Isoliquiritigenin induces apoptosis and inhibits xenograft tumor growth of human lung cancer cells by targeting both wild type and L858R/T790M mutant EGFR.

ABSTRACT: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with diverse genetic alterations including mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Isoliquiritigenin (ILQ), a chalcone derivative, possesses anticancer activities. In the present study, we investigated the effects of ILQ on the growth of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-sensitive and -resistant NSCLC cells and elucidated its underlying mechanisms. Treatment with ILQ inhibited growth and induced apoptosis in both TKI-sensitive and -resistant NSCLC cells. ILQ-induced apoptosis was associated with the cleavage of caspase-3 and poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase, increased expression of Bim, and reduced expression of Bcl-2. In vitro kinase assay results revealed that ILQ inhibited the catalytic activity of both wild type and double mutant (L858R/T790M) EGFR. Treatment with ILQ inhibited the anchorage-independent growth of NIH3T3 cells stably transfected with either wild type or double-mutant EGFR with or without EGF stimulation. ILQ also reduced the phosphorylation of Akt and ERK1/2 in both TKI-sensitive and -resistant NSCLC cells, and attenuated the kinase activity of Akt1 and ERK2 in vitro. ILQ directly interacted with both wild type and double-mutant EGFR in an ATP-competitive manner. A docking model study showed that ILQ formed two hydrogen bonds (Glu-762 and Met-793) with wild type EGFR and three hydrogen bonds (Lys-745, Met-793, and Asp-855) with mutant EGFR. ILQ attenuated the xenograft tumor growth of H1975 cells, which was associated with decreased expression of Ki-67 and diminished phosphorylation of Akt and ERK1/2. Taken together, ILQ suppresses NSCLC cell growth by directly targeting wild type or mutant EGFR.

Project description:Activating double mutations L858R/T790M in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) region are often observed as the cause of resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Third-generation EGFR-TKIs, such as osimertinib and rociletinib (CO-1686), was developed to target such resistance mutations. The detection of activating L858R/T790M mutations is necessary to select sensitive patients for therapy. Hence, we aimed to develop novel radiobromine-labeled CO-1686 as a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging probe for detecting EGFR L858R/T790M mutations. Nonradioactive brominated-CO1686 (BrCO1686) was synthesized by the condensation of N-(3-[{2-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4-yl}amino]-5-bromophenyl) acrylamide with the corresponding substituted 1-(4-[4-amino-3-methoxyphenyl]piperazine-1-yl)ethan-1-one. The radiobrominated [77Br]BrCO1686 was prepared through bromodestannylation of the corresponding tributylstannylated precursor with [77Br]bromide and N-chlorosuccinimide. Although we aimed to provide a novel PET imaging probe, 77Br was used as an alternative radionuclide for 76Br. We fundamentally evaluated the potency of [77Br]BrCO1686 as a molecular probe for detecting EGFR L858R/T790M using human non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines: H1975 (EGFR L858R/T790M), H3255 (EGFR L858R), and H441 (wild-type EGFR). The BrCO1686 showed high cytotoxicity toward H1975 (IC50 0.18 ± 0.06 µM) comparable to that of CO-1686 (IC50 0.14 ± 0.05 µM). In cell uptake experiments, the level of accumulation of [77Br]BrCO1686 in H1975 was significantly higher than those in H3255 and H441 upon 4 h of incubation. The radioactivity of [77Br]BrCO1686 (136.3% dose/mg protein) was significantly reduced to 56.9% dose/mg protein by the pretreatment with an excess CO-1686. These results indicate that the binding site of the radiotracers should be identical to that of CO-1686. The in vivo accumulation of radioactivity of [77Br]BrCO1686 in H1975 tumor (4.51 ± 0.17) was higher than that in H441 tumor (3.71 ± 0.13) 1 h postinjection. Our results suggested that [77Br]BrCO1686 has specificity toward NSCLC cells with double mutations EGFR L858R/T790M compared to those in EGFR L858R and wild-type EGFR. However, the in vivo accumulation of radioactivity in the targeted tumor needs to be optimized by structural modification.
