Abstract

There is a need to improve treatments for metastatic breast cancer. Here, we show the activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways in a MMTV-CreBrca1f/fTrp53+/− mouse model of breast cancer. When treated with the pan-class IA PI3K inhibitor NVP-BKM120, tumor doubling was delayed from 5 to 26 days. NVP-BKM120 reduced AKT phosphorylation, tumor cell proliferation, and angiogenesis. Resistant tumors maintained suppression of AKT phosphorylation but exhibited activation of the MAPK pathway at the “pushing margin.” Surprisingly, PI3K inhibition increased indicators of DNA damage, poly-ADP-ribosylation (PAR), and γ-H2AX, but decreased Rad51 focus formation, suggesting a critical role of PI3K activity for Rad51 recruitment. The PARP inhibitor olaparib alone attenuated tumor growth modestly; however, the combination of NVP-BKM120 and olaparib delayed tumor doubling to more than 70 days in the mouse model and more than 50 days in xenotransplants from human BRCA1-related tumors, suggesting that combined PI3K and PARP inhibition might be an effective treatment of BRCA1-related tumors. Significance: Current treatment options for triple-negative breast cancer are limited to chemotherapeutic regimens that have considerable toxicity and are not curative. We report here that the combination of a PI3K inhibitor with a PARP inhibitor provides in vivo synergy for treatment of an endogenous mouse model for BRCA1-related breast cancers, making this a candidate combination to be tested in human clinical trials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
