[Progress of c-MET Signaling Pathway and TKIs in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer].

ABSTRACT: c-MET is considered a promising oncogenic driver in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after the discovery of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). MET activation including gene mutation, amplification and protein overexpression, all of these are potential therapeutic targets and are associated with poor prognosis. Clinical evidence suggests a role for MET activation as both a primary oncogenic driver in subsets of lung cancer, and as a secondary driver of acquired resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). This review focuses on the MET activation in NSCLC and the latest trials of its treatment.

Targeting the MET-Signaling Pathway in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Evidence to Date.

Project description:The c-MET proto-oncogene (MET) plays an important role in lung oncogenesis, affecting cancer-cell survival, growth and invasiveness. The MET receptor in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a potential therapeutic target. The development of high-output next-generation sequencing techniques has enabled better identification of anomalies in the MET pathway, like the MET exon-14 (METex14) mutation. Moreover, analyses of epidermal growth factor-receptor (EGFR) and mechanisms of resistance to tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) demonstrated the importance of MET amplification as an escape mechanism in patients with TKI-treated EGFR-mutated NSCLCs. This review summarizes the laboratory findings on MET and its anomalies, trial results on METex14 alterations and MET amplification in non-EGFR mutated NSCLCs, and acquired resistance to TKI in EGFR-mutated NSCLCs. The outcomes of the first trials with anti-MET agents on non-selected NSCLC patients or those selected for MET overexpression were disappointing. Two situations seem the most promising today for the use of anti-MET agents to treat these patients: tumors harboring METex14 and those EGFR-sensitive mutation mutated under TKI-EGFR with a MET-amplification mechanism of resistance or EGFR-resistance mutation.

[Research Progress of the Role of EMT in EGFR-TKIs Resistance ?of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer].

Project description:Lung cancer is the one of the malignant tumor of the highest morbidity and mortality over the world, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) makes up about 80%. Nowadays, molecular targeted therapy has been the first-line treatment for NSCLC. Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are increasingly used in the clinical treatment, but the EGFR-TKIs acquired resistance becomes the bottleneck of continuation of EGFR-TKIs therapy. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a biological phenomenon in which epithelial cells are transformed into mesenchymal cells. EMT promoted metastasis, invasion of lung cancer and conferred characteristic of stem cell on cancer cells. Meanwhile, EMT is one of an important cause of EGFR-TKIs resistance in NSCLC. The recent studies have found that resistant cells restored the sensitivity to EGFR-TKIs by reversing EMT which suggested that the target of EMT may contribute to inhibit or even reverse the resistance of EGFR-TKIs. Here we make a review about research progress of EMT in EGFR-TKIs resistance in NSCLC.?.

CPNE1 promotes non-small cell lung cancer progression by interacting with RACK1 via the MET signaling pathway.

Project description:BackgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer and the most lethal tumour worldwide. Copine 1 (CPNE1) was identified as a novel oncogene in NSCLC in our previous study. However, its specific function and relative mechanisms remain poorly understood.MethodsThe biological role of CPNE1 and RACK1 in NSCLC was investigated using gene expression knockdown and overexpression, cell proliferation assays, clonogenic assays, and Transwell assays. The expression levels of CPNE1, RACK1 and other proteins were determined by western blot analysis. The relationship between CPNE1 and RACK1 was predicted and investigated by mass spectrometry analysis, immunofluorescence staining, and coimmunoprecipitation. NSCLC cells were treated with a combination of a MET inhibitor and gefitinib in vitro and in vivo.ResultsWe found that CPNE1 facilitates tumorigenesis in NSCLC by interacting with RACK1, which further induces activation of MET signaling. CPNE1 overexpression promoted cell proliferation, migration, invasion and MET signaling in NSCLC cells, whereas CPNE1 knockdown produced the opposite effects. In addition, the suppression of the enhancing effect of CPNE1 overexpression on tumorigenesis and MET signaling by knockdown of RACK1 was verified. Moreover, compared to single-agent treatment, dual blockade of MET and EGFR resulted in enhanced reductions in the tumour volume and downstream signaling in vivo.ConclusionsOur findings show that CPNE1 promotes tumorigenesis by interacting with RACK1 and activating MET signaling. The combination of a MET inhibitor with an EGFR-TKI attenuated tumour growth more significantly than either single-drug treatment. These findings may provide new insights into the biological function of CPNE1 and the development of novel therapeutic strategies for NSCLC. Video Abstract.

