Abstract 3316
Background
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides that do not code for protein. Recently, the lncRNA-X was implicated in physiological and pathological processes such as proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. However, the roles of lncRNA-X in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung adenocarcinoma are poorly understood.
Methods
qRT-PCR was used to measure lncRNA-X expression in 5 lung cancer cell lines (A549, H1299, PC9, H4006, H1975). Non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells with knockout of lncRNA-X were generated with a CRISPR-Cas9 system and used to investigate the effect of lncRNA-X on gefitinib-induced cell death in an MTT assay. We studied 21 patients with recurrent postoperative EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma (exon 19 deletion in 11, L858R in 8, G719C in 2) treated with gefitinib during the period from January 2008 to January 2018. Relative quantification of lncRNA-X expression on real-time PCR analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded slides of surgical specimens was used to determine lncRNA-X expressions in tumors and adjacent normal tissues.
Results
lncRNA-X expression was greater in the cell lines harboring EGFR exon 19 deletions and L858R (PC-9, H4006, H1975) than in those without EGFR mutation (A549, H1299) (p < 0.001). H1299 cells with lncRNA-X knockout were more sensitive to gefitinib. lncRNA-X expressions were significantly greater in NSCLC tumors than in adjacent normal tissues (p < 0.01). Patients with high lncRNA-X expression in tumors had significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) after gefitinib therapy and overall survival than did those with low expression (median PFS: 304 vs 1125 days, p = 0.046; MST: 1271 vs 1876 days, p = 0.014).
Conclusions
lncRNA-X expression in EGFR-mutant adenocarcinoma is associated with shorter overall survival and shorter PFS after gefitinib therapy.
