Interfering with Resistance to Smoothened Antagonists by Inhibition of the PI3K Pathway in Medulloblastoma
Silvia Buonamici,Juliet Williams,Michael Morrissey,Anlai Wang,Ribo Guo,Anthony Vattay,Kathy Hsiao,Jing Yuan,John Green,Beatriz Ospina,Qunyan Yu,Lance Ostrom,Paul Fordjour,Dustin L. Anderson,John Monahan,Joseph Kelleher,Stefan Peukert,Shifeng Pan,Xu Wu,Sauveur Michel Maira,Carlos Garcia-Echeverria,Kimberly J. Briggs,D. Neil Watkins,Yung Mae Yao,Christoph Lengauer,Markus Warmuth,William R. Sellers,Marion Dorsch +27 more
TL;DR: By identifying a drug combination that delays or even combats development of resistance when used as a first-line treatment in clinical trials, these results could ultimately improve the lives of patients with medulloblastoma or other cancers that depend on Smo for their survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of tumorigenesis driven by different Wnt proteins requires blockade of distinct ligand-binding regions by LRP6 antibodies
Seth Ettenberg,Olga Charlat,Michael P. Daley,Shanming Liu,Karen Vincent,Darrin Stuart,Alwin Schuller,Jing Yuan,Beatriz Ospina,J. E. F. Green,Qunyan Yu,Renee Walsh,Sharon Li,Rita Schmitz,Holger Heine,Sanela Bilic,Lance Ostrom,Rebecca A. Mosher,K. Felix Hartlepp,Zhenping Zhu,Stephen E. Fawell,Yung-mae Yao,David Raymond Stover,Peter Finan,Jeffery A. Porter,William R. Sellers,Ingo Klagge,Feng Cong +27 more
TL;DR: These studies provide insights into Wnt-induced LRP5/6 activation and show the potential utility of LRP6 antibodies in WNT-driven cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multivalent nanobodies targeting death receptor 5 elicit superior tumor cell killing through efficient caspase induction
Heather Huet,Joseph D. Growney,Jennifer Johnson,Jing Li,Sanela Bilic,Lance Ostrom,Mohammad Zafari,Colleen Kowal,Guizhi Yang,Axelle Royo,Michael Rugaard Jensen,Bruno Dombrecht,Kris Meerschaert,Joost A Kolkman,Karen Cromie,Rebecca Mosher,Hui Gao,Alwin Schuller,Randi Isaacs,William R. Sellers,Seth Ettenberg +20 more
TL;DR: In vivo, multivalent Nanobody molecules elicited superior anti-tumor activity compared to a conventional DR5 agonist antibody, including the ability to induce tumor regression in an insensitive patient-derived primary pancreatic tumor model, suggesting that multivalent DR5 Nanobodies may represent a significant new therapeutic modality for targeting death receptor signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery and Optimization of HKT288, a Cadherin-6–Targeting ADC for the Treatment of Ovarian and Renal Cancers

TL;DR: This study provides mechanistic evidence supporting the importance of linker choice for optimal antitumor activity and highlights CDH6 as an antigen for biotherapeutic development and demonstrates how an integrated pharmacology strategy that incorporates mechanistic pharmacodynamics and toxicology studies provides a rich dataset for optimizing the therapeutic format.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Abstract 4290: The smoothened antagonist NVP-LDE225 targets stroma and cancer stem cells in primary human pancreatic tumor xenografts
Silvia Buonamici,Beatriz Ospina,Julia Xing Zhu,Jing Yuan,Kathy Hsiao,Anthony Vattay,Fang Li,James Deeds,Lance Ostrom,John Monahan,Juliet Williams,Joseph Kelleher,Stefan Peukert,Shifeng Pan,Xu Wu,Markus Warmuth,Rebecca Mosher,Yung-mae Yao,William R. Sellers,Marion Dorsch +19 more
TL;DR: A selective Smo antagonist is developed, NVP-LDE225, which is orally bioavailable and potently inhibits Hh signaling in vitro and in vivo and suggests that Smo inhibitors can have a high impact on the treatment of this very aggressive cancer.
