- W2740756479 abstract "Basal-like 2 (BL2) triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive molecular subtype of breast cancer with a poor clinical outcome. These cancers are characterized by overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), loss of PTEN protein expression, and presence of mutated TP53. Despite overexpression of EGFR, EGFR-targeted therapies have performed poorly in clinical settings. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of resistance in these cells is critical for improved patient care. To understand the oncogenic signaling landscape in BL2 TNBC, our lab utilizes the BL2 cell lines SUM-149 and SUM-229, which overexpress EGFR activated by an amphiregulin-mediated autocrine loop, and are PTEN null. In addition, we utilize the BL1 subtype cell line MDA-MB-468, which also exhibits overexpression of EGFR and loss of PTEN. Both the BL1 and BL2 cell lines exhibit elevated levels of phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT) compared to control MCF-10A cells. However, while treatment of SUM-149 and SUM-229 cells with inhibitors targeting EGFR (Gefitinib), type-1 PI3K (BKM120, BKM), mTOR (KU-0063794, KU) and pan-AKT (MK2206, MK) did not reduce p-AKT levels, MCF-10A and MDA-MB-468 cell lines treated with the same panel of targeted inhibitors showed marked inhibition of p-AKT. In addition, re-expression of PTEN in SUM-149 and SUM-229 cells had little effect on p-AKT but dramatically reduced p-AKT in MDA-MB-468 cells. Although PTEN re-expression alone had little effect on p-AKT in SUM-149 and SUM-229 cells, these cells did display decreased AKT phosphorylation following treatment with Gefitinib, BKM, KU, and MK. There are three isoforms of AKT (AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3) of which, AKT3 has been implicated in the aggressive nature of some cancers. Previous studies in our lab showed that SUM-149 and SUM-229 cell lines have higher levels of AKT3 message and protein compared to the other AKT isoforms. AKT3 expression was also higher in the BL2 cell lines compared to BL1 and control cells. This differential expression of AKT isoforms led us to examine the impact of AKT isoform-specific signaling. Using PTEN re-expressing SUM-149 cells, we showed that PTEN re-expression resulted in decreased phosphorylation of AKT1 but not of AKT3. However, PTEN re-expression combined with Gefitinib treatment dramatically reduced phosphorylation of both AKT1 and AKT3. Interestingly, while neither re-expression of PTEN nor Gefitinib expression alone had an effect on colony-forming efficiency, PTEN re-expression coupled with Gefitinib treatment was able to reduce colony formation efficiency in both SUM-149 and SUM-229 cell lines. Taken together, these data indicate that BL2 breast cancers, with overexpression of EGFR and loss of PTEN expression, have an oncogenic signaling network involving AKT3 that contributes to the aggressive and drug-resistant phenotype observed in this subset of TNBC.
