Abstract Text

Most anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) are highly responsive to treatment with ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, patients with these cancers invariably relapse, typically within 1 year, because of the development of drug resistance. Herein, we report findings from a series of lung cancer patients (n = 18) with acquired resistance to the ALK TKI crizotinib. In about one-fourth of patients, we identified a diverse array of secondary mutations distributed throughout the ALK TK domain, including new resistance mutations located in the solvent-exposed region of the adenosine triphosphate-binding pocket, as well as amplification of the ALK fusion gene. Next-generation ALK inhibitors, developed to overcome crizotinib resistance, had differing potencies against specific resistance mutations. In addition to secondary ALK mutations and ALK gene amplification, we also identified aberrant activation of other kinases including marked amplification of KIT and increased autophosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor in drug-resistant tumors from patients. In a subset of patients, we found evidence of multiple resistance mechanisms developing simultaneously. These results highlight the unique features of TKI resistance in ALK-positive NSCLCs and provide the rationale for pursuing combinatorial therapeutics that are tailored to the precise resistance mechanisms identified in patients who relapse on crizotinib treatment.

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Gene	Variant	Impact	Protein Effect	Variant Description	Associated with drug Resistance
ALK	G1202R	missense	unknown	ALK G1202R lies within the protein kinase domain of the Alk protein (UniProt.org). G1202R demonstrates increased colony formation, decreased Cdh1 expression, increased migration and invasion, increased expression of metastatic factors Cdh2, Vim, Mmp2, Mmp9, and Slug in cell culture in the context of EML4-ALK (PMID: 35085771), and drug resistance in the context of ALK fusions (PMID: 22277784, PMID: 24736079, PMID: 35085771), but has not been individually characterized and therefore, its effect on Alk protein function is unknown.	Y
ALK	S1206Y	missense	unknown	ALK S1206Y lies within the protein kinase domain of the Alk protein (UniProt.org). S1206Y has been demonstrated to occur as a secondary drug resistance mutation in the context of ALK rearrangements (PMID: 22277784, PMID: 24675041, PMID: 25727400), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Alk protein function is unknown (PubMed, Dec 2023).	Y
ALK	T1151dup	duplication	unknown	ALK T1151dup indicates the insertion of the duplicate amino acid, threonine (T)-1151, in the protein kinase domain of the Alk protein (UniProt.org). T1151dup has been demonstrated to occur as a secondary drug resistance mutation in the context of EML4-ALK (PMID: 22277784, PMID: 20695522), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Alk protein function is unknown (PubMed, Dec 2023).
