Overcoming erlotinib resistance with tailored treatment regimen in patient‐derived xenografts from naïve Asian NSCLC patients

Overall benefits of EGFR‐TKIs are limited because these treatments are largely only for adenocarcinoma (ADC) with EGFR activating mutation. The treatments also usually lead to development of resistances. We have established a panel of patient‐derived xenografts (PDXs) from treatment naïve Asian NSCLC patients, including those containing “classic” EGFR activating mutations. Some of these EGFR‐mutated PDXs do not respond to erlotinib: LU1868 containing L858R/T790M mutations, and LU0858 having L858R mutation as well as c‐MET gene amplification, both squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Treatment of LU0858 with crizotinib, a small molecule inhibitor for ALK and c‐MET, inhibited tumor growth and c‐MET activity. Combination of erlotinib and crizotinib caused complete response, indicating the activation of both EGFR and c‐MET promote its growth/survival. LU2503 and LU1901, both with wild‐type EGFR and c‐MET gene amplification, showed complete response to crizotinib alone, suggesting that c‐MET gene amplification, not EGFR signaling, is the main oncogenic driver. Interestingly, LU1868 with the EGFR L858R/T790M, but without c‐met amplification, had a complete response to cetuximab. Our data offer novel practical approaches to overcome the two most common resistances to EGFR‐TKIs seen in the clinic using marketed target therapies.     

肺癌驱动基因与非小细胞肺癌生存关系的相关性研究

目的探讨非小细胞肺癌驱动基因EGFR、KRAS、BRAF、PIK3CA、ALK、MET、HER-2、RET、ROS-1与患者预后相关性,寻找更有效防治分子靶标。方法利用Kaplan-Meier(KM)plotter在线数据库分析EGFR、KRAS、BRAF、PIK3CA、ALK、MET、HER-2、RET、ROS-1表达与非小细胞肺癌患者总生存期(overall survival OS),性别与吸烟状态等参数的相关性,并得出相应的危险比(Hazard ratio,HR)、95%置信区间(CI)和P值。结果研究结果显示:高表达EGFR、BRAF、MET、RET、ROS-1的患者有较好的OS。进一步引入吸烟状态和性别参数显示,BRAF、MET,PIK3CA、HER-2、ALK的表达与患者的吸烟状态存在相关性(P<0.05)。BRAF、MET、EGFR、ALK表达与OS的相关性存在性别差异(P<0.05)。结论各驱动基因在患者预后评判中既是独立因素,又相互作用,吸烟状态与性别也是决定患者预后的关键因素,提示临床治疗时要对患者进行综合的评判,要进行多基因的共同分析、多靶点的联合治疗才能使病人获得更大的收益。     

Association of EGFR mutation or ALK rearrangement with expression of DNA repair and synthesis genes in never‐smoker women with pulmonary adenocarcinoma

BACKGROUND:

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement may predict the outcome of targeted drug therapy and also are associated with the efficacy of chemotherapy in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The authors of this report investigated the relation of EGFR mutation or ALK rearrangement status and the expression of DNA repair or synthesis genes, including excision repair cross‐complementing 1 (ERCC1), ribonucleotide reductase subunit M1 (RRM1), thymidylate synthetase (TS), and breast cancer‐early onset (BRCA1), as a potential explanation for these observations.

METHODS:

In total, 104 resected lung adenocarcinomas from women who were nonsmokers were analyzed concurrently for EGFR mutations, ALK rearrangements, and mRNA expression of the ERCC1, RRM1, TS, and BRCA1 genes. EGFR mutations were detected with a proprietary detection kit, ALK rearrangements were detected by polymerase chain reaction analysis, and genetic mRNA expression was detected by real‐time polymerase chain reaction analysis.

RESULTS:

Of 104 patients, 73 (70.2%) had EGFR mutations, and 10 (9.6%) had ALK rearrangements. ERCC1 mRNA levels in patients who had EGFR mutations were 3.44 ± 1.94 × 10^?3, which were significantly lower than the levels in patients who were positive for ALK rearrangements and in patients who were negative for both biomarkers (4.60 ± 1.95 × 10^?3 and 4.95 ± 2.33 × 10^?3, respectively; P = .010). However, TS mRNA levels were significantly lower in patients who had EGFR mutations (1.15 ± 1.38 × 10^?3 vs 2.69 ± 3.97 × 10^?3; P = .006) or ALK rearrangements (1.21 ± 0.78 × 10^?3 vs 2.69 ± 3.97 × 10^?3; P = .020) than in patients who were negative for both biomarkers.

