Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial dysfunction is a primary driver of cardiac contractile failure; yet, the cross talk between mitochondrial energetics and signaling regulation remains obscure. Ponatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia, is among the most cardiotoxic tyrosine kinase inhibitors and causes mitochondrial dysfunction. Whether ponatinib-induced mitochondrial dysfunction triggers the integrated stress response (ISR) to induce ponatinib-induced cardiotoxicity remains to be determined. METHODS Using human induced pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes and a recently developed mouse model of ponatinib-induced cardiotoxicity, we performed proteomic analysis, molecular and biochemical assays to investigate the relationship between ponatinib-induced mitochondrial stress and ISR and their role in promoting ponatinib-induced cardiotoxicity. RESULTS Proteomic analysis revealed that ponatinib activated the ISR in cardiac cells. We identified GCN2 (general control nonderepressible 2) as the eIF2α (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α) kinase responsible for relaying mitochondrial stress signals to trigger the primary ISR effector-ATF4 (activating transcription factor 4), upon ponatinib exposure. Mechanistically, ponatinib treatment exerted inhibitory effects on ATP synthase activity and reduced its expression levels resulting in ATP deficits. Perturbed mitochondrial function resulting in ATP deficits then acts as a trigger of GCN2-mediated ISR activation, effects that were negated by nicotinamide mononucleotide, an NAD+ precursor, supplementation. Genetic inhibition of ATP synthase also activated GCN2. Interestingly, we showed that the decreased abundance of ATP also facilitated direct binding of ponatinib to GCN2, unexpectedly causing its activation most likely because of a conformational change in its structure. Importantly, administering an ISR inhibitor protected human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes against ponatinib. Ponatinib-treated mice also exhibited reduced cardiac function, effects that were attenuated upon systemic ISRIB administration. Importantly, ISRIB does not affect the antitumor effects of ponatinib in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Neutralizing ISR hyperactivation could prevent or reverse ponatinib-induced cardiotoxicity. The findings that compromised ATP production potentiates GCN2-mediated ISR activation have broad implications across various cardiac diseases. Our results also highlight an unanticipated role of ponatinib in causing direct activation of a kinase target despite its role as an ATP-competitive kinase inhibitor.

Abstract
Severe diarrhea is a common side effect of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). We aimed to evaluate the risk of EGFR-TKI-induced diarrhea using spheroids of human and monkey crypt-derived intestinal stem cells. Intestinal spheroids exhibited higher toxic susceptibility to EGFR-TKIs than Caco-2 cells. As concentration of EGFR-TKIs increased, cellular ATP first decreased relative to the control condition, followed by an increase in LDH release, in contrast with their simultaneous changes with traditional cytotoxic anticancer drugs. The toxic sensitivity of spheroids to various EGFR-TKIs corresponded to clinical diarrhea incidence. Afatinib, a second-generation EGFR-TKI, exhibited higher toxic sensitivity compared with the first-generation ones, corresponding to the clinical evidence that afatinib-induced diarrhea is almost inevitable and severe. By contrast, the third-generation osimertinib, which reduces the risk of diarrhea, showed mitigated cytotoxicity compared with afatinib. For irreversible EGFR-TKIs, the decreased ATP level persisted or its recovery was delayed even after drug removal compared with reversible ones. Furthermore, the highest drug accumulation in spheroids (TKIspheroids) and inhibition potency against EGFR (TKIspheroids/Ki) were observed for afatinib. This system would be useful for predicting the risk of EGFR-TKI-induced diarrhea; moreover, on-target cytotoxicity against intestinal stem cells might contribute to clinically observed diarrhea.

Abstract
Roginolisib (IOA-244) is a novel, non-ATP competitive phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) delta inhibitor that regulates Akt/mTOR signaling. Roginolisib was administered once daily to rats and dogs in dose-range finding (DRF) and 4-week GLP toxicology studies. Free plasma levels of roginolisib exceeded the cellular target engagement IC90 for PI3Kδ for ≥12 hours at doses of 5 mg/kg, the IC90 for PI3Kβ for ≥2 hours at doses ≥15 mg/kg, and the IC50 for PI3Kα for ≥2 hours at dose levels ≥45 mg/kg. Toxicity in rats occurred at doses ≥100 mg/kg. In dogs, we observed dose-dependent skin and gastrointestinal toxicity and doses ≥30 mg/kg had a greater incidence of mortality. Lymphoid tissue toxicity occurred in both species. Toxicities in dogs observed at the ≥15 mg/kg dose, affecting the digestive mucosa, liver, and skin, cleared after treatment cessation. Doses ≤75 mg/kg were tolerated in rats and the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) in rats was 15 mg/kg. Due to mainly epithelial lesions of the skin at 5 mg/kg and necrotizing damage of the intestinal epithelia at ≥15 mg/kg, no NOAEL was determined in dogs. However, the adverse effects observed in dogs at 5 mg/kg were considered monitorable and reversible in patients with advanced malignancies. Furthermore, the PK profile subsequently proved to be a decisive factor for achieving selective PI3Kδ inhibition without the toxicities observed in dogs. As the result of the unique PK profile of roginolisib, patients were able to take daily roginolisib without dose modification and showed pharmacodynamic PI3Kδ inhibition over several months without gastrointestinal or dermatologic toxicities.

Abstract
BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have dramatically improved survival in Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemias. Newer BCR-ABL TKIs provide superior cancer outcomes but with increased risk of acute arterial thrombosis, which further increases in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities and mitigates survival benefits compared to imatinib. Recent studies implicate endothelial cell (EC) damage in this toxicity by unknown mechanisms with few side-by-side comparisons of multiple TKIs and with no available data on endothelial impact of recently approved TKIs or novels TKIs being tested in clinical trials. To characterize BCR-ABL TKI induced EC dysfunction we exposed primary human umbilical vein ECs in 2D and 3D culture to clinically relevant concentrations of seven BCR-ABL TKIs and quantified their impact on EC scratch-wound healing, viability, inflammation, and permeability mechanisms. Dasatinib, ponatinib, and nilotinib, the TKIs associated with thrombosis in patients, all significantly impaired EC wound healing, survival, and proliferation compared to imatinib, but only dasatinib and ponatinib impaired cell migration and only nilotinib enhanced EC necrosis. Dasatinib and ponatinib increased leukocyte adhesion to ECs with upregulation of adhesion molecule expression in ECs (ICAM1, VCAM1, and P-selectin) and leukocytes (PSGL1). Dasatinib increased permeability and impaired cell junctional integrity in human engineered microvessels, consistent with its unique association with pleural effusions. Of the new agents, bafetinib decreased EC viability and increased microvessel permeability while asciminib and radotinib did not impact any EC function tested. In summary, the vasculotoxic TKIs (dasatinib, ponatinib, nilotinib) cause EC toxicity but with mechanistic differences, supporting the potential need for drug-specific vasculoprotective strategies. Asciminib and radotinib do not induce EC toxicity at clinically relevant concentrations suggesting a better safety profile.

