Abstract P6-11-10: Preclinical efficacy of the novel PIM2 kinase inhibitor, JP11646 in triple negative breast cancer models
Conclusions: PIM2 upregulation in TNBC cell line resulted in more aggressive phenotype. JP11646, through novel mechanism of action resulting in degradation of PIM2, showed robust activity in TNBC cell lines both in vitro and in vivo. Further correlative studies in tumors harvested from in vivo experiments are ongoing. These results encourage further exploration of use of JP11646 as a targeted agent in treatment of TNBC.Citation Format: Mehta R, Kothai Guruswamy Sangameswaran D, Bezbatchenko K, Moore J, Gil M, Khoury T, Baldino C, Caserta J, Fetterly, Jr. G, Lee K, Adjei A, Opyrchal M.

Abstract P4-06-06: Consistent dosing-time dependent tolerability of everolimus (EV) in a pilot study in women with metastatic breast cancers (MBC) and in a mouse chronopharmacology investigation
Conclusion: Taken together, silencing of ZBTB2 sensitize cancer cells to cisplatin through regulation of EMT markers and stem-like cell properties in TNBC. These findings suggest a novel molecular pathway targeting ZBTB2/stat3/NFkB signaling to combat drug resistance in metastatic TNBC.Citation Format: Giacchetti S, Li XM, Ozturk N, Cuvier C, Machowiak J, Arrondeau J, Chang-Marchand Y, Espié M, Okyar A, Lévi F.

Abstract B05: The RNA-binding protein HuR enhances exosome secretion in colorectal cancer
Enhanced secretion of exosomes by cancer cells is recognized as a means of transferring oncogenic information within the tumor microenvironment. Through their ability to carry specific RNA and protein cargo, tumor-derived exosomes are now being recognized for their ability to impact the tumor microenvironment and as promising cancer biomarkers. However, our knowledge of the cellular factors that promote increased exosome production from tumor cells and how they impact the loading of specific tumor-promoting RNA cargo is limited. Our prior work has established that colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and tumors overexpress the ke...

Abstract B45: Silencing ss3 integrin by targeted ECO/siRNA nanoparticles inhibits EMT and metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer
Metastatic breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive subcategory of breast cancer and currently lacks well-defined molecular targets for effective targeted therapies. Disease relapse, metastasis, and drug resistance render standard chemotherapy ineffective in the treatment of TNBC. Because previous studies coupled β3 integrin (ITGB3) to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis, we exploited β3 integrin as a therapeutic target to treat TNBC by delivering β3 integrin siRNA via lipid ECO-based nanoparticles (ECO/...

Abstract A30: Characterizing the non-linear dependency of the CDK5-Rb axis in non-small cell lung cancer
In spite of recent therapeutics advances and early detection, lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths worldwide. The five-year survival rates for its two major subtypes, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are estimated to be 6% and 18%, respectively. This high mortality is due to its aggressive nature even when detected at an early stage. Besides its aggressive nature and tendency for early metastasis, another feature of lung cancer is the inactivation of the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) that is observed in both lung cancer subtypes. NSCLC exhibits Rb inactivation...

Abstract C05: Pulmonary laminin 332 in tumor cell migration and breast cancer survival
Metastasis to the lung often leads to the demise of the patient, thus a greater understanding of the process might lead to strategies for better cancer control. Tumor cell metastatic ability is determined by both intrinsic properties of tumor cells and contributions from the microenvironment. The goal of this study was to determine the role of the extracellular matrix protein laminin 332 (LN332) in breast cancer progression. Because tumor cell motility is a requirement for metastasis, we hypothesize that lung tissue harbors substances that induce tumor cell migration. In order to better characterize the interaction of brea...

Abstract B22: Loss of LncRNA XIST induces Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Breast Cancer
Brain is one of the major sites of metastasis of breast cancer, and approximately 20% of patients with aggressive breast cancer eventually develop the metastatic disease in the brain. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) have recently drawn much attention due to their wide functional variations and potential roles in tumor progression. By performing lncRNA array analysis comparing non-metastatic primary tumors with brain metastatic tumors from breast cancer patients, we identified that lncRNA XIST expression was significantly down-regulated in brain metastatic tumors. The result of Taqman PCR validated the results in tumor sample...

Abstract B36: Rab25 aggravates cancer cell invasion through Snail expression
Conclusion: Our results show for the first time that Snail mediates Rab25-induced cancer cell EMT and invasiveness through a beta1 integrin /Akt/GSK-3beta signaling cascade, providing novel biomarkers, and potential therapeutic targets for deadly cancers.Citation Format: Bo Young Jeong, Kyung Hwa Cho, Seung Hwa Kim, Yu Na Kim, Chang Gyo Park, Hoi Young Lee.

Abstract P5-03-13: The anticancer effects of Supinoxin(R) (RX-5902) in triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 through phosphorylated p68 on Tyr593
In this study, we sought to determine whether phosphorylated p68 on Tyr593 plays a key role in RX-5902's ability to inhibit cancer cell growth by knocking down p68. p68-siRNA efficiently down-regulated the expression of phosphorylated p68 on Tyr593 as well as p68 in the triple-negative (TN) breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. Exposure of p68-siRNA-transfected cells to the IC50 concentration of RX-5902 protected MDA-MB-231 cells from the cytotoxic effects of RX-5902, indicating the phosphorylated p68 on Tyr593 is a key molecule for RX-5902 cytotoxic effects. We also examined the tumor growth inhibition (TGI) of RX-5902 in ...

Abstract A1-05: Elucidation of epigenetic driver genes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma using a newly developed assay, AcceSssIble
Conclusions: Our study revealed a vast number of chromatin accessibility and accompanying gene expression changes that occur in gene promoters in the development of ccRCC, both dependent and independent of DNA methylation changes. Each individual tumor has a unique profile of epigenetic alterations. Moreover, almost none of the genes that were found to undergo epigenetic and resulting gene expression changes overlap with TCGA's findings of commonly mutated genes in ccRCC. Overall, these studies represent novel approaches that can help identify new therapeutic target genes and treatment strategies for ccRCC, including perso...

Abstract 12: Bclxl is a key regulator of mitochondria-induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer stem cells
Conclusion:Ovarian cancer stem cells have a unique mitochondrial phenotype and Bclxl is a key regulator of its stability and may play a role in resistance to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. Targeting Bclxl may be an approach to complement current standard of care in ovarian cancer. The demonstration that apoptosis can be fully induced with minimal loss of Bclxl suggests an acceptable therapeutic window for Bclxl inhibitors.Citation Format: Ayesha B.
