Project description:EGF receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have achieved clinical successes in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, tumors often show profound but transient initial response and gain resistance. Here, we identified transcription factor ZNF263 as being significantly decreased in osimertinib-resistant or drug-tolerant persister LUAD cells and clinical residual tumor specimens. Exogenous expression of ZNF263 improved the initial response of cells and delayed the formation of persister cells with osimertinib. We elaborated that ZNF263 bound and recruited DNMT1 to the EGFR gene promoter, suppressing EGFR transcription with DNA hypermethylation. ZNF263 could also interact with nuclear EGFR (nEGFR), impairing the nEGFR-STAT5 interaction to enhance AURKA expression. Overexpressing ZNF263 also made tumor cells with wild-type EGFR expression or refractory EGFR mutations more susceptible to EGFR inhibition. More importantly, lentivirus or AAV-mediated plasmid delivery of ZNF263 synergistically suppressed tumor growth and regrowth with osimertinib in xenograft animal models. These findings suggest that enhancing ZNF263 may achieve complete response in LUAD with EGFR-targeted therapies.

Project description:BackgroundIntrinsic or acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) is common, thus strategies for the management of EGFR-TKIs resistance are urgently required. Ferroptosis is a recently discovered form of cell death that has been implicated in tumorigenesis and resistance treatment. Accumulating evidence suggests that ferroptosis can be therapeutically exploited for the treatment of solid tumors; however, whether ferroptosis can be targeted to treat EGFR mutant lung cancer and/or overcome the resistance to EGFR-TKIs is still unknown.MethodsThe effect of ferroptosis inducers on a panel of EGFR mutant lung cancer cell lines, including those with EGFR-TKI intrinsic and acquired (generated by long-term exposure to the third-generation EGFR-TKI osimertinib), was determined using cytotoxicity assays. Further, drug candidates to enhance the effect of ferroptosis inducers were screened through implementing WGCNA (weighted gene co-expression network analysis) and CMAP (connectivity map) analysis. Flow cytometry-based apoptosis and lipid hydroperoxides measurement were used to evaluate the cell fates after treatment.ResultsCompared with EGFR-TKI-sensitive cells, those with intrinsic or acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI display high sensitivity to ferroptosis inducers. In addition, Vorinostat, a clinically used inhibitor targeting histone deacetylase, can robustly enhance the efficacy of ferroptosis inducers, leading to a dramatic increase of hydroperoxides in EGFR mutant lung cancer cells with intrinsic or acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI. Mechanistically, Vorinostat promotes ferroptosis via xCT downregulation.ConclusionsFerroptosis-inducing therapy shows promise in EGFR-activating mutant lung cancer cells that display intrinsic or acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI. Histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) Vorinostat can further promote ferroptosis by inhibiting xCT expression.

Project description:BackgroundThyroid transcription factor (TTF)-1 expression is a diagnostic marker and a good prognostic indicator for lung adenocarcinoma. However, its good prognostic ability might be due to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-sensitizing mutations as shown by the positive correlation between TTF-1 expression and EGFR mutations. We explored the prognostic impact of TTF-1 expression according to EGFR-sensitizing mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma patients.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma. Data were extracted from the lung cancer registry of Hallym University Medical Centers (three hospitals) in Korea between March 2006 and March 2016.ResultsOverall, 173 patients were included. EGFR-sensitizing mutations were detected in 84 (51.4%) patients. TTF-1 expression was positive in 139 (80.3%) patients; it was significantly correlated with EGFR-sensitizing mutations (p < 0.001). TTF-1-positive lung adenocarcinoma patients had longer overall survival (OS) than those who were TTF-1 negative (19.3 vs. 5.8 months, p < 0.001). In a Cox regression analysis, TTF-1 positivity, Stage IV M1a, good performance status, and EGFR-sensitizing mutations were independently associated with prolonged OS. In the subgroup of wild-type EGFR adenocarcinoma patients, TTF-1 positivity was also a good prognostic indicator for OS and progression-free survival (PFS) after first-line cytotoxic chemotherapy.ConclusionsTTF-1 expression was a good prognostic indicator for OS and PFS in stage IV lung adenocarcinoma patients with and without EGFR-sensitizing mutations.

