    Abstract: Werner syndrome is a hereditary disorder characterized by the early onset of age-related symptoms, including cancer. The absence of a p53-WRN helicase interaction may disrupt the signal to direct S-phase cells into apoptosis for programmed cell death and contribute to the pronounced genomic instability and cancer predisposition in Werner syndrome cells. Results from coimmunoprecipitation studies indicate that WRN is associated with replication protein A (RPA) and p53 in vivo before and after treatment with the replication inhibitor hydroxyurea or γ-irradiation that introduces DNA strand breaks. Analysis of the protein interactions among purified recombinant WRN, RPA, and p53 proteins indicate that all three protein pairs bind with similar affinity in the low nanomolar range. In vitro studies show that p53 inhibits RPA-stimulated WRN helicase activity on an 849-bp M13 partial duplex substrate. p53 also inhibited WRN unwinding of a short (19-bp) forked duplex substrate in the absence of RPA. WRN unwinding of the forked duplex substrate was specific, because helicase inhibition mediated by p53 was retained in the presence of excess competitor DNA and was significantly reduced or absent in helicase reactions catalyzed by a WRN helicase domain fragment lacking the p53 binding site or the human RECQ1 DNA helicase, respectively. p53 effectively inhibited WRN helicase activity on model DNA substrate intermediates of replication/repair, a 5′ ssDNA flap structure and a synthetic replication fork. Regulation of WRN helicase activity by p53 is likely to play an important role in genomic integrity surveillance, a vital function in the prevention of tumor progression.

    Abstract: Sporadic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) develops into a lethal disease that has remained refractory to different treatment approaches including recent advances in cancer immunotherapy. Variations in host genetic status affecting the inflammatory microenvironment can impact cancer susceptibility, malignant progression and clinical outcomes. In this study, we present genetic evidence from mouse and human genetic studies supporting a role for IDO2, an immunometabolic modifier of B cell-mediated autoimmune responses, in promoting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In an established transgenic mouse model of KRAS-induced pancreatic cancer, IDO2 genetic inactivation markedly reduced malignant progression. In retrospective clinical analyses of PDAC patients (N=200), the biallelic occurrence of either of two inactivating polymorphisms in the IDO2 coding region trended with favorable disease-free survival. In PDAC tissues, an inactive IDO2 host genotype corresponded with changes in expression of genes involved in tryptophan catabolism and immune modulation, along with a reduced neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio. Notably, subset analysis revealed a striking association of inactive IDO2 status with improved disease-free survival in patients who had received adjuvant radiotherapy, a treatment modality that has been highly debated due to its variable efficacy in patients. Accordingly, our findings suggest that host IDO2 genetic status may offer a simple incisive marker to stratify PDAC patients who stand to gain the most from adjuvant radiotherapy, addressing the long-standing debate of its benefits.

    Abstract: Heritable genetic variations can affect the inflammatory tumor microenvironment, which can ultimately affect cancer susceptibility and clinical outcomes. Recent evidence indicates that IDO2, a positive modifier in inflammatory disease models, is frequently upregulated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). A unique feature of IDO2 in humans is the high prevalence of two inactivating single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), which affords the opportunity to carry out loss-of-function studies directly in humans. In this study, we sought to address whether genetic loss of IDO2 may influence PDAC development and responsiveness to treatment. Experimental Design: Transgenic Ido2+/+ and Ido2−/− mice in which oncogenic KRAS is activated in pancreatic epithelial cells were evaluated for PDAC. Two patient data sets (N = 200) were evaluated for the two IDO2-inactivating SNPs together with histologic, RNA expression, and clinical survival data. Results: PDAC development was notably decreased in the Ido2−/− mice (30% vs. 10%, P & lt; 0.05), with a female predominance similar to the association observed for one of the human SNPs. In patients, the biallelic occurrence of either of the two IDO2-inactivating SNPs was significantly associated with markedly improved disease-free survival in response to adjuvant radiotherapy (P & lt; 0.01), a treatment modality that has been highly debated due to its variable efficacy. Conclusions: The results of this study provide genetic support for IDO2 as a contributing factor in PDAC development and argue that IDO2 genotype analysis has the immediate potential to influence the PDAC care decision-making process through stratification of those patients who stand to benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy.

    Abstract: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients develop hundreds of premalignant polyps that progress to colorectal cancer due to a germline mutation in the APC tumor suppressor. Polyps from FAP patients uniquely facilitate interrogation of the continuum of malignant transformation from histologically normal mucosa to benign and dysplastic polyps and eventual adenocarcinomas. As part of the Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN), we performed multi-omic profiling, including whole genome sequencing, on 135 samples from six FAP patients across the pre-malignant continuum spanning all physical regions of the large intestine, and serving as the most comprehensive FAP dataset available. Through a comparative analysis with a published FAP cohort (58 multi-region samples across 5 patients) and sporadic colorectal cancer cohort (n=57), each including benign and malignant samples, we evaluate the timing of driver acquisitions at each stage of malignant progression. Despite being separated by vast regions of histologically normal mucosa, independently evolving polyps show extensive mutation sharing, suggesting FAP polyps are polyclonal in origin. Finally, we leverage a simplified mechanistic model of embryonic colonic development demonstrating that the path to malignant transformation in FAP is consistent with polyclonal origins attributable to early mixing, perhaps as early as in-utero. Taken together, the HTAN FAP Atlas provides a novel window into the earliest stages of cancer formation and may illuminate barriers to malignant transformation and opportunities for earlier intervention.