CONCLUSIONS:

NSCLC specimens that harbored activating EGFR mutations were more likely to express low ERCC1 and TS mRNA levels, whereas patients with NSCLC who had ALK rearrangement were more likely to express low TS mRNA levels. Cancer 2012. © 2012 American Cancer Society.

Genomic Landscape of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in East Asia Using Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) in Clinical Practice

Plasma-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) has demonstrated the potential to guide the personalized treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Inherent differences in mutational genomic profiles of NSCLC exist between Asian and Western populations. However, the published mutational genomic data of NSCLC has largely focused on Western populations. We retrospectively analyzed results from comprehensive NGS of plasma (Guardant360^®) from patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC, as seen in clinical practice. Tests were ordered between January 2016 and December 2020 in Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Southeast Asia. The assay identified single-nucleotide variants (SNV), insertions and deletions, and fusions and amplifications in 74 genes. In total, 1608 plasma samples from patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC were tested. The median turnaround time for test results was 7 days. Of the samples with detectable ctDNA (85.6%), 68.3% had alterations in at least one NCCN-recommended NSCLC biomarker. EGFR driver mutations were most frequent (48.6%), followed by alterations of KRAS (7.9%), ERBB2 (4.1%) and ALK (2.5%). Co-mutations of EGFR and KRAS occurred in 4.7% of samples. KRAS G12C was identified in 18.6% of all samples with KRAS mutations. Common mutations, such as exon 19 deletions and L858R, accounted for 88.4% of EGFR driver mutations. Among the samples with any EGFR driver mutation, T790M was present in 36.9%, including 7.7% with additional alterations associated with osimertinib resistance (MET amplification, C797X). Comprehensive plasma-based NGS provided the timely and clinically informative mutational genomic profiling of advanced non-squamous NSCLC in East Asian patients.     

c-MET通路和抑制剂在非小细胞肺癌中的研究进展

c-MET被认为是继表皮生长因子受体(epidermal growth factor receptor,EGFR)基因突变和间变性淋巴瘤激酶(anaplastic lymphoma kinase,ALK)基因融合之后,非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer,NSCLC)又一个重要的驱动基因.MET的激活包括突变、扩增和蛋白质过表达,是NSCLC潜在的治疗靶点,并提示与预后相关.临床证据表明,MET既可以作为肺癌的原发致癌驱动基因,也是EGFR靶向治疗获得性耐药的原因之一.本文主要对c-MET通路在NSCLC中的活性形式及治疗的研究进展进行综述.     

MET gene amplification or EGFR mutation activate MET in lung cancers untreated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors

We analyzed MET protein and copy number in NSCLC with or without EGFR mutations untreated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). MET copy number was examined in 28 NSCLC and 4 human bronchial epithelial cell lines (HBEC) and 100 primary tumors using quantitative real‐time PCR. Positive results were confirmed by array comparative genomic hybridization and fluorescence in‐situ hybridization. Total and phospho‐MET protein expression was determined in 24 NSCLC and 2 HBEC cell lines using Western blot. EGFR mutations were examined for exon 19 deletions, T790M, and L858R. Knockdown of EGFR with siRNA was performed to examine the relation between EGFR and MET activation. High‐level MET amplification was observed in 3 of 28 NSCLC cell lines and in 2 of 100 primary lung tumors that had not been treated with EGFR‐TKIs. MET protein was highly expressed and phosphorylated in all the 3 cell lines with high MET amplification. In contrast, 6 NSCLC cell lines showed phospho‐MET among 21 NSCLC cell lines without MET amplification (p = 0.042). Furthermore, those 6 cell lines harboring phospho‐MET expression without MET amplification were all EGFR mutant (p = 0.0039). siRNA‐mediated knockdown of EGFR abolished phospho‐MET expression in examined 3 EGFR mutant cell lines of which MET gene copy number was not amplified. By contrast, phospho‐MET expression in 2 cell lines with amplified MET gene was not down‐regulated by knockdown of EGFR. Our results indicated that MET amplification was present in untreated NSCLC and EGFR mutation or MET amplification activated MET protein in NSCLC. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.     

Receptor ligand-triggered resistance to alectinib and its circumvention by Hsp90 inhibition in EML4-ALK lung cancer cells

Alectinib is a new generation ALK inhibitor with activity against the gatekeeper L1196M mutation that showed remarkable activity in a phase I/II study with echinoderm microtubule associated protein-like 4 (EML4) - anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, alectinib resistance may eventually develop. Here, we found that EGFR ligands and HGF, a ligand of the MET receptor, activate EGFR and MET, respectively, as alternative pathways, and thereby induce resistance to alectinib. Additionally, the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor suppressed protein expression of ALK, MET, EGFR, and AKT, and thereby induced apoptosis in EML4-ALK NSCLC cells, even in the presence of EGFR ligands or HGF. These results suggest that Hsp90 inhibitors may overcome ligand-triggered resistance to new generation ALK inhibitors and may result in more successful treatment of NSCLC patients with EML4-ALK.     

