linsitinib (ASP7487)

In addition, our results showed that pretreatment with linsitinib inhibited IGF-1-induced phosphorylation of IGF-1Rβ at Tyr1135, Akt at Ser473, and ERK in the OFs of patients with TAO. These results indicate that linsitinib inhibits IGF-1-induced cell proliferation and hyaluronic acid secretion in the OFs of TAO patients by suppressing the PI3K/Akt and ERK pathways, validating the use of linsitinib as a novel therapeutic agent for TAO.

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women. Statistical analyses were performed using ordinary one-way or two-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's or Šídák's multiple comparison tests. While linsitinib shows promise as a therapeutic option for OC, further research is needed to identify agents that could synergize with it to enhance its therapeutic efficacy, like the combination with standard chemotherapy in OC (carboplatin and paclitaxel).

Furthermore, genetic ablation of IGF2 or targeted inhibition of the IGF2/IGF1R axis with the inhibitor linsitinib markedly boosted the response to immune checkpoint blockade. Clinically, elevated levels of IGF2 in tumors or plasma correlated with an adverse prognosis and reduced efficacy of anti-programmed death 1 treatment. Together, these results highlight the pivotal role of IGF2 in promoting CAF-mediated immunoevasion, indicating its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target in immunotherapy.

Combining the pIGF1R/pINSR inhibitor linsitinib with the proteasome inhibitor (PI) bortezomib seemed promising in a clinical trial, but IGF1R expression was not associated with therapy response. Linsitinib and carfilzomib showed enhanced anti-myeloma activity in six out of seven HMCL irrespective of the IGF1R mutation status. In conclusion, IGF1R mutations can impact IGF1R activation and/or downstream signaling, and a combination of linsitinib with carfilzomib might be a suitable therapeutic approach for MM patients potentially responsive to IGF1R blockade.

We demonstrated effectiveness and reliability of this pipeline through validation of the established finding that the first-in-class BET and CBP/p300 dual inhibitor EP-31670 is an effective compound in reducing ADPC and CRPC cell growth. In addition, we found that insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) inhibitor linsitinib is a potential pharmacological agent against highly lethal and drug-resistant NEPC NCI-H660 cells. This protocol can be employed across other cancer types and represents an adaptable strategy to optimize assay-specific cell growth conditions and simultaneously assess drug efficacy across multiple cell lines.

According to this model, targeted treatments such as axitinib, gefitinib, linsitinib, pazopanib, and sorafenib may be more appropriate for low-risk patients. Six CR profiles (AL360270.1, AL138778.1, CDKN2A-DT, AP003778.1, LINC02718, and AC034102.8) with predictive values may be used to evaluate the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma undergoing therapy.

Moreover, we demonstrated an inverse correlation between GPD1L expression and therapeutic response for three therapeutic agents (PF-562271, Linsitinib, and BMS-754807), highlighting its potential as a predictive biomarker for HCC treatment outcomes. These data provide insights into the prognostic significance, molecular characteristics, and predictive potential of GPD1L in HCC.

We show here that ALK signaling led to activation of the RAS-MAPK pathway by preferentially phosphorylating the adaptor proteins GAB1, GAB2, and FRS2, while IGF1R signaling preferentially phosphorylated IRS2, promoting activation of the PI3K-AKT pathway. Together, these findings reveal a potentially important role of the IGF1R RTK in ALK-mutated NB and that co-targeting of ALK and IGF1R may be advantageous in clinical treatment of ALK-mutated NB patients.

We found that GC cell lines exhibit differential responses to the specific IGF1R inhibitor OSI906...Clinically, NEDD4 is expressed higher in IGF1-high GC tissues compared with IGF1-low GC tissues and normal tissues, and the co-high expression of NEDD4 and IGF1 predicts a worse prognosis in GC patients. Taken together, our study demonstrated that NEDD4 specifically promotes proliferation of GC cells dependent on IGF1/IGF1R signaling by antagonizing the protein phosphatase activity of PTEN to IRS1, and targeting NEDD4 may be a promising therapeutic strategy for IGF1 signal pathway-driven gastric cancer.

Enhanced expression of ASS1 and PYCR1 via IGF1R pathways rewired arginine and proline metabolism, promoting DDP resistance in OSCC under hypoxia. Linsitinib targeting IGF1R signaling may lead to promising combination therapy options for OSCC patients with DDP resistance.

Linsitinib, a small molecule inhibitor of both IGF1R and IR, did not block tumour formation and had no effect on tumour growth in vivo...A potential reason for the limited anti-cancer impact when IR/IGF1R was targeted may be because multiple signalling pathways are altered in TNBC. Therefore, targeting individual signalling pathways may not be sufficient to inhibit cancer growth.

