Knockdown of lncRNA HIF1A-AS2 increases drug sensitivity of SCLC cells in association with autophagy
AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine the effect of lncRNA HIF1A-AS2 on autophagy-associated drug resistance in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells. The expression of HIF1A-AS2 was silenced by siRNA in doxorubicin-sensitive H69 and doxorubicin-resistant H69AR cells. Then, cytotoxicity, apoptosis and autophagy analyses were carried out in the normoxic and CoCl2-induced hypoxic environment. The effect of HIF1A-AS2 on the expression levels of genes, which are associated with drug resistance and autophagy, was determinated by qRT-PCR analysis. The levels of MRP1, HIF-1 α and Beclin-1 were analyzed by western blot met...

Cancers, Vol. 13, Pages 1187: Molecular Signature of Small Cell Lung Cancer after Treatment Failure: The MCM Complex as Therapeutic Target
In this study, we identified a gene expression signature of SCLC after treatment failure using SCLC clinical specimens (GEO accession number: GSE162102). A total of 1,136 genes were significantly upregulated in SCLC tissues. These upregulated genes were subjected to KEGG pathway analysis, and “cell cycle”, “Fanconi anemia”, “alcoholism”, “systemic lupus erythematosus”, “oocyte meiosis”, “homologous recombination”, “DNA replication”, and “p53 signaling” were identified as the enriched pathways among the genes. We focused on the cell cycle pathway and investigated the clinical significance of ...

Downregulation of miR-3934-5p enhances A549 cell sensitivity to cisplatin by targeting TP53INP1.
Authors: Ren A, Wen Z, Zheng L Abstract Tumor protein p53-inducible nuclear protein 1 (TP53INP1) is a tumor suppressor associated with malignant tumor metastasis. In addition, it has been reported that hsa-microRNA (miR)-3934 serves key roles in various types of lung cancer, including small-cell lung carcinomas (SCLC) and non-SCLC (NSCLC). Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effects of miR-3934-5p on cell proliferation and apoptosis, and on sensitivity to cisplatin (DDP). Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis and western blotting were conducted for the analysis of mRN...

A new small cell lung cancer biomarker identified by Cell-SELEX generated aptamers.
Abstract Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has been a recalcitrant cancer without significant breakthroughs in clinical treatment during the past three decades. As there is a lack of effective protein inhibitor for SCLC targeted therapy, the discovery of new druggable SCLC biomarkers is a pressing work. Here we identified a new protein biomarker of SCLC, which is high density lipoprotein binding protein (HDLBP), through the aptamer generated by cell-SELEX against SCLC cells. Immunohistochemistry results showed an elevated HDLBP level in SCLC tissues from clinical samples. Attenuating HDLBP expression with siRNA inhibi...

Identification of DJ ‐1 as a contributor to multidrug resistance in human small‐cell lung cancer using proteomic analysis
Summary Proteomic approaches have been proven to provide an important tool in identifying drug resistance‐associated proteins. The aim of this study was to investigate the protein profiling of drug resistance‐related proteins in small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) by proteomic analysis. The proteomic profiling was performed by two‐dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D‐DIGE) coupled with MALDI‐TOF‐TOF of SCLC in the multidrug‐resistant cell line H69AR and its parental cell line H69. A total of 11 proteins were identified to be >2‐fold up‐or downregulated between the two cell lines. DJ�...

Expression of ADAM12 is regulated by E2F1 in small cell lung cancer.
Authors: Li Z, Wang Y, Kong L, Yue Z, Ma Y, Chen X Abstract Our previous study reported that ADAM12 was highly expressed in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and could be an effective marker for diagnosis and prognosis. Yet, the reason for the high expression of ADAM12 in SCLC requires further elucidation. Transcription factor E2F1 has been receiving increasing attention due to the complexity and diversity of its function in cancer. In the present study, the expression of ADAM12 was significantly decreased following silencing of E2F1 expression by siRNA, thus indicating that E2F1 may regulate the expression of ADAM12 a...

Insulinoma-Associated Protein 1 Is a Crucial Regulator of Neuroendocrine Differentiation in Lung Cancer.
Abstract Insulinoma-associated protein 1 (INSM1) is expressed exclusively in embryonic developing neuroendocrine (NE) tissues. INSM1 gene expression is specific for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), along with achaete-scute homolog-like 1 (ASCL1) and several NE molecules, such as chromogranin A, synaptophysin, and neural cell adhesion molecule 1. However, the underlying biological role of INSM1 in lung cancer remains largely unknown. We first showed that surgically resected SCLC samples specifically expressed INSM1. Forced expression of the INSM1 gene in adenocarcinoma cell lines (H358 and H1975) induced the expressi...

Abstract 4954: Serine/arginine splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) mediates DNA repair and chemo-sensitivity and drives growth in small cell lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most aggressive subtype of lung cancer. Despite a high response rate to chemotherapy, more than 95% of patients eventually die from SCLC. We have identified that Serine/Arginine Splicing Factor 1 (SRSF1) DNA copy number gain and mRNA over-expression in tumor is strongly associated with poor survival based on whole exome sequencing (WES) and transcriptomic sequencing of primary tumors from 99 Chinese SCLC patients. Here, SRSF1 is evaluated as a tumor driver in SCLC. Treatment of SCLC cell lines in vitro with a low dose of cisplatin or topotecan (two of the most common standard of care in...

Abstract 3841: Effects of KEAP1 genetic and epigenetic silencing in SCLC cell lines
Conclusions. Our data provide new insights into the potential downstream effects of genetic and epigenetic Keap1/Nrf2 molecular deregulation in SCLCs, suggesting that the impairment of Keap1 activity actually induces the expression of cytoprotective enzymes also in small cell lung cancer cells. Validations on tissues from SCLC affected patients combined with in vitro pharmacological studies are demanded to establish new combined therapeutic strategies in targeted cancer treat-ments of this aggressive lung tumour histotype.Citation Format: Domenico Trombetta, Annamaria la Torre, Angelo Sparaneo, Teresa Balsamo, Massimiliano...

MTA1 downregulation inhibits malignant potential in a small cell lung cancer cell line.
Authors: Xue H, Wang H, Liu J, Liu H, Li C, Han L, Lin C, Zhan Q, Zhao Z, Qian H Abstract As a component of the nuclear remodeling and deacetylation complex (NuRD complex), metastasis-associated gene 1 (MTA1) has been reported to play a key role in cancer malignancy. However, whether MTA1 functions in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) malignant behavior and whether it is feasible to be used as a therapeutic target have not been evaluated. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of MTA1 downregulation on SCLC malignancy. First we demonstrated the overexpression of MTA1 in SCLC specimens. After knocking down ...

Role of SPHK1 Regulates Multi-drug Resistance of Small Cell Lung Cancer
and Its Clinical Significance
Background and objective Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Approximately 15% of all histological types consist of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Chemotherapy is one of the major treatment method. Though the current first-line standard chemotherapy regimen for SCLC is active in most SCLC cases, however the disease recurs shortly after the first successful treatment with multi-drug resistance (MDR) phenotype. Our previously study showed that SPHK1 was associated with MDR in SCLC. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) showed in small cell lung multi...

Differential regulation of MMPs by E2F1, Sp1 and NF-kappa B controls the small cell lung cancer invasive phenotype
Conclusions: E2F1 acts as a transcriptional activator for MMPs and directly enhances MMP transcription by binding to E2F1 binding sequences in the promoter, or indirectly activates MMPs through enhanced Sp1 and NF-kappa B as a consequence of E2F1 activation in SCLC.
