摘要

表皮生长因子受体 1(EGFR)在各种恶性肿瘤的发展过程中起着至关重要的作用,被认为是治疗三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)的潜在靶点。然而,用于表皮生长因子受体靶向治疗的代表性酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKIs)对 TNBC 患者的疗效有限。在我们的研究中,我们观察到 TNBC 细胞系 MDA-MB-231 和 MDA-MB-468 对吉非替尼表现出耐药性。吉非替尼治疗会导致这些细胞株中的Fascin-1(FSCN1)蛋白表达上调和miR-221-3p下调。然而,抑制FSCN1的表达或过表达miR-221-3p可显著提高这两种细胞系对吉非替尼的敏感性。我们的荧光素酶报告实验证实,FSCN1是miR-221-3p的靶点。此外,吉非替尼治疗会导致MDA-MB-231细胞中磷酸化信号转导和转录激活因子3(p-STAT3)的上调。使用 STAT3 小分子抑制剂 Stattic,我们观察到吉非替尼对 MDA-MB-231 细胞生长、迁移和侵袭的抑制作用显著增强。此外,Stattic还能上调miR-221-3p的表达,下调FSCN1 mRNA和蛋白的表达。在乳腺癌组织中,STAT3 和 FSCN1 的表达呈强正相关。此外,STAT3和FSCN1均高表达的患者预后较差。我们的研究结果表明,FSCN1的高表达与TNBC患者对表皮生长因子受体TKIs的原发性耐药有关。此外,我们还提出,STAT3调节miR-221-3p/FSCN1的表达,从而调节TNBC对EGFR TKI治疗的耐药性。将表皮生长因子受体 TKI 疗法与 FSCN1 或 STAT3 抑制疗法相结合,可能会为 TNBC 提供一种前景广阔的新疗法。

Relevance and mechanism of STAT3/miR-221-3p/Fascin-1 axis in EGFR TKI resistance of triple-negative breast cancer.

The epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (EGFR) plays a crucial role in the progression of various malignant tumors and is considered a potential target for treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the effectiveness of representative tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used in EGFR-targeted therapy is limited in TNBC patients. In our study, we observed that the TNBC cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 exhibited resistance to Gefitinib. Treatment with Gefitinib caused an upregulation of Fascin-1 (FSCN1) protein expression and a downregulation of miR-221-3p in these cell lines. However, sensitivity to Gefitinib was significantly improved in both cell lines with either inhibition of FSCN1 expression or overexpression of miR-221-3p. Our luciferase reporter assay confirmed that FSCN1 is a target of miR-221-3p. Moreover, Gefitinib treatment resulted in an upregulation of phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) in MDA-MB-231 cells. Using Stattic, a small-molecule inhibitor of STAT3, we observed a significant enhancement in the inhibitory effect of Gefitinib on the growth, migration, and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells. Additionally, Stattic treatment upregulated miR-221-3p expression and downregulated FSCN1 mRNA and protein expression. A strong positive correlation was noted between the expression of STAT3 and FSCN1 in breast cancer tissues. Furthermore, patients with high expression levels of both STAT3 and FSCN1 had a worse prognosis. Our findings suggest that elevated FSCN1 expression is linked to primary resistance to EGFR TKIs in TNBC. Moreover, we propose that STAT3 regulates the expression of miR-221-3p/FSCN1 and therefore modulates resistance to EGFR TKI therapy in TNBC. Combining EGFR TKI therapy with inhibition of FSCN1 or STAT3 may offer a promising new therapeutic option for TNBC.
