Analysis of gene expression change between HCC827 SC and HCC827 shCEACAM6

ABSTRACT: CEACAM family proteins have been extensively studied as cell adhesion molecules, yet the biological and clinical significance of CEACAM6 remains relatively unexplored. Our research identifies a significant increase in CEACAM6 expression in lung adenocarcinoma, particularly correlating with EGFR mutation status. In EGFR-mutated lung cancer cells, CEACAM6 knockdown induced apoptosis and reduced p-ERK1/2 signaling downstream of EGFR. Treatment with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) decreased CEACAM6 levels, leading to TKI-resistant lung cancer cells that exhibited reduced p-ERK1/2 and increased epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) characteristics. Co-immunoprecipitation assays revealed an interaction between CEACAM6 and EGFR. Although CEACAM6 expression was lost in EGFR-TKI resistant cells, its re-expression stabilized EGFR and increased sensitivity to EGFR-TKIs. TGF-? treatment, which induced EMT, also decreased CEACAM6 expression and improved EGFR-TKI resistance. Further analysis showed that EGFR-TKI resistant lung cancer cells had lower H3K27ac epigenetic modification levels at the CEACAM6 locus than EGFR-TKI sensitive cells. Treatment with HDAC1/2 inhibitors in EGFR-TKI sensitive cells reduced CEACAM6 expression, induced EMT and TGF-?-ligand/receptor gene expression, and enhanced EGFR-TKI resistance. These data highlight the crucial role of CEACAM6 in maintaining oncogenic EGFR signaling and its regulation by cytokine stimulation and epigenetic modification, influencing EGFR-TKI sensitivity. Our findings underscore CEACAM6's potential as a valuable biomarker in EGFR-driven lung adenocarcinoma and its intricate involvement in EGFR-related pathways.

Project description:Despite initial and often dramatic responses of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-addicted lung tumors to the EGFR-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), gefitinib and erlotinib, nearly all develop resistance and relapse. To explore novel mechanisms mediating acquired resistance, we employed non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines bearing activating mutations in EGFR and rendered them resistant to EGFR-specific TKIs through chronic adaptation in tissue culture. In addition to previously observed resistance mechanisms including EGFR-T790M 'gate-keeper' mutations and MET amplification, a subset of the seven chronically adapted NSCLC cell lines including HCC4006, HCC2279 and H1650 cells exhibited marked induction of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 2 and FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) mRNA and protein. Also, adaptation to EGFR-specific TKIs was accompanied by an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) as assessed by changes in CDH1, VIM, ZEB1 and ZEB2 expression and altered growth properties in Matrigel. In adapted cell lines exhibiting increased FGF2 and FGFR1 expression, measures of growth and signaling, but not EMT, were blocked by FGFR-specific TKIs, an FGF-ligand trap and FGFR1 silencing with RNAi. In parental HCC4006 cells, cell growth was strongly inhibited by gefitinib, although drug-resistant clones progress within 10 days. Combined treatment with gefitinib and AZD4547, an FGFR-specific TKI, prevented the outgrowth of drug-resistant clones. Thus, induction of FGF2 and FGFR1 following chronic adaptation to EGFR-specific TKIs provides a novel autocrine receptor tyrosine kinase-driven bypass pathway in a subset of lung cancer cell lines that are initially sensitive to EGFR-specific TKIs. The findings support FGFR-specific TKIs as potentially valuable additions to existing targeted therapeutic strategies with EGFR-specific TKIs to prevent or delay acquired resistance in EGFR-driven NSCLC.

Project description:EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have demonstrated tremendous clinical benefits in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, resistance emerges rapidly due to a variety of mechanisms including a secondary mutation of T790M in EGFR that abrogates the binding of the drugs. It has been postulated that EGFR TKIs, such as afatinib (BIBW2992), with activity against the T790M mutant EGFR kinase might overcome the drug resistance problem or, when used as the first-line treatment, delay or suppress the emergence of resistance in EGFR. In this study, we generated BIBW2992-resistant cells, HCC827-BR1 and HCC827-BR2, from the parental HCC827 cells. In HCC827-BR cells, EGFR, MET, and Erb2 were down-regulated and no secondary mutation was found to be present in the coding region of EGFR. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed an obvious signature of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the drug resistant cells. Subsequently, the HCC827-BR cells were shown to be more invasive. Most importantly, we strived to seek if alternative medicine might be applied alone or in combination to treat the BIBW2992-resistant cells or to, under BIBW2992 treatment, diminish the emergence of resistant cells. Compared to the parental cells, the HCC827-BR cells were more sensitive to dasatinib, an FDA-approved kinase inhibitor. Furthermore, as revealed in the clonogenicity assay, the reduction of tumor-colony-forming cells after exposure to BIBW2992 was substantially potentiated by low concentration of dasatinib. Thus, prospective clinical investigations may be needed to evaluate if dasatinib can be beneficial to patients receiving second-generation EGFR TKIs for the treatment of NSCLC. Over a period of 3-4 months, BIBW2992-resistant cells were isolated in cell culture by maintenance of HCC827 cells in the presence of escalating concentrations of BIBW2992 up to 2 Î¼M. Two cell lines, HCC827-BR1 and HCC827-BR2, were established based on individual clones. Total RNA of these HCC827, HCC827-BR1 and HCC827-BR2, were extracted for gene expression microarray analysis using Illumina HumanHT12 v3 BeadChip.

