Blockade of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) causes tumor regression in some patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, residual disease reservoirs typically remain even after maximal response to therapy, leading relapse. Using patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), we observed that mCRC cells surviving EGFR inhibition exhibited gene expression patterns similar those a quiescent subpopulation normal intestinal secretory precursors Paneth cell characteristics. Compared...
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a well-exploited therapeutic target in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Unfortunately, not all patients benefit from current EGFR inhibitors. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics and phosphoproteomics were performed on 30 genomically pharmacologically characterized mCRC patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) to investigate the molecular basis of response blockade identify alternative drug targets overcome resistance. Both tyrosine global...
HER2 amplification occurs in approximately 5% of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases and is associated only partially with clinical response to combined human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)/epidermal (EGFR)-targeted treatment. An alternative approach based on adoptive cell therapy using T cells engineered anti-HER2 chimeric antigen (CAR) proved be toxic due on-target/off-tumor activity. Here we describe a combinatorial strategy safely target carcinoembryonic (CEA) expression CRC...
The breadth and depth at which cancer models are interrogated contribute to the successful clinical translation of drug discovery efforts. In colorectal (CRC), model availability is limited by a dearth large-scale collections patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) paired tumoroids from metastatic disease, where experimental therapies typically tested. Here we introduce XENTURION, an open-science resource offering platform 128 PDX patients with CRC, along matched PDX-derived tumoroids....

Abstract DNA sequence mutability in tumors with chromosomal instability is conventionally believed to remain uniform, constant, and low, based on the assumption that further mutational accrual a context of marked aneuploidy evolutionarily disadvantageous. However, this concept lacks robust experimental verification. We adapted principles mutation accumulation experiments, traditionally performed lower organisms, clonal populations patient-derived tumoroids empirically measured spontaneous...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease showing significant variability in clinical aggressiveness. Primary and acquired resistance limits the efficacy of available treatments, identification effective drug combinations needed to further improve patients’ outcomes. We previously found that NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor pevonedistat induced tumor stabilization preclinical models poorly differentiated, clinically aggressive CRC resistant therapies. To identify drugs can be...
Abstract Purpose: Approximately 20% of patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) experience objective responses to the anti-EGFR antibody cetuximab, but disease eradication is seldom achieved. The extent tumor shrinkage correlates long-term outcome. We aimed find rational combinations that potentiate cetuximab efficacy by disrupting adaptive dependencies on antiapoptotic molecules (BCL2, BCL-XL, MCL1). Experimental Design: Experiments were conducted in patient-derived...

Abstract Rationale: The HERACLES A trial showed that a clinical sizeable subset of 3% metastatic colorectal cancers (mCRC), identifiable by the amplification HER2 gene, can be targeted for effective, durable and safe anti-HER2 treatment with combination small molecule kinase inhibitor lapatinib (L) monoclonal antibody trastuzumab (T) [Siena et al. J Clin Oncol 33, 2015.(suppl; abs 3508)]. As any other therapy, however, L+T was not active in all patients, even responders its efficacy limited...
Abstract Introduction: Inhibitors of the bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) family (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, BRDT) are a promising new class anticancer agents. Here, we assessed activity mechanism action novel molecule OTX015, selective orally bioavailable BRD2/3/4 inhibitor, in panel anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) lines. Material Methods: Human lines derived from ALKpos ALCL (SUPM2/TS, SU-DHL-1, L82, JB-6, Karpas 299) were treated with increasing doses OTX015 (OncoEthix SA, Swtizerland)....
Abstract Strong evidence supports the use of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) as faithful models reflecting patient outcomes. Since not all research can support animals, exploiting in vitro such organoids (also know tumoroids) is essential. However, current biobanks metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) tumoroids have important limitations, small sample size and a lack systematic vivo validation with paired xenografts, which decreases translational value tumoroid-based pipelines. Here we...
Abstract HER2 amplification occurs in about 5% of colorectal cancers (CRC) and is only partially associated with clinical response to combined HER2/EGFR targeted treatment. An alternative approach, based on Adoptive Cell Therapy (ACT) using T cells engineered anti-HER2 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR), proved toxic due "on-target off-tumor" activity. Therefore, we developed a combinatorial ACT strategy safely target CRC synNotch-based artificial regulatory network. A synthetic Notch receptor...
