Tumor Heterogeneity and Plasticity As Elusive Drivers for Resistance to MAPK Pathway Inhibition in Melanoma Oncogene (2015) 34, 2951–2957 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/15 www.nature.com/onc REVIEW Tumor heterogeneity and plasticity as elusive drivers for resistance to MAPK pathway inhibition in melanoma A Roesch Despite the recent success of MAPK signaling-targeted drugs in melanoma, the majority of patients with metastatic melanoma still undergo disease progression after initial tumor shrinkage indicating gradually developing therapy resistance. This review will give an overview on currently suggested concepts of resistance to MAPK pathway inhibitors in melanoma with particular focus on inter- and intraindividual as well as intratumor heterogeneity. The high plasticity of melanoma cells promotes both the clonal evolution of genetic resistance, for example, because of mutations in the MAPK or PI3K/AKT/PTEN pathways, and the emergence of cell phenotypes that functionally and metabolically overcome MAPK inhibition. Like a ‘moving target’, melanoma cells are shifting between different metabolic, cell cycle and differentiation states reflecting a highly dynamic potential to adapt to exogenous stressors including drugs. The introduction of MAPK inhibitors into the clinics has tremendously pushed the field of melanoma research not just because of the historic therapeutic success but also by providing a new tool to study human melanoma in its natural microenvironment. Oncogene (2015) 34, 2951–2957; doi:10.1038/onc.2014.249; published online 11 August 2014 INTRODUCTION when applied to patients.

A recent phase I/II trial suggests that the median interventions have failed to increase survival rates of stage IV progression-free survival in the combination group (9.4 months) could be improved by approximately 3.6 months as compared patients in randomized clinical trials. Recent phase III trials with 7 MAPK pathway-targeted drugs showed significant improvements with the monotherapy group (5.8 months). But also here, in progression-free survival and also overall survival when development of resistance has been observed with a delay of a compared with the former therapeutic standard dacarbazine.2 few months (see below).

  • ROS Production Induced by BRAF Inhibitor Treatment Rewires
    Cesi et al. Molecular Cancer (2017) 16:102 DOI 10.1186/s12943-017-0667-y RESEARCH Open Access ROS production induced by BRAF inhibitor treatment rewires metabolic processes affecting cell growth of melanoma cells Giulia Cesi, Geoffroy Walbrecq, Andreas Zimmer, Stephanie Kreis*† and Claude Haan† Abstract Background: Most melanoma patients with BRAFV600E positive tumors respond well to a combination of BRAF kinase and MEK inhibitors. However, some patients are intrinsically resistant while the majority of patients eventually develop drug resistance to the treatment. For patients insufficiently responding to BRAF and MEK inhibitors, there is an ongoing need for new treatment targets. Cellular metabolism is such a promising new target line: mutant BRAFV600E has been shown to affect the metabolism. Methods: Time course experiments and a series of western blots were performed in a panel of BRAFV600E and BRAFWT/ NRASmut human melanoma cells, which were incubated with BRAF and MEK1 kinase inhibitors. siRNA approaches were used to investigate the metabolic players involved. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured by confocal microscopy and AZD7545, an inhibitor targeting PDKs (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase) was tested. Results: We show that inhibition of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway induces phosphorylation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase PDH-E1α subunit in BRAFV600E and in BRAFWT/NRASmut harboring cells. Inhibition of BRAF, MEK1 and siRNA knock-down of ERK1/2 mediated phosphorylation of PDH. siRNA-mediated knock-down of all PDKs or the use of DCA (a pan-PDK inhibitor) abolished PDH-E1α phosphorylation. BRAF inhibitor treatment also induced the upregulation of ROS, concomitantly with the induction of PDH phosphorylation.

In the eukaryotic system, the TCA cycle occurs completely in mitochondria, while the intermediates of the TCA cycle are retained inside mitochondria due to their polarity and hydrophilicity. Under cell stress conditions, mitochondria can become disrupted and release their contents, which act as danger signals in the cytosol. Of note, the TCA cycle intermediates may also leak from dysfunctioning mitochondria and regulate cellular processes. Increasing evidence shows that the metabolites of the TCA cycle are substantially involved in the regulation of immune responses. In this review, we aimed to provide a comprehensive systematic overview of the molecular mechanisms of each TCA cycle intermediate that may play key roles in regulating cellular immunity in cell stress and discuss its implication for immune activation and suppression.

