  • Supporting Information
    Supporting Information Pouryahya et al. SI Text Table S1 presents genes with the highest absolute value of Ricci curvature. We expect these genes to have significant contribution to the network’s robustness. Notably, the top two genes are TP53 (tumor protein 53) and YWHAG gene. TP53, also known as p53, it is a well known tumor suppressor gene known as the "guardian of the genome“ given the essential role it plays in genetic stability and prevention of cancer formation (1, 2). Mutations in this gene play a role in all stages of malignant transformation including tumor initiation, promotion, aggressiveness, and metastasis (3). Mutations of this gene are present in more than 50% of human cancers, making it the most common genetic event in human cancer (4, 5). Namely, p53 mutations play roles in leukemia, breast cancer, CNS cancers, and lung cancers, among many others (6–9). The YWHAG gene encodes the 14-3-3 protein gamma, a member of the 14-3-3 family proteins which are involved in many biological processes including signal transduction regulation, cell cycle pro- gression, apoptosis, cell adhesion and migration (10, 11). Notably, increased expression of 14-3-3 family proteins, including protein gamma, have been observed in a number of human cancers including lung and colorectal cancers, among others, suggesting a potential role as tumor oncogenes (12, 13). Furthermore, there is evidence that loss Fig. S1. The histogram of scalar Ricci curvature of 8240 genes. Most of the genes have negative scalar Ricci curvature (75%). TP53 and YWHAG have notably low of p53 function may result in upregulation of 14-3-3γ in lung cancer Ricci curvatures.

  • Synergistic Inhibition of Erbb Signaling by Combined Treatment
    Cancer Therapy: Preclinical Synergistic Inhibition of ErbB Signaling by Combined Treatment with Seliciclib and ErbB-Targeting Agents IanN.Fleming,MoragHogben,SheelaghFrame,StevenJ.McClue,andSimonR.Green Abstract Purpose: The aims of this studywere to investigate whether the cyclin-dependent kinase inhi- bitor seliciclib could synergize with agents that target ErbB receptors and to elucidate the mole- cular mechanism of the observed synergy. Experimental Design: Synergy between seliciclib and ErbB receptor targeted agents was in- vestigated in various cell lines using the Calcusyn median effect model.The molecular mechanism of the observed synergy was studied in cultured cells, and the combination of seliciclib and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor erlotinib was evaluated in an H358 xenograft model. Results: Seliciclib synergized with the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab in a breast cancer cell line, which overexpresses the HER2 receptor, and with the erlotinib analogue AG1478 in non ^ small cell lung cancer cell lines. In the H358 non ^ small cell lung cancer cell line, synergy involved decreased signaling from the EGFR, with AG1478 directlyinhibiting kinase activitywhile seliciclib decreased the levels of keycomponents of the receptor signaling pathway,resulting in enhanced loss of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase and cyclin D1.The combination of seliciclib and erlotinib was evaluated further in an H358 xenograft and shown to be significantly more active than either agent alone. An enhanced loss of cyclin D1was also seen in vivo. Conclusions: This is the first report that investigates combining seliciclib with an EGFR inhibitor. The combination decreased signaling from the EGFR in vitro and in vivo and was effective in cell lines containing either wild-type or mutant EGFR, suggesting that it may expand the range of tumors that respond to erlotinib, and therefore, such combinations are worth exploring in the clinic.

  • New Directions for Emerging Therapies in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: the Next Chapter Naval Daver 1,Andrewh.Wei2, Daniel A
    Daver et al. Blood Cancer Journal (2020) 10:107 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41408-020-00376-1 Blood Cancer Journal REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access New directions for emerging therapies in acute myeloid leukemia: the next chapter Naval Daver 1,AndrewH.Wei2, Daniel A. Pollyea3,AmirT.Fathi4,PareshVyas 5 and Courtney D. DiNardo 1 Abstract Conventional therapy for acute myeloid leukemia is composed of remission induction with cytarabine- and anthracycline-containing regimens, followed by consolidation therapy, including allogeneic stem cell transplantation, to prolong remission. In recent years, there has been a significant shift toward the use of novel and effective, target- directed therapies, including inhibitors of mutant FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), the B-cell lymphoma 2 inhibitor venetoclax, and the hedgehog pathway inhibitor glasdegib. In older patients the combination of a hypomethylating agent or low-dose cytarabine, venetoclax achieved composite response rates that approximate those seen with standard induction regimens in similar populations, but with potentially less toxicity and early mortality. Preclinical data suggest synergy between venetoclax and FLT3- and IDH-targeted therapies, and doublets of venetoclax with inhibitors targeting these mutations have shown promising clinical activity in early stage trials. Triplet regimens involving the hypomethylating agent and venetoclax with FLT3 or IDH1/2 inhibitor, the TP53- modulating agent APR-246 and magrolimab, myeloid cell leukemia-1 inhibitors, or immune therapies such as CD123 antibody-drug conjugates and programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitors are currently being evaluated. It is hoped that such triplets, when applied in appropriate patient subsets, will further enhance remission rates, and more importantly remission durations and survival.
