Molecular characterization of adult non-glioblastoma central nervous system (CNS) tumors to identify potential targettable alterations (AIOM 2024)
4 pts received TT at recurrence, within clinical trials: one with grade 3 meningioma and ALK rearrangement treated with alectinib, one with PTCH1 mutant medulloblastoma treated with vismodegib, and two with high TMB treated with nivolumab/ipilumumab. The incidence of targettable molecular alterations in adult CNS tumor patients was lower than in GBM. Nevertheless, in a few selected cases TT have the potential to increase treatment options at recurrence and improve outcomes.

Computer-Aided Identification and Design of Ligands for Multi-Targeting Inhibition of a Molecular Acute Myeloid Leukemia Network. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Overall, by integrating network and structural pharmacology with molecular modeling, we determined two complementary strategies with the potential to annihilate the AML network, one in the form of repurposable drug combinations and the other as a de novo synthesized triple-targeting agent. These target-drug interactions could be prioritized for preclinical and clinical testing toward precision medicine for AML.

Inherited Basaloid Neoplasms Associated With SUFU Pathogenic Variants. (PubMed, JAMA Dermatol)
Awareness of the clinicopathologic spectrum of SUFU-associated basaloid neoplasms is important for dermatologists and dermatopathologists because many (although not all) of these lesions are indolent and do not require aggressive surgical treatment. Importantly, because SUFU lies downstream of the protein smoothened, vismodegib and other smoothened inhibitors are unlikely to be effective therapies in this subset of patients.

Images in Immunotherapy and Precision Oncology: Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, J Immunother Precis Oncol)
However, targeted therapies such as sonidegib and vismodegib - sonic hedgehog pathway inhibitors - have emerged that have been approved for treating BCC, as have anti-PD1 immunotherapies, such as cemiplimab, with their success likely based on the high tumor mutational burden seen in some of these tumors. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors also serve a role in treating this condition as well. Molecular studies on metastatic/advanced BCC and other rare malignancies may inform treatment therapeutic decisions.

Surgical Debulking Modifies Notch Signaling and May Improve Vismodegib Effectiveness for Locally Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, JID Innov)
Patients 1, 3, and 4 displayed a clinical response to debulking followed by vismodegib, whereas patient 2 was lost to follow-up after debulking. These findings suggest that surgical manipulation of LaBCCs is correlated with molecular alterations in signaling pathways associated with cellular reprogramming.

Bioactive nanocomposite hydrogel enhances postoperative immunotherapy and bone reconstruction for osteosarcoma treatment. (PubMed, Biomaterials)
Here, we developed a nanocomposite hydrogel for the sustained co-delivery of bioactive magnesium ions, anti-PD-L1 antibody (αPD-L1), and hedgehog pathway antagonist vismodegib, to eradicate residual tumor cells while promoting bone regeneration post-surgery...After 21 days, the expression levels of ALP, COL1, RUNX2, and BGLAP in the Vis-αPD-L1-Gel group were approximately 4.1, 5.1, 5.5, and 3.4 times higher than those of the control, respectively. We believe that this hydrogel-based combination therapy offers a potentially valuable strategy for treating osteosarcoma and addressing the tumor-related complex bone diseases.

Hedgehog Pathway and Programmed Cell Death Protein-1 Inhibitors for Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, Case Rep Dermatol)
Here we report in detail the management of three complex advanced BCC (aBCC) after treatment failure with vismodegib...However, despite the high tumor mutational burden of aBCCs, immunotherapy does not always lead to a long response. Rechallenge or combining treatment of hedgehog inhibitors and PD-1 inhibitors by parallel or alternating cycles may be a strategy to lengthen the treatment response.

SHH induces macrophage oxidative phosphorylation and efferocytosis to promote scar formation. (PubMed, Cell Commun Signal)
Notably, targeting SHH signaling with vismodegib exhibited promising potential in mitigating scar formation by reversing the effects of enhanced OXPHOS and M2 polarization in macrophages. In conclusion, this study underscores the critical roles of macrophage metabolism, particularly OXPHOS, efferocytosis and SHH signaling in cutaneous scar formation. Understanding these mechanisms provides new avenues for potential interventions and scar prevention strategies.

