| 520 | _ | _ | |a Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) frequently harbor alterations in the PI3K signalling axis and, particularly, in the PIK3CA gene. The promising rationale of using PI3K inhibitors for the treatment of HNSCC has, however, clashed with the spontaneous development of resistance over time.To identify valuable targets for overcoming acquired resistance to PI3Kα inhibitors in HNSCC, we performed microRNA profiling on a cohort of HNSCC PDXs that were treated with alpelisib, including both responsive and resistant tumors. Using CRISPR/Cas9, siRNA, and PTEN-/- isogenic and alpelisib-resistant cell models, we examined the role of PTEN in resistance acquisition. Phospho-proteomic analysis identified PTEN-dependent phosphorylation events, while PI3Kα inhibitor-resistant organoids were used to assess PLK1 inhibitor efficacy.We identified microRNAs altered in resistant PDXs, including members of the miR-17-92 cluster. Mechanistically, we observed that the hyperactive c-Myc was recruited to MIR17HG regulatory regions in alpelisib-resistant cells, sustaining miR-17-5p, miR-19b-3p, and miR-20a-5p expression, which downregulated PTEN. PTEN knockout or depletion conferred alpelisib resistance in HNSCC cells. We identified PTEN-dependent phosphorylation events, such as p-PLK1-T210, involved in resistance. Interestingly, pharmacological inhibition of PLK1 strongly reduced the viability of PI3Kα-resistant organoids derived from HNSCC PDXs and cell line models.Overall, this study unveils a novel, microRNA-driven, non-genetic mechanism contributing to acquired resistance to PI3Kα inhibitors in HNSCC. Indeed, linking hyperactive c-Myc to sustain miR-17-92 expression and consequent PTEN downregulation, we also propose that targeting PTEN-dependent downstream effectors, such as PLK1, may offer a powerful therapeutic strategy for resistant HNSCC. |
