23 CMET Prognostic in Esophageal Adeno Tuynman et al BJC 98: 1102; 2008  145 consecutive patients undergoing surgery  CMET high (54%)by IHC had poorer OS, DSS  Higher rates of local and metastatic recurrence  Higher CMET in higher T stage, N+, poorly differentiated tumors  Independent Prognostic Factor, RR 2.3

24 CMET Gene amplification is relatively rare (5%) – Rarer are activating TKI and other mutations Over expression at the protein level is more common (IHC) – Overcrowding of the cell surface with receptors engenders independence of ligand: constitutive activation CMET activation: cell survival, proliferation, angiogenesis, and invasion and metastasis – Protease activation and increase cell motility – CMET and HGF signaling in vascular endothelium promote angiogenesis – Hypoxia promotes HGF production and upregulates CMET expression

25 CMET CMET amplified or over expressing tumors appear more aggressive with worse prognosis but appear more sensitive to CMET targeted agents Paracrine, autocrine activation: Ligand Hepatocyte Growth Factor  Receptor dimerization  Activation of receptor associated tyrosine kinase Downstream: PIK3CA Kinase, RAS, STAT, RAC

26 CMET Receptor Cross Talk Interaction with CMET with other receptors and intra cellular Tyrosine Kinases Surface Integrin proteins – MET down regulates surface e-Cadherin (tumor suppressor) which increases TCF/Beta catenin nuclear signaling, increases proliferation HER1 (EGFR): activates CMET by generation of reactive oxygen species HER2: Trastuzumab may upregulate CMET, interacts with HER3 RON: shares homology with MET, and the ligand Macrophage Stimulating protein shares homology with HGF

27 How can we inhibit MET? Targeting HGF ligand, preventing receptor binding Blockade of ligand binding to the CMET receptor Inhibition of C-MET receptor trans phosphoyrlation and activation Inhibition of activated kinase activity and phosphorylation of the signal transducer docking site Interference with the docking site and signal transducers

35 MET TKI’s Type I: drug targets the ATP binding site  receptor in the active confirmation – After tyrosyl residues in the activation loop have been phosphorylated – Majority of agents Type II: target a binding site immediately adjacent to the region occupied by ATP  characteristic of inactive kinase Foretinib, Tivantinib (neither Type I or II), Cabozantinib, Crizotinib AMG 337: a selective inhibitor which inhibits multiple mechanisms of MET activation – Single Agent Phase II – Phase II + FOLFOX (ECOG)

39 Resistance to MET Activation Mutation of the CMET Tyrosine Kinase Activation of the EGFr pathway – Bypasses CMET by similar downstream signaling via PIK3CA Kinase and RAS KRAS amplification – Constitutive downstream pathway activation Therapeutic strategies to overcome resistance to CMET inhibitors – Target ligand, receptor, and TK – Target downstream pathways – Target rescue pathways (EGFr, HER2)
