The RAS/RAF/MEK pathway is activated in more than 30% of human cancers, most commonly via mutation in the K-ras oncogene and also via mutations in BRAF. Several allosteric mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK) inhibitors, aimed at treating tumors with RAS/RAF pathway alterations, are in clinical development. However, acquired resistance to these inhibitors has been documented both in preclinical and clinical samples. To identify strategies to overcome this resistance, we have derived three independent MEK inhibitor-resistant cell lines. Resistance to allosteric MEK inhibitors in these cell lines was consistently linked to acquired mutations in the allosteric binding pocket of MEK. In one cell line, concurrent amplification of mutant K-ras was observed in conjunction with MEK allosteric pocket mutations. Clonal analysis showed that both resistance mechanisms occur in the same cell and contribute to enhanced resistance. Importantly, in all cases the MEK-resistant ...

In recent years numerous agents targeting the Ras/Raf/MEK or PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways have entered clinical development, and dual targeting of these pathways is now been investigated clinically. It had been generally accepted, and shown, that direct inhibition of targets subject to mutational activation is effective (42), and this expectation has to some extent translated to cases in which the mutationally activated pathway is targeted at a nonmutated node (e.g., MEK inhibitors and Rapalogues). However, in some settings these initial observations have been shown to be more complicated, and the dependency of cancer cells for survival on both of these pathways is becoming better understood (25, 27, 43). In this study we report that dual targeting of the MEK and mTOR pathways, using well-tolerated schedules of the inhibitors selumetinib and AZD8055, respectively, results in enhanced antitumor efficacy across a panel of NSCLC and CRC xenograft and patient-derived explant models. Furthermore, ...

On the basis of its MEK inhibitory activity, E6201 was shown here to be an ATP-competitive MEK inhibitor that is effective against BRAF-V600E melanoma in a preclinical setting. Furthermore, we showed that E6201 is effective in a preclinical model against BRAF-V600E melanoma harboring the MEK1-C121S mutation. Almost all of the MEK inhibitors previously reported are allosteric inhibitors, not ATP-competitive inhibitors (37). Our docking simulation showed that E6201 and selumetinib bind to different sites when they dock with MEK. These results suggest that the inhibitory mode of action of E6201 is different from that of allosteric MEK inhibitors and that E6201 merits further investigation in a clinical setting against both MEK-WT melanomas and melanomas harboring MEK with mutations at the allosteric site.. The MEK1-C121S mutation, which confers resistance to vemurafenib, increases MEK activity independently from BRAF and also confers resistance to the allosteric MEK inhibitor selumetinib (12). Our ...

Treatment with selumetinib benefits women with tumors overexpressing p-ERK. Low-grade serous ovarian cancer is notoriously resistant to cytotoxic chemotherapy; fewer than 15% of women respond initially. But in a phase II trial of the experimental MAP-ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitor selumetinib (AZD6244), women who had failed 3 or more rounds of chemotherapy had 81% disease control and a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 11.3 months.. Unexpectedly, benefit correlated more closely with the protein p-ERK than with mutation of BRAF, the protein that selumetinib targets.. About 60% of low-grade ovarian tumors have RAS/RAF activation of the MAPK pathway. However, for this trial, the researchers did not have exhaustive mutational analysis prior to selecting the 52 participants.. In this era of individualized medicine, we still enrolled participants regardless of tumor genotype, and were glad we did, says John Farley, MD, a professor at Creighton University School of Medicine at St. Josephs ...

Purpose: To assess the role of Apollon in melanoma resistance to intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of apoptosis and to identify strategies to reduce its expression.. Experimental Design: Apollon expression was assessed in melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo. Apollon modulation and melanoma apoptosis were evaluated by Western blot and/or flow cytometry in response to cytotoxic drugs, mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK)-, BRAFV600E-, and mTOR-specific inhibitors, TRAIL and anti-HLA class II monoclonal antibodies (mAb). Mitochondrial depolarization, caspase activation, apoptosis assays, and gene expression profiling were used to test effects of Apollon silencing, by siRNA, on melanoma response to antitumor agents.. Results: Apollon was constitutively expressed by melanoma cells, in vitro and in vivo, and at higher levels than in benign melanocytic lesions. Melanoma apoptosis correlated significantly with Apollon protein downmodulation in response to cytotoxic drugs, ...