The PI3K pathway mutation status could be considered as a potential biomarker to predict better immunotherapeutic efficacy and clinical outcomes after immunotherapy in HNSC patients.

The combination of sorafenib and niclosamide, but not linsitinib, effectively suppressed the IGF-1R/OCT4 expressions, yielded a synergistic combination index (CI), and attenuated stemness-related properties such as secondary tumor sphere formation and cell migration in sorafenib-resistant HCC cells. Our results suggest that niclosamide can enhance sorafenib sensitivity in sorafenib-resistant HCC cells through IGF-1R/stemness regulation and metabolic changes. Our findings highlight a practical clinical strategy for enhancing sorafenib sensitivity in HCC.

We successfully established and verified a novel circadian clock-related gene signature, which could stratify patients with different risk and be reflective of the therapeutic effect of molecular targeted therapy. Our findings could incorporate the pharmacological modulation of circadian clock into future therapeutic strategies.

Finally, according to the expression of DDX58 indicated potential sensitive drugs such as Cediranib, VE-821, Itraconazole, JNJ-42756493, IWR-1, and Linsitinib. In conclusion, we had gained new insights into how DDX58 might contribute to tumor development, and DDX58 could be used as an immune-related biomarker and as a potential immunotherapeutic target for COVID-19 infected cancer patients.

Finally, we suggested KGs-guided five repurposable drug molecules (Linsitinib, CX5461, Irinotecan, Timosaponin AIII, and Olaparib) and a new molecule (NVP-BHG712) against PC by molecular docking. The cross-validation and some literature reviews also supported our findings. Therefore, the finding of this study might be useful resources to the researchers and medical doctors for diagnosis, prognosis and therapies of PC by the wet-lab validation.

Upregulated IGF1R expression in one resistant derivative was associated with sensitivity to linsitinib and a profile with upregulation of a YAP/TAZ signature to sensitivity to the YAP inhibitor CA3 in another...Overall, the heterogeneity in resistance mechanisms and commonality of the persister state present a considerable challenge for personalised therapy. Nevertheless, the reversibility of resistance may indicate a benefit from treatment interruptions or re-treatment following disease relapse in some patients.

We further demonstrate that a 2-week combination treatment of 0.3-0.4 mg/kg of YM-254890 administered by intraperitoneal injection and 25-40 mg/kg linsitinib administered by oral gavage effectively inhibits the growth of metastatic UM tumors in immunodeficient NOD scid gamma (NSG) mice and identify the IGF1 pathway as a potential resistance mechanism in response to Galphaq/11 inhibition in UM. These data suggest that the combination of Galphaq/11 and IGF1R inhibition provides a promising therapeutic strategy to treating metastatic UM.

However, two MTAs, eribulin (Eri) and vinorelbine, have shown limited clinical efficacy. In a xenograft model using the Eri-resistant SW480 cell line, the combination of Eri and the IGF-1R inhibitor linsitinib suppressed tumor growth more efficiently than either single agent. Thus, our results indicated that combination dosing with Eri and an IGF-1R inhibitor may overcome Eri resistance and offer a therapeutic opportunity in CRC.

In particular, divergent responses for BAY-293 combinations between pancreatic and NSCLC cell lines were observed for linsitinib, superior inhibitory effects of trametinib and PD98059 in NSCLC, and lack of activity with doxorubicin in case of the pancreatic cell lines. Phosphoproteome analysis revealed inhibition of distinct signaling pathways by BAY-293 for MIA PaCa-2 on the one hand and for Aspc1 and BH1362 on the other hand. In conclusion, BAY-293 exhibits synergy with drugs in dependence of the tumor type and specific KRAS mutation.

Notably, FOXA1 expression in A549 cells reduced the efficacy of the anti-angiogenic drug nintedanib to inhibit xenograft tumor growth, whereas a combination of nintedanib with IGF1R inhibitor linsitinib or mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin enhanced tumor control. Clinically, high expression level of FOXA1 protein was associated with unfavorable prognosis in LUAD patients of advanced stage who received bevacizumab treatment. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized role of FOXA1 in mediating loss of imprinting of IGF2, which confer LUAD cells enhanced survival ability against nutrients deprivation through suppressing autophagic cell death.

Significantly lower IC50 values were found in triple-negative (TN) than in non-TN cell lines (atorvastatin, p < 0.01; simvastatin p < 0.05) indicating greater sensitivity...Finally, we found synergistic growth inhibition between simvastatin and the IGF-1R inhibitor, OSI-906 as well as between simvastatin and doxorubicin or docetaxel. Our work suggests repurposing of statins for clinical trials in patients with TNBC. Based on our findings, we suggest that these trials investigate statins in combination with either doxorubicin or docetaxel and include p53 mutational status as a potential predictive biomarker.