Abstract
Crizotinib is the first-line drug for advanced non-small cell lung cancer with the abnormal expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene. Severe, life-threatening, or fatal interstitial lung disease/pneumonia has been reported in patients treated with crizotinib. The clinical benefit of crizotinib is limited by its pulmonary toxicity, but the underlying mechanisms have not been adequately studied, and protective strategies are relatively scarce. Here, we established an in vivo mouse model in which crizotinib was continuously administered to C57BL/6 at 100 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks and verified that crizotinib induced interstitial lung disease in vivo, which was consistent with the clinical observations. We further treated BEAS-2B and TC-1 cells, the alveolar epithelial cell lines, with crizotinib and found the increased apoptosis rate. We proved that crizotinib-blocked autophagic flux caused apoptosis of the alveolar epithelial cells and then promoted the recruitment of immune cells, suggesting that limited autophagy activity was the key reason for pulmonary injury and inflammation caused by crizotinib. Subsequently, we found that metformin could reduce the macrophage recruitment and pulmonary fibrosis by recovering the autophagy flux, thereby ameliorating impaired lung function caused by crizotinib. In conclusion, our study revealed the mechanism of crizotinib-induced apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells and activation of inflammation during the onset of pulmonary toxicity and provided a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of crizotinib-induced pulmonary toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anlotinib, a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been shown to have encouraging activity against many tumors, but its cardiovascular toxicity has not been investigated specifically. We reviewed anlotinib-associated cardiovascular adverse events in patients and explored its cardiotoxicity in vitro. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all cardiovascular events in 62 patients with unresectable tumors who had taken anlotinib and mainly examined anlotinib's effects on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and blood pressure. Besides, we investigated its cardiotoxicity in Neonatal Rat Ventricular Myocytes (NRVMs). RESULTS All-grade hypertension was seen in 60 patients (97%), and 25 individuals (40%) developed grade 3 hypertension. Significant univariate associations for predictors of post-treatment hypertension were age (P<0.001), BMI (P=0.003), ECOG PS(P<0.001), diabetes mellitus (P=0.035), dose of anlotinib (P=0.025). Multivariate analysis suggested that age [odds ratio (OR) 1.079, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.029-1.130, P= 0.001] and BMI [OR 3.448, 95% CI: 1.410-8.433, P= 0.007] were the only significant independent predictors. No grade 3/4 left ventricular systolic dysfunction was reported. One patient (2%) had acute myocardial infarction, leading to cardiac death. In vitro, western blotting results showed that the levels of ANP, BNP, c-Myc and Cleaved Caspase3 were notably increased and cardiomyocyte apoptosis was strikingly increased in anlotinib group, as detected by TUNEL staining and Annexin V-FITC/PI flow cytometry. CONCLUSIONS Our study results showed that anlotinib could induce rat cardiomyocytes apoptosis. Nonetheless, anlotinib-associated cardiovascular toxicity was acceptable and manageable for patients with unresectable tumors.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which have been developed and approved for cancer treatment in the last few years, are involved in synaptic plasticity of learning and memory. Epigenetic modifications also play crucial roles in the process of learning and memory, but its relationship with TKI-induced learning and memory impairment has not been investigated. We hypothesized that LPM4870108, an effective anti-cancer Trk inhibitor, might affect the learning and memory via epigenetic modifications. In this study, rats were orally administered with LPM4870108 (0, 1.25, 2.5, or 5.0 mg/kg) twice daily for 28 days, after which animals were subjected to a Morris water maze test. LPM4870108 exposure caused learning and memory impairments in this test in a dose-dependent manner and reduced the spine densities. Whole-genome transcriptomic analysis revealed significant differences in the patterns of hippocampal gene expression in LPM4870108-treated rats. These transcriptomic data were combined with next-generation bisulfite sequencing analysis, after which RT-PCR and pyrosequencing were conducted, revealing epigenetic alterations associated with genes (Snx8, Fgfr1, Dusp4, Vav2, and Satb2) known to regulate learning and memory. Increased mRNA and protein expression levels of hippocampal Dnmt1 and Dnmt3a were also observed in these rats. Overall, these data suggest that gene-specific alterations in patterns of DNA methylation can potentially contribute to the incidence of learning and memory deficits associated with exposure to LPM4870108.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the leading cause of acute liver failure and a major concern in drug development. Altered bile acid homeostasis via inhibition of the bile salt export pump (BSEP) is one mechanism of DILI. Dasatinib, pazopanib, and sorafenib are tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that competitively inhibit BSEP and increase serum biomarkers for hepatotoxicity in ∼25-50% of patients. However, the mechanism(s) of hepatotoxicity beyond competitive inhibition of BSEP are poorly understood. This study examined mechanisms of TKI-mediated hepatotoxicity associated with altered bile acid homeostasis. Dasatinib, pazopanib, and sorafenib showed bile acid-dependent toxicity at clinically relevant concentrations, based on the C-DILI assay using sandwich-cultured human hepatocytes (SCHH). Among several bile acid-relevant genes, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 7A1 mRNA was specifically upregulated by 6.2- to 7.8-fold (dasatinib) and 5.7- to 9.3-fold (pazopanib), compared with control, within 8 hours. This was consistent with increased total bile acid concentrations in culture medium up to 2.3-fold, and in SCHH up to 1.4-fold, compared with control, within 24 hours. Additionally, protein abundance of sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) was increased up to 2.0-fold by these three TKIs. The increase in NTCP protein abundance correlated with increased function; dasatinib and pazopanib increased hepatocyte uptake clearance (CLuptake) of taurocholic acid, a probe bile acid substrate, up to 1.4-fold. In conclusion, upregulation of CYP7A1 and NTCP in SCHH constitute novel mechanisms of TKI-associated hepatotoxicity. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Understanding the mechanisms of hepatotoxicity associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is fundamental to development of effective and safe intervention therapies for various cancers. Data generated in sandwich-cultured human hepatocytes, an in vitro model of drug-induced hepatotoxicity, revealed that TKIs upregulate bile acid synthesis and alter bile acid uptake and excretion. These findings provide novel insights into additional mechanisms of bile acid-mediated drug-induced liver injury, an adverse effect that limits the use and effectiveness of TKI treatment in some cancer patients.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are molecular-targeted anticancer drugs. Their benefits are limited by dermal toxicities, including hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR), which is commonly found in skin areas subjected to friction. The present study aimed to explain the incidence of HFSR in patients treated with TKIs by focusing on keratinocyte toxicity and inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), which plays an essential role in angiogenesis. Mice with gene knockout for the immunosuppressive cytokine interleukin-10 exhibited HFSR-like phenotypes, such as cytotoxicity in keratinocytes and increased number and size of blood vessels after repeated doses of regorafenib, sorafenib, and pazopanib, all of which cause high incidence of HFSR, in combination with tape-stripping mimicking skin damage at the friction site. Comprehensive examination of the direct cytotoxic effects of 21 TKIs on primary cultured human keratinocytes revealed that 18 of them reduced the cell viability dose-dependently. Importantly, the ratio of the trough concentration in patients (Ctrough) to the LC50 values of cell viability reduction was higher than unity for four HFSR-inducing TKIs, suggesting that these TKIs cause keratinocyte toxicity at clinically relevant concentrations. In addition, eight HFSR-inducing TKIs caused inhibition of VEGFR-2 kinase activity, which was validated by their ratios of Ctrough to the obtained IC50,VEGFR-2 of more than unity. All 12 TKIs with no reported incidence of HFSR exhibited less than unity values for both Ctrough/LC50,keratinocytes and Ctrough/IC50,VEGFR-2. These results suggested that a combination of keratinocyte toxicity and VEGFR-2 inhibition may explain the incidence of HFSR upon TKI usage in humans.

