"Therapeutic Targeting of Glioblastoma" is a new pan-Canadian research team of the Terry Fox Research Institute and the Canadian Stem Cell Network funded to discover efficacious therapeutics for GBM. We use our collection of over 100 primary brain tumor-initiating lines (BTICs) that are subjected to drug screening by over 1500 compounds. Multiple compounds that exhibit nanomolar cytotoxicity towards all of the BTIC lines are prioritized based upon their potency, novelty for GBM, BBB penetration and clinical status. These drugs are currently undergoing efficacy testing in an orthotopic xenograft model as single agents and in combination with TMZ. We also use phosphoproteomics as a complementary strategy to better understand BTIC signaling, identify novel targets and mechanisms of drug resistance. Phosphotyrosine characterization of 14 BTIC lines revealed heterogeneous activation of multiple RTKs in different BTIC lines, whereas non-receptor kinases were found equally phosphorylated in all BTIC lines. Moreover, we have performed phosphoproteomic analysis of 3 matching BTIC lines, tumors and xenograft samples to identify shared phospho-targets. Our results demonstrated that EGFR is the only RTK in common in matched line-tumor-xenograft samples. Other RTKs such as PDGFRA and EPH receptors, were only activated in BTIC lines, suggesting that targeting these proteins may have limited efficacy. In contrast to RTKs, multiple nonreceptor kinases were activated in matched line-tumor-xenograft samples. To validate the biological relevance of the identified shared targets, we are currently using siRNA knockdown of selected candidate proteins to assess the effect on cell viability, migration and invasion in vitro and eventually in vivo. In conclusion, we anticipate that our combined drug screening and phosphoproteomics approach will generate promising clinical candidates as well as shed light on GBM biology.
