficiently to a normal liver due to rapid hepatic extraction and apolipoprotein-mediated internalization, was inactive in the tumors. Further evaluation demonstrated efficacy of β-catenin targeting in this model. In conclusion, we report a highly relevant modality of RNAi delivery in a mouse model of hepatoblastoma to target a classically-undruggable oncogene. Citation Format: Marc T.

    Abstract: Background: Preclinical data suggest that adavosertib (AZD1775), a highly selective Wee1 inhibitor, enhances the antitumor effect of PARP inhibitors such as olaparib. The dose-escalation part of this Phase Ib study (NCT02511795) investigated the safety and tolerability of adavosertib plus olaparib in patients (pts) with refractory solid tumors to determine a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). Methods: Pts received adavosertib (QD or BID) for 3 consecutive days with 4 days off treatment (3/4), or 5 consecutive days with 2 days off (5/2), plus olaparib (BID) for 14 or 21 days of a 21-day cycle (Table). The MTD was the highest dose at which & lt;1/3 of evaluable pts had a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). DLTs were hematologic grade (gr) ≥4 AEs lasting & gt;7 days, gr 3 thrombocytopenia with gr ≥2 bleeding, non-hematologic gr ≥3 AEs (excluding nausea, vomiting or diarrhea that responds to supportive care), liver function gr ≥3 AEs lasting & gt;48 hours or changes consistent with Hy’s Law, or any other toxicity that disrupted dosing for & gt;7 days. Results: 119 pts were treated (84 female; median age 59; most common primary tumor sites: ovary [21%], breast [16%] , lung [12.6%]) (Table). The most common gr ≥3 AEs were anemia (n=28, 23.5%), neutropenia (n=26, 21.8%), and thrombocytopenia (n=20, 16.8%) (all grouped terms). The most common DLTs were thrombocytopenia (n=4) and neutropenia (n=4); two pts experienced both. There were 4 SAEs with an outcome of death, 1 was treatment related. ORR for the total population, cohort 4.2 and cohort 7.4 was 11.1%, 30.8% and 0%, respectively. DCR was 55.7%, 76.9% and 53.8%, respectively. PK and biomarker data will be presented. Conclusions: Treatment with adavosertib plus olaparib showed antitumor activity, mostly at the MTD/RP2D for the BID schedule, which was determined to be adavosertib 175 mg (3/4) for 2/3 weeks plus olaparib 200 mg BID. The RP2D for QD schedule was adavosertib 200 mg (3/4) for 2/3 weeks plus olaparib 200 mg BID.

    Abstract: Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) alone is not active in mismatch repair–proficient (MMR-P) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), nor does radiotherapy alone result in objective systemic benefit. However, combined radiotherapy plus ICI can induce systemic antitumor immunity in preclinical and clinical models. Patients and Methods: In this single-center, phase II study, patients with chemotherapy-refractory MMR-P mCRC received durvalumab 1,500 mg plus tremelimumab 75 mg every 4 weeks plus radiotherapy. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) in nonirradiated lesions. Treatment and efficacy were correlated with peripheral immune cell profiles. Results: We enrolled 24 patients, and report outcomes after a median follow-up of 21.8 (range: 15.9–26.3) months. The ORR was 8.3% (2 patients) [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.0–27.0]. The median progression-free survival was 1.8 (95% CI, 1.7–1.9) months, median overall survival was 11.4 (95% CI, 10.1–17.4) months. Twenty five percent of patients (n = 6) had treatment-related grade 3–4 adverse events. We observed increased circulating CD8+ T lymphocyte activation, differentiation, and proliferation in patients with objective response. Conclusions: This combination of radiotherapy plus ICI study did not meet the prespecified endpoint criteria to be considered worthwhile for further study. However, rare instances of systemic immune augmentation and regression in nonirradiated lesions were observed (an abscopal response). Combination durvalumab and tremelimumab plus radiotherapy is feasible in MMR-P mCRC with a manageable safety profile. Further studies of novel immunotherapy combinations, and identification of biomarkers predictive of abscopal response are warranted.