Abstract
Expansion of renal lymphatic networks, or lymphangiogenesis (LA), is well recognized during development and is now being implicated in kidney diseases. Although LA is associated with multiple pathological conditions, very little is known about its role in acute kidney injury. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of LA in a model of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. LA is predominately regulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C and VEGF-D, ligands that exert their function through their cognate receptor VEGF receptor 3 (VEGFR3). We demonstrated that use of MAZ51, a selective VEGFR3 inhibitor, caused significantly worse structural and functional kidney damage in cisplatin nephrotoxicity. Apoptotic cell death and inflammation were also increased in MAZ51-treated animals compared with vehicle-treated animals following cisplatin administration. Notably, MAZ51 caused significant upregulation of intrarenal phospho-NF-κB, phospho-JNK, and IL-6. Cisplatin nephrotoxicity is associated with vascular congestion due to endothelial dysfunction. Using three-dimensional tissue cytometry, a novel approach to explore lymphatics in the kidney, we detected significant vascular autofluorescence attributed to erythrocytes in cisplatin alone-treated animals. Interestingly, no such congestion was detected in MAZ51-treated animals. We found increased renal vascular damage in MAZ51-treated animals, whereby MAZ51 caused a modest decrease in the endothelial markers endomucin and von Willebrand factor, with a modest increase in VEGFR2. Our findings identify a protective role for de novo LA in cisplatin nephrotoxicity and provide a rationale for the development of therapeutic approaches targeting LA. Our study also suggests off-target effects of MAZ51 on the vasculature in the setting of cisplatin nephrotoxicity.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Little is known about injury-associated LA in the kidney and its role in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI). Observed exacerbation of cisplatin-induced AKI after LA inhibition was accompanied by increased medullary damage and cell death in the kidney. LA inhibition also upregulated compensatory expression of LA regulatory proteins, including JNK and NF-κB. These data support the premise that LA is induced during AKI and lymphatic expansion is a protective mechanism in cisplatin nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the second deadly cancer in the world. Trametes versicolor is a traditional Chinese medicinal mushroom with a long history of being used to regulate immunity and prevent cancer. Trametes versicolor mushroom extract demonstrates strongly cell growth inhibitory activity on human colorectal tumor cells. In this study, we characterized a novel 12-kDa protein that named musarin, which was purified from Trametes versicolor mushroom extract and showed significant growth inhibition on multiple human colorectal cancer cell lines in vitro. The protein sequence of musarin was determined through enzyme digestion and MS/MS analysis. Furthermore, Musarin, in particular, strongly inhibits aggressive human colorectal cancer stem cell-like CD24+CD44+ HT29 proliferation in vitro and in a NOD/SCID murine xenograft model. Through whole transcription profile and gene enrichment analysis of musarin-treated CSCs-like cells, major signaling pathways and network modulated by musarin have been enriched, including the bioprocess of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition, the EGFR-Ras signaling pathway and enzyme inhibitor activity. Musarin demonstrated tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity in vitro. Musarin strongly attenuated EGFR expression and down-regulated phosphorylation level, thereby slowing cancer cells proliferation. In addition, oral ingestion of musarin significantly inhibited CD24+CD44+ HT29 generated tumor development in SCID/NOD mice with less side effects in microgram doses. Targeting self-renewal aggressive stem-cell like cancer cell proliferation, with higher water solubility and lower cytotoxicity, musarin has shown strong potence to be developed as a promising novel therapeutic drug candidate against colorectal cancers, especially those that acquire chemo-resistance.

Abstract
Disparities between risk, treatment outcomes and survival rates in cancer patients across the world may be attributed to socioeconomic factors. In addition, the role of ancestry is frequently discussed. In preclinical studies, high-throughput drug screens in cancer cell lines have empowered the identification of clinically relevant molecular biomarkers of drug sensitivity; however, the genetic ancestry from tissue donors has been largely neglected in this setting. In order to address this, here, we show that the inferred ancestry of cancer cell lines is conserved and may impact drug response in patients as a predictive covariate in high-throughput drug screens. We found that there are differential drug responses between European and East Asian ancestries, especially when treated with PI3K/mTOR inhibitors. Our finding emphasizes a new angle in precision medicine, as cancer intervention strategies should consider the germline landscape, thereby reducing the failure rate of clinical trials.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying propofol-induced toxicity in developing neurons are still unclear. The aim of present study was to explore the role of Pink1 mediated mitochondria pathway in propofol-induced developmental neurotoxicity. The primary Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) were isolated from the hippocampus of E15.5 mice embryos and then treated with propofol. The effects of propofol on proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, mitochondria ultrastructure and MMP of NSCs were investigated. In addition, the abundance of Pink1 and a group of mitochondria related proteins in the cytoplasm and/or mitochondria were investigated, which mainly included CDK1, Drp1, Parkin1, DJ-1, Mfn1, Mfn2 and OPA1. Moreover, the relationship between Pink1 and these molecules was explored using gene silencing, or pretreatment with protein inhibitors. Finally, the NSCs were pretreated with mitochondrial specific antioxidant (MitoQ) or Drp1 inhibitor (Mdivi-1), and then the toxic effects of propofol on NSCs were investigated. Our results indicated that propofol treatment inhibited NSCs proliferation and division, and promoted NSCs apoptosis. Propofol induced significant NSCs mitochondria deformation, vacuolization and swelling, and decreased MMP. Additional studies showed that propofol affected a group of mitochondria related proteins via Pink1 inhibition, and CDK1, Drp1, Parkin1 and DJ-1 are the important downstream proteins of Pink1. Finally, the effects of propofol on proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, mitochondrial ultrastructure and MMP of NSCs were significantly attenuated by MitoQ or Mdivi-1 pretreatment. The present study demonstrated that propofol regulates the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of NSCs via Pink1mediated mitochondria pathway.

Abstract
Rash is one of the primary dose-limiting toxicities of Akt (protein kinase B) inhibitors in clinical trials. Here, we demonstrate the inhibition of Akt2 isozyme may be a driver for keratinocyte apoptosis, which promotes us to search for new selective Akt inhibitors with an improved cutaneous safety property. According to our previous research, compound 2 is selected for further optimization for overcoming the disadvantages of compound 1, including high Akt2 inhibition and high toxicity against HaCaT keratinocytes. The dihedral angle-based design and molecular dynamics simulation lead to the identification of Hu7691 (B5) that achieves a 24-fold selectivity between Akt1 and Akt2. Hu7691 exhibits low activity in inducing HaCaT apoptosis, promising kinase selectivity, and excellent anticancer cell proliferation potencies. Based on the superior results of safety property, pharmacokinetic profile, and in vivo efficacy, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approved the investigational new drug (IND) application of Hu7691.

Abstract
Using a novel physiologically relevant in vitro human whole blood neutrophil shape change assay, an aminopyrazine series of selective PI3Kγ inhibitors was identified and prioritized for further optimization. Severe solubility limitations associated with the series leading to low oral bioavailability and poor exposures, especially at higher doses, were overcome by moving to an aminopyridine core. Compound 33, with the optimal balance of on-target activity, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic parameters, progressed into in vivo studies and demonstrated good efficacy (10 mg/kg) in a rat model of airway inflammation. Sufficient exposures were achieved at high doses to support toxicological studies, where unexpected inflammatory cell infiltrates in cardiovascular tissue prevented further compound development.

Abstract
While gene expression profiling has traditionally been the method of choice for large-scale perturbational profiling studies, proteomics has emerged as an effective tool in this context for directly monitoring cellular responses to perturbations. We previously reported a pilot library containing 3400 profiles of multiple perturbations across diverse cellular backgrounds in the reduced-representation phosphoproteome (P100) and chromatin space (Global Chromatin Profiling, GCP). Here, we expand our original dataset to include profiles from a new set of cardiotoxic compounds and from astrocytes, an additional neural cell model, totaling 5300 proteomic signatures. We describe filtering criteria and quality control metrics used to assess and validate the technical quality and reproducibility of our data. To demonstrate the power of the library, we present two case studies where data is queried using the concept of "connectivity" to obtain biological insight. All data presented in this study have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium with identifiers PXD017458 (P100) and PXD017459 (GCP) and can be queried at https://clue.io/proteomics .

Abstract
EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are mainly used to treat non-small cell lung cancer; however, adverse effects such as severe diarrhea represent a major obstacle towards the continuation of EGFR-TKIs therapy. Chloride channels, which control the fluid flow in the intestinal lumen, are proposed as an important target to remediate EGFR-TKIs-induced diarrhea, but the mechanism remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify the mechanism underlying EGFR-TKIs-induced diarrhea with a particular focus on the role of intestinal chloride channels. Here, we show that osimertinib-treated rats exhibit diarrhea and an increase in fecal water content without showing any severe histopathological changes. This diarrhea was attenuated by intraperitoneal treatment with the calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) inhibitor CaCCinh-A01. These findings were confirmed in afatinib-treated rats with diarrhea. Moreover, treatment with the Japanese traditional herbal medicine, hangeshashinto (HST), decreased fecal water content and improved fecal appearance in rats treated with EGFR-TKIs. HST inhibited the ionomycin-induced CaCC activation in HEK293 cells in patch-clamp current experiments and its active ingredients were identified. In conclusion, secretory diarrhea induced by treatment with EGFR-TKIs might be partially mediated by the activation of CaCC. Therefore, blocking the CaCC could be a potential new treatment for EGFR-TKI-induced diarrhea.

