Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a common form of lung cancer. Although cisplatin chemotherapy is an effective treatment option, some patients with LUAD can develop drug resistance. Modulated ADH1C expression has been reported in various cancer types. However, the mechanism by which ADH1C potentially influences progression and cisplatin resistance of LUAD remains poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of ADH1C with respect to cisplatin resistance and to uncover the clinical significance of methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT1A). Compared with cisplatin-sensitive A549 cells, ADH1C was highly enriched in cisplatin-resistant A549/cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum II (DDP) cells. Inhibition of ADH1C expression in the latter suppressed cell proliferation and decreased their resistance to cisplatin. Furthermore, the proliferative capacity under cisplatin stimulation was reduced. Downregulation of ADH1C expression inhibited the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and excision repair cross-complementing 1 (ERCC1). Knockdown of ADH1C resulted in arrested cell cycle (in G2/M phase). The proliferative capacity and cisplatin sensitivity induced by ADH1C upregulation in A549 cells were reversed upon knockdown of ADH1C. Bioinformatic analyses revealed ADH1C to be mainly enriched in cell cycle, RNA transport, biosynthesis of amino acids, and platinum drug resistance pathways. Meanwhile, the gene MAT1A with considerable positive association with ADH1C was identified. Furthermore, expression of MAT1A was upregulated in LUAD tissues relative to the paired adjacent normal specimens. Human Protein Atlas, The university of alabama at birmingham cancer data analysis portal (UALCAN), and Kaplan-Meier Plotter analysis indicated that upregulated MAT1A expression is correlated with poor prognosis of LUAD. Our results indicate that the ADH1C/MAT1A axis possibly increases cisplatin resistance in LUAD cells. The experiment was repeated three times and approved by the Medical Ethical Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (approval No.YS2018001).
