The D816V mutation of c-kit has been detected in patients with mastocytosis. This mutation leads to constitutive tyrosine kinase activation of Kit. Because stem cell factor (SCF), the ligand for Kit (CD117+), is a chemoattractant for CD117+ cells and one feature of mastocytosis is an abnormal collection of mast cells in tissues derived from CD34+CD117+ mast cell precursors, the hypothesis was considered that the D816V mutation would enhance chemotaxis of these precursor cells. Constructs encoding wild-type Kit or Kit bearing the D816V mutation were transfected into Jurkat cells, labeled with Calcein-am, and migration to SCF assessed in the presence or absence of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Chemotaxis to SCF was enhanced in D816V transfectants compared to wild-type Kit transfectants (P < .002). Migration of both transfectants was inhibited by tyrosine kinase inhibitors, although D816V transfectants were more sensitive. Chemotaxis was next performed on CD34+CD117+ circulating mast cell precursors obtained from patients with mastocytosis. Analysis of prechemotaxis and migrated cells showed that whereas less than 10% in the prechemotaxis sample had the D816V mutation, 40% to 80% of migrated cells had this mutation. These results demonstrate that the D816V Kit mutation enhances chemotaxis of CD117+ cells, offering one explanation for increased mast cells observed in tissues of patients with mastocytosis.

Feline mammary carcinoma (FMC) is a common neoplasia in cat, being HER2-positive the most prevalent subtype. In woman’s breast cancer, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKi) are used as a therapeutic option, by blocking the phosphorylation of the HER2 tyrosine kinase domain. Moreover, clinical trials demonstrated that TKi produce synergistic antiproliferative effects in combination with mTOR inhibitors, overcoming resistance to therapy. Thus, to uncover new chemotherapeutic strategies for cats, the antiproliferative effects of two TKi (lapatinib and neratinib), and their combination with a mTOR inhibitor (rapamycin), were evaluated in FMC cell lines (CAT-M, FMCp and FMCm) and compared with a human breast cancer cell line (SkBR-3). Results revealed that both TKi induced antiproliferative effects in all feline cell lines, by blocking the phosphorylation of EGFR members and its downstream effectors. Furthermore, combined treatments with rapamycin presented synergetic antiproliferative effects. Additionally, the DNA sequence of the her2 TK domain (exons 18 to 20) was determined in 40 FMC tissue samples, and despite several mutations were found none of them were described as inducing resistance to therapy. Altogether, our results demonstrated that TKi and combined protocols may be useful in the treatment of cats with mammary carcinomas, and that TKi-resistant FMC are rare.

Abstract In a majority of all patients with systemic mastocytosis (SM) including aggressive SM and mast cell leukemia (MCL), neoplastic cells display the D816V-mutated variant of KIT. The respective oncoprotein, KIT-D816V, exhibits constitutive tyrosine kinase (TK) activity and has been implicated in malignant cell growth. Therefore, several attempts have been made to identify KIT-D816V-targeting drugs. We found that the TK-inhibitor dasatinib (BMS-354825) inhibits TK activity of wild type (wt) KIT and KIT-D816V in Ba/F3 cells with doxycycline-inducible KIT-expression. In addition, dasatinib was found to inhibit KIT D816V-induced cluster formation and viability in Ba/F3 cells as well as growth of HMC-1.1 cells (KIT-D816V-negative) and HMC-1.2 cells (KIT-D816V-positive). The effects of dasatinib on growth of HMC-1 cells were dose-dependent, with 100–1,000-fold higher IC50-values in cells harbouring KIT-D816V compared to cells lacking KIT-D816V. Furthermore, dasatinib was found to inhibit the growth of primary neoplastic mast cells in SM in all patients examined. The inhibitory effects of dasatinib in HMC-1 cells were found to be associated with apoptosis and a decrease in expression of CD2 and CD63 as determined by flow cytometry. In addition, dasatinib was found to cooperate with the tyrosine kinase inhibitors PKC412 (midostaurin), AMN107 (nilotinib), and STI571 (imatinib), as well as with 2CdA (cladribine) in producing growth-inhibition in neoplastic mast cells. In HMC-1.1 cells, all drug-interactions applied were found to be synergistic. By contrast, in HMC-1.2 cells, only the combinations “dasatinib+PKC412” and “dasatinib+2CdA” were found to produce synergistic effects. These drug-combinations may thus represent an interesting pharmacologic approach for the treatment of patients with aggressive systemic mastocytosis or mast cell leukemia.