Abstract
Aberrant activation of ERK signaling pathway usually leads to oncogenesis, and small molecular agents targeting this pathway are impeded by the emergence of drug resistance due to reactivation of ERK signaling. Compound DEL-22379 has been reported to inhibit ERK dimerization which was unaffected by drug-resistant mechanism reactivating the ERK signaling. Here, we discussed a structure-activity relationship study of DEL-22379. Forty-seven analogues were designed and synthesized. Each synthesized compound was biologically evaluated for their inhibitory rates on several tumor cell lines and compounds with high inhibitory rates were further evaluated for IC50 values. The structure-activity relationship of idolin-2-one scaffold and the impact of Z/E configuration on potency were discussed. Potential safety of two synthesized analogues was investigated and in silico docking study of five compounds was performed to understand the structural basis of ERK dimerization inhibition.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and its receptor VEGFR2 are the main targets of antiangiogenic therapies, and proteinuria is one of the common adverse events associated with the inhibition of the VEGFA/VEGFR2 pathway. The proteinuric kidney damage induced by VEGFR2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is characterized by podocyte foot process effacement. TKI therapy promotes the formation of abnormal endothelial‒podocyte crosstalk, which plays a key role in TKI-induced podocyte injury and proteinuric nephropathy. This review article summarizes the underlying mechanism by which the abnormal endothelial‒podocyte crosstalk mediates podocyte injury and discusses the possible molecules and signal pathways involved in abnormal endothelial‒podocyte crosstalk. What is more, we highlight the molecules involved in podocyte injury and determine the essential roles of Rac1 and Cdc42; this provides evidence for exploring the abnormal endothelial‒podocyte crosstalk in TKI-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the biomarker for lung cancer in which the protein has the most active mutated genes in lung cancer patients. Peptides have pharmacological potential as drugs because of their bioactivity and accessibility. The research objective was to obtain peptide compounds drug candidates with good interaction and pharmacological properties that can act as an inhibitor for EGFR for lung cancer treatment by using in silico method. MATERIALS AND METHODS EGFR protein structure was obtained from Protein Data Bank and the peptide compounds were retrieved from PubChem. Optimization and energy minimization process were done to prepare the peptides for the simulation. Protein-Ligand Interaction Fingerprint (PLIF) was used to determine the pharmacophore features in the EGFR binding site. Both proteins and ligands underwent a virtual screening through rigid and flexible molecular docking simulation and the best ligands were subjected to a computational ADME-Tox properties prediction. RESULTS After screening through molecular docking simulation, nine best compounds were identified to have a good interaction with EGFR protein according to its binding energy and RMSD value. The compounds were identified to form hydrogen bond interactions with the macromolecule. CONCLUSION Two peptide compounds (PubChem ID: 20832941 and 9805315) have been predicted as the best ligands with desired pharmacological properties for the inhibition of EGFR tyrosine kinase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emodin, a natural anthraquinone, has shown potential as an effective therapeutic agent in the treatment of many diseases including cancer. However, its clinical development is hindered by uncertainties surrounding its potential toxicity. The primary purpose of this study was to uncover any potential toxic properties of emodin in mice at doses that have been shown to have efficacy in our cancer studies. In addition, we sought to assess the time course of emodin clearance when administered both intraperitoneally (I.P.) and orally (P.O.) in order to begin to establish effective dosing intervals. METHODS We performed a subchronic (12 week) toxicity study using 3 different doses of emodin (~ 20 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg, and 80 mg/kg) infused into the AIN-76A diet of male and female C57BL/6 mice (n = 5/group/sex). Body weight and composition were assessed following the 12-week feeding regime. Tissues were harvested and assessed for gross pathological changes and blood was collected for a complete blood count and evaluation of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and creatinine. For the pharmacokinetic study, emodin was delivered intraperitoneally I.P. or P.O. at 20 mg/kg or 40 mg/kg doses to male and female mice (n = 4/group/sex/time-point) and circulating levels of emodin were determined at 1, 4 and 12 h following administration via liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. RESULTS We found that 12 weeks of low (20 mg/kg), medium (40 mg/kg), or high (80 mg/kg) emodin feeding did not cause pathophysiological perturbations in major organs. We also found that glucuronidated emodin peaks at 1 h for both I.P. and P.O. administered emodin and is eliminated by 12 h. Interestingly, female mice appear to metabolize emodin at a faster rate than male mice as evidenced by greater levels of glucuronidated emodin at the 1 h time-point (40 mg/kg for both I.P. and P.O. and 20 mg/kg I.P.) and the 4-h time-point (20 mg/kg I.P.). CONCLUSIONS In summary, our studies establish that 1) emodin is safe for use in both male and female mice when given at 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg doses for 12 weeks and 2) sex differences should be considered when establishing dosing intervals for emodin treatment.

Abstract
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation eventually develop resistance to EGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Treatment resistance remains the primary obstacle to the successful treatment of NSCLC. Although drug resistance mechanisms have been studied extensively in NSCLC, the regulation of these mechanisms has not been completely understood. Recently, increasing numbers of microRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in EGFR-TKI resistance, indicating that miRNAs may serve as novel targets and may hold promise as predictive biomarkers for anti-EGFR therapy. MicroRNA-506 (miR-506) has been identified as a tumor suppressor in many cancers, including lung cancer; however, the role of miR-506 in lung cancer chemoresistance has not yet been addressed. Here we report that miR-506-3p expression was markedly reduced in erlotinib-resistant (ER) cells. We identified Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) as a novel target of miR-506-3p, aberrantly activated in ER cells. The ectopic overexpression of miR-506-3p in ER cells downregulates SHH signaling, increases E-cadherin expression, and inhibits the expression of vimentin, thus counteracting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-mediated chemoresistance. Our results advanced our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying EGFR-TKI resistance and indicated that the miR-506/SHH axis might represent a novel therapeutic target for future EGFR mutated lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
Inhibition of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) has revolutionized the treatment landscape for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). By targeting this critical kinase in proximal B-cell receptor signaling, BTK inhibitors (BTKis) impair cell proliferation, migration, and activation of NF-κB. Clinically, because indefinite inhibition is a mainstay of therapy, there is an extended period of exposure in which adverse effects can develop. Given the impressive efficacy and activity of BTKis in the treatment of patients with CLL, appropriate management of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) is of paramount importance. Here we review the BTKi landscape and present the available toxicity and safety data for each agent. The long-term toxicity profile of ibrutinib, a first-in-class inhibitor, is well characterized and includes a clinically significant incidence of cardiac arrhythmias, bleeding, infection, diarrhea, arthralgias, and hypertension. Acalabrutinib, the initial second-generation BTKi to earn approval from the US Food and Drug Administration, demonstrates improved kinase selectivity for BTK, with commonly observed adverse reactions including infection, headache, and diarrhea. Mediated by both on-target inhibition of BTK and variable off-target inhibition of other kinases including interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase (ITK), tyrosine-protein kinase (TEC), and endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR), the toxicity profile of BTKis is closely linked to their pattern of kinase binding. Other emerging BTKis include second-generation agents with variable degrees of kinase selectivity and third-generation agents that exhibit reversible noncovalent binding to BTK. We also highlight critical considerations for the prevention and monitoring of AEs and offer practical management strategies for treatment-emergent toxicities.

