    Abstract: INTRODUCTION Although mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are associated with familial hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, mutations are only found in 20 to 25% of these patients. This suggests that additional genes may be mutated. The Casitas B-lineage lymphoma (CBL) gene encodes a RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase. Recent studies have shown that mutations in the CBL gene occurs in human acute myeloid leukemia and lung cancers. The relationship of the CBL gene with breast cancer, however, is not well characterized. The aim of this study was to identify mutations in the CBL gene in Asian patients with familial or early-onset breast cancer. METHODS All patients (n=75) were accrued at the risk assessment clinic at the National Cancer Centre Singapore, and presented with a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer or early-onset breast cancer. Screening for mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes was performed using Sanger sequencing and Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA). Next generation sequencing was done using the Agilent SureSelect target-enrichment technology on the Illumina MiSeq platform, followed by validation using Sanger sequencing. RESULTS Two mis-sense variants in the CBL gene were identified. They are CBL c. 560C & gt;T (p. A187V) and c. 1858C & gt;T (p.L620F) occurring in 2/75 (3%) and 8/75 (11%) of the patients, respectively. Both mis-sense mutations were predicted to be damaging using Polyphen-2 and SIFT. The p.A187V alteration was predicted to interrupt the N-terminal tyrosine kinase binding domain (TKB) that is important for ligand-induced ubiquitination of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). The CBL c. 1858C & gt;T variant has previously been reported in the NCBI database (rs2227988). Three individuals, who carried this mutation, had early-onset breast cancer. In addition, the p.L620F alteration within the proline-rich region, may disrupt the interactions of binding partners to the c-CBL protein, which are required to recruit c-CBL to RTKs. All patients, except one, with germline CBL mutations were negative for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. CONCLUSION This preliminary study has identified damaging CBL mutations in an Asian population with breast cancer and warrants further investigations in other breast cancer populations.

    Abstract: Epidermal growth factor receptor exon 20 insertion mutations (EGFRexon20ins) are detected in approximately 2% of patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Due to a lack of effective therapy, the prognosis of these patients is typically poor. Sunvozertinib (DZD9008) was designed as an oral, potent, irreversible, and selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, showing activity against EGFRexon20ins and other mutations. In both cell lines and xenograft models, sunvozertinib shows potent antitumor activity. In the two ongoing phase I clinical studies, sunvozertinib was tolerated up to 400 mg once daily. The most common drug-related adverse events included diarrhea and skin rash. Antitumor efficacy was observed at the doses of 100 mg and above in patients with EGFRexon20ins NSCLC across different subtypes, with prior amivantamab treatment as well as with baseline brain metastasis. The median duration of response has not been reached. Significance: We report the discovery and early clinical development of sunvozertinib, a potential treatment option for the unmet medical need of EGFRexon20ins NSCLC.

    Abstract: Purpose: MPT0L145 has been developed as a FGFR inhibitor exhibiting significant anti-bladder cancer activity in vitro and in vivo via promoting autophagy-dependent cell death. Here, we aim to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Experimental Design: Autophagy flux, morphology, and intracellular organelles were evaluated by Western blotting, transmission electron microscope, and fluorescence microscope. Molecular docking and surface plasmon resonance assay were performed to identify drug–protein interaction. Lentiviral delivery of cDNA or shRNA and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing was used to modulate gene expression. Mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate was measured by a Seahorse XFe24 extracellular flux analyzer, and ROS level was measured by flow cytometry. Results: MPT0L145 persistently increased incomplete autophagy and phase-lucent vacuoles at the perinuclear region, which were identified as enlarged and alkalinized late-endosomes. Screening of a panel of lipid kinases revealed that MPT0L145 strongly inhibits PIK3C3 with a Kd value of 0.53 nmol/L. Ectopic expression of PIK3C3 reversed MPT0L145-increased cell death and incomplete autophagy. Four residues (Y670, F684, I760, D761) at the ATP-binding site of PIK3C3 are important for the binding of MPT0L145. In addition, MPT0L145 promotes mitochondrial dysfunction, ROS production, and DNA damage, which may in part, contribute to cell death. ATG5-knockout rescued MPT0L145-induced cell death, suggesting simultaneous induction of autophagy is crucial to its anticancer activity. Finally, our data demonstrated that MPT0L145 is able to overcome cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer cells. Conclusions: MPT0L145 is a first-in-class PIK3C3/FGFR inhibitor, providing an innovative strategy to design new compounds that increase autophagy, but simultaneously perturb its process to promote bladder cancer cell death.

