Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous subgroup of breast cancer that is associated with poor prognosis. We evaluated the activity of CDK4/6 inhibitors across TNBC subtypes, and investigated the mechanisms of sensitivity. A panel of cell lines representative of TNBC were tested for CDK4/6 sensitivity, in vitro and in vivo. A fluorescent CDK2 activity reporter was used for single cell analysis in conjunction with time-lapse imaging. The luminal androgen receptor (LAR) subtype of TNBC was highly sensitive to CDK4/6 inhibition both in vitro [p<0.001 LAR vs. basal-like] and in vivo in MDA-MB-453 LAR cell line xenografts. Single cell analysis of CDK2 activity demonstrated difference in cell cycle dynamics between LAR and basal-like cells. Palbociclib-sensitive LAR cells exit mitosis with low levels of CDK2 activity, into a quiescent state that requires CDK4/6 activity for cell cycle re-entry. Palbociclib-resistant basal-like cells exit mitosis directly into a proliferative state, with high levels of CDK2 activity, bypassing the restriction point and the requirement for CDK4/6 activity. High CDK2 activity post-mitosis is driven by temporal deregulation of cyclin E1 expression. CDK4/6 inhibitors were synergistic with PI3 kinase inhibitors in PIK3CA mutant TNBC cell lines, extending CDK4/6 inhibitor sensitivity to additional TNBC subtypes. Cell cycle dynamics determines response to CDK4/6 inhibition in TNBC. CDK4/6 inhibitor, alone and in combination, are a novel therapeutic strategy for specific subgroups of TNBC.