Besides, high-risk KIRC patients might benefit from ABT888, AZD6244, AZD7762, Bosutinib, Camptothecin, CI1040, JNK inhibitor VIII, KU55933, Lenalidomide, Nilotinib, PLX4720, RO3306, Vinblastine, and ZM.447439; however, low-risk populations might benefit from Bicalutamide, FH535, and OSI906. Finally, calibration curves were used to validate the nomogram with a satisfactory predictive survival probability. In conclusion, this research provides useful insight that can aid and guide clinical practice and scientific research.

Moreover, combining IGF1R inhibitor linsitinib with PTK2 inhibitor defactinib prominently suppressed BACH1-mediated HCC growth and metastasis. These results demonstrated the tumorigenic and pro-metastatic role of BACH1 in HCC, which could be a promising biomarker for predicting poor prognosis and selecting patients who could benefit from combination therapy of IGF1R-targeted and PTK2-directed.

As expected, OSI-906 increased the effect of cisplatin in attenuating the growth of OCCC in vivo. Therefore, we conclude that using OSI-906 may be an effective method to restore the sensitivity of OCCC to cisplatin by targeting the IGF1R/AKT pathway.

In the canceroous mice, linsitinib, aspirin and regorafenib treatment enhanced Body weight and survival, and also decreased fecal blood, number of tumors in colon and Inflammatory cytokines levels in serum and colon tissues. In this study, we obtained the best in-vitro and in-vivo result of colon cancer treatment when combinitation therapy Linsitinib, Aspirin, and Regorafenib was used, and could prevent tumor resistance, stem cell producing, pathological interaction and disease activity index.

Silencing C-erbB-2 expression may inhibit EC cell proliferation, promote cell apoptosis and block cell cycle progression by inhibiting IGF-1 pathway activation. The beneficial effect of silencing C-erbB-2 expression can be reversed by promoting the activation of IGF-1 pathway. Findings in our study may provide potential reference for understanding the molecular mechanism of EC and supply possible axis for preventing the development of EC from the perspective of molecular biology.

In addition, the combined treatment of ACLY inhibitor ETC-1002 and IGF1R inhibitor Linsitinib dramatically suppressed HOXA13-mediated CRC metastasis. In conclusion, HOXA13 is a prognostic biomarker in CRC patients. Targeting the IGF1-HOXA13-IGF1R positive feedback loop may provide a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of HOXA13-driven CRC metastasis.

Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of AKT phosphorylation, using MK2206, inhibited the SOX2-mediated spheroid formation of bladder cancer cells...Lastly, pharmacological inhibition of IGF1R, using linsitinib, also inhibited the SOX2-mediated spheroid formation of bladder cancer cells under low-serum stress. Our findings indicate the SOX2-IGF2 signaling affects the aggressiveness of bladder cancer cell growth. This signaling could be a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for bladder cancer intervention.

Taken together, our results are indicative that BMS mainly acts through off-target effects exerted on other protein kinases. Given that BMS exhibits a potent antiproliferative effect, we believe that this compound could be useful for the treatment of different types of tumors independently of their IGF-1R activation status.

In addition, FLNA knockdown potentiated antiproliferative effects of IGF1R/IR inhibitor Linsitinib and IGF1R inhibitor NVP-ADW742 in H295R. Finally, Western blot showed lower FLNA expression in ACCs (n = 10) than in ACAs (n = 10) and an inverse correlation of FLNA/IGF1R ratio with ERK phosphorylation in ACCs only. In conclusion, we demonstrated that low FLNA levels enhance both IGF2 proliferative effects and IGF1R/IR inhibitors efficacy in ACC cells, suggesting FLNA as a new factor influencing tumor clinical behavior and the response to the therapy with IGF1R/IR-targeted drugs.

Pharmacological inhibition of glycolysis and insulin growth factor (IGF) signaling reduce proliferation and tumorigenesis preferentially in KMT2D-deficient cells. We conclude that KMT2D loss promotes tumorigenesis by facilitating an increased use of the glycolysis pathway for enhanced biomass needs via enhancer reprogramming, thus presenting an opportunity for therapeutic intervention through glycolysis or IGF pathway inhibitors.

The IGF1/IGF1R inhibitor, linsitinib, preferentially targeted YTHDF2-expressing cells, inhibiting GSC viability without affecting NSCs and impairing in vivo glioblastoma growth. Thus, YTHDF2 links RNA epitranscriptomic modifications and GSC growth, laying the foundation for the YTHDF2-MYC-IGFBP3 axis as a specific and novel therapeutic target in glioblastoma.
