Kinome RNAi Screens Reveal Synergistic Targeting of MTOR and FGFR1 Pathways for Treatment of Lung Cancer and HNSCC

Abstract: The fibroblast growth factor receptor FGFR1 is a therapeutic target under investigation in multiple solid tumors and clinical trials of selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are underway. Treatment with single TKI represents a logical step towards personalized cancer therapy, but intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms limit their long-term benefit. In this study, we deployed RNAi-based functional genomic screens to identify protein kinases controlling the intrinsic sensitivity of FGFR1-dependent lun… Show more

“…It is unknown if the distinct mechanisms of FGFR1 activation or if other aberrantly activated kinases are causing the differing downstream effects of FGFR inhibition in PDXs 788 and 926 and further experiments would be necessary to investigate such conclusions. Using two FGFRi-sensitive lung cancer cell lines, Singleton and colleagues suggested that combination therapy with mTOR inhibitor AZD2014 and FGFR inhibitor AZD4547 improved response compared to single agents (47). However, we observed response to FGFR inhibitor and PI3K/mTOR inhibitor combination only in PDX 926, a tumor with strong AKT activity that was not reduced by treatment with BGJ398 alone.…”

“…To our knowledge this is the first time, that drugs against FGFR and PI3K were used in combination for treatment of HPV + and HPV -TSCC/BOTSCC cell lines, although the combination of AZD4547 and an MTOR inhibitor has been used on a nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line (44). Furthermore, to our knowledge, these drugs have not been used under physiological conditions as single treatments on patients with HPV + TSCC/BOTSCC or combined treatments for patients with HPV + or HPV -TSCC/BOTSCC.…”

“…To measure the ability of cell lines to form colonies from a single cell, clonogenic growth assays were performed as previously described (Singleton et al, 2015). Briefly, 100 cells were seeded per well in 12-well plates.…”
