DUSP5 regulated by YTHDF1-mediated m6A modification promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and EGFR-TKI resistance via the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients have a dismal survival rate because of cancer metastasis and drug resistance. The study aims to identify the genes that concurrently modulate EMT, metastasis and EGFR-TKI resistance, and to investigate the underlying regulatory mechanisms.

Methods

Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analyses were applied to identify prognostic oncogenes in LUAD. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to indicate the biological functions of the gene. Wound-healing and Transwell assays were used to detect migratory and invasive ability. EGFR-TKI sensitivity was evaluated by assessing the proliferation, clonogenic survival and metastatic capability of cancer cells with treatment with gefitinib. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) and RNA i