[Progress on Mechanism of MET Gene Mutation and Targeted Drugs in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer].

Project description:Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) gene is an important tumor driver gene of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Drugs targeting MET 14 exon skipping mutation bring new hope to patients. MET inhibitors that are currently on the market or are about to be marketed include: crizotinib, cabozantinib, savolitinib and tepotinib. The objective response rate of MET inhibitors is high, and the safety is good. However, resistance of MET-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is inevitable, so it is necessary to pay attention to the study of drug resistance mechanism. In addition, the combined use of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/MET inhibitors and other drugs may play an important role in inhibiting and reversing drug resistance.

Are TKIs favourable for the elderly with non-small-cell lung cancer?

Project description:Background: Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have changed treatment strategies for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring mutations in EGFR gene. This retrospective analysis assessed efficacy and safety of TKIs in elderly compared to younger patients. Patients and methods: 49 patients with advanced NSCLC and mutations in exon 19 or 21 receiving a first-line therapy with TKIs were included and divided into patients aged <70 years and patients aged ? 70 years. Primary endpoints were progression free survival (PFS), response rate (RR) and clinical benefit in terms of quality of life; secondary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Results: Median PFS was significantly longer in elderly in comparison to younger patients (12.6 and 5.6 months, respectively; p= .008). RR was 64% in younger patients and 75% in elderly population. Eighteen out of 20(90%) elderly patients treated with gefitinib experienced symptoms relief and upgrading of performance status. No difference in terms of OS was found (p= .34). Conclusion: TKIs seem more effective in elderly than in younger patients affected by NSCLC with an EGFR gene mutation. We hypothesize that the main difference between the two populations is the number of medications related to concomitant comorbidities that cause an increased plasma level of TKIs.

Cigarette smoke enhances oncogene addiction to c-MET and desensitizes EGFR-expressing non-small cell lung cancer to EGFR TKIs.

Project description:Cigarette smoking is one of the leading risks for lung cancer and is associated with the insensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, it remains undetermined whether and how cigarette smoke affects the therapeutic efficacy of EGFR TKIs. In this study, our data showed that chronic exposure to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) or tobacco smoke-derived carcinogen benzo[?]pyrene, B[?]P, but not nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK), reduced the sensitivity of wild-type EGFR-expressing NSCLC cells to EGFR TKIs. Treatment with TKIs almost abolished EGFR tyrosine kinase activity but did not show an inhibitory effect on downstream Akt and ERK pathways in B[?]P-treated NSCLC cells. CSE and B[?]P transcriptionally upregulate c-MET and activate its downstream Akt pathway, which is not inhibited by EGFR TKIs. Silencing of c-MET reduces B[?]P-induced Akt activation. The CSE-treated NSCLC cells are sensitive to the c-MET inhibitor crizotinib. These findings suggest that cigarette smoke augments oncogene addiction to c-MET in NSCLC cells and that MET inhibitors may show clinical benefits for lung cancer patients with a smoking history.

Wnt signaling pathway pharmacogenetics in non-small cell lung cancer.

Project description:Wingless-type protein (Wnt)/β-catenin pathway alterations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are associated with poor prognosis and resistance. In 598 stage III-IV NSCLC patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy at the MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC), we correlated survival with 441 host single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 50 Wnt pathway genes. We then assessed the most significant SNPs in 240 Mayo Clinic patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC, 127 MDACC patients receiving platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy and 340 early stage MDACC patients undergoing surgery alone (cohorts 2-4). In multivariate analysis, survival correlates with SNPs for AXIN2 (rs11868547 and rs4541111, of which rs11868547 was assessed in cohorts 2-4), Wnt-5B (rs12819505), CXXC4 (rs4413407) and WIF-1 (rs10878232). Median survival was 19.7, 15.6 and 10.7 months for patients with 1, 2 and 3-5 unfavorable genotypes, respectively (P=3.8 × 10(-9)). Survival tree analysis classified patients into two groups (median survival time 11.3 vs 17.3 months, P=4.7 × 10(-8)). None of the SNPs achieved significance in cohorts 2-4; however, there was a trend in the same direction as cohort 1 for 3 of the SNPs. Using online databases, we found rs10878232 displayed expression quantitative trait loci correlation with the expression of LEMD3, a neighboring gene previously associated with NSCLC survival. In conclusion, results from cohort 1 provide further evidence for an important role for Wnt in NSCLC. Investigation of Wnt inhibitors in advanced NSCLC would be reasonable. Lack of an SNP association with outcome in cohorts 2-4 could be due to low statistical power, impact of patient heterogeneity or false-positive observations in cohort 1.

