[Identification of Candidate Biomarkers for EGFR-T790M Drug-resistant ?Gene Mutation in Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma].

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osimertinib is approved by Food and Drug Administration for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer carrying EGFR-T790M mutations. Osimertinib therapy was missed in many patients who were unable to perform biopsy due to occult lesion progression or weak body. In this study. We hope that some proteins associated with predicting EGFR-T790M resistance could be screened from the serum to provide help for clinical medication. The aim of this study is to explore the protein associated with EGFR-T790M drug resistance gene and provide help for clinical medication.

Methods

In this study, 36 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma treated by gefitinib were included. After the disease progression of the patients, biopsy was performed. 18 patients in the EGFR-T790M mutation group and 18 patients in the non-EGFR-T790M mutation group were detected by the ARMS method. Serum of patients with drug resistance was collected, and proteins related to EGFR-T790M resistance were screened by isotopic marker relative and absolute quantitative marker combined with two-dimensional liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry proteomics technology.

Results

Seventeen different proteins were screened out, including 6 up-regulated proteins and 11 down-regulated proteins associated with EGFR-T790M gene mutation, which were mainly involved in 31 biological processes, 7 cell components and 26 molecular functions. Twelve enrichment pathways were identified, among which the highest enrichment index was the coagulation cascade pathway.

Conclusions

Seventeen proteins associated with EGFR-T790M resistance were found, and proteins involved in the coagulation cascade pathway are expected to be biomarkers associated with predicting EGFR-T790M resistance mutations.
