Oxaliplatin, ATR inhibitor and anti-PD-1 antibody combination therapy controls colon carcinoma growth, induces local and systemic changes in the immune compartment, and protects against tumor rechallenge in mice

Article

Background:

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer type and one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. The treatment of advanced metastatic CRC relies on classical chemotherapy combinations (5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin or irinotecan). However, their use is limited by the emergence of resistance mechanisms, including to oxaliplatin. In this context, we recently showed that the combination of oxaliplatin and ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein inhibition (VE-822) is synergistic and may have a potential therapeutic effect in metastatic CRC management.

Methods:

In this study, we investigated the role of the VE-822+oxaliplatin (Vox) combination on the immune response and its potential synergy with an anti-programmed-cell Death receptor-1 (PD-1) antibody. We used cell lines and organoids from metastatic CRC to investigate in vitro Vox efficacy and orthotopic syngeneic mouse models of metastatic CRC to assess the efficacy of Vox+anti-PD-1 antibody and identify the involved immune cells.

Results:

The Vox+anti-PD-1 antibody combination completely cured tumor-bearing mice and protected them from a rechallenge. Vox was associated with a reduction of tumor-infiltrated neutrophils, CD206+macrophages and regulatory T cells. Vox also induced a deep depletion of blood neutrophils. The increased bone marrow granulopoiesis failed to compensate for the Vox-mediated mature neutrophil depletion. Neutrophil depletion using a mouse recombinant anti-Ly6G antibody partially mimicked the Vox effect on the tumor microenvironment, but to a lower extent compared with the Vox+anti-PD-1 antibody combination. Vox, but not neutrophil depletion, led to the emergence of an Ly6C+PD-1+CD8+T-cell population in the blood and spleen of tumor-harboring mice. These cells were proliferating, and expressed IFN-γ, CD62L, CXCR3 and Eomes. Moreover, the proportion of tumor antigen-specific T cells and of CD122+BCL6+T cells, which shared phenotypic characteristics with stem-like CD8+T cells, was increased in treated mice.

Conclusions:

Our work strongly suggests that the Vox+anti-PD-1 antibody combination might significantly improve survival in patients with metastatic and treatment-refractory CRC by acting both on cancer cells and CD8+T cells.

Article

Author: Chepeaux, Laure-Agnès ; Colinge, Jacques ; Mathonnet, Muriel ; Jean, Christine ; Tosi, Diégo ; Gongora, Céline ; Colombo, Pierre-Emmanuel ; Bousquet, Corinne ; Brager, Dorian ; Bruciamacchie, Marine ; Larbouret, Christel ; Evrard, Alexandre ; Garambois, Véronique ; Robin, Mathilde ; Belhabib, Ismahane ; Pourquier, Philippe ; Bonnefoy, Nathalie ; Bessede, Thomas ; Bigot, Kevin ; Michaud, Henri-Alexandre ; Vie, Nadia ; Jarlier, Marta ; Gros, Laurent

BACKGROUND:

In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the dense stroma rich in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and the immunosuppressive microenvironment confer resistance to treatments. To overcome such resistance, we tested the combination of FOLFIRINOX (DNA damage-inducing chemotherapy drugs) with VE-822 (an ataxia-telangiectasia and RAD3-related inhibitor that targets DNA damage repair).

METHODS:

PDAC spheroid models and organoids were used to assess the combination effects. Tumour growth and the immune and fibrotic microenvironment were evaluated by immunohistochemistry, single-cell analysis and spatial proteomics in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and orthotopic immunocompetent KPC mouse models.

RESULTS:

The FOLFIRINOX and VE-822 combination had a strong synergistic effect in several PDAC cell lines, whatever their BRCA1, BRCA2 and ATM mutation status and resistance to standard chemotherapy agents. This was associated with high DNA damage and inhibition of DNA repair signalling pathways, leading to increased apoptosis. In immunocompetent and PDX mouse models of PDAC, the combination inhibited tumour growth more effectively than FOLFIRINOX alone. This was associated with tumour microenvironment remodelling, particularly decreased proportion of fibroblast activated protein-positive CAFs and increased anti-tumorigenic immune cell infiltration and interaction.

