Lung cancer is still a main cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the majority of lung cancers, and gefitinib is an effective targeted drug for NSCLC. It is important to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms of gefitinib resistance to provide new treatment strategies and to improve the prognosis of gefitinib-resistant NSCLC patients. This study aimed to examine the role of filamin A (FLNA) in acquired resistance to gefitinib in NSCLC, and identify ANXA2 (annexin A2), one of calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins, as its corresponding regulatory factor. First, we established resistant cells via long-term exposure to gefitinib to analyse the association between FLNA and gefitinib resistance. Through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), western blotting (WB), and flow cytometry assays, we evaluated the role of FLNA. The effect of FLNA knockdown or overexpression was analysed not only in cell lines but also in mouse models. We verified the FLNA-interacting protein through coimmunoprecipitation (CoIP) experiments and found that the downstream signalling pathway was regulated by FLNA and its interacting protein. Finally, the upstream transcription factor was identified by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Increased FLNA expression induced gefitinib resistance. Knockdown of FLNA restored gefitinib sensitivity and induced apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. FLNA and ANXA2 cooperatively led to the activation of the Wnt pathway, which was closely linked to gefitinib resistance. Subsequently, SP1 promoted transcriptional activation of FLNA to regulate gefitinib resistance. We determined that FLNA serves as a regulator of gefitinib resistance in NSCLC and found that FLNA and ANXA2 together induced gefitinib resistance by activating the Wnt pathway.
