Definitions
- the present invention relates to the joint use of a TrkA inhibitor and an EphA2 inhibitor for use in the treatment of solid cancers and to a prognosis method for the survival of a patient suffering from solid cancer.
- inhibitor of TrkA and an inhibitor of EphA2 for use in the treatment of solid cancers are also relates to a method for predicting the survival of a patient suffering from a solid cancer.
- the progression of a cancer involves many stages, depending in particular on the size of the primary tumor but also on the ability of tumor cells to metastasize in organs distant from the primary tumor. There are many reasons to explain the large number of failures in the therapeutic treatment of cancers. In many cases, the therapeutic failure is associated with the activation of transduction signals under receptors with tyrosine kinase activity (1).
- Tyrosine kinase receptors also known as growth factor receptors, are a sub-family of protein kinases that act specifically on protein tyrosine residues. These transmembrane glycoproteins are composed of a highly variable extracellular domain capable of binding the ligand, a transmembrane domain allowing for anchoring in the cell membrane and an intracellular (cytoplasmic) domain that contains the tyrosine kinase activity and allows the signal transduction within the cell.
- RTKs can be classified into several subclasses according to the characteristics of the extracellular receptor tyrosine kinase region.
- anti-tumor therapies targeting growth factors, their receptors (receptors with tyrosine kinase activity), or the effectors of their signaling allowed the development of anticancer drugs.
- NGF Nerve Growth Factor
- TrkA receptors Tropomyosin receptor kinase A
- p75 NTR p75 Neurotrophin Receptor
- proNGF NGF precursor
- breast cancer see, for example, US 2009068200 Al
- TrkA receptor is not only activated by the NGF but also by its precursor, the proNGF.
- proNGF is correlated with ganglionic invasion.
- proNGF would increase the migratory and invasive capabilities of breast cancer cells in vitro (3).
- proNGF pro-invasive growth factor
- sortilin a Vps10P domain transmembrane receptor
- TrkA receptor a Vps10P domain transmembrane receptor
- Phosphorylation of TrkA induces Src and Akt proteins, which play a role in cancer development (3).
- proNGF / TrkA axis plays an important role in the tumor progression of solid cancers (carcinomas or sarcomas), especially breast cancer.
- TrkA inhibitors such as for example lataurtinib and its derivatives
- Treatments using TrkA inhibitors are therefore not used for solid tumors.
- TrkA inhibitor and on the other hand, of an EpbA2 inhibitor, made it possible to effectively treat certain forms of cancers, especially solid cancers and especially breast cancer.
- the inventors have succeeded in demonstrating, very surprisingly, a signaling platform in breast cancer cells, causing resistance to commonly used TrkA tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
- TrkA receptor associates directly with the EphA2 receptor under the effect of the fixation of the proNGF on the sortilin and that the TrkA / EpfiA2 complex is at the origin of the activation of a signaling, independent of the TrkA phosphorylation hitherto known and targeted by lestaurtinib.
- the concomitant detection of TrkA and Eph2 also confirms the importance of the signaling induced by this complex. Indeed the presence of the complex is associated with a significant decrease in the overall survival of patients.
- the invention thus relates to an inhibitor of EpbA2 for use in the treatment of solid cancer treated with a TrkA inhibitor.
- the invention also relates to a TrkA inhibitor for use in the treatment of solid cancer treated with an EpbA2 inhibitor.
- TrkA inhibitor inhibits the TrkA phosphorylation-dependent signaling pathways that have been known to date.
- the proNGF by binding to the sortiline, causes the activation of the TrkA receptor, in turn inducing signaling pathways dependent on its phosphorylation.
- the phosphorylation of TrkA in particular allows the activation of the Akt protein, which plays a major role in the invasion of cancer cells.
- TrkA is part of the Trk kinases, subfamily RTK. Trk kinases comprise three isoforms with strong homology: TrkA, TrkB and TrkC, and are activated by growth factors, neurotrophins. TrkA is usually activated by NGF, but also by its precursor, the proNGF.

- Methods for producing humanized antibodies are described, for example, by Winter (US Pat. No. 5,225,539) and Boss (Celltech, US Pat. No. 4,816,397).
- the TrkA antagonist is selected from aptamers.
- Aptamers are a class of molecules that represent an alternative to antibodies in terms of molecular recognition.

- Ribozymes may also be used according to the invention as inhibitors of TrkA receptor gene expression. Ribozymes are enzymatic RNA molecules capable of catalyzing the specific cleavage of RNA. The mechanism of action of ribozymes involves sequence-specific hybridization of the ribozyme molecule to the complementary target RNA, followed by endonucleolytic cleavage. Pin-or-hammer pattern ribozymes that specifically and effectively catalyze endonucleolytic cleavage of the TrkA receptor mRNA sequences can therefore be used according to the invention.