There are at least 3 plausible explanations as to the differences in outcomes between the phase II studies described in Table 4. First, all 4 studies are small phase II trials and differences may simply relate to statistical chance or sampling in the setting of heterogeneous patient populations. Interestingly, all 4 studies document a fairly large fraction of patients who are not evaluable: 25%, 21%, 12%, and 15% for axitinib, sorafenib, motesanib, and selumetinib, respectively. Therefore, some variability in the underlying rates could be accounted for simply by missing data. Chance and missing data alone are unlikely to explain the consistent pattern of inferior outcomes in the current study of selumetinib. Next, we suggest that differences in outcomes could relate in part to differences in underlying risk factors between the patients treated on the different studies. There is evidence that underlying risks are different between the trials by considering known or suspected risk factors for poor ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the micro-organism of choice for the conversion of fermentable sugars during beverage or bioethanol fermentations. These fermentations are characterised by high osmotic stress on a yeast cell, with selected brewing fermentations beginning at 20-25% fermentable sugars and bioethanol fermentations at 13% fermentable sugars. RCK2 encodes for a MAPKAP (MAPK-activated protein kinase) enzyme and was identified on a locus by QTL analysis in yeast cells under osmotic stress, RCK2 expression was placed under a tetracycline regulatable vector and rescued glucose, sorbitol or glycerol induced osmotic stress in an rck2 null strain. A strain overexpressing RCK2 had significantly faster fermentation rates when compared

This study looks at the side effects and best dose of trametinib (targeted chemotherapy) in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced) with or without liver (hepatic) dysfunction. Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking proteins needed for cell growth. When these proteins are blocked, the growth of cancer cells may be stopped and the cancer cells will then die. Liver dysfunction is frequently found in patients with advanced cancer and usually prevents patients from receiving standard treatments or from participating in clinical trials. Patients may also need dose adjustments or absorb drugs differently. Trametinib may be a better treatment for patients with advanced cancers and liver dysfunction. ...

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn the highest tolerable dose of ARRY-614 that can be given to patients with MDS either 1 or 2 times a day. ARRY-614 is designed to block the function of certain proteins that cause normal blood cells to die in patients with MDS. This could cause the normal blood cells to survive.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is known to be involved in the tumorigenesis of cancer cells including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and kinases involved in this pathway are frequently mutated. The development of new targeted therapies in cancer has led to the evaluation of MEK-inhibitors. Areas covered: This article reviews different studies using trametinib alone, in combination with other targeted therapies or associated with other non-targeted therapies in NSCLC, with a focus on KRAS mutant and BRAF mutant NSCLC. Expert commentary: Trametinib demonstrated activity in association with a BRAF inhibitor when BRAF was mutated. The combination of trametinib and dabrafenib has been approved for this population of BRAF mutant NSCLC patients. For KRAS mutant NSCLC, the combination of trametinib with chemotherapy has showed promising results and should be further assessed. Several clinical trials are ongoing, assessing trametinib in combination with other targeted therapies. In ...

U.S., March 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT03065387) titled Study of the Pan-ERBB Inhibitor Neratinib Given in Combination With Everolimus, Palbociclib or Trametinib in Advanced Cancer Subjects With EGFR Mutation/Amplification, HER2 Mutation/Amplification or HER3/4 Mutation on Feb. 22. Brief Summary: There are 2 parts to this clinical research study: Part 1 (dose escalation) and Part 2 (expansion). The goal of Part 1 of this study is to find the highest tolerable dose of neratinib in combination with everolimus, Ibrance (palbociclib), or trametinib that can be given to patients who have advanced cancer with a specific mutation (EGFR, HER2, HER3, or HER4). The goal of Part 2 of this study is to learn if the dose of neratinib in combination with everolimus, Ibrance (palbociclib), or trametinib found in Part 1 can help to control advanced cancer in patients who have a specific mutation. The safety of this drug will also be studied in both parts of ...