MET Exon 14 Skipping in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) harboring specific genetic alterations can be highly sensitive to targeted therapies.We performed a targeted rearrangement assay on 54 NSCLCs across all stages that were from patients who were never smokers and did not have driver mutations. Because MET exon 14 skipping was the most frequent alteration found, we surveyed the results for MET exon 14 skipping at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) since the inclusion of this alteration into our current molecular profiling panel.In a cohort of 54 never-smokers with lung cancers that were wild-type for known driver mutations, MET exon 14 skipping was the most frequently recurring alteration, occurring in 10 cancers (19%). Clinical testing at MGH via our next-generation sequencing (NGS) and NGS-rearrangement panels showed an additional 16 cases of MET exon 14 skipping, for an overall estimated frequency of 5.6%. A clinical case of a patient with MET exon 14 skipping treated with the MET inhibitor crizotinib is also described.MET exon 14 skipping is a targetable gene alteration found in NSCLC. Patients with these alterations may respond well to MET inhibition.MET exon 14 skipping occurs with an approximately 5% frequency in NSCLC and is seen in both squamous and adenocarcinoma histology. Patients whose cancers have MET exon 14 skipping can respond well to MET inhibitors. Molecular testing for MET exon 14 skipping should be performed on all lung cancers because this is a targetable alteration.

MET Inhibitor Capmatinib Radiosensitizes MET Exon 14-Mutated and MET-Amplified Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Project description:PurposeThe objective of this study was to investigate the effects of inhibiting the MET receptor with capmatinib, a potent and clinically relevant ATP-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in combination with radiation in MET exon 14-mutated and MET-amplified non-small cell lung (NSCLC) cancer models.Methods and materialsIn vitro effects of capmatinib and radiation on cell proliferation, colony formation, MET signaling, apoptosis, and DNA damage repair were evaluated. In vivo tumor responses were assessed in cell line xenograft and patient-derived xenograft models. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to confirm in vitro results.ResultsIn vitro clonogenic survival assays demonstrated radiosensitization with capmatinib in both MET exon 14-mutated and MET-amplified NSCLC cell lines. No radiation-enhancing effect was observed in MET wild-type NSCLC and human bronchial epithelial cell line. Minimal apoptosis was detected with the combination of capmatinib and radiation. Capmatinib plus radiation compared to radiation alone resulted in inhibition of DNA double-strand break repair as measured by prolonged expression of γH2AX. In vivo, the combination of capmatinib and radiation significantly delayed tumor growth compared to vehicle control, capmatinib alone, or radiation alone. IHC indicated inhibition of phospho-MET and phospho-S6 and a decrease in Ki67 with inhibition of MET.ConclusionsInhibition of MET with capmatinib enhanced the effect of radiation in both MET exon 14-mutated and MET-amplified NSCLC models.

[Progress of Long Non-coding RNA in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer].

Project description:Lung cancer is one of the most important malignant tumors in the world. The morbidity and mortality rank the first in all kinds of cancer. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is at least 200 nt long and has no protein coding capacity. It plays an important role in the epigenetic regulation, cell cycle regulation, the regulation of cell differentiation, and many other life activities. The studies indicate that dysregulation of lncRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue and blood circulation is associated with the occurrence and development of cancer. The lncRNAs play an significant role in proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis of the tumor cells. Explore the potential mechanism between lncRNAs and NSCLC is beneficial for the early diagnosis, target therpy and improve prognosis. Therefore, the study aims to demonstrate the latest studies on the lncRNAs related to occurence, diagnosis, therpy and prognosis of NSCLC. It can help to deeply understanding of lncRNA, and provide new ideas for the prevention of NSCLC.
