TKI-resistant T790M EGFR Mutation Rewired EGFR Translocation Routes through Switching Interactome in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

ABSTRACT: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) harboring active mutations, Del19 and L858R, are most common oncogenic mutations in in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The preferred treatment at first line is tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) administration while the TKI-resistance usually develops because of acquiring the secondary EGFR T790M mutant. Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) constitute the signaling scaffold and thus aberrant PPIs ascribed to mutations often results in dysregulations of downstream signaling cascades. Affinity purification coupled mass spectrometry (AP-MS) was utilized to characterize the EGFR PPIs in four NSCLC cells which carry different EGFR subtypes representing as TKI-sensitive and -resistant models in this study. The EGFR interactomes of TKI-resistant NSCLC cells presented higher diversity of subcellular distribution as well as the hyperactive EGFR trafficking. Furthermore, gefitinib perturbation activated autophagy-mediated EGFR degradation in TKI-resistant NSCLC models and inhibiting autophagy process indeed reduced the TKI-resistance against gefitinib as cytotoxicity was significantly improved. Alternatively, gefitinib induced EGFR translocation toward cell periphery through Rab7 ubiquitination in TKI-sensitive models which may confer TKIs more chance to suppress EGFR activity. In brief, acquired T790M EGFR mutation rewired the EGFR inherent interactomes and thus guided EGFR moving toward distinct trafficking routes, EGFR recycling or autophagy-mediated degradation, in response to TKI insult in TKI-sensitive and -resistant NSCLC cells. These finding suggest that manipulation or combined autophagy inhibition may provide us a novel therapeutic strategy to manage TKI-resistance and tumor relapse in NSCLC.

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. Examination of mRNA levels in DMSO and gefitinib-resistant cultures of HCC4006 and HCC827. Each group has two replicates.