    Abstract: To assess the utility of the cobas EGFR Mutation Test, with tissue and plasma, for first-line osimertinib therapy for patients with EGFR-mutated (EGFRm; Ex19del and/or L858R) advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from the FLAURA study (NCT02296125). Experimental Design: Tumor tissue EGFRm status was determined at screening using the central cobas tissue test or a local tissue test. Baseline circulating tumor (ct)DNA EGFRm status was retrospectively determined with the central cobas plasma test. Results: Of 994 patients screened, 556 were randomized (289 and 267 with central and local EGFR test results, respectively) and 438 failed screening. Of those randomized from local EGFR test results, 217 patients had available central test results; 211/217 (97%) were retrospectively confirmed EGFRm positive by central cobas tissue test. Using reference central cobas tissue test results, positive percent agreements with cobas plasma test results for Ex19del and L858R detection were 79% [95% confidence interval (CI), 74–84] and 68% (95% CI, 61–75), respectively. Progression-free survival (PFS) superiority with osimertinib over comparator EGFR-TKI remained consistent irrespective of randomization route (central/local EGFRm-positive tissue test). In both treatment arms, PFS was prolonged in plasma ctDNA EGFRm-negative (23.5 and 15.0 months) versus -positive patients (15.2 and 9.7 months). Conclusions: Our results support utility of cobas tissue and plasma testing to aid selection of patients with EGFRm advanced NSCLC for first-line osimertinib treatment. Lack of EGFRm detection in plasma was associated with prolonged PFS versus patients plasma EGFRm positive, potentially due to patients having lower tumor burden.

    Abstract: Background: IMpower133 (NCT02763579), a global Phase I/III, randomized, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled trial, showed that the addition of atezo (anti-PD-L1) to CE for 1L ES-SCLC led to statistically and clinically significant OS and PFS improvement vs CE alone. Here we report updated OS and exploratory analyses. Methods: Pts with untreated ES-SCLC were randomized 1:1 to receive four 21-day cycles of E (100 mg/m2 IV, days 1-3) + C (AUC 5 mg/mL/min IV, day 1) with atezo (1200 mg IV, day 1) or PBO, followed by maintenance therapy with atezo or PBO until intolerable toxicity, progression or loss of clinical benefit. PD-L1 testing was not required for enrollment. Coprimary endpoints were investigator-assessed PFS (RECIST 1.1) and OS. Interim and final OS analyses were planned for ≈240 and ≈306 events, respectively. OS was significant at the interim analysis. Updated OS, exploratory biomarkers and patterns of disease progression were analyzed. Results: 201 and 202 pts were randomized to receive atezo+CE and PBO+CE, respectively. The median follow-up was 22.9 mo and 302 deaths had occurred. Median OS for the atezo and PBO arms was 12.3 and 10.3 mo, respectively (HR, 0.76 [95% CI: 0.60, 0.95]; descriptive P = 0.0154). At the 18-mo landmark, the OS rate was 13% higher with atezo+CE than with PBO+CE (Table). Exploratory analyses showed treatment benefit with atezo+CE regardless of biomarker status. 181 (90.0%) And 194 (96.0%) pts in the atezo+CE and PBO+CE arms, respectively, had RECIST-defined disease progression. Progression at existing, new or existing and new lesions was numerically lower with atezo+CE than with PBO+CE. Common sites of new lesions included the CNS, lung, lymph node and liver, with similar incidences between arms. Conclusion: Adding atezo to CE continued to provide OS improvement for 1L ES-SCLC in an all-comer population. The updated results of IMpower133 further support this regimen for untreated ES-SCLC.

    Abstract: Current clinical trials of combined EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies show no additional effect. This raises questions regarding whether EGFR-TKIs attenuate ICB-enhanced CD8+ T lymphocyte function. Here we show that the EGFR-TKI afatinib suppresses CD8+ T lymphocyte proliferation, and we identify CAD, a key enzyme of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, to be a novel afatinib target. Afatinib reduced tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte numbers in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC)–bearing mice. Early afatinib treatment inhibited CD8+ T lymphocyte proliferation in patients with non–small cell lung cancer, but their proliferation unexpectedly rebounded following long-term treatment. This suggests a transient immunomodulatory effect of afatinib on CD8+ T lymphocytes. Sequential treatment of afatinib with anti-PD1 immunotherapy substantially enhanced therapeutic efficacy in MC38 and LLC-bearing mice, while simultaneous combination therapy showed only marginal improvement over each single treatment. These results suggest that afatinib can suppress CD8+ T lymphocyte proliferation by targeting CAD, proposing a timing window for combined therapy that may prevent the dampening of ICB efficacy by EGFR-TKIs. Significance: This study elucidates a mechanism of afatinib-mediated immunosuppression and provides new insights into treatment timing for combined targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

    Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the commonest and deadliest cancers worldwide with a striking gender prevalence observed in men. Androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-activated nuclear receptor that regulates the development of male sexual phenotype. Aberrant AR signaling, however, has detrimental consequences in the development of male-predominant cancers. Using genome-wide location analysis, we have recently uncovered cell cycle-related kinase (CCRK) as an AR direct transcriptional target that drives aberrant hepatocellular proliferation and tumorigenicity through β-catenin/T cell factor signaling (Feng et al. 2011). We also found that the Polycomb protein EZH2 promotes β-catenin-dependent hepatocarcinogenesis through concordant repression of Wnt antagonists via histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (Cheng et al. 2011). Recent studies have revealed the Polycomb-independent role of EZH2 in gene activation via AKT-mediated phosphorylation, however, the regulation and signaling network of EZH2 in HCC are poorly-understood. Here we show that the AR-regulated kinase CCRK activates a tumor-initiating circuitry by dual regulation of EZH2. Activation of CCRK phosphorylates glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) and AKT leading to transcriptional up-regulation and phosphorylation of EZH2 at Ser21 (pEZH2Ser9), respectively. pEZH2Ser9 in turn physically interacts with AR and cooperatively activate CCRK transcription via direct binding to the CCRK promoter, thus forming a feedback circuitry. In a chemical-induced murine HCC model, activation of the AR/CCRK/EZH2 regulatory loop precedes HCC formation, which is significantly reduced ( & gt;80%) by lentiviral-mediated knockdown of CCRK. In human HCC tissues, these proteins are highly up-regulated, starting from the adjacent precancerous liver tissues. Most importantly, hyper-activation of this loop is significantly associated with shorter overall (p & lt;0.0001) and disease-free survival rates (p & lt;0.01) of the HCC patients. This study not only advances our fundamental understanding of the gender disparity in HCC, but also provides a new paradigm for nuclear receptor regulation of cancer epigenome. Elucidating the detailed signaling network of AR/CCRK/EZH2 will lead to the discovery and development of targeted therapies tailored to inhibit cancer-specific pathways.

    Abstract: Background: Circulating tumor cells' (CTCs) presence in patient's peripheral circulation has been recognized as a useful tool of liquid biopsy for cancer treatment. In addition to enumeration, analysis of associated protein and molecular alterations offers great potential for precision medicine. MiSelect R was invented for purification and characterization of rare cells including CTC. This study evaluates MiSelect R analytic performances and validates with clinical samples. Methods: Lung cancer cell line H2228 was spiked into 8 mL of whole blood (16 cells/ 8mL) for single-cell retrieval, subsequent RT-PCR and sequencing analysis on ALK-translocation. Breast cancer cell lines, SKBr3 (high EpCAM expressing) and MDA-MB-231 (low EpCAM expressing), were spiked into 8mL whole blood from healthy subjects at various concentrations (4-1024 cells/ 8mL) for recovery rate and linearity. Experiments with low cell spikes (32 cells/ 8mL) vs. high cell spikes (1024 cells/ 8mL) were carried out to assess the within-device precision. The assay specificity was examined in blood of healthy subjects. Further evaluation was performed in metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients. Results: Spiked H2228 cells were retrieved with greater than 90% recovery rate and 70% purity from whole blood. Each retrieved single H2228 cell was confirmed to have ALK-EML4 translocation by RT-PCR and sequencing analysis. The detection ranges of 4 to 1024 SkBr3 and MDA-MB-231 cells per 8mL were confirmed to be linear with average recovery rate of 91% (R2 = 0.9949) and 70% (R2 = 0.9983), respectively. The within-device precision showed 9.23% and 7.82% CV for low cell spikes vs. high cell spikes. Great assay specificity was achieved with no CTC detected in healthy subjects (N = 42). 100% detection rate of CTC was achieved in untreated mBC patients and 47% for patients regardless of treatment history. Also, the HER2 score analyzed by MiSelect R in isolated CTCs was in agreement with that by IHC analysis. Nonetheless, the HER2 expression level was heterogeneous in the CTCs isolated from HER2-positive patients. Furthermore, the PD-L1 expression in CTCs was shown to be heterogeneous within and between cancer patients. Conclusion: The MiSelect R System showed excellent capability for single-cell retrieval of rare cells from whole blood. It also demonstrated outstanding analytic performances and clinical sensitivity for CTC detection as well as versatile capability for multiple-biomarker characterization. It potentially provides important cellular and molecular information at single-cell level from liquid biopsy for prognosis.

