Elevated Glutathione Peroxidase 2 Expression Promotes Cisplatin Resistance in Lung Adenocarcinoma.


ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to explore the roles of GPX2, a member of the glutathione peroxidase family (GPXs, GSH-Px), in cisplatin (DDP) resistance in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). GPX2 was found to be the most significantly upregulated gene in a DDP-resistant A549/DDP cell line compared with the parental A549 cell line by RNA sequencing. The knockdown of GPX2 expression in A549/DDP cells inhibited cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo, decreased the IC50 values of DDP, induced apoptosis, inhibited the activities of GSH-Px and superoxide dismutase (SOD), inhibited ATP production and glucose uptake, and increased malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production; while GPX2 overexpression in A549 cells resulted in the opposite effects. Using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), we found that GPX2 may be involved in DDP resistance through mediating drug metabolism, the cell cycle, DNA repair and energy metabolism, and the regulation of an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters member ABCB6, which is one of the hallmark genes in glycolysis. Moreover, immunohistochemistry revealed that GPX2 was upregulated in 58.6% (89/152) of LUAD cases, and elevated GPX2 expression was correlated with high expression of ABCB6, high 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake, and adverse disease-free survival (DFS) in our cohort. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data also indicated that GPX2 expression was higher in LUAD than it was in normal lung tissues, and the mRNA expression levels of GPX2 and ABCB6 were positively correlated. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that GPX2 acts as oncogene in LUAD and promotes DDP resistance by regulating oxidative stress and energy metabolism.
