TIP30 overcomes gefitinib resistance by regulating cytoplasmic and nuclear EGFR signaling in non-small cell lung cancer

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (e.g., gefitinib) exert potent therapeutic efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR-activating mutations. However, the resistance to EGFR-TKIs limits their clinical therapeutic efficacy. TIP30, which is a newly identified tumor suppressor, appears to be involved in the regulation of cytoplasmic and nuclear EGFR signaling in NSCLC. Our previous study demonstrated that TIP30 regulated EGF-dependent cyclin D1 transcription in human lung adenocarcinoma and suppressed tumorigenesis. In the present study, the involvement of TIP30 in combating gefitinib resistance in NSCLC was determined for the first time in vitro and in vivo. Gain and loss functional studies showed that overexpression of TIP30 effectively sensitized cells to gefitinib in vitro, whereas TIP30 inhibition promoted gefitinib cell resistance. Moreover, TIP30 negatively regulated the activation of the p-AKT and p-MEK signaling pathways in PC9/GR. Importantly, PC9/GR harbored high levels of nuclear EGFR, and overexpression of TIP30 restored irregular EGFR trafficking and degradation from early endosomes to the late endosomes, decreasing the nuclear accumulation of EGFR, which may partly or totally inhibit EGFR-mediated induction of c-Myc transcription. Xenographic tumors induced by overexpression of TIP30 by PC9/GR cells in nude mice were suppressed compared with their original counterparts. Overall, it was revealed that TIP30 overexpression restored gefitinib sensitivity in NSCLC cells and attenuated the cytoplasmic and nuclear EGFR signaling pathways, which may be a promising biomarker in gefitinib resistance in NSCLC.