    Abstract: The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is among the most frequently altered signaling networks in human cancers. Despite decades of preclinical and clinical research, efficient therapeutic targeting of Wnt/β-catenin has been elusive. RNA interference (RNAi) technology silences genes at the mRNA level and therefore can be applied to previously undruggable targets. Lipid nanoparticles (LNP) represent an elegant solution for the delivery of RNAi-triggering oligonucleotides to disease-relevant tissues, but have been mostly restricted to applications in the liver. In this study, we systematically tuned the composition of a prototype LNP to enable tumor-selective delivery of a Dicer-substrate siRNA (DsiRNA) targeting CTNNB1, the gene encoding β-catenin. This formulation, termed EnCore-R, demonstrated pharmacodynamic activity in subcutaneous human tumor xenografts, orthotopic patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumors, disseminated hematopoietic tumors, genetically induced primary liver tumors, metastatic colorectal tumors, and murine metastatic melanoma. DsiRNA delivery was homogeneous in tumor sections, selective over normal liver and independent of apolipoprotein-E binding. Significant tumor growth inhibition was achieved in Wnt-dependent colorectal and hepatocellular carcinoma models, but not in Wnt-independent tumors. Finally, no evidence of accelerated blood clearance or sustained liver transaminase elevation was observed after repeated dosing in nonhuman primates. These data support further investigation to gain mechanistic insight, optimize dose regimens, and identify efficacious combinations with standard-of-care therapeutics.

    Abstract: Myc oncoproteins induce genes driving aerobic glycolysis, including lactate dehydrogenase-A that generates lactate. Here, we report that Myc controls transcription of the lactate transporter SLC16A1/MCT1 and that elevated MCT1 levels are manifest in premalignant and neoplastic Eμ-Myc transgenic B cells and in human malignancies with MYC or MYCN involvement. Notably, disrupting MCT1 function leads to an accumulation of intracellular lactate that rapidly disables tumor cell growth and glycolysis, provoking marked alterations in glycolytic intermediates, reductions in glucose transport, and in levels of ATP, NADPH, and ultimately, glutathione (GSH). Reductions in GSH then lead to increases in hydrogen peroxide, mitochondrial damage, and ultimately, cell death. Finally, forcing glycolysis by metformin treatment augments this response and the efficacy of MCT1 inhibitors, suggesting an attractive combination therapy for MYC/MCT1-expressing malignancies.

    Abstract: Mutant p53 is a cancer-specific target for pharmacologic intervention. We show that histone deacetylase inhibitors such as FR901228 and trichostatin A completely depleted mutant p53 in cancer cell lines. This depletion was preceded by induction of p53-regulated transcription. In cells with mutant p53 pretreated with histone deacetylase inhibitors, DNA damage further enhanced the p53 trans-function. Furthermore, histone deacetylase inhibitors were preferentially cytotoxic to cells with mutant p53 rather than to cells lacking wild-type p53. We suggest that, by either restoring or mimicking p53 trans-functions, histone deacetylase inhibitors initiate degradation of mutant p53. Because mutant p53 is highly expressed, a sudden restoration of p53-like functions is highly cytotoxic to cells with mutant p53. In a broader perspective, this shows how selectivity may be achieved by targeting a non-cancer-specific target, such as histone deacetylases, in the presence of a cancer-specific alteration, such as mutant p53.

    Abstract: Liquid biopsy offers a minimally invasive tool to diagnose and monitor the heterogeneous molecular landscape of tumors over time and therapy. Detection of TERT promoter mutations (C228T, C250T) in cfDNA has been successful for some systemic cancers but has yet to be demonstrated in gliomas, despite the high prevalence of these mutations in glioma tissue ( & gt;60% of all tumors). Experimental Design: Here, we developed a novel digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) assay that incorporates features to improve sensitivity and allows for the simultaneous detection and longitudinal monitoring of two TERT promoter mutations (C228T and C250T) in cfDNA from the plasma of patients with glioma. Results: In baseline performance in tumor tissue, the assay had perfect concordance with an independently performed clinical pathology laboratory assessment of TERT promoter mutations in the same tumor samples [95% confidence interval (CI), 94%–100%]. Extending to matched plasma samples, we detected TERT mutations in both discovery and blinded multi-institution validation cohorts with an overall sensitivity of 62.5% (95% CI, 52%–73%) and a specificity of 90% (95% CI, 80%–96%) compared with the gold-standard tumor tissue–based detection of TERT mutations. Upon longitudinal monitoring in 5 patients, we report that peripheral TERT-mutant allele frequency reflects the clinical course of the disease, with levels decreasing after surgical intervention and therapy and increasing with tumor progression. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate the feasibility of detecting circulating cfDNA TERT promoter mutations in patients with glioma with clinically relevant sensitivity and specificity.
