AC099850.3/NCAPG Axis Predicts Poor Prognosis and is Associated with Resistance to EGFR Tyrosine-Kinase Inhibitors in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

TKI-acquired resistance markedly interferes with treatment of lung cancer patients with EGFR mutant features. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) modify EGFR-TKI resistance during tumor progression. Non-structural maintenance of chromosomes condensin I complex subunit G (NCAPG) is a mitosis-related protein that is involved in tumorigenesis. We investigated the potential regulatory lncRNAs of NCAPG in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and assessed their roles in EGFR-TKI resistance.

Methods

Data for 1678 lung cancer patients were retrieved from TCGA and GEO databases and used to evaluate NCAPG and lncRNAs expressions, as well as their prognostic significance in LUAD. Protein levels of NCAPG in LUAD were validated by immuno-histochemistry. To assess the relationship between NCA