Structural basis for the bi-specificity of USP25 and USP28 inhibitors. (PubMed, EMBO Rep)
To obtain insights into their mode of inhibition, we structurally and functionally characterized USP28 in the presence of the three different inhibitors AZ1, Vismodegib and FT206...Furthermore, a key glutamate residue at position 366/373 in USP28/USP25 plays a central structural role for pocket stability and thereby for inhibition and activity. Obstructing the inhibitor-binding pocket by mutation of this glutamate may provide a tool to accelerate future drug development efforts for selective inhibitors of either USP28 or USP25 targeting distinct binding pockets.

Alopecia due to chemotherapeutics, hedgehog inhibitors, targeted antibody therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors : Pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnostics and prophylaxis (PubMed, Dermatologie (Heidelb))
Chemotherapy-induced hair loss (CIA) occurs in up to 65% of cases. Anagen effluvium is observed as early as 1-3 weeks after the start of treatment and is reversible in most cases. Alopecia associated with inhibitors of the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway (HHIA) such as vismodegib or sonidegib are observed in up to 60% of cases. They are characterized by telogen effluvium. BRAF or immune checkpoint inhibitors lead significantly less frequently to alopecia (BRAFA, CPIA). According to taxane-based chemotherapy protocols, scalp cooling can help to prevent higher-grade CIA. If CIA or other forms of alopecia are expected, early contact with self-help organizations and early prescriptions for wigs should be offered.

A sterol analog inhibits hedgehog pathway by blocking cholesterylation of smoothened. (PubMed, Cell Chem Biol)
Q29 exhibits an additive inhibitory effect on medulloblastoma with vismodegib, a clinically used SMO-7TM inhibitor for treating basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Importantly, Q29 overcomes resistance caused by SMO mutants against SMO-7TM inhibitors and inhibits the activity of SMO oncogenic variants. Our work demonstrates that the SMO-CRD inhibitor can be a new way to treat Hh pathway-driven cancers.

Plasma ctDNA Monitoring of a PTCH1-Mutant Metastatic Adult Medulloblastoma Showing a Durable Benefit With Vismodegib. (PubMed, Oncologist)
Several small studies demonstrate objective but short-lived responses to SMO inhibitors such as vismodegib or sonidegib. We present the case of a 26-year-old patient with a recurrent MB, in which next-generation sequencing (FoundationOne CDx) revealed a mutation in PTCH1, allowing the patient to be treated with vismodegib in second line, resulting in a durable benefit lasting for 1 year. Using an in-house digital PCR probe, the PTCH1 mutation could be tracked in ctDNA during treatment with first-line chemotherapy and while on treatment with vismodegib, demonstrating a precise correlation with the radiological and clinical behavior of the disease.

Signaling Pathways and Therapeutic Strategies in Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cells)
The discovery of mutations in the Hh signaling pathway has paved the way for the development of Hh pathway inhibiting agents, such as vismodegib and sonidegib, which have represented a breakthrough in the aBCC management. However, the use of these agents is limited by the frequent occurrence of adverse events or the development of drug resistance. In this review, we thoroughly describe the current knowledge regarding the available options for the pharmacological management of aBCCs and provide a forward-looking update on novel therapeutic strategies that could enrich the therapeutic armamentarium of BCC in the near future.

Turning enemy into ally: hijack brain tumor cells to break down the blood-tumor barrier (SNO 2023)
Using a genetically engineered mouse model of SHH MB, we show that tumor-specific knockout of volume-regulated ion channel, Lrrc8a, significantly increases BTB permeability and enhances the therapeutic response of MB-bearing mice to vismodegib, an FDA-approved antagonist of the SHH pathway...Furthermore, tumor-specific LRRC8A knockdown enhances BTB permeability in a xenograft human Group 3 MB model. Collectively, our findings establish Lrrc8a/LRRC8A as a therapeutic target to increase the therapy response of MB and provide evidence that inducing EndMT could be a strategy for enhancing BTB permeability to treat brain cancer.

Increasing Ciliary ARL13B Expression Drives Active and Inhibitor-Resistant Smoothened and GLI into Glioma Primary Cilia. (PubMed, Cells)
ARL13B-driven increases in ciliary SMO and GLI2 are resistant to SMO inhibitors, GDC-0449, and cyclopamine. Collectively, our data suggest that factors increasing ARL13B expression in glioma cells may promote both changes in ciliary membrane characteristics and IFT proteins, leading to the accumulation of drug-resistant SMO and GLI. The downstream targets and consequences of these ciliary changes require further investigation.
