Comprehensive analysis of circular RNA profiling in AZD9291-resistant non-small cell lung cancer cell lines.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osimertinib (AZD9291), a third-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, can effectively prolong survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR mutations, particularly T790M mutations; however, acquired resistance to AZD9291 is inevitable, thus exploration of the targets of resistance is urgent.

Methods

Considering the important role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in cancers, we established AZD9291-resistant NSCLC cell lines (H1975/AZDR and HCC827/AZDR) and used microarray analysis to determine the circRNA expression profiles of the cells. The H1975/AZDR and HCC827/AZDR cell lines were induced by gradually increasing the drug concentration. CircRNA microarray expression profiles were obtained from H1975, HCC827, H1975/AZDR, and HCC827/AZDR cells a
