中文摘要
对于表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)突变型非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者,若上皮-间质转化(EMT)介导的EGFR酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(TKI)耐药,需要有效治疗策略。本研究调查可通过抗体疗法或过继细胞疗法靶向的细胞表面蛋白,并鉴定出CD70在EMT相关耐药中显著上调。此外,CD70上调是耐药演化的早期事件,也发生于药物耐受持留细胞(DTPC)。CD70促进细胞存活和侵袭;刺激CD70会触发已知在获得性TKI耐药时重新激活的信号转导通路。抗CD70抗体药物偶联物(ADC)、靶向CD70的嵌合抗原受体(CAR)T细胞和CAR NK细胞,对EGFR TKI耐药细胞及DTPC均显示强效活性。这些结果鉴定CD70为获得性EGFR TKI耐药的EGFR突变型肿瘤治疗靶点,值得开展临床研究。

Effective therapeutic strategies are needed for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations that acquire resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) mediated by epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We investigate cell surface proteins that could be targeted by antibody-based or adoptive cell therapy approaches and identify CD70 as being highly upregulated in EMT-associated resistance. Moreover, CD70 upregulation is an early event in the evolution of resistance and occurs in drug-tolerant persister cells (DTPCs). CD70 promotes cell survival and invasiveness, and stimulation of CD70 triggers signal transduction pathways known to be re-activated with acquired TKI resistance. Anti-CD70 antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) and CD70-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell and CAR NK cells show potent activity against EGFR TKI-resistant cells and DTPCs. These results identify CD70 as a therapeutic target for EGFR mutant tumors with acquired EGFR TKI resistance that merits clinical investigation.