Project description:Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. The treatment of lung cancer patients harboring mutant EGFR with orally administered EGFR TKIs has been a paradigm shift. Osimertinib and rociletinib are two 3rd generation irreversible EGFR TKIs targeting the EGFR T790M mutation. Osimertinib is the current standard care for patients with EGFR mutations due to increased efficacy, lower side effects, and enhanced brain penetrance. Unfortunately, all patients develop resistance to it. Genomic approaches have primarily been used to interrogate resistance mechanisms. Here, we have characterized the proteome and phosphoproteome of a series of isogenic EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinoma cell lines that are either sensitive or resistant to these drugs. To our knowledge, this is the most comprehensive proteomic dataset resource to date to investigate 3rd generation EGFR TKI resistance in lung adenocarcinoma. We have interrogated this unbiased global quantitative proteomic and phosphoproteomic dataset to uncover alterations in signaling pathways, and to reveal a proteomic signature of EMT and kinases / phosphatases with altered protein expression and phosphorylation in the TKI resistant cells. We validated the significant role of SHP2 in the activation of RAS/MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. Furthermore, we performed anticorrelation analyses of this phosphoproteomic dataset with the published drug-induced P100 phosphoproteomic datasets from the Library of Integrated Network-Based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) program to predict drugs with the potential to overcome EGFR TKI resistance. We identified that dactolisib, a PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, in combination with osimertinib, may overcome osimertinib resistance both in vitro and in vivo. Introduction Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer mortality in the world (1). Many lung adenocarcinoma patients with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations initially respond dramaticlly to the first- or second-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, they eventually develop resistance. The most common mechanism of acquired resistance is the EGFR T790M gatekeeper site residue mutation (2). Osimertinib, a third generation irreversible EGFR TKI has been approved by the FDA to treat patients harboring the EGFR T790M mutation who have developed resistance to first- and second- generation EGFR TKIs (3). Recently, osimertinib was also approved for the front-line treatment of patients harboring EGFR mutations (4). Rociletinib is another irreversible inhibitor targeting the EGFR T790M mutation, which has minimal activity against wild-type EGFR. Both drugs have therapeutic benefits and have demonstrated activity in tumors with T790M-mediated resistance to other EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (5, 6). Further development of rociletinib was ceased in 2016 due to less than expected efficacy, poor brain penetration leading to tumor progression in brain tissues and off-target effects on IGFR activation leading to hyperglycemia (7, 8). Although 3rd-generation TKIs provide clinical benefit to most patients with EGFR mutations, some patients, demonstrating primary resistance, still do not respond to these inhibitors. Complete responses are rare, and all patients eventually develop resistance, suggesting primary and acquired resistance mechanisms decrease the efficacy of the drugs (9, 10). Genomic approaches have been used primarily to interrogate osimertinib resistance mechanisms (9, 11-15). Several mechanisms of osimertinib resistance have been identified (16), including novel second site EGFR mutations, activated bypass pathways such as MET amplification, HER2 amplification, RAS mutations, BRAF mutations, PIK3CA mutations, and novel fusion events (17). However, the resistance mechanism is complex and still not fully understood. Previously, we have used SILAC-based quantitative phosphoproteomics to identify the global dynamic modification which occur upon treatment of TKI-sensitive and -resistant lung adenocarcinoma cells with the 1st and 2nd generation EGFR TKIs, erlotinib and afatinib. Utilizing this strategy, we identified the targets of mutant EGFR signaling pathways responsible for TKI resistance, and possible off-target effects of the drugs (18, 19). In this study, we employed SILAC-based quantitative mass spectrometry to characterize alterations in the proteome and phosphoproteome which occur upon acquired resistance and sought to identify novel mechanisms of resistance to the third generation EGFR TKIs, osimertinib and rociletinib. To our knowledge, this is the most comprehensive 3rd generation EGFR TKI resistant proteome and phosphoproteome analysis resource available to date.