- Cleavage-specific sites in any target RNA can be initially identified by scanning the target molecule for cleavage sites, which typically include the following sequences, GUA, GUU and GUC. Once identified, short AR sequences having between 15 and 20 ribonucleotides corresponding to the region of the target gene containing the cleavage site can be evaluated to predict structural characteristics, such as secondary structure, that may render the oligonucleotide sequence unsuitable. .

- the peptides are eluted in 45 min using a linear gradient of 5 to 70% of a solvent B (H 2 O / ACN, 20/80, v / v, 0.08%) of formic acid).
- a voltage of 1.5 kV is applied at the level of the nano-electrospray needle (external 0: 360 ⁇ , internal 0: 20 ⁇ , internal 0 of the tip of the needle: 10 ⁇ , covered with a conducting alloy , New Objective, Wil, Switzerland).
- the analyzes are performed in positive mode.
- Data acquisition is performed in automatic peptide sequencing mode consisting of alternating MS spectrum between m / z 500-2000 and MS / MS spectrum of the most intense ion of the previous MS spectrum.
- MS / MS spectra are acquired with an isolation window of the parent ion of 2 uma and with a collision energy of 35%.
- MS / MS.raw files are converted to .dta files using Bioworks 3.1 (Thermo Electron) software.
- the .dta files are then compiled using the merge.bat software downloadable via the Mascot Daemon software version 2.1.6 (www.matrixscience.com) for the interrogation of databases on SwissProt 51.4 (252616 sequences).
- the search parameters are as follows: Homo sapiens (taxonomy), a site authorized "missed cleavage" by trypsin, carbamidomethylation, oxidation of methionines and phosphorylation of residues Ser, Thr and Tyr (variable modifications), 2 Da (mass tolerance peptides) and 0.8 Da (mass tolerance of MS / MS).
- the Robust Multichip Average (RMA) standardization method 48 was used with the non-parametric quantile algorithm.
- RMA Robust Multichip Average
- the expression levels of NTRK1 have been standardized within each data set taking into account the luminal population A, the molecular subtype of tumors being defined by PAM50 "Predictor" (49).
- PAM50 "Predictor"
- the over-regulation of NTR 1 is defined by the expression increase above the median level.
- NRTK1 The correlations between the expression of NRTK1 and the histoclinical variables including the age of the patients at the time of diagnosis ( ⁇ 50 years vs> 50), the pathological state of the axillary lymph node (pN: negative vs positive), the tumor size (pT: pT1 vs pT2-3), stage (I vs 2-3), immunocyto chemistry (IHC) estrogen receptor alpha (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), status of ERBB2 receptor (positive vs negative) for each patient, and non-metastatic lifespan (MFS) for patients with no metastasis at diagnosis were sought. Survival without metastasis is calculated from the date of diagnosis to the date of the first discovered metastasis.
- IHC immunocyto chemistry
- ER estrogen receptor alpha
- PR progesterone receptor
- MFS non-metastatic lifespan
- NGF and proNGF are observed to increase the cellular invasion of cancer lines CAL33, DU145, PC3 and MDA-MB-231.
- the tumor cells FaDu and CAL27 do not respond to any of the growth factors, whereas the cellular invasion of SQ20B is only induced during the treatment with NGF (FIG. 1).
- EphA2 The involvement of EphA2 in the pro-invasive effects of proNGF was assessed using a Boyden chamber on EphA2 overexpressing cells (DU145, PC3 and MDA-MB-231). As shown in Figure 3, siEphA2 abolished proNGF-induced invasion in DU145, PC3 and MDA-MB-231 cells. These results indicate that EphA2 is involved in proNGF-induced invasion of cells overexpressing EphA2.
- DNA microarrays correlates the expression of the sortilin, TrkA and EphA2 receptors with a poor prognosis in breast cancer ( Figure 4 A). . Indeed, the expression of the three receptors induces a significant decrease in survival without metastasis in patients.
- the intensity of the PLA marking was scored as no signal, very weak / weak and medium / strong.
- the results are presented in the form of a Kaplan Meier graph. The results show that the association of TrkA and EphA2 receptors revealed by the Duolink® technique is correlated with a significant decrease (Log Rank Test, p ⁇ 0.0001) in the overall survival of the patients. The detection of the TrkA / EphA2 complex is therefore correlated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer. Immunoprecipitation tests
- TrkA The formation of a complex between TrkA, EphA2 and sortilin was analyzed by immunoprecipitation in MD A-MB-231 HA-TrkA cells as well as PLA (Proximity Ligation Assay) assays.
