Description

Application of long-chain non-coding RNA RP11-499F3.2 in reversing drug-resistant treatment of tumor cetuximab
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of tumor diagnosis and molecular targeted therapy, and particularly relates to application of long-chain non-coding RNA RP11-499F3.2 in clinical detection of head and neck cancer and reversal of drug-resistant therapy of tumor cetuximab.
Background
Head and neck cancer is the seventh ranked malignant tumor type of neoplastic disease, accounting for approximately 7% of the overall human body's systemic malignant tumor disease, with more than 90% of Head and neck cancers belonging to the Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinosoma (HNSCC). More than 50 ten thousand patients are diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma every year, the number of new cases in China accounts for about 1/5 of the new cases, and the number of death cases is about 5.6 ten thousand cases every year. Generally speaking, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is classified into oral cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer and the like. Meanwhile, since about one-fourth of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are associated with papillomavirus (HPV) infection in vivo (especially oropharyngeal carcinoma patients), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma can also be classified as HPV-negative and positive tumors. Poor lifestyle habits such as smoking and drinking are generally considered to be the cause of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Meanwhile, due to the poor diagnosis consciousness of patients, the prevalence of distant metastasis or recurrence (R/M) in patients, and the like, the clinical early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma diseases are still greatly limited, and the average life cycle of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients is only 5 years.
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is the focus of the current research on the mechanism of tumor diseases, and is defined as RNA molecules with nucleotide (nt) length greater than 200 and lacking complete Open Reading Frame (ORF) in non-coding RNA molecules. lncRNA has higher tissue and cell specificity, and a large number of lncRNA is reported to have differential expression profiles in tumor diseases, is considered as a potential proto-oncogene and a tumor suppressor gene, and is expected to be an ideal target for clinical diagnosis, staging and treatment. At present, lncRNA is generally accepted to participate in the development of tumor diseases, but the specific molecular mechanism of lncRNA still needs to be studied in a large amount as an experimental basis. Therefore, the functional mechanism of relevant lncRNA is researched by analyzing the lncRNA differential expression profile of the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and a basis is hopefully provided for finding the biomarkers of the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
The traditional modes of surgical excision, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and the like are common clinical treatment methods for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, but because the positions of head and neck organs are special, the treatment is easy to cause functional damage to the organs of the patients and influence the life quality. Meanwhile, the traditional treatment effect is often unsatisfactory for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients diagnosed as late stage or having distant metastasis and local recurrence symptoms. With the development of molecular pathology research on malignant tumor diseases, the treatment effects of various tumor types are proved to be related to signal channel regulation and target gene mutation, and the targeted treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma opens a new clinical treatment idea.
Transmembrane glycoprotein Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) can regulate and control life activities such as tumor cell proliferation, invasion, drug resistance generation and the like by activating downstream channels (such as PI3K, ERK-1/2 and the like), is an important target molecule in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and 90% of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma overexpress the EGFR. Cetuximab (Cetuximab, trade name Erbitux) became the first FDA-approved targeted therapeutic drug for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma on 7/11/2011, and it was reported that only 10% -20% of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients achieved complete remission in long-term Cetuximab treatment. However, the drug resistance generation mechanism is still unclear at present, and the invention hopefully provides reference for clinical treatment by researching the action mechanism of lncRNA related to drug resistance of cetuximab of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.

(2) When the average volume of tumor tissues reaches 150 mm3, randomly dividing BALB/c nude mice into four groups, wherein each group comprises 5 mice, and the groups are respectively a G1 negative control group (0.2 ml/20G), a G2 cetuximab group (20 mg.kg-1), a G3 LNA group (5 mg.kg-1), a G4 cetuximab + LNA group (cetuximab: 20 mg.kg-1 LNA;

The results are shown in figure 25, the heart, liver, spleen and kidney organs of each group have no obvious pathological symptoms, and the G3 cetuximab administration group has lung infiltration, which shows that the group has tumor metastasis phenomenon, namely, the lung metastasis to a certain degree occurs in the process of establishing the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cetuximab drug-resistant PDX transplantation tumor model.
Example 24
The target interference of lnc RP11-499F3.2 on the proliferation capacity of colon cancer parents and drug-resistant cells HT29 (CTX-R), esophageal squamous carcinoma cells TE13 (CTX-R) and non-small cell lung cancer A549 (CTX-R).
The method for establishing HT-29, TE13 and A549 drug-resistant cell strains by adopting a cetuximab concentration gradient is shown in an example 13, and the MTT method is used for detecting the influence of lnc RP11-499F3.2 locked nucleotide on the proliferation capacity of HT29, TE13 and A549 sensitive and drug-resistant cells respectively is shown in an example 9.
The results are shown in Table 4, compared with the control group, the lonc RP11-499F3.2 locked nucleotide designed by the invention can obviously reduce the proliferation capacity of HT-29, TE13 and A549 tolerant cells under the action of single nucleotide and has extremely obvious reduction after combining cetuximab, which shows that the targeted specificity reduces the expression of the lonc RP11-499F3.2, and can enable the cetuximab-resistant colon cancer, the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and the non-small cell lung cancer to be desensitized.