    Abstract: Broadly expressed, highly differentiated tumor-associated antigens (TAA) can elicit antitumor immunity. However, vaccines targeting TAAs have demonstrated disappointing clinical results, reflecting poor antigen selection and/or immunosuppressive mechanisms. Experimental Design: Here, a panel of widely expressed, novel colorectal TAAs were identified by performing RNA sequencing of highly purified colorectal tumor cells in comparison with patient-matched colonic epithelial cells; tumor cell purification was essential to reveal these genes. Candidate TAA protein expression was confirmed by IHC, and preexisting T-cell immunogenicity toward these antigens tested. Results: The most promising candidate for further development is DNAJB7 [DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B7], identified here as a novel cancer-testis antigen. It is expressed in many tumors and is strongly immunogenic in patients with cancers originating from a variety of sites. DNAJB7-specific T cells were capable of killing colorectal tumor lines in vitro, and the IFNγ+ response was markedly magnified by control of immunosuppression with cyclophosphamide in patients with cancer. Conclusions: This study highlights how prior methods that sequence whole tumor fractions (i.e., inclusive of alive/dead stromal cells) for antigen identification may have limitations. Through tumor cell purification and sequencing, novel candidate TAAs have been identified for future immunotherapeutic targeting.

    Abstract 650: MCIR1: A patient-derived ibrutinib-resistant mantle cell lymphoma line for the study of ibrutinib resistance and drug discovery

    Abstract: Constitutive activation of B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling is a major driving mechanism for the proliferation and survival of various B-cell lineage non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). Blocking BCR signaling using the first-in-class Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, ibrutinib, has proved effective and is currently FDA approved for the treatment of several B-cell lymphomas. Unfortunately, significant subsets of patients possess either primary or acquired resistance to ibrutinib, often resulting in worse prognosis and poorer responses to subsequent therapies. Therefore, overcoming ibrutinib resistance is an urgent clinical need requiring new tools to both delineate the molecular mechanisms of resistance and develop viable therapeutics. To that end, we developed a mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cell line, MCIR1, from a patient with clinically acquired ibrutinib resistance. MCIR1 is a bona fide MCL cell line featuring CD19+/CD5+/CD10-/CD23-/t(11;14)+/TP53+/-; and lacking the previously described mutations in BTK (C481S) and phospholipase C-gamma-2 (R665W, L845F). Importantly, MCIR1 cells possess hallmarks of ibrutinib resistance, including the insensitivity of ERK1/2 phosphorylation to ibrutinib in vitro, and the irresponsiveness of MCIR1 xenograft tumors to ibrutinib treatment in mice as compared with ibrutinib-sensitive Jeko-1 tumors. To delineate the molecular mechanism(s) of ibrutinib resistance, we identified by RNA-Seq analysis that MCIR1 cells possess robust activity of the non-canonical NFkB pathway and elevated expression of NFkB target genes, suggesting that this pathway likely drives their resistance to ibrutinib. Finally, we demonstrated the utility of MCIR1 as a tool for testing new drugs to combat ibrutinib resistance in vitro by showing its sensitivity to the anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) protein inhibitor, venetoclax. To our knowledge, MCIR1 is the first patient-derived ibrutinib-resistant cell line to be established. Hence, MCIR1 is especially useful because uniquely possesses the relevant clinical and biological features of patients with ibrutinib-resistant MCL. We propose MCIR1 as a tool to further the understanding of molecular mechanisms conferring ibrutinib resistance by providing a clinically relevant system with the capacity for molecular and genetic manipulations. Further, these features make MCIR1 an ideal model to screen drugs for combating ibrutinib resistance through both in vivo and in vitro approaches. Citation Format: Kevin E. Nowakowski, Jithma P.

    Abstract: Purpose: The initiation, progression, and maintenance of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) results from the interplay of genetic and epigenetic events. While the genetic alterations of PDAC have been well characterized, epigenetic pathways regulating PDAC remain, for the most part, elusive. The goal of this study was to identify novel epigenetic regulators contributing to the biology of PDAC. Experimental Design: In vivo pooled shRNA screens targeting 118 epigenetic proteins were performed in two orthotopic PDAC xenograft models. Candidate genes were characterized in 19 human PDAC cell lines, heterotopic xenograft tumor models, and a genetically engineered mouse (GEM) model of PDAC. Gene expression, IHC, and immunoprecipitation experiments were performed to analyze the pathways by which candidate genes contribute to PDAC. Results: In vivo shRNA screens identified BRD2 and BRD3, members of the BET family of chromatin adaptors, as key regulators of PDAC tumor growth. Pharmacologic inhibition of BET bromodomains enhanced survival in a PDAC GEM model and inhibited growth of human-derived xenograft tumors. BET proteins contribute to PDAC cell growth through direct interaction with members of the GLI family of transcription factors and modulating their activity. Within cancer cells, BET bromodomain inhibition results in downregulation of SHH, a key mediator of the tumor microenvironment and canonical activator of GLI. Consistent with this, inhibition of BET bromodomains decreases cancer-associated fibroblast content of tumors in both GEM and xenograft tumor models. Conclusions: Therapeutic inhibition of BET proteins offers a novel mechanism to target both the neoplastic and stromal components of PDAC. Clin Cancer Res; 22(16); 4259–70. ©2016 AACR.