  • Upregulation of SLC2A3 Gene and Prognosis in Colorectal Carcinoma
    Kim et al. BMC Cancer (2019) 19:302 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-019-5475-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Upregulation of SLC2A3 gene and prognosis in colorectal carcinoma: analysis of TCGA data Eunyoung Kim1†, Sohee Jung2†, Won Seo Park3, Joon-Hyop Lee4, Rumi Shin5, Seung Chul Heo5, Eun Kyung Choe6, Jae Hyun Lee7, Kwangsoo Kim2* and Young Jun Chai5* Abstract Background: Upregulation of SLC2A genes that encode glucose transporter (GLUT) protein is associated with poor prognosis in many cancers. In colorectal cancer, studies reporting the association between overexpression of GLUT and poor clinical outcomes were flawed by small sample sizes or subjective interpretation of immunohistochemical staining. Here, we analyzed mRNA expressions in all 14 SLC2A genes and evaluated the association with prognosis in colorectal cancer using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Methods: In the present study, we analyzed the expression of SLC2A genes in colorectal cancer and their association with prognosis using data obtained from the TCGA for the discovery sample, and a dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus for the validation sample. Results: SLC2A3 was significantly associated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in both the discovery sample (345 patients) and validation sample (501 patients). High SLC2A3 expression resulted in shorter OS and DFS. In multivariate analyses, high SLC2A3 levels predicted unfavorable OS (adjusted HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.22–3.11; P = 0.005) and were associated with poor DFS (adjusted HR 1.85, 95% CI 1.10–3.12; P = 0.02). Similar results were found in the discovery set.

  • PKD3 Promotes Metastasis and Growth of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Through Positive Feedback Regulation with PD-L1 and Activation of ERK-STAT1/3-EMT Signalling
    International Journal of Oral Science www.nature.com/ijos ARTICLE OPEN PKD3 promotes metastasis and growth of oral squamous cell carcinoma through positive feedback regulation with PD-L1 and activation of ERK-STAT1/3-EMT signalling Bomiao Cui1, Jiao Chen1, Min Luo 1, Yiying Liu1, Hongli Chen1, Die Lü1, Liwei Wang1, Yingzhu Kang1, Yun Feng1, Libin Huang2 and Ping Zhang1 Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has a high incidence of metastasis. Tumour immunotherapy targeting PD-L1 or PD-1 has been revolutionary; however, only a few patients with OSCC respond to this treatment. Therefore, it is essential to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the growth and metastasis of OSCC. In this study, we analysed the expression levels of protein kinase D3 (PKD3) and PD-L1 and their correlation with the expression of mesenchymal and epithelial markers. We found that the expression of PKD3 and PD-L1 in OSCC cells and tissues was significantly increased, which correlated positively with that of mesenchymal markers but negatively with that of epithelial markers. Silencing PKD3 significantly inhibited the growth, metastasis and invasion of OSCC cells, while its overexpression promoted these processes. Our further analyses revealed that there was positive feedback regulation between PKD3 and PD-L1, which could drive EMT of OSCC cells via the ERK/STAT1/3 pathway, thereby promoting tumour growth and metastasis. Furthermore, silencing PKD3 significantly inhibited the expression of PD-L1, and lymph node metastasis of OSCC was investigated with a mouse footpad xenograft model. Thus, our findings provide a 1234567890();,: theoretical basis for targeting PKD3 as an alternative method to block EMT for regulating PD-L1 expression and inhibiting OSCC growth and metastasis.

  • Inactivation of the HIF-1A/PDK3 Signaling Axis Drives Melanoma Toward Mitochondrial Oxidative Metabolism and Potentiates the Therapeutic Activity of Pro-Oxidants
    Published OnlineFirst August 3, 2012; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-12-0979 Cancer Therapeutics, Targets, and Chemical Biology Research Inactivation of the HIF-1a/PDK3 Signaling Axis Drives Melanoma toward Mitochondrial Oxidative Metabolism and Potentiates the Therapeutic Activity of Pro-Oxidants Jerome Kluza1, Paola Corazao-Rozas1, Yasmine Touil1, Manel Jendoubi1, Cyril Maire1, Pierre Guerreschi1, Aurelie Jonneaux1, Caroline Ballot1,Stephane Balayssac4, Samuel Valable2,3, Aurelien Corroyer-Dulmont2,3, Myriam Bernaudin2,3, Myriam Malet-Martino4, Elisabeth Martin de Lassalle1, Patrice Maboudou5, Pierre Formstecher1, Renata Polakowska1, Laurent Mortier1, and Philippe Marchetti1,5 Abstract Cancer cells can undergo a metabolic reprogramming from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis that allows them to adapt to nutrient-poor microenvironments, thereby imposing a selection for aggressive variants. However, the mechanisms underlying this reprogramming are not fully understood. Using complementary approaches in validated cell lines and freshly obtained human specimens, we report here that mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation are slowed in metastatic melanomas, even under normoxic conditions due to the persistence of a high nuclear expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1a (HIF-1a). Pharmacologic or genetic blockades of the HIF-1a pathway decreased glycolysis and promoted mitochondrial respiration via specific reduction in the expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-3 (PDK3). Inhibiting PDK3 activity by dichloroacetate (DCA) or siRNA-mediated attenuation was sufficient to increase pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, oxidative phosphorylation, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation. Notably, DCA potentiated the antitumor effects of elesclomol, a pro-oxidative drug currently in clinical development, both by limiting cell proliferation and promoting cell death. Interestingly, this combination was also effective against BRAF V600E-mutant melanoma cells that were resistant to the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib.
