Background
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a multi-functional cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, plays a critical role in cancer migration, proliferation and metastasis via regulating multiple signaling pathways. SY-707 is an ALK/FAK/IGF1R multi-kinase inhibitor and now evaluated in Phase II clinical trial for ALK positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods
HTRF (Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence) assay was used to analyze kinase enzyme activity to determine inhibitory activities of SY-707 on other kinases. ATP content, PE-Annexin V and would healing assays were used to examine cell proliferation, cell cycle and migration when cells were treated with SY707. Then, SD rat and beagle dog models were used to evaluate the pharmacokinetics profile, and mouse xenograft model was used to evaluate the in vivo anti-cancer activities of SY707.
Results
In this study, we assessed preclinical anti-growth and anti-metastasis potency of SY-707 in breast cancer cells. SY-707 was able to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cell lines and induced cell apoptosis by suppressing the FAK signaling pathways. Moreover, SY-707 exerted inhibition on cell migration and adhesion in a dose-dependent manner. In T47D xenograft mice, SY-707 had significant anti-tumor activities lonely or synergistically with Paclitaxel. Meanwhile, SY-707 also displayed significant suppression on spontaneous metastasis of tumor to the lung in 4T1 murine breast cancer xenograft model.
Conclusions
SY-707 illustrated potent anti-proliferation and anti-migration potential in breast cancer in vitro and in vivo, implying its therapeutic application for the treatment of breast cancer in future clinical trials.
