Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Dysregulated ARID1A expression is frequently detected in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and mediates significant changes in cancer behaviors and a poor prognosis. ARID1A deficiency in LUAD enhances proliferation and metastasis, which could be induced by activation of the Akt signaling pathway. However, no further exploration of the mechanisms has been performed.
Methods
Lentivirus was used for the establishment of the ARID1A knockdown (ARID1A-KD) cell line. MTS and migration/invasion assays were used to examine changes in cell behaviors. RNA-seq and proteomics methods were applied. ARID1A expression in tissue samples was determined by IHC. R software was used to construct a nomogram.
Results
ARID1A KD significantly promoted the cell cycle and accelerated cell division. In addition, ARID1A KD increased the phosphorylation level of a series of oncogenic proteins, such as EGFR, ErbB2 and RAF1, activated the corresponding pathways and resulted in disease progression. In addition, the bypass activation of the ErbB pathway, the activation of the VEGF pathway and the expression level changes in epithelial–mesenchymal transformation biomarkers induced by ARID1A KD contributed to the insensitivity to EGFR-TKIs. The relationship between ARID1A and the sensitivity to EGFR-TKIs was also determined using tissue samples from LUAD patients.
Conclusion
Loss of ARID1A expression influences the cell cycle, accelerates cell division, and promotes metastasis. EGFR-mutant LUAD patients with low ARID1A expression had poor overall survival. In addition, low ARID1A expression was associated with a poor prognosis in EGFR-mutant LUAD patients who received first-generation EGFR-TKI treatment.