The kinases MEK1 and MEK2 have the same substrates, ERK1 and ERK2, but mice lacking Mek1 die as embryos due to placental defects and mice lacking Mek2 are viable, implying isoform-specific functions. Aoidi et al. determined that MEK1 and MEK2 are functionally redundant as long as sufficient protein is produced. Mice lacking Mek1 were rescued by placing the coding sequence of Mek2 into both alleles of Mek1, but placental defects and embryonic lethality occurred when the mice carried only one copy of this knock-in allele along with a null allele of Mek1. The data indicated that the proteins functionally substituted for one another, but that the developing placenta is particularly sensitive to the amount of MEK present and producing the minimum amount required at least four copies of Mek2 in the absence of Mek1 or two copies of Mek1 in the absence of Mek2. Thus, the products may be functionally identical, but differences in their expression, translation, and protein half-life enable ...

The FDA has granted an accelerated approval to the combination of the MEK inhibitor trametinib and the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib as a treatment for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma that harbors a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation.

As a result, we chosen three pairs of characterized13 previously, 41 DGBCs and SCs and exposed these cells to Trametinib. The consequences on metabolic activity of Trametinib are less pronounced in the slowly dividng41 SCs than in the fast dividing41 DGBCs (Fig.?4A). The SC/DGBC percentage for the population doubling occasions of 35 cells is definitely 2.1, of 38 is 1.7, and of 40 is 1.913; this suggests that MEK inhibition might strongly impact proliferation in GB cells. As the level of sensitivity of the founded cell lines (Fig.?1A) lies between that of SCs and DGBCs, we continued with the same concentration of Trametinib, 30?nM. Next, we verified that ERK phosphorylation is also inhibited in the chosen concentration for at least ...

The mammalian genome contains two mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK)-encoding genes, Mek1 and Mek2. MEKs phosphorylate and activate the two extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) isoforms ERK1 and ERK2. Mek1−/− embryos die due to placental defects, whereas Mek2−/− mice survive with a normal life span and fertility, suggesting that MEK1 has functions not shared by MEK2. However, most Mek1+/−Mek2+/− embryos also die from placental defects, indicating that both Mek genes contribute to placental development. To assess the functional specificity of the Mek1 and Mek2 genes, we produced a Mek1 knock-in allele in which the Mek2 coding sequences were placed under the control of Mek1 regulatory sequences (Mek12 allele). Mek12/2 mice were viable with no apparent phenotype, indicating rescue by MEK2 and functional redundancy between the two MEK proteins. However, Mek12/− embryos with Mek2 in only one of the Mek1 alleles and the other Mek1 allele null died from abnormal ...

Currently, there are no available targeted therapy options for non-V600 BRAF mutated tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of RAF and MEK concurrent inhibition on tumor growth, migration, signaling and apoptosis induction in preclinical models of non-V600 BRAF mutant tumor cell lines. Six BRAF mutated human tumor cell lines CRL5885 (G466 V), WM3629 (D594G), WM3670 (G469E), MDAMB231 (G464 V), CRL5922 (L597 V) and A375 (V600E as control) were investigated. Pan-RAF inhibitor (sorafenib or AZ628) and MEK inhibitor (selumetinib) or their combination were used in in vitro viability, video microscopy, immunoblot, cell cycle and TUNEL assays. The in vivo effects of the drugs were assessed in an orthotopic NSG mouse breast cancer model. All cell lines showed a significant growth inhibition with synergism in the sorafenib/AZ628 and selumetinib combination. Combination treatment resulted in higher Erk1/2 inhibition and in increased induction of apoptosis when compared to single agent

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of trametinib with or without whole brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases. Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs, such as trametinib, may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving trametinib with whole brain radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for brain metastases.