CONCLUSION:

The FOLFIRINOX and VE-822 combination is a promising strategy to improve FOLFIRINOX efficacy and overcome drug resistance in PDAC.

Interferon signaling is enhanced by ATR inhibition in glioblastoma cells irradiated with X-rays, protons or carbon ions

Article

Author: Syljuåsen, Randi G ; Edin, Nina Frederike Jeppesen ; Savu, Diana I ; Temelie, Mihaela ; Malinen, Eirik ; Lindbergsengen, Lilian ; Chevalier, François ; Serban, Ana Maria ; Eek Mariampillai, Adrian ; Rødland, Gro Elise ; Gilbert, Antoine

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:

Interferon (IFN) signaling plays an important role in antitumor immune responses. Inhibitors of the DNA damage response, such as ATR inhibitors, can increase IFN signaling upon conventional radiotherapy with X-rays. However, it is not known whether such inhibitors also enhance IFN signaling after irradiation with high linear energy transfer (LET) particles.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Human glioblastoma U-251 and T98G cells were irradiated with X-rays, protons (LET: 4.8 and 41.9 keV/µm) and carbon ions (LET: 28 and 73 keV/µm), with and without ATR inhibitor (VE-822) or ATM inhibitor (AZD1390). DNA damage signaling and cell cycle distribution were analyzed by immunoblotting and flow cytometry, and radiosensitivity was assessed by clonogenic survival assay. IFN-β secretion was measured by ELISA, and STAT1 activation was examined by immunoblotting.

RESULTS:

High-LET protons and carbon ions caused stronger activation of the DNA damage response compared to low-LET protons and X-rays at similar radiation doses. G2 checkpoint arrest was abrogated by the ATR inhibitor and prolonged by the ATM inhibitor after all radiation types. The inhibitors increased radiosensitivity, as measured after X- and carbon ion irradiation. ATR inhibition increased IFN signaling following both low-LET and high-LET irradiation. ATM inhibition also increased IFN signaling, but to a lesser extent. Notably, both cell lines secreted significantly more IFN-β when the inhibitors were combined with high-LET compared to low-LET irradiation.

CONCLUSION:

These findings indicate that DNA damage response inhibitors can enhance IFN signaling following X-, proton and carbon ion irradiation, with a strong positive dependency on LET.

Blacksmith Medicines To Highlight Preclinical Oncology Data Demonstrating a Potent and Selective FEN1 Inhibitor Has Synergy with Multiple DDR Drug Classes at AACR Annual Meeting 2024

