Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) can improve the progression-free survival and quality of life of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients, but complete cures are rare and dose-limiting toxicity has been reported. PRRT induces DNA damage, with DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) being the most cytotoxic. DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) is involved in DSB repair and inhibiting it can potentially enhance PRRT efficacy without increasing the dosage.
Background: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) increases progression-free survival and quality of life of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients, however complete cures are rare and dose-limiting toxicity has been reported. PRRT induces DNA damage of which DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are the most cytotoxic. DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) is a key player in DSB repair and its inhibition therefore is a potential way to enhance PRRT efficacy without increasing the dosage. Methods: We analyzed effects of combining PRRT and DNA-PKcs inhibitor AZD7648 on viability, cell death and clonogenic survival on SSTR2-expressing cell lines BON1-SSTR2, GOT1 and NCI-H69. Therapy-induced DNA damage response was assessed by analyzing DSB foci levels and cell cycle distributions. In vivo efficacy was investigated in BON1-SSTR2 and NCI-H69 xenografted mice and hematologic and renal toxicity were monitored by blood counts, creatinine levels and analyzing renal morphology. Results: Combining PRRT and AZD7648 significantly decreased viability of BON1-SSTR2, GOT1 and NCI-H69 cells and induced cell death in GOT1 and BON1-SSTR2 cells. A strong effect of AZD7648 on PRRT-induced DSB repair was found. In GOT1 cells, this was accompanied by induction of cell cycle blocks. However, BON1-SSTR2 cells were unable to fully arrest their cell cycle and polyploid cells with high DNA damage levels were detected. In vivo, AZD7648 significantly sensitized BON1-SSTR2 and NCI-H69 xenograft models to PRRT. In addition, combination therapy did not induce significant changes in body weight, blood composition, plasma creatinine levels and renal morphology, indicating the absence Conclusion: These results highlight that the potentiation of the therapeutic effect of PRRT by DNA-PKcs inhibition is a highly effective and well-tolerated therapeutic strategy. Based on our findings, we recommend initiation of phase I/II studies in patients to find a safe and effective combination regimen.
