A phase 1 study of buparlisib and bevacizumab in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma progressing on vascular endothelial growth factor-targeted therapies.
    Cancer, 2016, Aug-01, Volume: 122, Issue:15

    The phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is dysregulated in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Buparlisib is a pan-PI3K inhibitor with activity in advanced solid tumors. The primary objective of the current study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities of buparlisib and bevacizumab in patients with mRCC. Secondary objectives included efficacy, biomarker discovery, and additional toxicity.. This was a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation study of buparlisib (at a dose of 60-100 mg/day) and bevacizumab (at a dose of 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks). After the MTD was defined, 15 patients were accrued to the expansion cohort.. Thirty-two patients were accrued (3 were treated at 60 mg/day, 21 were treated at 80 mg/day, 6 were treated at 100 mg/day, and 2 patients never received therapy). The majority of patients had clear cell histology (87%) and 50% had received ≥2 prior lines of therapy. The MTD of buparlisib was 80 mg/day and that of bevacizumab was 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks. A total of 28 patients discontinued therapy: 17 because of disease progression, 7 because of toxicity, and 4 for other reasons. Dose-limiting toxicities included rash/pruritis, elevated lipase/amylase, anorexia, and psychiatric disorders (suicidal ideation, depression, and cognitive disturbances). Of the 30 patients who received at least 1 dose, 13% achieved a partial response (95% confidence interval, 4%-31%). Two patients harboring activating PI3KA mutations achieved 42% and 16% maximal tumor shrinkage, respectively.. Buparlisib at a dose of 80 mg/day with bevacizumab was found to be a tolerable regimen with preliminary activity in vascular endothelial growth factor-refractory mRCC. The benefit of this combination may be of interest for future mRCC trials, possibly in a selected patient population. Cancer 2016;122:2389-2398. © 2016 American Cancer Society.

BKM120 inhibits malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney through induction of apoptosis and G0/G1 phase arrest.
    European journal of pharmacology, 2023, Jul-15, Volume: 951

    Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (MRTK) has an inferior prognosis and is insensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Search for novel, potent medicinal agents is urgent. Herein, data on the gene expression and clinical characteristics of malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) were retrieved from the TARGET database. Prognosis-related genes were identified by differential analysis and one-way cox regression analysis, and prognosis-related signalling pathways were identified by enrichment analysis. The prognosis-related genes were imported into the Connectivity Map database for query, and BKM120 was predicted and screened as a potential therapeutic agent for MRTK. A combination of high-throughput RNA sequencing and Western blot verified that the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is associated with MRTK prognosis and is overactivated in MRTK. Our results outlined that BKM120 inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of G401 cells and induced apoptosis and cell cycle G0/G1 phase arrest. In vivo, BKM120 inhibited tumor growth and had no significant toxic side effects. Western blot and immunofluorescence results confirmed that BKM120 could reduce the expression of PI3K and p-AKT, critical proteins of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. BKM120 inhibits MRTK by inhibiting PI3K/Akt signalling pathway to induce apoptosis and cell cycle G0/G1 phase arrest, which is anticipated to give the clinical treatment of MRTK a new direction.

Benchmarking effects of mTOR, PI3K, and dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors in hepatocellular and renal cell carcinoma models developing resistance to sunitinib and sorafenib.
    Cancer chemotherapy and pharmacology, 2013, Volume: 71, Issue:5

    To evaluate first-generation rapamycin analogs (everolimus, temsirolimus, and rapamycin) and second-generation drugs inhibiting mTOR kinase (AZD-8055), PI3K (BKM-120) or both (BEZ-235 and GDC-0980) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells characterized for acquired resistance to sorafenib or sunitinib.. Anti-proliferative (MTT assay) and cell signaling (Western blot) effects of rapamycin analogs (1-20 μM) and second-generation drugs (0.03-20.0 μM) were assessed in human HCC SK-HEP1, RCC 786-0, and sorafenib- (SK-Sora) or sunitinib-resistant (786-Suni) cells.. In SK-HEP1 cells displaying high PTEN and Bcl2 expression, rapamycin analogs had poor anti-proliferative effects. However, SK-Sora cells were more sensitive to rapamycin analogs (≥1 μM) than SK-HEP1 cells. In 786-0 cells, lacking PTEN and Bcl2 expression, ≥1 μM rapamycin analogs blocked mTORC1 signaling, transiently activated Akt, and inhibited cell proliferation. Protracted sunitinib exposure in 786-Suni cells yielded an increase in p27 expression and a decreased sensitivity to rapamycin analogs, although mTORC1 function could be inhibited with rapamycin analogs. Second-generation drugs induced more potent growth inhibition than rapamycin analogs at concentrations >0.03 μM in parental cells, SK-Sora, and 786-Suni cells. Growth inhibitory concentrations of these new drugs also blocked mTORC1 downstream targets.. Rapamycin analogs inhibited mTORC1 downstream targets and yielded anti-proliferative effects in HCC and RCC cells. Second-generation drugs also appeared to be potent inhibitors of mTORC1 signaling; however, they appeared to be far more potent in inhibiting cellular proliferation in parental HCC and RCC cells and in cells developing resistance to sorafenib or sunitinib.