Quelle plateforme pour prendre en charge de façon personnalisée le cancer bronchique ?

Considerable progress has been achieved in the understanding of lung cancer biology. Molecular driver mutations have been identified and different targeted therapies have been developed. Thus, the management of small size biopsies is essential and needs a strong collaboration between the different medical partners, particularly pulmonologist, pathologist, molecular biologist and oncologist. The aim is to optimise histological and molecular analyses allowing patients access to novel biotherapies. The French National Cancer Institute set up platforms for molecular genetics at university hospitals with expertise in molecular and pathological analysis. Mutational status of EGFR is analyzed routinely in non-small lung cancer. Treatment with EGFR inhibitors as first line therapy is limited to lung cancer patients harboring an EGFR mutation. More recently, ALK rearrangements have been identified as a rare driver mutation in lung cancer. Crizotinib, an ALK inhibitor is a new therapeutic standard in ALK rearranged tumors. Other biomarkers as RAS, BRAF, HER2 or PIK3CA have potential clinical relevance with possible approval of novel tailored treatment and will be discussed in this report. The project "BIOMARQUEURS France" will underscore the results of the French platform of more than 15 000 French patients.     

Combined EGFR/MET or EGFR/HSP90 inhibition is effective in the treatment of lung cancers codriven by mutant EGFR containing T790M and MET

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) that target the EGF receptor (EGFR) are effective in most non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients whose tumors harbor activating EGFR kinase domain mutations. Unfortunately, acquired resistance eventually emerges in these chronically treated cancers. Two of the most common mechanisms of acquired resistance to TKIs seen clinically are the acquisition of a secondary "gatekeeper" T790M EGFR mutation that increases the affinity of mutant EGFR for ATP and activation of MET to offset the loss of EGFR signaling. Although up to one-third of patient tumors resistant to reversible EGFR TKIs harbor concurrent T790M mutation and MET amplification, potential therapies for these tumors have not been modeled in vivo. In this study, we developed a preclinical platform to evaluate potential therapies by generating transgenic mouse lung cancer models expressing EGFR-mutant Del19-T790M or L858R-T790M, each with concurrent MET overexpression. We found that monotherapy targeting EGFR or MET alone did not produce significant tumor regression. In contrast, combination therapies targeting EGFR and MET simultaneously were highly efficacious against EGFR TKI-resistant tumors codriven by Del19-T790M or L858R-T790M and MET. Our findings therefore provide an in vivo model of intrinsic resistance to reversible TKIs and offer preclinical proof-of-principle that combination targeting of EGFR and MET may benefit patients with NSCLC.     

ERCC1 expression by immunohistochemistry and EGFR mutations in resected non-small cell lung cancer

Expression of excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) is important for resistance to platinum agents. Mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are related to the responsiveness to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study was performed to determine if ERCC1 expression and EGFR are related to the prognosis of resected NSCLC, and to determine if ERCC1 expression and EGFR mutations are related. We used immunohistochemistry (IHC) to evaluate ERCC1 expression in tumors from 130 patients with curatively resected NSCLC. The median H-score was used as a cut-off for ERCC1 IHC. EGFR mutations were analyzed in exons 18, 19 and 21. ERCC1 expression was detected in tumors from 80 patients (61.5%). ERCC1 was expressed more frequently in smokers and in squamous cell carcinomas. Patients with a positive ERCC1 expression survived longer than ERCC1-negative patients (median overall survival 7.6 years for ERCC1-positive vs. 4.0 years for ERCC1-negative, P=0.046). Subsequent multivariate analysis suggested that ERCC1 expression is an independent prognostic marker of longer survival (hazard ratio: 0.598, 95% confidence interval: 0.357-1.001). EGFR mutations were found in 25 patients (19.2%) but did not affect overall survival. Interestingly, EGFR mutations were more frequent in ERCC1-negative tumors (12.5% in ERCC1-positive vs. 30% in ERCC1-negative tumors, P=0.014). In conclusion, ERCC1 expression was identified as a positive prognostic marker in resected NSCLC. In addition, EGFR mutations were more frequently found in ERCC1-negative tumors.     

