Description
Three PI3K mutant breast cancer cell lines were rendered resistant to PI3K inhibitors (BYL719 or GDC-0941), and a panel of 42 inhibitor compounds was tested on the cells for ability to resensitize the cells to PI3K inhibition. The CDK4/6 inhibitor ribociclib (LEE011) acted synergistically with PI3K inhibitor to reduce viability in all three resistant cell lines. In a panel of 12 PIK3CA mutant and 10 wild type cell lines, synergistic effects between P110alpha inhibitor BYL719 and ribociclib were significantly stronger (weighted synergy score calculation, ANOVA, p=0.012) in PIK3CA mutant cells, indicating variant specific sensitization. Mouse xenografts of 4 different PIK3CA mutant breast cancer cells resistant to PI3K inhibitor showed stronger regression under dual PI3K inhibitor and ribociclib treatment than with either treatment alone.
