Use of dual mTOR inhibitor MLN0128 against everolimus-resistant breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Research and Treatment 2018 August
PURPOSE: HR+/HER2- aromatase inhibitor-resistant metastatic breast cancer can be treated with everolimus and a second AI until the cancer recurs. Targeting these everolimus-resistant patients with the latest standard of care, CDK4/6 inhibitors, has not been clearly addressed. Understanding the signaling transduction pathways, which everolimus resistance activates, will elucidate the mechanisms and offer treatment strategies of everolimus resistance.
METHODS: To mimic the clinical setting, letrozole-resistant cells were used to generate an everolimus-resistant model (RAD-R). Reverse phase protein array (RPPA) was performed to reveal changes in the signaling transduction pathways, and expression levels of key proteins were analyzed. Inhibitors targeting the major signaling pathways, a CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib and a mTORC1/2 inhibitor (MLN0128), were evaluated to establish resistance mechanisms of RAD-R.
RESULTS: RPPA results from RAD-R indicated changes to significant regulatory pathways and upregulation of p-AKT expression level associating with everolimus resistance. MLN0128, that inhibits the AKT phosphorylation, effectively suppressed the proliferation of RAD-R cells while treatment with palbociclib had no effect.
CONCLUSION: Among the many signaling transduction pathways, which are altered post everolimus resistance, targeting dual mTORC1/2 is a possible option for patients who have recurrent disease from previous everolimus treatment.
