| Abstract | Background Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadly tumors around the world. Targeted therapy for patients with certain mutations, especially by use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), has provided significant benefit to patients. However, gradually developed resistance to the therapy becomes a major challenge in clinical practice and an alternative to treat such patients is needed. Herein, we report that apatinib, a novel anti-angiogenic drug, effectively inhibits obtained gefitinib-resistant cancer cells but has no much effect on their parental sensitive cells. Methods Gefitinib-resistant lung cancer cell line (PC9GR) was established from its parental sensitive line (PC9) with a traditional EGFR mutation after long time exposure to gefitinib. Different concentrations of apatinib were used to treat PC9, PC9GR, and other two lung cancer cell lines for its anti-growth effects. RNA sequencing was performed on PC9, PC9GR, and both after apatinib treatment to detect differentially expressed genes and involved pathways. Protein expression of key cycle regulators p57, p27, CDK2, cyclin E2, and pRb was detected using Western blot. Xenograft mouse model was used to assess the anti-tumor activity of apatinib in vivo. Results The established PC9GR cells had over 250-fold increased resistance to gefitinib than its sensitive parental PC9 cells (IC50 5.311 ± 0.455 μM vs. 0.020 ± 0.003 μM). The PC9GR resistance cells obtained the well-known T790M mutation. Apatinib demonstrated much stronger ( ~ fivefold) growth inhibition on PC9GR cells than on PC9 and other two lung cancer cell lines, A549 and H460. This inhibition was mostly achieved through cell cycle arrest of PC9GR cells in G1 phase. RNA-seq revealed multiple changed pathways in PC9GR cells compared to the PC9 cells and after apatinib treatment the most changed pathways were cell cycle and DNA replication where most of gene activities were repressed. Consistently, protein expression of p57, CDK2, cyclin E2, and pRb was significantly impacted by apatinib in PC9GR cells. Oral intake of apatinib in mouse model significantly inhibited establishment and growth of PC9GR implanted tumors compared to PC9 established tumors. VEGFR2 phosphorylation in PC9GR tumors after apatinib treatment was significantly reduced along with micro-vessel formation. Conclusions Apatinib demonstrated strong anti-proliferation and anti-growth effects on gefitinib resistant lung cancer cells but not its parental sensitive cells. The anti-tumor effect was mostly due to apatinib induced cell cycle arrest and VEGFR signaling pathway inhibition. These data suggested that apatinib may provide a benefit to patients with acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI treatment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
