Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer and is the seventh leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) accounts for over 90% of pancreatic cancers. Most pancreatic cancers are recalcitrant to radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, highlighting the urgent need for novel treatment options for this deadly disease. To this end, we screened a library of kinase inhibitors in the PDAC cell lines PANC-1 and BxPC-3 and identified two highly potent molecules: Aurora kinase inhibitor AT 9283 (AT) and EGFR kinase inhibitor WZ 3146 (WZ). Both AT and WZ exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of viability in both cell lines. Thus, we conducted an in-depth multilevel (cellular, molecular, and proteomic) analysis with AT and WZ in PANC-1 cells, which harbor KRAS mutation and exhibit quasimesenchymal properties representing pancreatic cancer cells as having intrinsic chemoresistance and the potential for differential response to therapy. Elucidation of the molecular mechanism of action of AT and WZ revealed an impact on the programmed cell death pathway with an increase in apoptotic, multicaspase, and caspase 3/7 positive cells. Additionally, the key survival molecule Bcl-2 was impacted. Moreover, cell cycle arrest was observed with both kinase inhibitors. Additionally, an increase in superoxide radicals was observed in the AT-treated group. Importantly, proteomic profiling revealed differentially regulated key entities with multifaceted effects, which could have a deleterious impact on PDAC. These findings suggest potential targets for efficacious treatment, including a possible increase in the efficacy of immunotherapy using PD-L1 antibody due to the upregulation of lactoferrin and radixin. Furthermore, combination therapy outcomes with gemcitabine/platinum drugs may also be more effective due to an increase in the NADH dehydrogenase complex. Notably, protein-protein interaction analysis (STRING) revealed possible enrichment of reactome pathway entities. Additionally, novel therapy options, such as vimentin-antibody--drug conjugates, could be explored. Therefore, future studies with the two kinases as monotherapy/combination therapy are warranted.

BML-265 and Tyrphostin AG1478 Disperse the Golgi Apparatus and Abolish Protein Transport in Human Cells. Front Cell Dev Biol 2019; 7:232.

Abstract
The steady-state localization of Golgi-resident glycosylation enzymes in the Golgi apparatus depends on a balance between anterograde and retrograde transport. Using the Retention Using Selective Hooks (RUSH) assay and high-content screening, we identified small molecules that perturb the localization of Mannosidase II (ManII) used as a model cargo for Golgi resident enzymes. In particular, we found that two compounds known as EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, namely BML-265 and Tyrphostin AG1478 disrupt Golgi integrity and abolish secretory protein transport of diverse cargos, thus inducing brefeldin A-like effects. Interestingly, BML-265 and Tyrphostin AG1478 affect Golgi integrity and transport in human cells but not in rodent cells. The effects of BML-265 are reversible since Golgi integrity and protein transport are quickly restored upon washout of the compounds. BML-265 and Tyrphostin AG1478 do not lead to endosomal tubulation suggesting that, contrary to brefeldin A, they do not target the trans-Golgi ARF GEF BIG1 and BIG2. They quickly induce COPI dissociation from Golgi membranes suggesting that, in addition to EGFR kinase, the cis-Golgi ARF GEF GBF1 might also be a target of these molecules. Accordingly, overexpression of GBF1 prevents the effects of BML-265 and Tyrphostin AG1478 on Golgi integrity.