Abstract
This study attempts to obtain and test the bioactivities of leaf extracts from a medicinal plant, Geranium wallichianum (GW), when conjugated with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs). The integrity of leaf extract-conjugated ZnONPs (GW-ZnONPs) was confirmed using various techniques, including Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, energy-dispersive spectra (EDS), scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The size of ZnONPs was approximately 18 nm, which was determined by TEM analysis. Additionally, the energy-dispersive spectra (EDS) revealed that NPs have zinc in its pure form. Bioactivities of GW-ZnONPs including antimicrobial potentials, cytotoxicity, antioxidative capacities, inhibition potentials against α-amylase, and protein kinases, as well as biocompatibility were intensively tested and confirmed. Altogether, the results revealed that GW-ZnONPs are non-toxic, biocompatible, and have considerable potential in biological applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous phase I trials testing immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI)-based combinations are currently being conducted to improve response rates observed with single agents. However, methodology varies across studies, especially regarding the use of dose escalation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature search was conducted in Pubmed and major oncology meetings libraries for phase I trials reported between 2011 and 2018, containing at least one CPI [CLTA-4 blocking antibody or a PD(L)1 blocking antibody] plus at least one second agent (e.g. tyrosine kinase inhibitor, chemotherapy). Dose escalation schemes, target doses and recommended phase II doses (RP2D) were captured in our database for each study. Combination RP2D (combo-RP2D) was compared with target dose. RESULTS We identified 113 different studies comprising a total of 120 individual cohorts. The backbone was an anti- cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) in 40 cohorts and an anti-PD(L)1 in 80 cohorts. Dose escalation was used for the CPI in 29 (24%) cohorts [11% for anti-PD(L)1 and 50% for anti-CTLA-4] and for the second agent in 55 cohorts (46%). For 31 s agents (26%), the combo-RP2D was significantly lower than the expected target dose. Failure to reach the target dose was explained by the type of second agent form (e.g. small molecules versus monoclonal antibodies) (P < 0.001) and the choice of trial design for the second agent by investigators. CONCLUSION Design of studies investigating new CPI-based combinations must consider the type of second agent. Dose escalation is required for combinations with small molecules but is unnecessary with vaccine/virus/dendritic therapies and monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract
We demonstrate that concurrent administration of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and WEE1 inhibitors is effective in inhibiting tumor growth but poorly tolerated. Concurrent treatment with PARP and WEE1 inhibitors induces replication stress, DNA damage, and abrogates the G2 DNA damage checkpoint in both normal and malignant cells. Following cessation of monotherapy with PARP or WEE1 inhibitors, effects of these inhibitors persist suggesting that sequential administration of PARP and WEE1 inhibitors could maintain efficacy while ameliorating toxicity. Strikingly, while sequential administration mirrored concurrent therapy in cancer cells that have high basal replication stress, low basal replication stress in normal cells protected them from DNA damage and toxicity, thus improving tolerability while preserving efficacy in ovarian cancer xenograft and patient-derived xenograft models.

Abstract
The third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) ponatinib has been associated with high rates of acute ischemic events. The pathophysiology responsible for these events is unknown. We hypothesized that ponatinib produces an endothelial angiopathy involving excessive endothelial-associated von Willebrand factor (VWF) and secondary platelet adhesion. In wild-type mice and ApoE-/- mice on a Western diet, ultrasound molecular imaging of the thoracic aorta for VWF A1-domain and glycoprotein-Ibα was performed to quantify endothelial-associated VWF and platelet adhesion. After treatment of wild-type mice for 7 days, aortic molecular signal for endothelial-associated VWF and platelet adhesion were five- to sixfold higher in ponatinib vs sham therapy (P < .001), whereas dasatinib had no effect. In ApoE-/- mice, aortic VWF and platelet signals were two- to fourfold higher for ponatinib-treated compared with sham-treated mice (P < .05) and were significantly higher than in treated wild-type mice (P < .05). Platelet and VWF signals in ponatinib-treated mice were significantly reduced by N-acetylcysteine and completely eliminated by recombinant ADAMTS13. Ponatinib produced segmental left ventricular wall motion abnormalities in 33% of wild-type and 45% of ApoE-/- mice and corresponding patchy perfusion defects, yet coronary arteries were normal on angiography. Instead, a global microvascular angiopathy was detected by immunohistochemistry and by intravital microscopy observation of platelet aggregates and nets associated with endothelial cells and leukocytes. Our findings reveal a new form of vascular toxicity for the TKI ponatinib that involves VWF-mediated platelet adhesion and a secondary microvascular angiopathy that produces ischemic wall motion abnormalities. These processes can be mitigated by interventions known to reduce VWF multimer size.

Abstract
The leishmaniases are diseases that affect millions of people across the world, in particular visceral leishmaniasis (VL) which is fatal unless treated. Current standard of care for VL suffers from multiple issues and there is a limited pipeline of new candidate drugs. As such, there is a clear unmet medical need to identify new treatments. This paper describes the optimization of a phenotypic hit against Leishmania donovani, the major causative organism of VL. The key challenges were to balance solubility and metabolic stability while maintaining potency. Herein, strategies to address these shortcomings and enhance efficacy are discussed, culminating in the discovery of preclinical development candidate GSK3186899/DDD853651 (1) for VL.

Abstract
Drug-induced cardiotoxicity is a potentially severe side effect that can adversely affect myocardial contractility through structural or electrophysiological changes in cardiomyocytes. Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are a promising human cardiac in vitro model system to assess both proarrhythmic and non-proarrhythmic cardiotoxicity of new drug candidates. The scalable differentiation of hiPSCs into cardiomyocytes provides a renewable cell source that overcomes species differences present in current animal models of drug toxicity testing. The Comprehensive in vitro Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) initiative represents a paradigm shift for proarrhythmic risk assessment, and hiPSC-CMs are an integral component of that paradigm. The recent advancements in hiPSC-CMs will not only impact safety decisions for possible drug-induced proarrhythmia, but should also facilitate risk assessment for non-proarrhythmic cardiotoxicity, where current non-clinical approaches are limited in detecting this risk before initiation of clinical trials. Importantly, emerging evidence strongly suggests that the use of hiPSC-CMs with cardiac physiological relevant measurements in vitro improves the detection of structural cardiotoxicity. Here we review high-throughput drug screening using the hiPSC-CM model as an experimentally feasible approach to assess potential contractile and structural cardiotoxicity in early phase drug development. We also suggest that the assessment of structural cardiotoxicity can be added to electrophysiological tests in the same platform to complement the Comprehensive in vitro Proarrhythmia Assay for regulatory use. Ideally, application of these novel tools in early drug development will allow for more reliable risk assessment and lead to more informed regulatory decisions in making safe and effective drugs available to the public.

Abstract
Fragaria × ananassa leaves extracts prepared in different solvents were subject for antioxidative, cytotoxicity, protein kinase inhibition and antibacterial activities. The extracts showed varying activities depending upon solvent used for extraction. Combined effect of methanol and ethyl acetate showed maximum antioxidant and reducing power potential (207.65±6μg AAE/mg and 88.58±20μg AAE/mg, respectively). Maximum DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity was calculated by when methanol: chloroform and acetate fractions were used (87.68% and 86.88% inhibition, respectively). Total phenolics varied from 186 to 1.91μg AAE/mg while total flavonoids also significantly varied among the extracts. The extracts also showed significant activities against brine shrimp larvae and bacterial strains tested. The study concludes that Fragaria × ananassa leaves can be a good source for isolation of active phytochemicals to be used in different industries.

