Description

METHOD
The present invention relates to detection of mutations in the kinase domain of c- Src in a tumour sample from a patient.
Protein kinases are crucial components of the signal transduction pathways that are central to cellular and biological functions. Inappropriate or uncontrolled activation, arising from over expression or mutation of many kinases has been shown to result in uncontrolled cell growth. pp60t tyrosine kinase (otherwise known as c-Src) is a non- receptor protein tyrosine kinase and was first identified as the cellular form 0f60VSrC tyrosine kinase (otherwise known as v-Src), the transforming gene product of the avian tumour virus Rous sarcoma virus. c- Src is a multifunctional protein involved in the regulation of a variety of processes, including proliferation, differentiation, survival, motility and angiogenesis.
The differential response of patients to chemotherapy treatments indicates that there is a need to find methods of predicting which treatment regimes best suit a particular patient. In addition, there is a need to identify methods that can predict a patients' response to a drug based on the results of a test for such factors that indicates whether the patient is likely to respond to treatment or to be resistant to treatment.
An increasing body of evidence suggests that patients' responses to numerous drugs may be related to a patients' genetic, genomic, proteomic and/or biochemical profile and that determination of the genetic factors that influence, for example, response to a particular drug could be used to provide a patient with a personalised treatment regime.
Such personalised treatment regimes offer the potential to maximise therapeutic benefit to the patient, whilst minimising, for example side effects that may be associated with alternative and less effective treatment regimes.
Studies have sought to identify mutations in c-Src which may influence response to a drug, however reports of mutations in c-Src in human tumours are extremely rare and when overexpressed in normal cells c-Src is non- or weakly oncogenic. The first reported activating c-Src mutation was a C-terminally truncated c-Src arising from a C-' T transition mutation at codon 531 which was detected in small subsets of colon and endometrial cancers (Irby, 1999). However, other studies have failed to detect such mutations in ovarian carcinomas, endometrial stromal sarcoma, rectal or colon cancer * *** S * * III * * . ** * S S S I I I * S IS * S S I S I S * . . S I S S 555 *** . S patients indicating that the codon 531 mutation is a very rare cause of c-Src activation in colorectal cancer (Nilbert, 2000; Laghi, 2001; Sugimura, 2000; Wang, 2000). Given the paucity of examples of mutational activation in human cancers, the involvement of c- Src in the etiology and progression of human cancers has been doubted for many years (Ischzawar, 2004, Tian, 2001).
The present invention is based on the discovery of mutations in the kinase domain of c-Src in tumour samples from patients; no such mutations were known beforehand.
In one aspect, the invention provides a method which comprises determining the presence of a mutation in the kinase domain of c-Src in a tumour sample from a patient wherein the mutation differs at one nucleic acid base position from SEQ ID NO: I and/or at one amino acid residue position from SEQ ID NO: 2. Preferably the method comprises determining the presence of a mutation in the kinase domain of c-Src in a tumour sample from a patient at any one of the following positions as defined in SEQ ID NO: 1: positions 744 to 1554 inclusive, and/or at any one of the following positions as defined in SEQ ID NO:2: positions 248 to 518 inclusive.
c-Src is known to share regions of homology with both the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the oncogene abi, both of which are the targets of studies for anti- cancer therapeutic agents. Given the lack of mutations identified in c- Src despite the work of a number of groups it is surprising that we have identified mutations in c-Src within homologous regions occurring at or near to the same relative position as known mutations in EGFR and abl. Pharmacokinetic studies of anti-cancer therapeutic agents have identified a number of mutations in EGFR and abl which effect the likelihood and magnitude of patient response, for example see Lynch 2004, Paez 2004, La Rosee, 2002.
It is contemplated that the mutations in c-Src described herein will therefore affect the response of a patient to a c-Src drug.
All the mutations in c-Src described herein have been identified in the kinase domain (also known as the ATP-binding or catalytic domain). Without wishing to be bound by theoretical considerations it is considered that at least some such mutations are likely to affect the ATP binding and kinase activity of c-Src. To illustrate, Met 344, which we have found to be mutated in c-Src, is involved in hydrogen bonding to the quinazoline moiety of the AZ series of c-Src inhibitors and to PD173955 (PIe, 2004).

Cycle conditions: Tm 61 - 95 C for 10 minutes followed by 35 cycles of 95 C for 1 minute, 61 C for 1 minute and 72 C for 1 minute. A final extension step of 72 C for 10 minutes was used.
Touchdown 61 - 95 C for 10 minutes followed by 13 cycles of 94 C for 20 seconds, 61 C for 1 minute (dropping 0.5 C/cycle), 72 C for 1 minute. Standard cycling conditions were then carried out for a further 29 cycles at an annealing temperature of 54 C.
Touchdown 63 - 95 C for 10 minutes followed by 13 cycles of 95 C for 30 seconds, 63 C for 30 seconds (dropping 0.5 C/cycle), 72 C for 1 minute. Standard cycling conditions were then carried out for a further 19 cycles at an annealing temperature of 58 C.
PCR products (10 p.1) were treated with ExoSAP-IT (usb) (1 p.!, 1:2 dilution) to remove unincorporated oligonucleotides and nucleotides.
Example 3 - DNA sequencing Sequencing reactions were performed using ABI Big Dye Terminator chemistry (at a 1:16 dilution) and then run on an ABI 3730 sequencer as described in the Applied Biosystems manual. Sequence chromatograms were analysed using Mutation Surveyor software.
