MEK inhibition is potentially valuable in targeting KRAS-mutant non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we analyzed whether concomitant LKB1 mutation alters
sensitivity to the MEK inhibitor selumetinib, and whether the metabolism drug
phenformin can enhance the therapeutic effect of selumetinib in isogenic cell
lines with different LKB1 status. Isogenic pairs of KRAS-mutant NSCLC cell lines
A549, H460 and H157, each with wild-type and null LKB1, as well as genetically
engineered mouse-derived cell lines 634 (kras(G12D/wt)/p53(-/-)/lkb1(wt/wt)) and
t2 (kras(G12D/wt)/p53(-/-)/lkb1(-/-)) were used in vitro to analyze the
activities of selumetinib, phenformin and their combination. Synergy was measured
and potential mechanisms investigated. The in vitro findings were then confirmed
in vivo using xenograft models. The re-expression of wild type LKB1 increased
phospho-ERK level, suggesting that restored dependency on MEK->ERK->MAPK
signaling might have contributed to the enhanced sensitivity to selumetinib. In
contrast, the loss of LKB1 sensitized cells to phenformin. At certain combination
ratios, phenformin and selumetinib showed synergistic activity regardless of LKB1
status. Their combination reduced phospho-ERK and S6 levels and induced potent
apoptosis, but was likely through different mechanisms in cells with different
LKB1 status. Finally, in xenograft models bearing isogenic A549 cells, we
confirmed that loss of LKB1 confers resistance to selumetinib, and phenformin
significantly enhances the therapeutic effect of selumetinib. Irrespective of
LKB1 status, phenformin may enhance the anti-tumor effect of selumetinib in
KRAS-mutant NSCLC. The dual targeting of MEK and cancer metabolism may provide a
useful strategy to treat this subset of lung cancer.
