TKI-resistant T790M EGFR Mutation Rewired EGFR Translocation Routes through Switching Interactome in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) harboring active mutations, Del19 and L858R, are most common oncogenic mutations in in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The preferred treatment at first line is tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) administration while the TKI-resistance usually develops because of acquiring the secondary EGFR T790M mutant. Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) constitute the signaling scaffold and thus aberrant PPIs ascribed to mutations often results in dysregulations of downstream signaling cascades. Affinity purification coupled mass spectrometry (AP-MS) was utilized to characterize the EGFR PPIs in four NSCLC cells which carry different EGFR subtypes representing as TKI-sensitive and -resistant models in this study. The EGFR interactomes of TKI-resistant NSCLC cells presented higher diversity of subcellular distribution as well as the hyperactive EGFR trafficking. Furthermore, gefitinib perturbation activated autophagy-mediated EGFR degradation in TKI-resistant NSCLC models and inhibiting autophagy process indeed reduced the TKI-resistance against gefitinib as cytotoxicity was significantly improved. Alternatively, gefitinib induced EGFR translocation toward cell periphery through Rab7 ubiquitination in TKI-sensitive models which may confer TKIs more chance to suppress EGFR activity. In brief, acquired T790M EGFR mutation rewired the EGFR inherent interactomes and thus guided EGFR moving toward distinct trafficking routes, EGFR recycling or autophagy-mediated degradation, in response to TKI insult in TKI-sensitive and -resistant NSCLC cells. These finding suggest that manipulation or combined autophagy inhibition may provide us a novel therapeutic strategy to manage TKI-resistance and tumor relapse in NSCLC.