Project description:There is a discrepancy in the efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment for advanced lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients with EGFR sensitizing mutations (mEGFR). Molecular markers other than mEGFR remain to be investigated to better predict EGFR-TKI efficacy. Here, 49 LUAD patients with mEGFR (19 deletions or 21 L858R mutations) who received the first-generation EGFR-TKI icotinib therapy were included and stratified into 25 good-responders with a progression-free survival (PFS) longer than 11 months and 24 poor-responders with a PFS shorter than 11 months. We conducted targeted metabolomic detection and next-generation sequencing on serum and tissue samples, respectively. Subsequently, two metabolomic profiling-based discriminant models were constructed for icotinib efficacy prediction, 10 metabolites overlapped in both models ensured high credibility for distinguishing good- and poor-responders. Seven of the 10 metabolites displayed significant differences between the two groups, which belong to lipids including ceramides (Cers), lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs), lysophosphatidylethanolamines (LPEs), sphingomyelins (SMs), and free fatty acids (FAs). Briefly, LPC 16:1, LPC 22:5-1, and LPE 18:2 decreased in poor-responders, while Cer 36:1-3, Cer 38:1-3, SM 36:1-2 and SM 42:2 increased in poor-responders. In parallel, we identified 6 co-mutated genes (ARID1A, ARID1B, BCR, FANCD2, PTCH1, and RBM10) which were significantly correlated with a shorter PFS. Additionally, 4 efficacy-related metabolites (Cer 36:1-3, Cer 38:1-3, SM 36:1-2, and LPC 16:1) showed significant differences between the mutant and wild-type of 4 efficacy-related genes (ARID1A, ARID1B, BCR, and RBM10). SM 36:1-2 elevated while LPC 16:1 decreased in ARID1A, BCR, and RBM10 mutant groups compared to the wild-type groups. Cer 36:1-3 increased in the ARID1A and BCR mutant groups, and Cer 38:1-3 only rose in the ARID1A mutant group. Furthermore, we observed a causal-mediator-network-based interrelation between the 4 concurrently mutated genes and the 4 metabolites related metabolic genes in glycerophospholipid metabolism and sphingolipid metabolism pathways. This study demonstrated that lipids metabolism and concurrently mutated genes with mEGFR were associated with the icotinib efficacy, which provides novel perspectives in classifying clinical responses of mEGFR LUAD patients and reveals the potential of non-invasive pretreatment serum metabolites in predicting EGFR-TKI efficacy.

Project description:IntroductionEGFR is a therapeutic target in NSCLC for EGFR-mutant patients. Proximity ligation assay (PLA) is a method to detect functional signaling associated protein complexes. Growth factor receptor bound protein 2 (GRB2) is an adaptor protein that binds to the phosphorylated residues of active EGFR. Interaction of EGFR and GRB2 correlates with active EGFR signaling and leads to activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway.MethodsA PLA developed to detect EGFR-GRB2 interaction was measured by quantitative immunofluorescence using Automated Quantitative Analysis technology. EGFR pathway activation was assessed in patients with NSCLC with different mutation status along with overall EGFR expression. Additionally, the PLA to detect EGFR-GRB2 interaction was evaluated as a prognostic marker in two cohorts of patients with lung adenocarcinoma.ResultsThe PLA to detect EGFR-GRB2 interaction was unrelated to overall EGFR expression or mutation in a series of patients with NSCLC with known mutation status. EGFR-mutant (p = 0.04) and EGFR/KRAS wild-type tumors (p = 0.0049) had significantly higher EGFR pathway activation compared with KRAS-mutant cases, with no significant difference shown between mutation sites. In two series of patients with lung adenocarcinoma, the PLA to detect EGFR-GRB2 interaction was independently associated with longer survival (hazard ratio = 0.46, 95% confidence interval: 0.2-0.78, p = 0.0085 and hazard ratio = 0.48, 95% confidence interval: 0.2-0.85, p = 0.017). Total EGFR protein expression alone was not correlated with outcome.ConclusionsEGFR colocalization with GRB2 as assessed by PLA is not correlated with EGFR expression levels or mutation status, defining a patient group that may show EGFR pathway activation, as illustrated by its prognostic value. Future studies may determine whether this group is more likely to respond to EGFR-targeted therapies.
