Okudaira N, Burt H, Mitra A. Tipifarnib physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling to assess drug-drug interaction, organ impairment, and biopharmaceutics in healthy subjects and cancer patients. CPT Pharmacometrics Syst Pharmacol 2024. [PMID: 38807307 DOI: 10.1002/psp4.13165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024] Open
Abstract
A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for tipifarnib, which included mechanistic absorption, was built and verified by integrating in vitro data and several clinical data in healthy subjects and cancer patients. The final PBPK model was able to recover the clinically observed single and multiple-dose plasma concentrations of tipifarnib in healthy subjects and cancer patients under several dosing conditions, such as co-administration with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor and inducer, an acid-reducing agent (proton pump inhibitor and H2 receptor antagonist), and with a high-fat meal. In addition, the model was able to accurately predict the effect of mild or moderate hepatic impairment on tipifarnib exposure. The appropriately verified model was applied to prospectively simulate the liability of tipifarnib as a victim of CYP3A4 enzyme-based drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with a moderate inhibitor and inducer as well as tipifarnib as a perpetrator of DDIs with sensitive substrates of CYP3A4, CYP2B6, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 in healthy subjects and cancer patients. The effect of a high-fat meal, acid-reducing agent, and formulation change at the therapeutic dose was simulated. Finally, the model was used to predict the effect of mild, moderate, or severe hepatic, and renal impairment on tipifarnib PK. This multipronged approach of combining the available clinical data with PBPK modeling-guided dosing recommendations for tipifarnib under several conditions. This example showcases the totality of the data approach to gain a more thorough understanding of clinical pharmacology and biopharmaceutic properties of oncology drugs in development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is related to natural killer (NK) cells, but the molecular subtype features of CRC based on NK cells are still unknown. This study aimed to identify NK cell-related molecular subtypes of CRC and analyze the survival status and immune landscape of patients with different subtypes. PATIENTS/MATERIAL AND METHODS mRNA expression data, single nucleotide variant (SNV) data, and clinical information of CRC patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained through differential analysis, and the intersection was taken with NK cell-associated genes to obtain 103 NK cell-associated CRC DEGs (NCDEGs). Based on NCDEGs, CRC samples were divided into three clusters through unsupervised clustering analysis. Survival analysis, immune analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), and tumor mutation burden (TMB) analysis were performed. Finally, NCDEG-related small-molecule drugs were screened using the CMap database. RESULTS Survival analysis revealed that cluster2 had a lower survival rate than cluster1 and cluster3 (p < 0.05). Immune infiltration analysis found that the immune infiltration levels and immune checkpoint expression levels of cluster1_3 were substantially higher than those of cluster2, and the tumor purity was the opposite (p < 0.05). GSEA presented that cluster1_3 was significantly enriched in the chemokine signaling pathway, ECM receptor interaction, and antigen processing and presentation pathways (p < 0.05). The TMB of cluster1_3 was significantly higher than that of cluster2 (p < 0.05). Genes with the highest mutation rate in CRC were APC, TP53, TTN, and KRAS. Drug prediction results showed that small-molecule drugs that reverse the upregulation of NCDEGs, deoxycholic acid, dipivefrine, phenformin, and other drugs may improve the prognosis of CRC. CONCLUSION NK cell-associated CRC subtypes can be used to evaluate the tumor characteristics of CRC patients and provide an important reference for CRC patients.

Liu S, Han B, Wang R, Fang J. Elucidating the role of FOS in modulating the immune microenvironment through fibroblast and myeloid cell regulation in locoregional recurrent HNSCC. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2024. [PMID: 38567514 DOI: 10.1002/tox.24262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) presents a significant clinical challenge, particularly due to its high propensity for locoregional recurrence. Current research underscores the need to unravel the complex interactions within the tumor microenvironment. This study addresses the critical gap in understanding how FOS modulates the immune landscape in HNSCC, with a focus on its influence on fibroblast and myeloid cell dynamics. METHODS Employing a comprehensive approach, we analyzed tissue samples from HNSCC patients and adjacent non-cancerous tissues using bulk RNA sequencing complemented by in-depth bioinformatics analyses, including gene ontology (GO), Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, and immune infiltration assessment. A pivotal aspect of our research involved dissecting single-cell RNA-seq data from GSE234933 to elucidate the cell-type-specific expression of FOS. RESULTS We found that FOS expression varies significantly in different cell populations in the HNSCC tumor microenvironment, especially in fibroblasts and myeloid cells. This expression difference may reflect the different roles of these cells in tumor progression and their impact on the tumor microenvironment. CONCLUSION Our results uncover a significant correlation between FOS expression and key immune and hypoxia-related pathways, suggesting its integral role in the tumor microenvironment. These findings not only enhance our understanding of HNSCC pathogenesis but also highlight FOS as a potential therapeutic target. This study marks a significant step towards addressing the urgent need for targeted interventions in HNSCC, particularly in the context of locoregional recurrence.