SAN DIEGO, April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blacksmith Medicines, Inc. (Blacksmith), a leading biopharma dedicated to discovering and developing medicines targeting metalloenzymes, today announced preclinical data on its oncology program targeting flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1), a structure-specific metallonuclease that cleaves 5' DNA flaps during replication and repair, at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024, taking place April 5-10 at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego CA. "FEN1 has been identified as an important therapeutic metalloenzyme involved in DNA replication and repair but previous drug discovery efforts have been hampered by chemistry limitations resulting in inhibitors lacking potency and selectivity," said Zachary Zimmerman, Ph.D. CEO of Blacksmith. "Using our metalloenzyme fragment-based drug discovery approach, we have identified a highly potent and selective inhibitor of FEN1 having synergies with multiple DDR drug classes that include inhibitors of PARP, PARG, USP1, and ATR." The Blacksmith fragment-based drug discovery platform identified a novel metal-binding pharmacophore that binds to the two magnesium ions in the FEN1 active site. Further elaboration using fragment growth strategies resulted in highly potent and selective inhibitors. The current lead (BSM-1516) is ~65-fold more potent against FEN1 than its related enzyme Exonuclease 1 (Exo1) in biochemical assays (IC50 of 7 nM and 460 nM, respectively), an improvement of more than an order of magnitude in selectivity compared to earlier efforts. FEN1 target engagement in live cells was validated by cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA EC50 of 24 nM). Inhibition of FEN1 led to its increased association with chromatin in S-phase cells and recruitment of PARP1 enzyme. In clonogenic assay, BRCA2-deficient DLD1 cells were ~15-fold more sensitive to FEN1 inhibition than their isogenic BRCA2-wild-type counterparts (EC50 of 350 nM and 5 µM, respectively), confirming the increased susceptibility of HR deficient cancer cells to FEN1 inhibition. Treatment of BRCA2-deficient but not wild-type DLD1 cells with BSM-1516 resulted in cell cycle arrest accompanied by DNA damage signaling and accumulation of chromatin-bound RPA32, a marker of ssDNA. In FEN1-inhibitor-anchored CRISPR screen, it was observed that perturbations in EXO1, USP1, PARP1 and HR pathway genes sensitized cells to FEN1 inhibition. Synergistic relationships of BSM-1516 and its combination potential were further explored in viability studies with a panel of DDR inhibitors (n=25) in BRCA2-proficient and deficient cell lines. Strong synergy was identified with multiple drug classes that included inhibitors of USP1 (KSQ-4279), PARP (Olaparib, Niraparib, Talazoparib, AZD5305), PARG (PDD 00017273) and ATR (AZD6738, VE-822, Elimusertib). In vitro ADME assays and in vivo PK studies showed that BSM-1516 has properties suitable for in vivo testing, either as a single agent or in combination with synergistic DDR inhibitors, an investigation that is currently underway. Poster presentation details Abstract Number: 7148 Title: "Small molecule inhibitor of FEN1 nuclease utilizing a novel metal binding pharmacophore synergizes with inhibitors of USP1, PARP, PARG and ATR" Session Category: Experimental and Molecular Therapeutics Session Title: Novel Antitumor Agents 6 Session Date and Time: Wednesday April 10, 2024 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM Location: Poster Section 23 Poster Board Number: 10 About FEN1 Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a structure-specific di-magnesium metallonuclease that cleaves 5' DNA flaps during replication and repair. FEN1 is an attractive target for development of anticancer therapeutics because it is overexpressed in many tumor types and has a large number of synthetic lethality partners including genes in Homologous Recombination (HR) pathway.

Important Target in Synthetic Lethality: ATR Inhibitors

The Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad-3 related protein kinase (ATR) is a member of the PIKK protein kinase family, and it is involved in numerous complex DNA damage repair mechanisms. Consequently, these mechanisms help to maintain genome integrity when the body deals with various genomic insults. Once DNA is damaged, a post-translational modification network can be activated to initiate damage checkpoints, subsequently inducing DNA repair and cellular apoptosis, a process known as the DNA damage response (DDR). ATR has the ability to activate cellular responses following DNA damage and can halt cell cycle progression, stabilize replication forks, and repair DNA. This process not only circumvents cell apoptosis but also plays an essential role in life activities. As a type of DNA damage response mechanism, the ATR pathway plays a crucial inhibitory role in tumor survival. Inducing ATR pathway-dependent malignant tumor cell death serves as an ideal target for developing low-toxicity, high-efficacy targeted anti-tumor drugs. Synthetic lethality refers to a scenario where a mutation in either of two non-lethal genes does not affect cell survival, but simultaneous mutations in both genes can specifically trigger cell death. Research has found that ATM and ATR kinases are activated or upregulated in cancer cells, and ATR serves as a synthetic lethal target for ATM mutations. Tumor cells deficient in ATM are more susceptible to ATR inhibitors. The selective inhibition between the two offers a new approach to tumor treatment and provides a new tool for tumor research. ATR Competitive LandscapeAccording to the data provided by Patsnap Synapse-Global Drug Intelligence Database: the following figure shows that as of 8 Sep 2023, there are a total of 24 ATR drugs worldwide, from 36 organizations, covering 45 indications, and conducting 127 clinical trials. 👇Please click on the picture link below for free registration or login directly if you have freemium accounts, you can browse the latest research progress on drugs , indications, organizations, clinical trials, clinical results, and drug patents related to this target.
