요약Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is among the ten most common cancers worldwide and has poor prognosis. Conventional therapies have limitations in improving survival, preventing recurrence and metastasis, and enhancing quality of life. Previous studies demonstrated that precision medicine-based therapies, such as targeted therapies and immunotherapies, exhibit clinical benefits in treating HNSCC, whereas resistance to these treatments when used as monotherapies limits their clinical application. There is an urgent need to understand and overcome resistance to these monotherapies. In this dissertation, I focused on determining the mechanisms of resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition, immune checkpoint inhibition, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibition, and on identifying combinatory strategies to overcome resistance to these monotherapies. I also investigated molecular mechanisms underlying the effective combinations we proposed.The overexpression of EGFR is a known driver of HNSCC. Although EGFR-targeting drug cetuximab showed HNSCC inhibition in combination with conventional therapies, there is resistance to it and other EGFR inhibitors when used as monotherapies. Our laboratory's previous CRISPR screens identified PIK3C2A as a novel mediator of EGFR inhibition resistance in HNSCC. I validated that PIK3C2A knockdown sensitizes EGFR inhibitor-resistant HNSCC cells to the EGFR inhibitor gefitinib. Our findings support dual-inhibition of EGFR and PI3K-C2α as an effective strategy for overcoming resistance to EGFR monotherapies in HNSCC.Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are FDA approved therapies for the treatment of R/M HNSCC. The limited overall response rate to ICIs indicates that there is resistance to these therapies. Previous studies revealed that an unfavorable tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), which has low proportions of infiltrated lymphocytes, can mediate resistance to ICIs. Our results showed that the combination of the pan-Class I PI3K inhibitor pictilisib and an anti-PD-L1 antibody exhibits enhance oral tumor suppression in a mouse model with a PIK3CA-H1047R mutation. Our immunofluorescent imaging and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis further suggested that pan-Class I PI3K inhibition remodels the oral TIME into a more favorable state, thereby enhancing sensitivity to PD-L1 inhibition. These findings suggest that dual-therapies of pan-Class I PI3K inhibitors and ICIs hold promise for the treatment of R/M HNSCC.The PI3K signaling pathway is the most frequently altered oncogenic pathway in HNSCC. Previous studies show that compensatory pathway mediated resistance to PI3K inhibitor monotherapies limits the efficacy of these inhibitors. Our laboratory's previous work identified a synergistic dual-therapy, pictilisib in combination with brigatinib, that overcomes resistance to PI3K inhibition. However, the detailed mechanism underlying this synergistic combination remains unclear. We first confirmed the synergistic effect of this combination in a xenograft mouse model bearing PIK3CA-H1047R mutant HNSCC tumors. Our findings further demonstrated that this combination downregulates cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), thereby inhibiting the transcription of genes regulating the cell cycle. We further showed that this combination synergistically enhances DNA damage signals. RNA sequencing and proteomics analyses identified Aurora kinase A (AURKA) as a novel mediator of PI3K inhibition resistance.Collectively, these findings advanced our understanding of resistance mechanisms for various treatments in HNSCC. Overall, the work from my dissertation supports precision medicine-based combinatory strategies as more effective therapies for the treatment of HNSCC.
