Kinome-Wide RNA Interference Screen Reveals a Role for PDK1 in Acquired Resistance to CDK4/6 Inhibition in ER-Positive Breast Cancer
In this study, we used a kinome-wide siRNA screen to identify kinases that, when downregulated, yield sensitivity to the CDK4/6 inhibitor ribociclib. In this manner, we identified 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) as a key modifier of ribociclib sensitivity in estrogen receptor–positive MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Pharmacologic inhibition of PDK1 with GSK2334470 in combination with ribociclib or palbociclib, another CDK4/6 inhibitor, synergistically inhibited proliferation and increased apoptosis in a panel of ER-positive breast cancer cell lines. Ribociclib-resistant breast cancer cells selected by chr...

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 P3-04-12: Both spliced and unspliced XBP1 regulates breast cancer cell fate response to antiestrogen via NFkappaB signaling
Unfolded protein response (UPR), a stress-induced survival mechanism, may be used by cancer cells to avoid cell death. Antiestrogen therapy, widely applied in the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, induces endoplasmic reticulum stress (EnR stress) that leads to activation of each of the three arms of the UPR. One critical prosurvival activator that is regulated by two arms of the UPR is the transcription factor X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1). XBP1 exists in two isoforms, the transcriptionally inactive unspliced XBP1(U) and the spliced, active XBP1(S). Overexpression of XBP1(S) confers estrogen ind...

Abstract P2-06-06: A clinical model for assessment of the individual breast cancer risk
Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that estrogen and ERβ-specific agonists cause cell cycle arrest in ERβ positive TNBC. These effects are due to ERβ-mediated suppression of multiple genes involved in cell cycle progression including CDK1 and Cyclin B. Following knockdown of CDK1, estrogen or ERβ-specific agonist treatment displayed minimal impact on cell proliferation. Therefore, ERβ's effects on proliferation may primarily be mediated by blockade of CDK1 and Cyclin B. Regardless of ERβ, our data suggest that inhibition of CDK1 activity may have therapeutic benefit in a subset of TNBC patients, an area of study that ...

Abstract P2-11-02: A longitudinal look at toxicity management within a platform trial: Lessons from the I-SPY 2 TRIAL
In this study, we performed siRNA-mediated knockdown to determine the importance of SHC1 and NCOA3 in the cell proliferation and death of TNBC. The effect of siSHC1 or siNCOA3 on the invasion and chemoresistance was also assayed in vitro. We found that although SHC1 and NCOA3 knockdown slightly inhibited the tumor growth of TNBC cells (MDA-MB-231, BT549, and HS578T), siSHC1 + paclitaxel and siNCOA3 + paclitaxel significantly decreased cell proliferation and increased caspase-3/7 activity in vitro, compared to drug alone. In vivo studies using MDA-MB-231 xenografts and a TNBC PDX model also showed that siSHC1 and siNCOA3 si...

Abstract P1-08-03: Identification and characterization of a novel endoxifen substrate, PKC{beta}1, and its interaction with the estrogen receptor
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that endoxifen binds and inhibits PKCβ1 at relevant concentrations achieved in the endoxifen clinical trial studies. PKCβ1 interacts with cytoplasmic ERα and PKCβ1 knockdown inhibits cell proliferation and enhances ERα turnover. However, in PKCβ1 overexpressing cells, PKCβ1 may exhibit tumor suppressive effects. These data suggest a complex interaction between PKCβ1 and ERα and that endoxifen's effects on PKCβ1 may alter drug response of endocrine therapy. Further studies are ongoing to characterize the role of PKCβ1 and its role in ER biology and response to endoxifen.Cita...

Abstract P1-08-04: SOX9 is a critical regulator of triple-negative breast cancer cell growth and invasion
Background: SRY (Sex Determining Region Y)-related HMG-box (SOX) genes belong to a super-family of genes, which is characterized by a homologous sequence called the HMG-box residing on the Y-chromosome. There are 20 SOX genes present in humans and mice. We performed a siRNA screen of SOX transcription factors, and found that SOX9 was essential for breast cancer cell growth. The SOX9 protein recognizes the sequence CCTTGAG along with other members of the HMG-box class DNA-binding proteins and has been shown to be required for development, differentiation and lineage commitment. Moreover, SOX9 is expressed in adenocarcinomas...

Abstract P2-11-09: A p53-based strategy for protecting normal breast tissue from chemotherapy-induced damage in breast conserving therapy
Conclusions:Together our data show that the MAPK pathway is hyperactivated in TNBC; inhibiting this pathway impairs tumor growth, but enhances GPNMB, which facilitates mammary tumor growth and metastasis in the setting of Mek-i. These data provide rationale for combined targeting of GPNMB and the MAPK pathway in TNBC.Citation Format: Long M, Huang Y, Liu R, Liu R, Su H.

Abstract P2-12-03: Prospective study of acupuncture in the rehabilitation of women undergoing surgical treatment of breast cancer in relation to the strength and quality of life
Conclusion: DAPK1 is a novel, promising target for the treatment of triple-negative p53-mutant breast cancer. Our studies demonstrate that DAPK1 inhibition sensitizes TNBCs to the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin or the PARP inhibitor. We are now conducting studies to determine whether DAPK1 inhibition will sensitize TNBC tumors and patient-derived TNBC xenografts to the effects of cisplatin and PARP inhibition. These studies suggest that the combination of DAPK1 inhibition with drugs that interfere with DNA repair will be useful for the treatment of the most aggressive form of breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer.Fu...

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 P4-06-10: Rates of successful engraftment in breast cancer xenograft models based on tissue type: Primary vs relapsed disease
Conclusions: Our data demonstrated that estrogen and ERβ-specific agonists elicit anti-cancer effects in ERβ+ TNBC, both in vitro and in vivo. These effects are partially mediated by cystatins which can interact with, and inhibit, canonical TGFβ signaling, a pathway known to drive TNBC progression. Given the lack of targeted therapies for TNBC patients, the present data suggests that estrogen or ERβ-specific agonists offer a novel approach to manage this subset of patients.Citation Format: den Brok W-l, Chia S, Kalloger S, Bates C, Aparicio S, Mar C, Gelmon K, Eirew P.