- the association of the 3 receptors in the complex was first demonstrated in mass spectrometry, the proteins immunoprecipitated by an antibody directed against HA-TrkA were identified (FIG. 5).
- the mass spectrometry analysis provides an irrefutable way of demonstrating the presence, in the complex formed by the action of proNGF, of TrkA, of sortilin and of EphA2.
- PLA assays performed on MD A-MB-231 cells were performed to confirm the interaction between sorbitin and HA-TrkA and between HA-TrkA and EphA2 in MD A-MB-231 HA-TrkA cells (results not shown). In the absence of proNGF, no PLA signal was visualized suggesting that these receptors do not form a preexisting complex.
- the PLA tests show an interaction between the sortiline and TrkA and between EphA2 and TrkA, which indicates that TrkA interacts directly with the sortiline and EphA2, and this at a distance of less than 40nm (results not shown) .
- NGF In comparison to proNGF, NGF induces no PLA signal in MDA-MB-231 cells, revealing the absence of receptor complex (results not shown).
- TrkA expression was inhibited by interfering RNAs (siTrkA) ( Figure 7A). TrkA and EphA2 are normally co-immunoprecipitated with the sortiline after 5 min of proNGF treatment. In contrast, cells treated with anti-TrkA interfering RNA (siTrkA) do not show an association between EphA2 and TrkA with the sortilin, indicating that the sortiline does not form a complex with EphA2 in the absence of TrkA.
- TrkA, sortiline and EphA2 do not form a preexisting complex
- TrkA / EphA2 complex needs, as a prerequisite, the proNGF / sortiline combination
- TrkA is necessary for the formation of this receptor complex, regardless of its phosphorylation state
- proNGF induces the association between sortilin and TrkA, subsequently inducing EphA2 recruitment on the sorcine / TrkA complex.
- TrkA and EphA2 are involved differently in the activation of proNGF-induced Akt and Src proteins.
- Akt and Src proteins are both involved in the pro-invasive effect of proNGF.
- TrkA inhibitor K252a
- siEphA2 an anti-EphA2 siR A
- SKI-1 an inhibitor of PI3-K
- EphA2 The involvement of EphA2 in Akt and Src activation was determined by transient cell transfection with anti-EphA2 interfering RNA ( Figure 8C). Inhibition of EphA2 decreases the phosphorylation of Src induced by proNGF but not that of Akt.
- NGF increases phosphorylation of Akt and Src while TrkA inhibitor K252a inhibits this activation (Figure 8D). This result was confirmed by the use of a TrkA Kinase-Dead mutant (FIG. 8E). Activations of Src and Akt by NGF are not interconnected as for proNGF ( Figure 8D). Unlike proNGF, the effects of NGF on Src and Akt are independent of EphA2 ( Figure 8F). Inhibition of EphA2 only reduces basal activation of phospho-Akt and phospho-Src but not NGF-induced phosphorylation. Indeed, NGF is able to increase phosphorylation of Akt and Src even in cells where EphA2 expression is inhibited. These results show that activation of Akt and Src are downstream of TrkA in the presence of NGF.
- proNGF-induced Src activation requires both TrkA and EphA2 but is independent of TrkA phosphorylation.
- proNGF-induced Akt activation is dependent on phosphorylation of TrkA but not EphA2.
- NGF signaling requires only TrkA to activate Akt and Src without any involvement of EphA2.
- Example 3 The TrkA / EphA2 complex is involved in the development and aggressiveness of tumors in vivo
- Example 1 Tumor line xenograft assays on immuno-deficient mice were performed using MDA-MB-231 cells.
- mice used are SCID females of six weeks old.
- the MDA-MB-231 HA-TrkA cells (3 ⁇ 10 6 ) are injected subcutaneously into the flanks of the mice.
- the mice are then randomly distributed in the experimental groups (7 mice in the control group and 6 in the others). 14 days after inoculation of the cells, the animals are treated three times with an interval of 3 days between each injection.
- CEP-701 (Calbiochem) is dissolved in a mixture (40% polyethylene glycol 1000, 10% povidone C30 and 2% benzyl alcohol in distilled water) and injected intraperitoneally (10 mg / kg).
- EphA2 siR A 7.5 micro g / mouse
- in vivo jetPEI® Polyplus transfection
- the tumor volume is measured according to the following formula: ⁇ / 6 x length x width x (width + length) / 2.
- Statistical analyzes are performed using the Mann and Whitney test and the GraphPad Prism 5.01 software.
