2 2  2014 Genentech USA, Inc. MBoC Program Common genetic and molecular alterations in lung cancer Point mutation Single base pair mutation in the EGFR gene Chromosome 7 Evasion of immune destruction Translocations in chromosome 2p Amplification of EGFR Signaling pathway alterations A point mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene (L858R) can result in abnormal kinase activation of the EGFR protein 1 Translocations within chromosome 2p result in the fusion of echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4) to anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK); this mutation has potent oncogenic activity in lung cancer 2 Amplification of a region on chromosome 7—which encodes the EGFR gene—can result in overexpression of this gene 3 Mutation, amplification, deletion, methylation, or post-translational modification along the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway can dysregulate cell growth and proliferation 4 Interaction between pathways, such as cross-talk through numerous points of convergence between the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and RAS/RAF/MEK signaling cascades, enable cell growth, division, survival, and the development of therapeutic resistance in lung cancer 4 By the time tumors are detected in the clinic, tumor cells have already evolved mechanisms of dysregulating the immune response and escaping destruction 5 References: 1.Yatabe Y, Mitsudomi T.

ProliferationSurvival MEK Raf Sos Grb2 Shc RAS PI3K MAPK AKT ↓ Apoptosis Inversion The ALK gene is located on chromosome 2 and codes a transmembrane receptor TK in the insulin receptor superfamily Expression of native ALK in adult human tissues seems to be restricted to the small intestine, testes, and nervous system, and some evidence suggests it plays a role in neurological development Under normal conditions, activation of ALK occurs via ligand-induced dimerization, which leads to autophosphorylation Activation of downstream signaling pathways—including Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)—leads to cell proliferation and differentiation When fused with EML4, it can lead to constitutive activation, even without the presence of ligands Reference: Camidge DR, Doebele RC.

Members of the HER family are established therapeutic targets Additional therapeutic strategies are being developed that target HER family receptors and intracellular signaling proteins Small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that prevent signal transduction via the TK domain of the receptor are one mechanism for targeting receptors Other small-molecule inhibitors target intracellular signaling intermediates Reference: Rowinsky EK.
