MiR-146b-5p Enhances the Sensitivity of NSCLC to EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors by Regulating the IRAK1/NF-?B Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Although patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) show good clinical response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), patients eventually develop acquired resistance. Previous studies have shown that several microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in EGFR TKI resistance. Here, we aimed to investigate whether miR-146b-5p sensitizes the EGFR TKI-resistant lung cancer cells. Clinical analysis showed that miR-146b-5p expression in lung cancer cells isolated from pleural effusions of treatment-naive patients was significantly higher than that after acquiring resistance to EGFR TKI treatment. Ectopic expression of miR-146b-5p in EGFR TKI-resistant cells enhanced EGFR TKI-induced apoptosis. The same results were observed in EGFR-dependent and -independent osimertinib-resistant primary cancer cells (PE3479 and PE2988). Mechanically, miR-146b-5p suppressed nuclear factor ?B (NF-?B) activity and NF-?B-related IL-6 and IL-8 production by targeting IRAK1. A negative correlation was observed between miR-146b-5p and IRAK1 in clinical specimens. In rescue experiments, restoration of IRAK1 expression reversed the effects of miR-146b-5p on EGFR TKI sensitivity and recovered NF-?B-regulated IL-6 and IL-8 production. In conclusion, miR-146b-5p/IRAK1/NF-?B signaling is important in promoting EGFR TKI resistance, and miR-146b-5p may be a useful tool for overcoming EGFR TKI resistance.

Project description:BackgroundBone marrow cells (BMCs), especially mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have shown attractive application prospects in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the weak efficacy becomes their main limitation in clinical translation. Based on the anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis effects of a Chinese medicine-Tongxinluo (TXL), we aimed to explore the effects of TXL-pretreated MSCs (MSCsTXL) in enhancing cardiac repair and further investigated the underlying mechanism.MethodsMSCsTXL or MSCs and the derived exosomes (MSCsTXL-exo or MSCs-exo) were collected and injected into the infarct zone of rat hearts. In vivo, the anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammation effects, and cardiac functional and histological recovery were evaluated. In vitro, the apoptosis was evaluated by western blotting and flow cytometry. miRNA sequencing was utilized to identify the significant differentially expressed miRNAs between MSCsTXL-exo and MSCs-exo, and the miRNA mimics and inhibitors were applied to explore the specific mechanism.ResultsCompared to MSCs, MSCsTXL enhanced cardiac repair with reduced cardiomyocytes apoptosis and inflammation at the early stage of AMI and significantly improved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with reduced infarct size in an exosome-dependent way. Similarly, MSCsTXL-exo exerted superior therapeutic effects in anti-apoptosis and anti-inflammation, as well as improving LVEF and reducing infarct size compared to MSCs-exo. Further exosomal miRNA analysis demonstrated that miR-146a-5p was the candidate effector of the superior effects of MSCsTXL-exo. Besides, miR-146a-5p targeted and decreased IRAK1, which inhibited the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 thus protecting H9C2 cells from hypoxia injury.ConclusionsThis study suggested that MSCsTXL markedly facilitated cardiac repair via a new mechanism of the exosomal transfer of miR-146a-5p targeting IRAK1/NF-κB p65 pathway, which has great potential for clinical translation.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate the efficacy of immunotherapy, as monotherapy or in combination, comparing to chemotherapy with or without anti-angiogenesis for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients progressing to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations who received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and/or chemotherapy after EGFR-TKIs failure at Shanghai Chest Hospital between Aug 2016 and Oct 2022. According to the subsequent immunotherapy regimen, the patients were assigned to ICI monotherapy (IM), IO plus anti-angiogenesis (IA), ICI plus chemotherapy (IC), ICI plus chemotherapy plus anti-angiogenesis (ICA). Eligible patients undergoing standard chemotherapy were assigned to chemotherapy plus anti-angiogenesis (CA) and chemotherapy alone (CM). Efficacy was evaluated according to the RECIST 1.1version, and calculated the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was calculated. Differences among survival curves of the six groups were assessed using the log-rank test.ResultsA total of 237 advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations were included in this study. Of the 160 patients who received immunotherapy, 57 received ICI monotherapy, 27 received ICI plus anti-angiogenesis therapy, 43 received ICI plus chemotherapy, and 33 received ICI plus anti-angiogenesis plus chemotherapy. 77 patients received standard chemotherapy, of which 30 received chemotherapy plus anti-angiogenesis and 47 received chemotherapy alone. Patients in ICA group showed significant longer PFS than IM (7.2 vs 1.9 months, P=0.011), IA (7.2 vs 4.8 months, P=0.009) and CM group (7.2 vs 4.4 months, P=0.005). There was no significant difference in PFS between the ICA and IC (7.2 vs 5.6 months, P=0.104) or CA (7.2 vs 6.7 months, P=0.959) group. Meanwhile, the ICA group showed the highest ORR and DCR (36.4% and 90.9%) compared to the other five groups. The IC group had a higher ORR than the IA and CA group (32.6% vs 7.4% vs 10.0%, respectively), but the DCR was comparable (79.1% vs 74.1% vs 76.7%, respectively). The ORR of the CM group was 6.4% and the DCR was 66.0%. IM group showed the lowest ORR and DCR (1.8% and 36.8%). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of grade 3 or worse occurred in 9 (27.3%) patients in the ICA group, 6 (20.0%) in the CA group, 7 (14.9%) in the CM group, 5 (11.6%) in the IC group, 5 (8.8%) in the IM group, and 2 (7.4%) in the IA group.ConclusionNSCLC patients with positive EGFR mutations after EGFR-TKIs failure received subsequent immunotherapy plus anti-angiogenesis and chemotherapy are likely to have more benefits in ORR, DCR and mPFS.
