A large scale proteome analysis of the gefitinib primary resistance overcome by KDAC inhibition in KRAS mutated adenocarcinoma cells overexpressing amphiregulin
2019
Abstract KDAC inhibitors (KDACi) overcome
gefitinibprimary resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) including mutant-
KRASlung adenocarcinoma. To identify which proteins are involved in the restoration of this sensitivity and to provide new therapeutic targets for mutant-
KRASlung adenocarcinoma, we performed an iTRAQ
quantitative proteomicanalysis after subcellular fractionation of H358-NSCLC treated with
gefitiniband KDACi (TSA/NAM) versus
gefitinibalone. The 86 proteins found to have been significantly dysregulated between the two conditions, were mainly involved in cellular metabolism and cell transcription processes. As expected, the pathway related to histone modifications was affected by the KDACi. Pathways known for controlling tumor development and (chemo)-resistance (miRNA biogenesis/
glutathione metabolism) were affected by the KDACi/
gefitinibtreatment. Moreover, 57 dysregulated proteins were upstream of apoptosis (such as
eEF1A2and
STAT1) and hence provide potential therapeutic targets. The inhibition by siRNA of
eEF1A2expression resulted in a slight decrease in H358-NSCLC viability. In addition,
eEF1A2and
STAT1siRNA transfections suggested that both
STAT1and
eEF1A2prevent AKT phosphorylation known for enhancing
gefitinibresistance in NSCLC. Therefore, altogether our data provide new insights into proteome regulations in the context of overcoming the NSCLC resistance to
gefitinibthrough KDACi in H358
KRASmutated and
amphiregulin-overexpressing NSCLC cells.
