Targeting the E2F1/GAS5/p53 Axis as a Potential Therapeutic Strategy for Gefitinib-Resistant Lung Cancer

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is one of the most common and fatal cancer worldwide. There are two major types of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Recently, gefitinib, a small molecule, which target tyrosine kinase, has been regarded as the first-line treatment in NSCLC patients. However, several patients have been observed tumor recurrence and eventually developed progressive outcomes after target therapy. Thus, an effective therapeutic approach need to be explored. Here, we found that ectopically expressed ATP synthase on plasma membrane exhibited gefitinib-resistance properties in lung cancer cell lines. Furthermore, we unraveled that citreoviridin, an ectopic ATP synthase inhibitor, suppressed the abilities of both proliferation and colony formation in lung cancer cell lines. To elucidate the comprehensive mechanism regulated by citreoviridin, we performed microarray analysis. The results indicated that not only mRNAs but also long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in citreoviridin-treated cell death. One of the well-known lncRNAs, growth arrest-specific transcript (GAS5), was robustly upregulated after citreoviridin treatment. In order to investigate the upstream modulator of GAS5, we utilized chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay and revealed that E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) could bind to the promoter of GAS5. Consistently, both microarray and qPCR data showed the expression level of E2F1 was negatively correlated to GAS5 after citreoviridin treatment. The evidence suggests that E2F1 might be a potential repressor of GAS5. Furthermore, combining microarray and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) analysis as well as qPCR demonstrated that p53 pathway was activated. To further realize the GAS5-p53 regulating network, RNA-protein pull-down assay followed by LC-MS/MS will be utilized to dissect the GAS5-interacting proteomic profiling.From the results, we identified 107 GAS5-interacting proteins in common from A549 and H1975 cell lines. Our proteomics experiments identified topoisomerase 2-alpha (TOP2A) as the key protein involved in the citreoviridin-regulated gefitinib-resistance pathway, therefore, we picked out TOP2A for further study. Additionally, we further validated the interaction between TOP2A and GAS5 by western blot and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP). Taken together, this study suggests targeting E2F1/GAS5/p53 axis is a potential therapeutic strategy for gefitinib-resistant lung cancer.

The EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib is commonly used for lung cancer patients. However, some patients eventually become resistant to gefitinib and develop progressive disease. Here, we indicate that ecto-ATP synthase, which ectopically translocated from mitochondrial inner membrane to plasma membrane, is considered as a potential therapeutic target for drug-resistant cells. Quantitative multi-omics profiling reveals that ecto-ATP synthase inhibitor mediates CK2-dependent phosphorylation ...[more]

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Gefitinib, epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is the first-line treatment of NSCLC, however, many patients eventually become resistant and experience progressive disease. Therefore, development of efficient therapeutic agents to overcome resistance is urgent. We previously found that citreoviridin, one of toxic mycotoxins derived from fungal species, can suppress lung cancer cell growth by inhibiting the activity of ectopic ATP synthase, but has limited effect on normal cells. Citreoviridin suppresses mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling by site-specific dephosphorylation of HSP90AB1 on Serine 255 in gefitinib non-resistant lung cancer CL1-0 cells and xenograft model. We are curious whether signaling pathways underlying citreoviridin-treated gefitinib-acquired resistant lung cancer cells are different. In this study, we showed that citreoviridin inhibited cell proliferation and anchorage-dependent growth of gefitinib-acquired resistance NCI-H1975 cells with EGFR T790M mutation. Furthermore, we explored the dynamic molecular response by temporal phosphoproteomic approach. We identified 1476 phosphopeptides corresponding to 738 phosphoproteins and quantified 1901 phosphorylation sites. There were 274 phosphosites corresponding to 174 phosphorylated proteins significantly differential expressed. Functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that citreoviridin treatment affected chromatin organization, cell cycle and apoptosis. Interestingly, we found that citreovirdin suppressed cell proliferation by site-specific phosphorylation of topoisomerase on serine 1106. Citreovirdin induced double strands breaks, and then leaded to DNA damage response. The DNA lesions triggered cells to cell cycle arrest at S phase for repairing or apoptosis for cell death. The results indicated that citreoviridin could potentially be a therapeutic agent against gefitinib-resistant NSCLC.
