Oncogene-driven expression and activation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) promotes tumorigenesis and contributes to drug resistance. Increased expression of the kinases DDR2 (Discoid Domain Receptor 2), RET, PDGFRA, KIT, MET, and ALK (Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase) independently correlate with decreased overall survival (OS) and event free survival (EFS) of pediatric neuroblastoma. The multikinase inhibitor sitravatinib targets DDR2, RET, PDGFRA, KIT and MET with low nanomolar activity and we therefore tested its efficacy against orthotopic and syngeneic tumor models. Sitravatinib markedly reduced cell proliferation and migration in vitro independently of MYCN (N-Myc proto-oncogene), ALK, or MYC (c-Myc proto-oncogene) status, and inhibited proliferation and metastasis of human orthotopic xenografts. Oral administration of sitravatinib to homozygous Th-MYCN transgenic mice (Th-MYCN+/+) after tumor initiation completely arrested further tumor development with no mice dying of disease while maintained on sitravatinib treatment (control cohort 57 days median time to sacrifice). Among these top kinases, DDR2 expression has the strongest correlation with poor survival and high stage at diagnosis, and the highest sensitivity to the drug. We confirmed on-target inhibition of collagen-mediated activation of DDR2. Genetic knockdown of DDR2 partially phenocopies Sitravatinib treatment, limiting tumor development and metastasis across tumor models. Analysis of single cell sequencing data demonstrated that DDR2 is restricted to mesenchymal-type tumor subpopulations and is enriched in Schwann Cell Precursor (SCP) subpopulations found in high-risk disease. These data define an unsuspected role for sitravatinib as a therapeutic agent in neuroblastoma and reveal a novel function for DDR2 as a driver of tumor growth and metastasis.