Genotype-driven therapies for non-small cell lung cancer: focus on EGFR, KRAS and ALK gene abnormalities

Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) are heterogeneous cancers. In 2004, the identification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) somatic mutations provided the first glimpse of a clinically relevant NSCLC oncogene. Approximately 70% of NSCLCs with EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletions or the exon 21 L858R) attain responses to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) gefitinib and erlotinib, with improved response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS) and in some reports overall survival (OS) when compared with EGFR wildtype (WT) cases. Three randomized trials of gefitinib versus chemotherapy (IPASS, WJTOG3405, NEJ002) in stage IV NSCLC have consistently demonstrated better RR and PFS (hazard ratios of 0.48 [IPASS], 0.49 [WJTOG3405] and 0.30 [NEJ002]) for EGFR-mutated NSCLCs treated with gefitinib. Novel irreversible EGFR TKIs (afatinib, XL647, PF00299804) show similar activity in EGFR-mutated patients. A translocation involving the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene with EML4, identified in 2007, is the most recent oncogene found in NSCLC. Crizotinib (PF02341066), an ALK TKI, has shown impressive activity against ALK translocated NSCLC in an expanded cohort of a phase I trial (NCT00585195). Over 80 patients have been treated and the RR is ～60% with the 6-month PFS rate exceeding 70%. A registration phase III trial of crizotinib versus second-line chemotherapy (pemetrexed/docetaxel) is underway (PROFILE 1007, NCT00932893). KRAS, EGFR mutations and ALK translocations are mutually exclusive and few EGFR WT NSCLCs respond to EGFR TKIs. The promising results of EGFR and ALK TKIs in molecular subgroups of NSCLCs herald a new age of drug and clinical trial development for patients with NSCLC.

The Role of MET Receptor Tyrosine Kinase in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer and Clinical Development of Targeted Anti‐MET Agents

A better understanding of the pathophysiology and evolution of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has identified a number of molecular targets and spurred development of novel targeted therapeutic agents. The MET receptor tyrosine kinase and its ligand hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) are implicated in tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis in a broad spectrum of human cancers, including NSCLC. Amplification of MET has been reported in approximately 5%–22% of lung tumors with acquired resistance to small‐molecule inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Resistance to EGFR inhibitors is likely mediated through downstream activation of the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase /AKT pathway. Simultaneous treatment of resistant tumors with a MET inhibitor plus an EGFR inhibitor can abrogate activation of downstream effectors of cell growth, proliferation, and survival, thereby overcoming acquired resistance to EGFR inhibitors. Development and preclinical testing of multiple agents targeting the HGF–MET pathway, including monoclonal antibodies targeting HGF or the MET receptor and small‐molecule inhibitors of the MET tyrosine kinase, have confirmed the crucial role of this pathway in NSCLC. Several agents are now in phase III clinical development for the treatment of NSCLC. This review summarizes the role of MET in the pathophysiology of NSCLC and in acquired resistance to EGFR inhibitors and provides an update on progress in the clinical development of inhibitors of MET for treatment of NSCLC.

Abstract：

Objective To evaluate the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene copy number and the expression of ERCC1 and BRCA1 proteins in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the correlation between them. Methods The status of EGFR gene copy number was determined by in situ hybridization (FISH), and the expression of ERCC1 and BRCC1 proteins was examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The relationship of EGFR gene copy number with the expression of ERCC1 and BRCA1 and the clinical pathologic features were analyzed. Results FISH-positive EGFR expression was identified in 40 of 166 samples (24.1%). More FISH-positive EGFR in the female than male patients (31.9% vs. 18.6%, P=0.048), and non-smoker than smoker (32.8% vs. 16.7%, P=0.045). FISH-positive EGFR was not associated with age, pathological type, clinical stage and metestasis status (P＞0.05). The expression of ERCC1 protein was identified in 60 of 132 samples (45.5%). The expression of ERCC1 protein varied significantly in tumors of different pathological types (P=0.046), but not associated with age, gender, clinical stage, metestatic status and smoking status (P＞0.05). The expression of BRCA1 protein was identified in 46 of 131 samples (35.1%). The expression of BRCA1 was not associated with age gender, pathological type, clinical stage, metestatic ststus and smoking status (P＞0.05). There was a moderate correlation between the expressions of ERCC1 and BRCA1 (r=0.449, P＜0.001), but EGFR gene copy number was not correlated with the expression of ERCC1 or BRCA1 protein. Conclusions FISH-positive EGFR expression is associated with gender and smoking status, but not correlated with the expression of ERCC1 and BRCA1 proteins. There is a moderate correlation between the expressions of ERCC1 and BRCA1.     

40岁以下非小细胞肺癌中EGFR突变状态和PD-L1的表达