Abstract
Vandetanib, a multi-kinase inhibitor used for the treatment of various cancers, has been reported to induce several adverse cardiac effects. However, the underlying mechanisms of vandetanib-induced cardiotoxicity are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of vandetanib-induced cardiotoxicity using intracellular electrophysiological recordings on human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), rabbit Purkinje fibers, and HEK293 cells transiently expressing human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG; the rapidly activating delayed rectifier K+ channel, IKr), KCNQ1/KCNE1 (the slowly activating delayed rectifier K+ current, IKs), KCNJ2 (the inwardly rectifying K+ current, IK1) or SCN5A (the inward Na+ current, INa). Purkinje fiber assays and ion channel studies showed that vandetanib at concentrations of 1 and 3 μM inhibited the hERG currents and prolonged the action potential duration. Alanine scanning and in silico hERG docking studies demonstrated that Y652 and F656 in the hERG S6 domain play critical roles in vandetanib binding. In hiPSC-CMs, vandetanib markedly reduced the maximum rate of depolarization during the AP upstroke. Ion channel studies revealed that hiPSC-CMs were more sensitive to inhibition of the INa by vandetanib than in a heterogeneously expressed HEK293 cell model, consistent with the changes in the AP parameters of hiPSC-CMs. The subclasses of Class I antiarrhythmic drugs inhibited INa currents in a dose-dependent manner in hiPSC-CMs and SCN5A-encoded HEK293 cells. The inhibitory potency of vandetanib for INa was much higher in hiPSC-CMs (IC50: 2.72 μM) than in HEK293 cells (IC50: 36.63 μM). These data suggest that AP and INa assays using hiPSC-CMs are useful electrophysiological models for prediction of drug-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Five clinically approved BCR-ABL1-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (bosutinib, dasatinib, imatinib, nilotinib, and ponatinib) used for treating chronic myelogenous leukemia have been studied in a neonatal rat myocyte model for their relative ability to induce myocyte damage. This was done in order to determine if kinase inhibitor-induced myocyte damage was a consequence of inhibiting ABL1 (on-target effects), or due to a lack of kinase selectivity (off-target effects) since previous studies have come up with conflicting conclusions about whether imatinib-induced cardiotoxicity results directly from inhibition of ABL1. The most specific and least potent inhibitors, imatinib and nilotinib, induced the least myocyte damage, while the least specific and most potent inhibitors, ponatinib and dasatinib, induced the most damage. Inhibitor-induced myocyte damage also correlated with clinically observed cardiovascular toxicity. Growth inhibition of the erythroleukemic K562 human cell line with a constitutively active BCR-ABL1 kinase was negatively correlated with inhibitor-induced myocyte damage, which suggests that inhibition of ABL1 causes myocyte damage. Myocyte damage was also negatively correlated with inhibitor dissociation binding constants and with inhibition of enzymatic ABL1 kinase activity. Myocyte damage was also positively correlated with two measures of inhibitor selectivity, which suggests that a lack of inhibitor selectivity is responsible for myocyte damage. In conclusion, myocyte damage, and thus the cardiovascular toxicity of the BCR-ABL1-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors, is due to direct inhibition of ABL1 and/or their lack of inhibitor selectivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) plays an important role in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) cell progression. CZ415 is a novel, highly-efficient and specific mTOR kinase inhibitor. The current study tested the potential anti-tumor activity of CZ415 in human PTC cells. METHODS The established (TPC-1 cell line) and primary human PTC cells were treated with CZ415. Cell survival and growth were tested by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and BrdU ELISA assay, respectively. Cell apoptosis was tested by caspase-3/-9 activity assay, Hoechst-33342 staining assay and single-stranded DNA ELISA assay. Cell cycle progression was tested by propidium iodide-FACS assay. The mTOR signaling was tested by Western blotting assay and co-immunoprecipitation assay. The mouse xenograft tumor model was applied to study the effect of CZ415 in vivo. RESULTS In cultured human PTC cells, treatment with CZ415 at nM concentrations significantly inhibited cell survival and growth. CZ415 induced apoptosis activation and cell cycle arrest in human PTC cells. CZ415 disrupted assembling of mTORC1 (mTOR-Raptor association) and mTORC2 (mTOR-Rictor-GβL association) in TPC-1 cells, which led to de-phosphorylation of the mTORC1 substrates (S6K1 and 4E-BP1) and the mTORC2 substrate AKT (Ser-473). Further studies show that the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) or Beclin-1 shRNA aggravated CZ415-induced cytotoxicity against PTC cells. In vivo, CZ415 oral administration inhibited TPC-1 xenograft tumor growth in mice. CONCLUSION Our results show that mTOR blockage by CZ415 inhibits PTC cell growth in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The design of optimal protocols plays an important role in cancer treatment. However, in clinical applications, the outcomes under the optimal protocols are sensitive to variations of parameter settings such as drug effects and the attributes of age, weight, and health conditions in human subjects. One approach to overcoming this challenge is to formulate the problem of finding an optimal treatment protocol as a robust optimization problem (ROP) that takes parameter uncertainty into account. In this chapter, we describe a method to model toxicity uncertainty. We then apply a mixed integer ROP to derive the optimal protocols that minimize the cumulative tumor size. While our method may be applied to other cancers, in this work we focus on the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). For simplicity, we focus on one particular mode of toxicity arising from TKI therapy, low blood cell counts, in particular low absolute neutrophil count (ANC). We develop optimization methods for locating optimal treatment protocols assuming that the rate of decrease of ANC varies within a given interval. We further investigated the relationship between parameter uncertainty and optimal protocols. Our results suggest that the dosing schedule can significantly reduce tumor size without recurrence in 360 weeks while insuring that toxicity constraints are satisfied for all realizations of uncertain parameters.

Abstract
Fatal events during treatment with ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ABL TKIs) have been reported, and there have been concerns of high mortality rate in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia receiving ABL TKIs. The predictive factors of patients treated with ABL TKIs who are at risk of potentially fatal toxicities remain unknown. Although this scenario appears discouraging, the risk of severe toxicity might be predicted by investigating the effect of genetic variation on the disposition of ABL TKIs. Global genomic surveys should be conducted to identify factors contributing to an increased risk of toxicity using multivariable analyses with particular reference to ABL TKIs pharmacokinetics and baseline clinical characteristics.

Abstract
3D biomaterial models have potential to explore the influence of the tumor microenvironment on aberrant signaling pathways and compensatory signals using patient-derived cells. Glioblastoma (GBM) tumors are highly heterogeneous, with both cell composition and extracellular matrix biophysical factors seen as key regulators of malignant phenotype and treatment outcomes. Amplification, overexpression, and mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase have been identified in 50% of GBM patients. Here, hyaluronic acid (HA) decorated methacrylamide-functionalized gelatin (GelMA) hydrogels are used to examine the synergies between microenvironmental factors and a model EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) using patient-derived xenograft cells. The in vitro behavior of 3 patient-derived xenografts that reflect a clinically relevant range of EGFR variants is characterized: GBM10 (EGFR, wild type), GBM12 (EGFR+), and GBM6 (EGFRvIII). GelMA hydrogels support xenograft culture; cells remain viable, active, respond to matrix-immobilized HA, and upregulate genes associated with matrix remodeling and tumor growth. Interestingly, matrix-immobilized HA alters the response of GBM cells to a model tyrosine kinase inhibitor, erlotinib. While constitutively activated EGFRvIII cells are sensitive to TKI in gelatin hydrogels, hyaluronic acid mediated adhesive signaling interacts with EGFRvIII signaling to increase cell metabolic activity, increase soluble hyaluronic acid synthesis, and modify response to erlotinib exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Buparlisib is an oral pan-class I phosphotidyinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor. The present phase I study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of buparlisib with capecitabine in patients with metastatic breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients received buparlisib once daily (range, 50 to 100 mg) for 3 weeks with capecitabine twice daily (range, 1000 to 1250 mg/m2) for 2 weeks with a 1-week break. Dose escalation used a traditional "3 + 3" design with standard definitions of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose. RESULTS Of the 25 patients enrolled, 23 were evaluable for DLT and 17 were evaluable for response. The maximum tolerated dose of the combination was buparlisib 100 mg daily and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 twice daily. DLTs included grade 3 hyperglycemia and grade 3 confusion. The most common grade 3 toxicities were diarrhea and elevation of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine transaminase. One patient exhibited a complete response to treatment and four had a confirmed partial response. In cohorts 3 and 4, in which the buparlisib dose remained constant but the capecitabine dose was increased, significant increases in the buparlisib plasma concentration were noted. CONCLUSION The combination of buparlisib with capecitabine in patients with metastatic breast cancer was generally well-tolerated, with several patients demonstrating prolonged responses. Unexpectedly low rates of PIK3CA mutations (3 of 17) were seen, and only 2 of 7 tumors with subtyping were luminal, making exploration of these putative predictive markers impossible. Further study of the combination is not unreasonable, with expanded pharmacokinetics and sequencing analysis to better elucidate potential drug-drug interactions and more accurate predictive biomarkers of response.

