Description: Abemaciclib, also known as LY2835219, is orally available cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor that targets the CDK4 (cyclin D1) and CDK6 (cyclin D3) cell cycle pathway, with potential antineoplastic activity. LY2835219 inhibits CDK4 and CDK6 with low nanomolar potency. LY2835219 specifically inhibits CDK4 and 6, thereby inhibiting retinoblastoma (Rb) protein phosphorylation in early G1. Inhibition of Rb phosphorylation prevents CDK-mediated G1-S phase transition, thereby arresting the cell cycle in the G1 phase, suppressing DNA synthesis and inhibiting cancer cell growth.

Biological target: Abemaciclib (LY2835219) is a CDK4/6 inhibitor with IC50 values of 2 nM and 10 nM for CDK4 and CDK6, respectively.
In vitro activity: Abemaciclib’s main mechanism of action has been demonstrated to be the inhibition of cell cycle progression leading to senescence in Rb-positive cells. Additionally, abemaciclib has been reported in other cancer types to cause apoptosis. An increase in cleaved caspase 3 levels—an early marker of apoptosis— was detected in Mia PaCa2 cells treated with abemaciclib compared to no treatment on days 1–3 of treatment, compared to staurosporine-treated cells which served as the positive control (Figure 2B). To confirm these findings, live cell staining for caspase 3/7 activity was performed and a significant increase in fluorescent caspase 3/7 cleavage activity (Figure 2C) over days 1 and 2 in Mia PaCa2 cells (p<0.001, p<0.025 respectively) was detected. Similar results were obtained in Panc-1 and HS 766T cells (Figure 2C). As a validating marker for early and late apoptosis, annexin V staining was performed after 3 days of abemaciclib treatment. An increase in apoptotic and dead cells was detected when compared to no treatment in all cell lines.

In vivo activity: In an in vivo study using Mia PaCa2 cells in a subcutaneous xenograft mouse model, a significant decrease in tumor growth in the abemaciclib treated arm versus control (p<0.0001) was observed (Figure 5A, Supplemental 4A). Harvested tumors from the xenograft study were sectioned and stained for pRb, Rb, and Ki67. The abemaciclib-treated tumors demonstrated a decrease in pRb and total Rb expression compared to vehicle (Figure 5C, Supplemental 4C). Pathologist scoring and quantification of IHC staining shows that in the abemaciclib-treated tumors, there was 46.3% cells with positive pRb staining, compared to no treatment which had 74.5% cells with positive pRb. Additionally, compared to no treatment which had 78.8% cells with positive Ki67 staining, the abemaciclib-treated tumors had 59.5% cells with positive Ki67 staining (Figure 5D). Overall, when normalized to no treatment, abemaciclib-treated tumors had approximately 38% reduction in pRb staining and 25% reduction in pRb/ total Rb staining along with Ki67 stianing (Figure 5D). These results demonstrate that abemaciclib treatment induces apoptosis, decreases pRb and tumor growth, and induces senescence in this in vivo xenograft model.
