Abstract Transcriptionally active ESR1 fusions (ESR1-TAF) are a potent cause of breast cancer endocrine therapy (ET) resistance. ESR1-TAFs not directly druggable because the C-terminal estrogen/anti-estrogen–binding domain is replaced with translocated in-frame partner gene sequences that confer constitutive transactivation. To discover alternative treatments, mass spectrometry (MS)–based kinase inhibitor pulldown assay (KIPA) was deployed to identify kinases upregulated by diverse...
Abstract Endocrine therapies (ET) with cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibition are the standard treatment for estrogen receptor-α-positive (ER+) breast cancer, however drug resistance is common. In this study, proteogenomic analyses of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) from patients 22 ER+ cancer demonstrated that protein kinase, membrane-associated tyrosine/threonine one (PKMYT1), a WEE1 homolog, estradiol (E2) regulated in E2-dependent PDXs and constitutively expressed when growth...
Abstract Genomic analysis has recently identified multiple ESR1 gene translocations in estrogen receptor alpha–positive (ERα+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) that encode chimeric proteins whereby the ligand binding domain (LBD) is replaced by C-terminal sequences from many different partners. Here we functionally screened 15 fusions and 10 promoted estradiol-independent cell growth, motility, invasion, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, resistance to fulvestrant. RNA sequencing a...
NF1 is a key tumor suppressor that represses both RAS and estrogen receptor-α (ER) signaling in breast cancer. Blocking pathways by fulvestrant (F), selective ER degrader, together with binimetinib (B), MEK inhibitor, promotes regression NF1-depleted
Abstract NF1 is a key tumor suppressor that represses both RAS and estrogen receptor-α (ER) signaling in breast cancer. Blocking pathways by fulvestrant (F), selective ER degrader (SERD), together with binimetinib (B), MEK inhibitor, promotes regression NF1-depleted ER+ models. We aimed to establish approaches determine how protein levels impact B+F treatment response improve our ability identify sensitive tumors. examined panel of PDX models DNA mRNA sequencing found more than half these...
Sixteen patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) were analyzed using a mass spectrometry (MS)-based kinase inhibitor pull-down assay (KIPA), leading to the observation that death-associated protein 3 (DAPK3) is significantly and specifically overexpressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models. Validation studies confirmed enrichment of DAPK3 protein, both TNBC cell lines tumors, independent mRNA levels. Genomic knockout
