Cisplatin resistance is one of the major obstacles in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. Intriguingly, elevated lactate levels were observed in cisplatin-resistant cells, which spurred further investigation into their underlying biological mechanisms.
Lactate levels were measured by lactate detection kit. Cisplatin-resistance NSCLC cells were established using progressive concentration of cisplatin. Cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8, EdU, and flow cytometry, respectively. Cell proliferation in vivo was determined by immunohistochemistry of Ki67 and apoptotic cells were calculated by the TUNEL. MeRIP-PCR was used to measure FOXO3 m6A levels. The interactions of genes were analyzed via RIP, ChIP, Dual-luciferase reporter, and RNA pull-down, respectively.
Elevated lactate levels were observed in both NSCLC patients and cisplatin-resistance cells. Lactate treatment increased cisplatin-resistance cell viability in vitro and promoted tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, lactate downregulated FOXO3 by YTHDF2-mediated m6A modification. FOXO3 transcriptionally reduced MAGI1-IT1 expression. FOXO3 overexpression inhibited the lactate-induced promotion of cisplatin resistance in NSCLC, which were reversed by MAGI1-IT1 overexpression. MAGI1-IT1 and IL6R competitively bound miR-664b-3p. FOXO3 overexpression or MAGI1-IT1 knockdown repressed lactate-mediated cisplatin resistance in vivo.
Lactate promoted NSCLC cisplatin resistance through regulating FOXO3/MAGI1-IT1/miR-664b-3p/IL6R axis in YTHDF2-mediated m6A modification.
顺铂耐药是非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)治疗的主要障碍之一。有趣的是,在顺铂耐药细胞中观察到升高的乳酸水平,这促使进一步研究其潜在的生物学机制。
通过乳酸检测试剂盒测量乳酸水平。使用顺铂的逐渐浓度建立顺铂耐药 NSCLC 细胞。通过 CCK-8、EdU 和流式细胞术分别检测细胞活力、增殖和凋亡。通过 Ki67 的免疫组化测定体内细胞增殖,通过 TUNEL 计算凋亡细胞。使用 MeRIP-PCR 测量 FOXO3 的 m6A 水平。通过 RIP、ChIP、双荧光素酶报告基因和 RNA 下拉分别分析基因的相互作用。
在 NSCLC 患者和顺铂耐药细胞中均观察到升高的乳酸水平。乳酸处理增加了体外顺铂耐药细胞的活力,并促进了体内肿瘤的生长。在机制上,乳酸通过 YTHDF2 介导的 m6A 修饰下调 FOXO3。FOXO3 转录下调 MAGI1-IT1 的表达。FOXO3 过表达抑制 NSCLC 中乳酸诱导的顺铂耐药,而 MAGI1-IT1 过表达则逆转了这一作用。MAGI1-IT1 和 IL6R 竞争性结合 miR-664b-3p。FOXO3 过表达或 MAGI1-IT1 敲低抑制体内乳酸介导的顺铂耐药。
乳酸通过 YTHDF2 介导的 m6A 修饰调节 FOXO3/MAGI1-IT1/miR-664b-3p/IL6R 轴促进 NSCLC 顺铂耐药。