- mice used are SCID females of six weeks old.
- the MDA-MB-231 HA-TrkA cells (3 ⁇ 10 6 ) are injected subcutaneously into the flanks of the mice.
- the mice are then randomly distributed in the experimental groups (10 mice / group). 14 days after inoculation of the cells, the animals are treated five times with an interval of 3 days between each injection.
- the siRNAs EphA2 and TrkA (7.5 micro g / mouse) are injected near the tumor mass using in vivo jetPEI® (Polyplus transfection) according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
- the tumor volume is measured according to the following formula: ⁇ / 6 x length x width x (width + length) / 2. Survival is represented as a Kaplan Meier graph.
- TrkA inhibitor has previously been shown to decrease the growth of xenografted tumors with MDA-MB-231 cells overexpressing TrkA (34).
- K252a analogue CEP-701 at 10mg / kg was used to ensure a moderate decrease in tumor growth.
- tumor volume is slightly but significantly reduced by CEP-701 treatment compared to control.
- Targeting EpbA2 also greatly reduces the growth of xenografted tumors.
- the combined treatment CEP-701 / siEphA2 induces a significant decrease in tumor burden in comparison with CEP-701 alone or siEphA2 alone.
- Example 4 A Combination Therapy of a TrkA Inhibitor (Lestaurtinib) and an EphA2 Inhibitor (EphrinAl-Fc) Decreases the Invasion of Breast Cancer Cells
- the invasion test is performed on MDA-MB-231 cells. Unstimulated proNGF cells serve as control and determine a basal invasion of 100% (white bar in Figure 10). For treatments, the following concentrations are applied: 0.5 nM proNGF NC, 10 nM lestaurtinib, Ephrin Al-Fc (1 microg / ml), DMSO 1/000 th vol / vol for unstimulated conditions (Non stim). For statistics, the error bars represent the standard deviation. * p ⁇ 0.001 for the combination of ettaurtinib + Ephrin Al-Fc treatment vs the unstimulated treatments alone (lestaurtinib or Ephrin Al-Fc).
- Example 5 The TrkA / EphA2 complex is also found in several types of tumors Unless otherwise indicated, the products, reagents and cell cultures are the same as those of Example 1.
- T4-stage oral tumor samples (NO, MO) with bone infiltration (obtained from the pathology department of the University Hospital of Lille) are deparaffected by ClaRal (xylene derivative) baths (1 x 12 h and 1 x 5 h). The sections are then rehydrated by successive baths: ClaRal / 100% ethanol (1: 1) (1 x 5 min), 100% ethanol (2 x 5 min), 96% ethanol (2 x 5 min), ethanol 70% (2 x 5 min), distilled H 2 O (1 x 5 min).
- Blocking of endogenous peroxidases is achieved by a solution of hydrogen peroxide supplied in the Duolink In Situ® Brightfield Reagent Detection Kit (DUO92012, Sigma-Aldrich) for 10 min at 20 ° C. The sections were then washed with TBS (20 mM Tris base, 137 mM NaCl) (2 x 5 min) and then incubated with a blocking solution provided in the Duolink® kit (Blocking solution, 1h, 20 ° C). The primary anti-TrkA antibodies diluted 1/25 (ANT-018; Alomone Labs) and anti-EphA2 diluted 1: 50 (AF3035; RD Systems) were then incubated in the blocking solution at 4 ° C overnight.
- the ligation step is carried out according to the supplier's recommendations. After two 5 min washings with solution A, amplification of the probes is carried out with a polymerase (1 / 80th in amplification buffer IX, 2h 37 ° C.). Signal detection and counterstaining are performed according to the protocol established by the supplier. The sections are then washed three times for 5 min in distilled water and then dehydrated by successive baths of 70% ethanol (2 ⁇ 5 min), ethanol 96% (2 ⁇ 5 min), ethanol 100 ml. % (2 x 5 min), ClaRal / ethanol 100% (1: 1) (1 x 5 min) and ClaRal (2 x 10 min).
- TrkA and EphA2 were detected by immunohistochemical staining and the TrkA / Epha2 combination was detected by PLA (Duolink®) in a tumor of the oral cavity. While the adjacent epithelium and tumor masses show TrkA and EphA2 labeling, only the tumor mass is positive (punctiform labeling) for PLA (results not shown). This highlights a similar mechanism of action of TrkA and EphA2 in tumors of the oral cavity as in breast tumors.
- TrkA and EphA2 act on the invasion and growth of cancer cells, justifying the interest of a combination between a TrkA inhibitor and an inhibitor. EphA2 to fight against these forms of solid cancer.
