چکیده
BACKGROUND Nowadays the secondary resistance of gefitinib in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma is an outstanding problem. This research is to explore whether the gefitinib secondary resistance can be induced by gefitinib, to explore whether epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) promotor methylation correlate with the gefitinib-resistance in PC9/GR cell lines and to find a new therapeutic target to overcome the gefitinib secondary resistance in lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS In vitro cultivation of lung adenocarcinoma PC9 cell lines, apply gefitinib on lung adenocarcinoma PC9 cell lines, and improve drug concentration. MTT for test of gefitinib resistance index in PC9 cell and PC9/GR cell. Bisulfite sequencing polymerase chain reaction (BSP) and Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for detection of EGFR promoter methylation status and mRNA expression. In vitro cultivation of lung adenocarcinoma PC9 cell lines, apply 1 μmol/L 5-Aza-dc on lung adenocarcinoma PC9/GR cell lines for 72 h. MTT method for test of gefitinib resistance index in PC9/GR cell. RESULTS After improving the gefitinib concentration, MTT results showed that half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of PC9 cell lines increase from (0.01 ± 0.002) μmol/L to (3.95 ± 0.23) μmol/L (P<0.05). BSP results showed that abnormal methylation sites compared the degree of methylation change: PC9: 59%; PC9/GR: 74% (P<0.05). RT-PCR results showed in PC9/GR cell lines, EGFR mRNA expression quantity increased (P<0.05). After applying 5-Aza-dc on PC9 cell lines, IC50 of PC9/GR decrease from (3.87 ± 0.034) μmol/L to (2.55 ± 0.14) μmol/L. CONCLUSIONS The PC9 cell line which is induced by improving gefitinib concentration will be resistant to gefitinib, and the gefitinib-resistant cell line PC9/GR could be built. EGFR gene promoter methylation may be one of the mechanisms for the secondary resistance to gefitinib.

Blockade of DNA methylation enhances the therapeutic effect of gefitinib in non-small cell lung cancer cells.
The sensitivity of lung cancer to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has been found to be associated with mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of EGFR. However, not all mutations are sensitive to gefitinib. While CpG island methylation in the promoter region of the EGFR gene and transcriptional silencing are common in solid tumors, the role of the EGFR ...

BACKGROUND Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are present in the majority of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) responsive to the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) gefitinib or erlotinib. These EGFR-dependent tumors eventually become TKI resistant, and the common secondary T790M mutation accounts for half the tumors with acquired resistance to gefitinib. Howeve...
متن کاملStudy of the methylation patterns of the EGFR gene promoter in non-small cell lung cancer.
We investigated the methylation state of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene promoter in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and analyzed its effect on tumor biology. We enrolled 120 patients with NSCLC who had been confirmed by pathologic diagnosis and had been operated on. The methylation states of the EGFR gene promoter were detected and analyzed and a prognosis was given. NSCLC ...

Objective(s): Our previous study showed that a newly designed tracer radioiodinated 6-(3-morpholinopropoxy)-7-ethoxy-4-(3'-iodophenoxy)quinazoline ([125I]PYK) is promising for the evaluation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status and prediction of gefitinib treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. EGFR is over-expressed and mutated also in glioblastoma. In the present study, the ...

E-cadherin is among tumor suppressor genes which mostly subjects to the down-regulation in squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus (SCCE). The gene is tightly associated with the tumor invasion and metastasis in multiple human cancers, especially SCCE. CpG islands’ methylation in the promoter region of E-cadherin is among the mechanisms that have been suggested for the E-cadherin silencing, howeve...
