TFEB controls sensitivity to chemotherapy and immuno-killing in non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) the efficacy of chemo-immunotherapy is affected by the high expression of drug efflux transporters as ABCC1 and by the low expression of ABCA1, mediating the isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP)-dependent anti-tumor activation of Vγ9Vδ2 T-lymphocytes. In endothelial cells ABCA1 is a predicted target of the transcription factor EB (TFEB), but no data exists on the correlation between TFEB and ABC transporters involved in the chemo-immuno-resistance in NSCLC.

Methods

The impact of TFEB/ABCC1/ABCA1 expression on NSCLC patients' survival was analyzed in the TCGA-LUAD cohort and in a retrospective cohort of our institution. Human NSCLC cells silenced for TFEB (shTFEB) were analyzed for ABC transporter expression, chemosensitivity and im
