  • Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors and also the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI), such as gefitinib, have been used in the therapy of lung cancer. However, the acquisition of drug resistance is a major limitation in the clinical efficiency of EGFR-TKIs. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been demonstrated to be an underlying mechanism of acquired resistance. A previous study has reported that Napsin A expression can inhibit EMT in lung cancer cells. The present study therefore investigated the effect of Napsin A on the sensitivity of EGFR-TKI-resistant lung cancer cells. First, a drug-resistant lung cancer cell line was generated using the EGFR-TKI gefitinib on A549 cells (termed here A549-GFT). EMT was demonstrated to be induced in the drug resistant A549-GFT cells, evidenced by reduced E-cadherin expression and increased Vimentin expression compared with control A549 cells. Next, Napsin A was overexpressed in the cells by transfection of the Napsin A-expression vector, PLJM1-Napsin A. Western blot analysis confirmed that the protein expression levels of Napsin A were significantly elevated in the Napsin A-overexpressing cells. Cell proliferation and apoptosis assays were performed to evaluate the effect of Napsin A overexpression on resistant A549 cells. The results of MTT assay demonstrated that Napsin A overexpression inhibited the proliferation of A549 and drug-resistant A549-GFT cells and that the proliferation of Napsin A-overexpressing A549-GFT cells was significantly inhibited by gefitinib treatment compared with control A549-GFT cells. The results from the Annexin V/propidium iodide double staining apoptosis assay indicated that Napsin A overexpression enhanced gefitinib-induced apoptosis in A549-GFT cells. Additionally, EMT was reversed following Napsin A expression in A549-GFT cells, as evidenced by the restoration of E-cadherin and downregulation of Vimentin expression. Further investigation demonstrated that Napsin A overexpression resulted in inhibition of focal adhesion kinase, a critical factor in integrin signaling, in the resistant A549-GFT cells. These data suggested that Napsin A resensitized the drug-resistant A549-GFT cells to gefitinib, possibly by reversing EMT via integrin signaling inhibition. Therefore, Napsin A combined with a TKI may be a more effective treatment strategy for lung cancer.
