Tóm tắt

Abstract The overall power of kinase inhibitors is substantially overshadowed by the acquisition of drug resistance. To address this issue, we systematically assessed the potential of secreted proteins to induce resistance to kinase inhibitors. To this end, we developed a high-throughput platform for screening a cDNA library encoding 3,432 secreted proteins in cellular assays. Using cancer cells originally dependent on either MET, FGFR2, or FGFR3, we observed a bypass of dependence through ligand-mediated activation of alternative receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). Our findings indicate a broad and versatile potential for RTKs from the HER and FGFR families as well as MET to compensate for loss of each other. We further provide evidence that combined inhibition of simultaneously active RTKs can lead to an added anticancer effect. Significance: Although initial tumor responses to kinase inhibitors can be significant, therapeutic benefit is often limited by the emergence of resistance (e.g., as a consequence of mutations in the drug target or through activation of alternative pathways to bypass dependence on the original target). Because the activation of alternative growth-promoting kinases by stimulation with their cognate ligands can constitute such a bypass mechanism, the identification of growth factors as possible mediators of resistance to kinase inhibitors is of clinical interest.
