Candidate biomarkers for the PD 0332991-bortezomib therapy? Differential regulated genes • Glucose homeostasis • Redox homeostasis • Cell migration Chiron, Di Liberto, Mason, Martin, et al, unpublished Targeting CDK4 in combination with bortezomib in MCL • At the optimal PD 0332991 concentration and reduced bortzomib 1 CR, 1 PR, 2 near PR (43% reduction), 1 SD, 1 PD. • Inhibition of CDK4 induces early G1 arrest that controls cell cycle gene expression in all MCL patients initially. • MCL cells express CDK4 but not CDK6, cyclin D1 but not D2 or D3 • CDK4 is a stable target- no mutation in CDK4 detected • A small number of genes are oppositely regulated in pG1 (day 8 vs day 0) in responders vs non-responders – candidate biomarkers for targeting CDK4 in combination with bortezomib. Glucose homeostasis Redox homeostasis Cell migration pG1 reprogramming MCL cells for ibrutinib inhibition of Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) Ibrutinib is effective in MCL.
