RET inhibition overcomes resistance to combined CDK4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy in ER+ breast cancer by Charlotte K. Kindt, Sidse Ehmsen, Sidse Ehmsen, Sidse Ehmsen, Sofie Traynor, Benedetta Policastro, Nikoline Nissen, Mie K. Jakobsen, Monique F. Hundebøl, Lene E. Johansen, Martin Bak, Elsa Arbajian, Johan Staaf, Henrik J. Ditzel, Henrik J. Ditzel, Henrik J. Ditzel, Carla L. Alves

“…High expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase REarranged during Transfection (RET) has been associated with resistance to endocrine therapy in breast cancer, but the role of RET in CDK4/6i treatment response/resistance remains unexplored.MethodsTo identify gene expression alterations associated with resistance to combined endocrine therapy and CDK4/6i, we performed RNA sequencing of two ER+ breast cancer cell models resistant to this combined therapy. The functional role of RET was assessed by siRNA-mediated RET silencing and targeted inhibition with the FDA/EMA-approved RET-selective inhibitor selpercatinib in resistant breast cancer cells and patient-derived organoids (PDOs). …”
