Abstract 411P
Background
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a type of mesenchymal tumor and has KIT mutations in 80–90% of the cases. The development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors have greatly improved patient outcomes. We have previously described association between lower pfetin (KCTD12) expression and poor prognosis in the GIST patients (Ref 1. Suenara Y et al. Clin Cancer Res2008). In this study, to investigate the protein profiles of kit expression, we performed comprehensive protein expression analysis using the gastric tumor cell lines and surgical specimens in GIST.
Methods
We performed KITgene knockdown using siRNA inthe GIST cell line (T1 cell line) and generated the protein expression profiling data by i-TRAQ. Based on this i-TRAQ protein profiling data from the T1 cell line, we referenced our previously published protein expression analysis databases associated with GIST prognosis in the patient samples (Ref 1.) and compared the protein profile of KIT-associated proteins (T1 cell line) and prognosis-associated protein (patient samples).
Results
In our study, the i-TRAQ profiling method detected expression of approximately 1500–2000 proteins. In KITknockdown cells, 125 proteins were identified to have statistically different expression (p < 0.05). Based on our previously published GIST prognosis protein profile database (using 17 patient tissue samples), 25 proteins were identified to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). Upon comparing the prognosis database with theKIT knockdown database, 6 proteins were identified as common proteins.In particular, the heat shock protein (HSP) 90-beta, which has been previously shown to contribute to the growth of cancer cells, was identified as a critical protein in the biological behavior of GIST.
Conclusions
HSP 90-beta is currently considered as a therapeutic target for HSP 90 inhibitors against imatinib-resistant GIST. Our data suggests that the differentiation and cell growth of GIST may be enhanced by the identified proteins, which are in turn induced by KIT. We believe that our established protein profile data will help in improving the understanding of malignant behaviors in GIST.
Clinical trial identification
HSP 90-betaplay an important role in the tumor progression of GISTs.