Abstract
Carbon black nanoparticles (CBNs) have been associated with the progression of atherosclerosis. CBNs normally enter the bloodstream and crosslink together to form agglomerates. However, most studies have used nano-sized CB particles to clarify the involvement of CBN exposure in CBN-induced endothelial dysfunction. Herein, we studied endothelial toxicity of CBN aggregates (CBA) to human EA.hy926 vascular cells. Cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase leakage, and oxidative stress were affected by the highest concentration of CBA. Moreover, transmission electron microscopic results showed that CBA entered cells through membrane enclosed vesicles. Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) is involved in regulating vascular diseases. Thus, we co-treated with the of ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 to study whether other adverse effects caused by CBA are related to activating ROCK. As expected, co-treatment with Y-27632 attenuated CBA-induced cytoskeletal damage, dysfunction of the endothelial barrier, and expression of inflammatory factors. Taken together, these results demonstrate that aggregated CBNs can cause endothelial dysfunction possibly by activating ROCK.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) results from occlusion or vasoconstriction of pulmonary vessels, leading to progressive right ventricular failure. Dasatinib, a BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia, has been associated with PAH. In contrast, the BCR-ABL1 TKI imatinib has demonstrated anti-vasoproliferative properties and has been investigated as a potential treatment for PAH. Here we describe studies evaluating the effects of dasatinib and imatinib on cardiovascular and pulmonary functions to understand the reported differential consequences of the two TKIs in a clinical setting. METHODS The direct effects of dasatinib and imatinib were explored in vivo to investigate possible mechanisms of dasatinib-induced PAH. In addition, effects of dasatinib and imatinib on PAH-related mediators were evaluated in vitro. RESULTS In rats, both TKIs increased plasma nitric oxide (NO), did not induce PAH-related structural or molecular changes in PA or lungs, and did not alter hemodynamic lung function compared with positive controls. Similarly, in the pulmonary artery endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells co-culture model, imatinib and dasatinib increased NO and decreased endothelin-1 protein and mRNA. CONCLUSIONS The results of these studies indicated that dasatinib did not induce physiological changes or molecular signatures consistent with PAH when compared to positive controls. Instead, dasatinib induced changes consistent with imatinib. Both dasatinib and imatinib induced biochemical and structural changes consistent with a protective effect for PAH. These data suggest that other factors of unclear etiology contributed to the development of PAH in patients treated with dasatinib.

Abstract
Mediator-associated kinases CDK8/19 are context-dependent drivers or suppressors of tumorigenesis. Their inhibition is predicted to have pleiotropic effects, but it is unclear whether this will impact on the clinical utility of CDK8/19 inhibitors. We discovered two series of potent chemical probes with high selectivity for CDK8/19. Despite pharmacodynamic evidence for robust on-target activity, the compounds exhibited modest, though significant, efficacy against human tumor lines and patient-derived xenografts. Altered gene expression was consistent with CDK8/19 inhibition, including profiles associated with super-enhancers, immune and inflammatory responses and stem cell function. In a mouse model expressing oncogenic beta-catenin, treatment shifted cells within hyperplastic intestinal crypts from a stem cell to a transit amplifying phenotype. In two species, neither probe was tolerated at therapeutically-relevant exposures. The complex nature of the toxicity observed with two structurally-differentiated chemical series is consistent with on-target effects posing significant challenges to the clinical development of CDK8/19 inhibitors.

Abstract
A series of 2,4 diamino-pyrimidines have been identified from an analysis of open access high throughput anti-malarial screening data reported by GlaxoSmithKline at the 3D7 and resistant Dd2 strains. SAR expansion has been performed using structural knowledge of the most plausible parasite target. Seventeen new analogs have been synthesized and tested against the resistant K1 strain of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf). The cytotoxicity of the compounds was assessed in Vero and A549 cells and their selectivity towards human kinases including JAK2 and EGFR were undertaken. We identified compound 5n and 5m as sub-micromolar inhibitors, with equivalent anti-malarial activity to Chloroquine (CQ). Compounds 5d and 5k, μM inhibitors of Pf, displayed improved cytotoxicity with weak inhibition of the human kinases.

Abstract
Nilotinib and imatinib are tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). In vitro, imatinib and nilotinib inhibit osteoclastogenesis, and in patients they reduce levels of bone resorption. One of the mechanisms that might underlie these effects is an increase in the production of osteoprotegerin (OPG). In the current work we report that platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRβ) signaling regulates OPG production in vitro. In addition, we have shown that TKIs have effects on RANKL signaling through inhibition of the PDGFRβ and other target receptors. These findings have implications for our understanding of the mechanisms by which TKIs affect osteoclastogenesis, and the role of PDGFRβ signaling in regulating osteoclastogenesis. Further studies are indicated to confirm the clinical effects of PDGFRβ-inhibitors and to elaborate the intracellular pathways that underpin these effects.

Abstract
Approximately 25-40% of patients with lung cancer show bone metastasis. Bone modifying agents reduce skeletal-related events (SREs), but they do not significantly improve overall survival. Therefore, novel therapeutic approaches are urgently required. In this study, we investigated the anti-tumor effect of TAS-115, a VEGFRs and HGF receptor (MET)-targeted kinase inhibitor, in a tumor-induced bone disease model. A549-Luc-BM1 cells, an osteo-tropic clone of luciferase-transfected A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549-Luc), produced aggressive bone destruction associated with tumor progression after intra-tibial (IT) implantation into mice. TAS-115 significantly reduced IT tumor growth and bone destruction. Histopathological analysis showed a decrease in tumor vessels after TAS-115 treatment, which might be mediated through VEGFRs inhibition. Furthermore, the number of osteoclasts surrounding the tumor was decreased after TAS-115 treatment. In vitro studies demonstrated that TAS-115 inhibited HGF-, VEGF-, and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF)-induced signaling pathways in osteoclasts. Moreover, TAS-115 inhibited Feline McDonough Sarcoma oncogene (FMS) kinase, as well as M-CSF and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation. Thus, VEGFRs/MET/FMS-triple inhibition in osteoclasts might contribute to the potent efficacy of TAS-115. The fact that concomitant dosing of sunitinib (VEGFRs/FMS inhibition) with crizotinib (MET inhibition) exerted comparable inhibitory efficacy for bone destruction to TAS-115 also supports this notion. In conclusion, TAS-115 inhibited tumor growth via VEGFR-kinase blockade, and also suppressed bone destruction possibly through VEGFRs/MET/FMS-kinase inhibition, which resulted in potent efficacy of TAS-115 in an A549-Luc-BM1 bone disease model. Thus, TAS-115 shows promise as a novel therapy for lung cancer patients with bone metastasis.