    Abstract: The cytogenetic biomarkers to monitor tumor progression and treatment efficacy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are lacking. There are few known prognostic biomarkers that limited to tumor vascularization. In almost all sporadic clear cell RCC (ccRCC), the VHL gene in either mutated or methylated form is inactivated and often involved in cellular oxygen homeostasis. Herein, we compared different subtypes of RCC: ccRCC, chromophobe RCC (CRCC), and sarcomatoid clear cell RCC (sccRCC) in culture by using SKY and CGH. In addition, cytofluorometric analysis was performed on these tumors to give an overall immunophenotyping profile of these RCCs. By comparison of genomic characteristics of these RCC subtypes, deletion of chromosome 3p has been frequently found in sporadic ccRCC; and more complex genetic patterns of the high frequencies losses of heterozygous on chromosomes 1p, 2p, 6p, 10p, 13q, 17q, and 21q have also been documented in CRCC. However, for the sarcomatoid RCC subtype, such characteristcs have rarely been studied so far. In the current study, the genetic profile of CRCC revealed by SKY was shown: 74-84 & lt;4n & gt; XXXX, dic(1;11)(p21;q21)×2, −3, −4, −4, der(10)(q21.1- qter), −11, −11, −18, −18, der(19)t(5;19)(q31;q?)×2, −21, −21[21] ; and SCCRCC cell line showed: 40-42 & lt;2n & gt;, X,-Y; der(2)t(2,3)(q35;q21); −3; +7,+7; der(14)(14;17)(p11;q12); −14; −15; −10; −22 [22], the data were then further confirmed by CGH for gene copy number changes of the certain specific chromosomal regions. However, for the CRCC, except loss of chromosome 21, most of genetic aberrations were different from the previous reports. On the other hand, the genetic features of current sccRCC seemed not only similar to the characteristic of ccRCC (deletion 3p), but also the genetic changes sharing the those of familial RCC (t(2;3)(q35;q21)) and papillary RCC (gain of chromosome 7 and 17, and loss of Y) documented previously. Cytofluorometric analysis revealed that there were immunophenotypic differences between CRCC and sccRCC in that surface HLA class I expression was found total loss in sccRCC, whereas CRCC expressed HLA class I abundantly on the cell surface. Furthermore, bcl-2 and URO-7 were detected in the cytoplasm of CRCC, but not in sccRCC. On the other hand, CD54 was shown on cell surface; AE3, CD44v6, Hsp70, S100-β, URO-2, URO-5, URO-9 on cell cytoplasm only observed on sccRCC. In conclusion, gain of chromosome 7 and the region harbored the oncogene c-Met were found in sccRCC, which could be related with the expression of pY1349 HGFR/c-Met associated with a high pT stage and a high metastasis rate. Therefore, it is worth to further investigate the role of c-Met and its ligand HGF in sccRCC tumorigenesis, and may help to develop clinical therapeutic strategies in sccRCC. Moreover, the immunobiological evidences clarified the significant profile of these subtypes, the information is useful on predicting the patients prognosis.

    Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of death in male cancer patients in Asia. PPARγ exhibited an inhibitory role in hepatocarcinogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Recently, it was found that honokiol functions not only as a RXR agonist but also a PPARγ agonist, and is capable of potentiating the activation of PPARγ in the presence of PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone in HLE human hepatoma cells. It also has been reported that honokiol exerts inhibitory effects on the growth and migration in hepatoma cells. However, whether PPARγ overexpression modulates the honokiol-induced growth inhibition in hepatoma cells is not known. Firstly, we examined the expression of PPARγ in tumor samples from 83 HCC patients by immunohistochemical staining. Our results showed that 53 samples had no PPARγ and the clinical parameters including tumor number, stages, and macroscopic vascular invasion (MVI) showed significant negative correlation with PPARγ expression. However, the expression of PPARγ was not associated with disease free survival or overall survival of patients with HCC. Using PPARγ overexpressed SK-Hep1 cells (SK-Hep1-PPARγ) for in vitro analyses, we found that 40 μM honokiol treatment of SK-Hep1-PPARγ cells induced a 20% increase of growth inhibition at 48 hour as compared to vector control cells by MTT assay. This corresponded well with the 15% increase in G0/G1 phase after honokiol treatment at 24 hour compared to vector control cells. In addition, honokiol treatment resulted in decreased cyclin D1, increased p21 and KLF4 expressions in SK-Hep1-PPARγ cells. Moreover, miRNA array analyses showed that increased expression of miR-222, let-7i, miR-628-3p and miR-664 as well as decreased miR-1291, miR184 and miR1249 were observed in SK-Hep1-PPARγ cells. In conclusion, PPARγ is not only a biomarker for prognosis of patients with HCC but also play an important role in the honokiol-induced growth inhibition of hepatoma cells. The functional importance of PPARγ regulated miRNA is currently under further investigation.
