Dioscin overcome TKI resistance in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma cells via down-regulation of tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 expression.

ABSTRACT: Resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) results in tumor relapse and poor prognosis in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. TKI resistance caused by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations at T790M and c-Met amplification occurs through persistent activation of the MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. We therefore expected that dual inhibitors of both signaling pathways could overcome TKI resistance in lung adenocarcinoma. Here, dioscin was selected from a product library of Chinese naturally occurring compounds and overcame TKI resistance in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma cells. Mechanistically, dioscin may down-regulate the expression of SH2 domain-containing phosphatase-2 (SHP2) at the transcription level by increasing p53 binding to the SHP2 promoter due to reactive oxygen species (ROS). Simultaneous inhibition of MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT activation via decreased SHP2 expression and its interaction with GAB1 may be responsible for dioscin-mediated TKI sensitivity. A higher unfavorable response to TKI therapy occurred more commonly in patients with high SHP2 mRNA expression than in patients with low SHP2 mRNA expression. Therefore, we suggest that dioscin may act as a dual inhibitor of the MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways to overcome TKI resistance via dysregulation of SHP2 expression in lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) is a highly contagious pathogen, causing acute respiratory illnesses in human beings and animals and frequently giving rise to epidemic outbreaks. Evasion by IAV of host immunity facilitates viral replication and spread, which can be initiated through various mechanisms, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation. However, how EGFR mediates the suppression of antiviral systems remains unclear. Here, we examined host innate immune responses and their relevant signaling to EGFR upon IAV infection. IAV was found to induce the phosphorylation of EGFR and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) at an early stage of infection. Inhibition of EGFR or ERK suppressed the viral replication but increased the expression of type I and type III interferons (IFNs) and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), supporting the idea that IAV escapes from antiviral innate immunity by activating EGFR/ERK signaling. Meanwhile, IAV infection also induced the activation of Src homology region 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2). Pharmacological inhibition or small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based silencing of SHP2 enhanced the IFN-dependent antiviral activity and reduced virion production. Furthermore, knockdown of SHP2 attenuated the EGFR-mediated ERK phosphorylation triggered by viral infection or EGF stimulation. Conversely, ectopic expression of constitutively active SHP2 noticeably promoted ERK activation and viral replication, concomitant with diminished immune function. Altogether, the results indicate that SHP2 is crucial for IAV-induced activation of the EGFR/ERK pathway to suppress host antiviral responses.IMPORTANCE Viral immune evasion is the most important strategy whereby viruses evolve for their survival. This work shows that influenza A virus (IAV) suppressed the antiviral innate immunity through downregulation of IFNs and ISGs by activating EGFR/ERK signaling. Meanwhile, IAV also induced the activation of protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2, which was found to be responsible for modulating the EGFR-mediated ERK activity and subsequent antiviral effectiveness both in vitro and in vivo The results suggest that SHP2 is a key signal transducer between EGFR and ERK and plays a crucial role in suppressing host innate immunity during IAV infection. The finding enhances our understanding of influenza immune evasion and provides a new therapeutic approach to viral infection.

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.