Abstract
Protein kinases regulate numerous cellular processes, including cell growth, metabolism, and cell death. Because the primary sequence and the three-dimensional structure of many kinases are highly similar, the development of selective inhibitors for only one kinase is challenging. Furthermore, many protein kinases are pleiotropic, mediating diverse and sometimes even opposing functions by phosphorylating multiple protein substrates. Here, we set out to develop an inhibitor of a selective protein kinase phosphorylation of only one of its substrates. Focusing on the pleiotropic delta protein kinase C (δPKC), we used a rational approach to identify a distal docking site on δPKC for its substrate, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK). We reasoned that an inhibitor of PDK's docking should selectively inhibit the phosphorylation of only PDK without affecting phosphorylation of the other δPKC substrates. Our approach identified a selective inhibitor of PDK docking to δPKC with an in vitro Kd of ∼50 nM and reducing cardiac injury IC50 of ∼5 nM. This inhibitor, which did not affect the phosphorylation of other δPKC substrates even at 1 μM, demonstrated that PDK phosphorylation alone is critical for δPKC-mediated injury by heart attack. The approach we describe is likely applicable for the identification of other substrate-specific kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Introduction Left ventricular dysfunction is a frequent and potentially severe side effect of many tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). The mode of toxicity is not identified, but may include impairment of mitochondrial or sarcomeric function, autophagy or angiogenesis, either as an on-target or off-target mechanism. Methods and Results We studied concentration-response curves and time courses for nine TKIs in three-dimensional, force generating engineered heart tissue (EHT) from neonatal rat heart cells. We detected a concentration- and time-dependent decline in contractile force for gefitinib, lapatinib, sunitinib, imatinib, sorafenib, vandetanib and lestaurtinib and no decline in contractile force for erlotinib and dasatinib after 96 hours of incubation. The decline in contractile force was associated with an impairment of autophagy (LC3 Western blot) and appearance of autophagolysosomes (transmission electron microscopy). Conclusion This study demonstrates the feasibility to study TKI-mediated force effects in EHTs and identifies an association between a decline in contractility and inhibition of autophagic flux.

Abstract
The use of multikinase inhibitors (MKI) in oncology, such as sorafenib, is associated with a cutaneous adverse event called hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR), in which sites of pressure or friction become inflamed and painful, thus significantly impacting quality of life. The pathogenesis of MKI-induced HFSR is unknown, and the only available treatment options involve dose reduction or discontinuation of therapy, which have negative effects on primary disease management. To investigate the underlying mechanisms by which sorafenib promotes keratinocyte cytotoxicity and subsequent HFSR induction, we performed a transporter-directed RNAi screen in human epidermal keratinocytes and identified SLC22A20 (OAT6) as an uptake carrier of sorafenib. Further investigations into the intracellular mechanism of sorafenib activity through in situ kinome profiling identified the mitogen-activated protein kinase MAP3K7 (TAK1) as a target of sorafenib that induces cell death. Finally, we demonstrate that sorafenib induced keratinocyte injury in vivo and that this effect could be reversed by cotreatment with the OAT6 inhibitor probenecid. Collectively, our findings reveal a novel pathway that regulates the entry of some MKIs into keratinocytes and explains the basis underlying sorafenib-induced skin toxicity, with important implications for the therapeutic management of HFSR.

Abstract
Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is frequently overexpressed in cancer, which correlates with poor prognosis. Therefore, we investigated PLK1 as therapeutic target using rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) as a model. Here, we identify a novel synthetic lethal interaction of PLK1 inhibitors and microtubule-destabilizing drugs in preclinical RMS models and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of this synergism. PLK1 inhibitors (i.e., BI 2536 and BI 6727) synergistically induce apoptosis together with microtubule-destabilizing drugs (i.e., vincristine (VCR), vinblastine (VBL) and vinorelbine (VNR)) in several RMS cell lines (combination index <0.9) including a patient-derived primary RMS culture. Importantly, PLK1 inhibitors and VCR cooperate to significantly suppress RMS growth in two in vivo models, including a mouse xenograft model, without causing additive toxicity. In addition, no toxicity was observed in non-malignant fibroblast or myoblast cultures. Mechanistically, BI 2536/VCR co-treatment triggers mitotic arrest, which initiates mitochondrial apoptosis by inactivation of antiapoptotic BCL-2 family proteins, followed by BAX/BAK activation, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activation of caspase-dependent or caspase-independent effector pathways. This conclusion is supported by data showing that BI 2536/VCR-induced apoptosis is significantly inhibited by preventing cells to enter mitosis, by overexpression of BCL-2 or a non-degradable MCL-1 mutant, by BAK knockdown, ROS scavengers, caspase inhibition or endonuclease G silencing. This identification of a novel synthetic lethality of PLK1 inhibitors and microtubule-destabilizing drugs has important implications for developing PLK1 inhibitor-based combination treatments.

Abstract
Background BCRP/ABCG2 emerged as an important multidrug resistance protein, because it confers resistance to several classes of cancer chemotherapeutic agents and to a number of novel molecularly-targeted therapeutics such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Gefitinib is an orally active, selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying activating EGFR mutations. Membrane transporters may affect the distribution and accumulation of gefitinib in tumour cells; in particular a reduced intracellular level of the drug may result from poor uptake, enhanced efflux or increased metabolism. Aim The present study, performed in a panel of NSCLC cell lines expressing different ABCG2 plasma membrane levels, was designed to investigate the effect of the efflux transporter ABCG2 on intracellular gefitinib accumulation, by dissecting the contribution of uptake and efflux processes. Methods and Results Our findings indicate that gefitinib, in lung cancer cells, inhibits ABCG2 activity, as previously reported. In addition, we suggest that ABCG2 silencing or overexpression affects intracellular gefitinib content by modulating the uptake rather than the efflux. Similarly, overexpression of ABCG2 affected the expression of a number of drug transporters, altering the functional activities of nutrient and drug transport systems, in particular inhibiting MPP, glucose and glutamine uptake. Conclusions Therefore, we conclude that gefitinib is an inhibitor but not a substrate for ABCG2 and that ABCG2 overexpression may modulate the expression and activity of other transporters involved in the uptake of different substrates into the cells.

Abstract
Cell cycle checkpoint intervention is an effective therapeutic strategy for cancer when applied to patients predisposed to respond and the treatment is well-tolerated. A critical cell cycle process that could be targeted is the mitotic checkpoint (spindle assembly checkpoint) which governs the metaphase-to-anaphase transition and insures proper chromosomal segregation. The mitotic checkpoint kinase Mps1 was selected to explore whether enhancement in genomic instability is a viable therapeutic strategy. The basal-a subset of triple-negative breast cancer was chosen as a model system because it has a higher incidence of chromosomal instability and Mps1 expression is up-regulated. Depletion of Mps1 reduces tumor cell viability relative to normal cells. Highly selective, extremely potent Mps1 kinase inhibitors were created to investigate the roles of Mps1 catalytic activity in tumor cells and normal physiology (PF-7006, PF-3837; Ki<0.5 nM; cellular IC50 2–6 nM). Treatment of tumor cells in vitro with PF-7006 modulates expected Mps1-dependent biology as demonstrated by molecular and phenotypic measures (reduced pHH3-Ser10 levels, shorter duration of mitosis, micro-nucleation, and apoptosis). Tumor-bearing mice treated with PF-7006 exhibit tumor growth inhibition concomitant with pharmacodynamic modulation of a downstream biomarker (pHH3-Ser10). Unfortunately, efficacy only occurs at drug exposures that cause dose-limiting body weight loss, gastrointestinal toxicities, and neutropenia. Mps1 inhibitor toxicities may be mitigated by inducing G1 cell cycle arrest in Rb1-competent cells with the cyclin-dependent kinase-4/6 inhibitor palbociclib. Using an isogenic cellular model system, PF-7006 is shown to be selectively cytotoxic to Rb1-deficient cells relative to Rb1-competent cells (also a measure of kinase selectivity). Human bone marrow cells pretreated with palbociclib have decreased PF-7006-dependent apoptosis relative to cells without palbociclib pretreatment. Collectively, this study raises a concern that single agent therapies inhibiting Mps1 will not be well-tolerated clinically but may be when combined with a selective CDK4/6 drug.
