Gene expression profiling of lung cancer cells following treatment with dasatinib

ABSTRACT: Mechanisms of resistance and sensitivity to the multi-targeted kinase inhibitor dasatinib are unknown. We previously found that lung cancer cells with kinase-inactivating BRAF mutations are sensitive to dasatinib and undergo senescence whereas cells with wild type BRAF are resistant. To better understand mechanisms underlaying the differential sensitivity of lung cancer cells to dasatinib, we performed gene expression profiling of lung cancer cells with (sensitive) and without (resistant) kinase-inactivating BRAF mutations

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.
