| description |
Neratinib was developed as an irreversible catalytic inhibitor of ERBB2, which also acts to inhibit ERBB1 and ERBB4. Neratinib is U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved as a neo-adjuvant therapy for use in HER2+ breast cancer. More recently, chemical biology analyses and the authors’ own bench work have demonstrated that neratinib has additional targets, which open up the possibility of using the drug in cell types that either lack ERBB receptor family expression or who rely on survival signalling downstream of growth factor receptors. Neratinib rapidly disrupted mutant RAS nanoclustering, which was followed by mutant rat sarcoma virus proteins translocating via LC3-associated phagocytosis into the cytosol where they were degraded by macroautophagy. Neratinib catalytically inhibited the MAP4K mammalian STE20-like protein kinase 4 and also caused its degradation via macroautophagy. This resulted in ezrin dephosphorylation and the plasma membrane becoming flaccid. Neratinib disrupted the nanoclustering of RAC1, which was associated with dephosphorylation of PAK1 and Merlin, and with increased phosphorylation of the Merlin binding partners large tumour suppressor kinase 1/2, YAP, and TAZ. YAP and TAZ exited the nucleus. Neratinib retained its anti-tumour efficacy against NSCLC cells made resistant to either afatinib or to osimertinib. Collectively, these findings argue that the possibilities for the further development of neratinib as cancer therapeutic in malignancies that do not express or over-express members of the ERBB receptor family are potentially wide-ranging. |
