Identification of molecules that enhance the efficacy of eribulin in TNBC and IBC cell lines (Hall 1) - Sep 25, 2019 - Abstract #SABCS2019SABCS_1422; We identified that PAK1, mTOR, and JNK inhibitors enhanced the anti-proliferation effects of eribulin in TNBC and IBC cell lines. Our data inform new treatment strategies with eribulin for TNBC and IBC that could lead to clinical trials of innovative combination therapy based on eribulin.

Efficacy of RIDRPI103, a reactive oxygen species (ROS) activated prodrug in treatment of breast cancer (Hall 1) - Sep 25, 2019 - Abstract #SABCS2019SABCS_1367; Thus, this novel combination of the ROS-activatable PI3K inhibitor prodrug and chemotherapy provides strong justification for its continued development and future clinical trials for patients stricken with PI3K driven tumors.In other experiments, we show that a recent FDA-approved CDK4/6 inhibitor, palbociclib, sensitized ER+ breast cancer cell lines (T47D and MDA-MB-361) to RIDR-PI103 using cell viability assays. Experiments are ongoing to determine the mechanism of action of these novel drug combinations that could be potentially translated to clinic for treatment of breast cancer patients.

PI3K inhibitors restored the sensitivity to anti-estrogen drugs in endocrine therapy resistant cell lines (Hall 1 - Poster Session 6) - Sep 25, 2019 - Abstract #SABCS2019SABCS_1291; We investigated the changes in the expression and functions of ER when endocrine-resistant cell lines, established in our laboratory, were treated with PI3K-mTOR inhibitors Methods Long-term estrogen deprivation-resistant (EDR) cell lines and fulvestrant-resistant cell lines (MFR) were established from MCF-7 cells in our previous studies...We used buparlisib (BUP, pan-class1 PI3K inhibitor) and alpelisib (ALP, ?-specific PI3K inhibitor) as PI3K inhibitors and everolimus (EVE) as an mTOR inhibitor...Conclusion PI3K inhibitor could restore the expression of ER and sensitivity to anti-estrogen drugs in endocrine therapy resistant cell line in which ER expression was lost during acquired resistant period. This restoration might be due to a histone modification (H3K27me3).

GDC-0077 is a selective PI3K alpha inhibitor with robust efficacy in PIK3CA mutant hormone-positive breast cancer models (Hall 1 - Poster Session 3) - Sep 25, 2019 - Abstract #SABCS2019SABCS_748; In vivo combination efficacy studies of GDC-0077 with fulvestrant and palbociclib also indicate the triple combination results in the greatest efficacy. Collectively, ourpreclinical data support evaluation of GDC-0077 in a triple combination with endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibition in the clinic, in patients with locally advanced or metastatic hormone receptor positive breast cancer whose tumors harbor mutant PIK3CA.

Different mechanism of CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance between ribociclib and abemaciclib (Stars at Night Ballroom 1&2 - 3rd Level) - Sep 25, 2019 - Abstract #SABCS2019SABCS_638; However, the mechanism of resistance between ribociclib and abemaciclib might be different because the CDK6 level was different, although RB level was decreased in both RIBR and ABER. Furthermore, both p21 and p27 are considered as the internal inhibitors of CDK2, although more factors in RIBR and ABER were different.

However, contrary to this, knockdown of the negative regulator of PI3K-Akt signalling, phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN), sensitizes podocytes to ER stress and apoptosis, despite increasing Akt phosphorylation. This indicates that protection from ER stress is conferred through not just the PI3K-Akt pathway, and indeed we find that inhibiting the MEK/ERK signalling pathway rescues PTEN knockdown podocytes from ER stress.

Journal: Discovery of a novel inhaled PI3Kδ inhibitor for the treatment of respiratory diseases. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 22, 2019 Once the potency was in the desired range, efforts were focused on identifying the particular physicochemical properties that could translate into better lung retention. This medicinal chemistry exercise led to the identification of LAS195319 as a candidate for clinical development.

Furthermore, under PA induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, Cav-1 silencing significantly reduced eIF2α phosphorylation and the expression of ER stress-responsive markers BiP and CHOP, which are among the known sensitizers of lipotoxicity. Our findings suggest Cav-1 as potential target molecule in T2DM treatment via the preservation of lipotoxicity-induced β-cell mass reduction and the attenuation of insulin secretion dysfunction.
- |||||||||| Journal: Molecular Basis for Membrane Recruitment by the PX and C2 Domains of Class II Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase-C2α. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 20, 2019
The C2 domain preferentially binds to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate, and low-resolution structures of the combined PX-C2 module by small-angle X-ray scattering reveal a compact conformation in which cooperative lipid binding by each domain binding can occur. Finally, we demonstrate an unexpected role for calcium in perturbing the membrane interactions of the PX-C2 module, which we speculate may be important for regulating the activity of PI3K-C2α.
