The PI3 kinase/mTOR blocker NVP-BEZ235 overrides resistance against irreversible ErbB inhibitors in breast cancer cells
Abstract
Resistance against first and second generation (irreversible) ErbB inhibitors is an unsolved problem in clinical oncology. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the irreversible ErbB inhibitors pelitinib and canertinib on growth of breast and ovarian cancer cells. Although in vitro growth-inhibitory effects of both drugs exceeded by far the effects of all reversible ErbB blockers tested (lapatinib, erlotinib, and gefitinib), complete growth inhibition was usually not reached. To define the mechanism of resistance, we examined downstream signaling pathways in drug-exposed cells by Western blot analysis. Although ErbB phosphorylation was reduced by pelitinib and canertinib, activation of the AKT/mTOR pathway remained essentially unaltered in drug-resistant cells. Correspondingly, transfection of tumor cells with constitutively activated AKT was found to promote resistance against all ErbB inhibitors tested, whereas dominant negative AKT reinstalled sensitivity in drug-resistant cells. In a next step, we applied PI3K/AKT/mTOR blockers including the dual PI3K/mTOR kinase inhibitor NVP-BEZ235 VSports手机版. These agents were found to cooperate with pelitinib and canertinib in producing in vitro growth inhibition in cancer cells resistant against ErbB-targeting drugs. In conclusion, our data show that ErbB drug-refractory activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway plays a crucial role in resistance against classical and second-generation irreversible ErbB inhibitors, and NVP-BEZ235 can override this form of resistance against pelitinib and canertinib. .
