PURPOSE: AKT plays a pivotal role in the signal transduction of cancer cells.
MK2206, an AKT inhibitor, has been shown to be an effective anti-cancer drug to a
variety of cancer cell lines. However, some cancer cells acquire resistance to
MK2206 and new strategies to suppress these cell lines remain to be developed.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Acquired MK-2206-resistant neuroblastoma (NB) cell sublines
were induced by stepwise escalation of MK-2206 exposure (4-12 weeks). MTT assay
was used to validate cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was performed for cell
cycle analysis. Western blot assay was used for cell signaling study. RESULTS:
MK2206 (5-10 µmol) significantly suppressed cell growth of MK2206 non-resistant
NB cells (LAN-1, KP-N-SIFA, NB-19 and SK-N-DZ), but is less efficient in
inhibiting that of resistant sublines, even after 2-week MK2206-free incubation.
MK2206 acted in mTOR-S6K dependent and independent methods. MK-2206 resistant
sublines (LAN-1-MK, KP-N-SIFA-MK, and SK-N-DZ-MK) showed lower IC50 of GSK2334470
(PDK1 inhibitor). The cell growth of all sublines was prohibited by AZD8805 (mTOR
inhibitor), with IC50 of AZD8805 3-10 times lower than MK2206 non-resistant
cells. The signaling profiles of these resistant sublines were characterized by
elevated PDK1-mTOR-S6K activity, accompanying by low phosphorylation of AKT
compared with non-resistant counterparts. GSK2334470 and AZD8055 effectively
inhibited phosphorylation of PDK1 and mTOR, respectively, and induced higher
G0-G1 ratio in LAN-1-MK than that in LAN-1 as well. PDK1 and mTOR inhibitors
effected on phosphorylation of GSK3? in some of resistant sublines. CONCLUSION:
NB cells can acquire MK2206 resistance after exposure for 4-12 weeks. Resistant
cells feature reliance on PDK1-mTOR-S6K pathway and are more sensitive to PDK1
and mTOR inhibitors than the non-resistant counterparts. Thus, suppression of
PDK1-mTOR-S6K signaling pathway is an effective way to overcome the MK2206
resistance, and this may be a promising strategy for targeted therapy.