Abstract
Protein lipidation describes a diverse class of post-translational modifications (PTMs) that is regulated by over 40 enzymes, targeting more than 1,000 substrates at over 3,000 sites. Lipidated proteins include more than 150 oncoproteins, including mediators of cancer initiation, progression and immunity, receptor kinases, transcription factors, G protein-coupled receptors and extracellular signalling proteins. Lipidation regulates the physical interactions of its protein substrates with cell membranes, regulating protein signalling and trafficking, and has a key role in metabolism and immunity. Targeting protein lipidation, therefore, offers a unique approach to modulate otherwise undruggable oncoproteins; however, the full spectrum of opportunities to target the dysregulation of these PTMs in cancer remains to be explored. This is attributable in part to the technological challenges of identifying the targets and the roles of protein lipidation. The early stage of drug discovery for many enzymes in the pathway contrasts with efforts for drugging similarly common PTMs such as phosphorylation and acetylation, which are routinely studied and targeted in relevant cancer contexts. Here, we review recent advances in identifying targetable protein lipidation pathways in cancer, the current state-of-the-art in drug discovery, and the status of ongoing clinical trials, which have the potential to deliver novel oncology therapeutics targeting protein lipidation.

Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a highly prevalent malignancy worldwide, with a significant proportion of patients developing recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) disease. Despite recent advances in therapy, the prognosis for patients with advanced HNSCC remains poor. Here, we present the case of a patient with recurrent metastatic HNSCC harboring an HRAS G12S mutation who achieved a durable response to treatment with tipifarnib, a selective inhibitor of farnesyltransferase. The patient was a 48-year-old woman who had previously received multiple lines of therapy with no significant clinical response. However, treatment with tipifarnib resulted in a durable partial response that lasted 8 months. Serial genomic and transcriptomic analyses demonstrated upregulation of YAP1 and AXL in metastatic lesions compared with the primary tumor, the evolution of the tumor microenvironment from an immune-enriched to a fibrotic subtype with increased angiogenesis, and activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in tipifarnib treatment. Lastly, in HRAS-mutated PDXs and in the syngeneic HRAS model, we demonstrated that tipifarnib efficacy is limited by activation of the AKT pathway, and dual treatment with tipifarnib and the PI3K inhibitor, BYL719, resulted in enhanced anti-tumor efficacy. Our case study highlights the potential of targeting HRAS mutations with tipifarnib in R/M HNSCC and identifies potential mechanisms of acquired resistance to tipifarnib, along with immuno-, chemo-, and radiation therapy. Preclinical results provide a firm foundation for further investigation of drug combinations of HRAS-and PI3K -targeting therapeutics in R/M HRAS-driven HNSCC.

Abstract
In light of a global rise in the number of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), now known as metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), has become the leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with the annual occurrence of MASLD-driven HCC expected to increase by 45%-130% by 2030. Although MASLD has become a serious major public health threat globally, the exact molecular mechanisms mediating MASLD-driven HCC remain an open problem, necessitating future investigation. Meanwhile, emerging studies are focusing on the utility of bioactive compounds to halt the progression of MASLD to MASLD-driven HCC. In this review, we first briefly review the recent progress of the possible mechanisms of pathogenesis and progression for MASLD-driven HCC. We then discuss the application of bioactive compounds to mitigate MASLD-driven HCC through different modulatory mechanisms encompassing anti-inflammatory, lipid metabolic, and gut microbial pathways, providing valuable information for future treatment and prevention of MASLD-driven HCC. Nonetheless, clinical research exploring the effectiveness of herbal medicines in the treatment of MASLD-driven HCC is still warranted.

Abstract
RAS genes are known to be dysregulated in cancer for several decades, and substantial effort has been dedicated to develop agents that reduce RAS expression or block RAS activation. The recent introduction of RAS inhibitors for cancer patients highlights the importance of comprehending RAS alterations in head and neck cancer (HNC). In this regard, we examine the published findings on RAS alterations and pathway activations in HNC, and summarize their role in HNC initiation, progression, and metastasis. Specifically, we focus on the intrinsic role of mutated-RAS on tumor cell signaling and its extrinsic role in determining tumor-microenvironment (TME) heterogeneity, including promoting angiogenesis and enhancing immune escape. Lastly, we summarize the intrinsic and extrinsic role of RAS alterations on therapy resistance to outline the potential of targeting RAS using a single agent or in combination with other therapeutic agents for HNC patients with RAS-activated tumors.

Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) are often associated with poor outcomes, due at least in part to the limited number of treatment options available for those patients who develop recurrent and/or metastatic disease (R/M HNSCC). Even with the recent validation and approval of immunotherapies in the first-line setting for these patients, the need for the development of new and alternative precision medicine strategies with survival benefit is clear. Oncogenic alterations in the HRAS (Harvey rat sarcoma virus) proto-oncogene are seen in approximately 4-8% of R/M HNSCC tumors. Recently, several preclinical and clinical advancements have been made in the implementation of small-molecule inhibitors that block post-translational farnesylation of HRas, thereby abrogating its downstream oncogenic activity. In this review, we focus on the biology of wild-type and mutant HRas signaling in HNSCC, and rationale for use and outcomes of farnesyltransferase inhibitors in patients with HRAS-mutant tumors.
