Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common lung cancer subtype and accounts for more than 80% of all lung cancer cases. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) phosphorylation by binding growth factors such as EGF activates downstream prooncogenic signaling pathways including KRAS-ERK, JAK-STAT, and PI3K-AKT. These pathways promote the tumor progression of NSCLC by inducing uncontrolled cell cycle, proliferation, migration, and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. New cytotoxic drugs have facilitated considerable progress in NSCLC treatment, but side effects are still a significant cause of mortality. Gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid; GA) is a phenolic natural compound, isolated from plant derivatives, that has been reported to show anticancer effects. We demonstrated the tumor-suppressive effect of GA, which induced the decrease of PD-L1 expression through binding to EGFR in NSCLC. This binding inhibited the phosphorylation of EGFR, subsequently inducing the inhibition of PI3K and AKT phosphorylation, which triggered the activation of p53. The p53-dependent upregulation of miR-34a induced PD-L1 downregulation. Further, we revealed the combination effect of GA and anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody in an NSCLC-cell and peripheral blood mononuclear–cell coculture system. We propose a novel therapeutic application of GA for immunotherapy and chemotherapy in NSCLC.

PURPOSE To review several recently described molecular abnormalities in lung cancer and discuss their potential diagnostic and therapeutic relevance. DESIGN Articles were identified through a Medline search (1966 to 1997) and studies, including reviews, were cited in the references. RESULTS Molecular mechanisms altered in lung cancer include induced expression of oncogenes, such as RAS, MYC, c-erbB-2, and BCL-2, and loss of tumor-suppressor genes, such as RB, p53, and p16INK4A. RAS is a 21-kd G protein and up to 30% of adenocarcinomas show mutations in K-RAS oncogene. MYC encodes a transcriptional activator and amplification may adversely affect survival in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). The growth factor receptor c-erbB-2 is overexpressed in up to 25% of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases. BCL-2, a negative regulator of apoptosis, is expressed differently in some NSCLCs. Abnormalities of RB, a key regulator of cell cycle, are detected in greater than 90% of SCLCs. There is an inverse relationship in lung cancer cells between expression of RB and p16INK4A, an upstream regulator of RB. Mutations of p53, with frequencies up to 50% in NSCLC and 80% in SCLC, can lead to loss of tumor-suppressor function, cellular proliferation, and inhibition of apoptosis. The identified molecular abnormalities in lung cancer are currently used to develop diagnostics for detecting early disease, as well as to identify targets for gene therapy. CONCLUSION Genetic abnormalities involved in the pathogenesis of lung cancer are rapidly being delineated. Understanding molecular abnormalities in lung cancer could potentially lead to earlier diagnosis and the development of novel investigational approaches to the treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract MicroRNA (miR) acts as a negative regulator of gene expression. Many literatures have suggested that miRs may be involved in the process of cell proliferation, inflammation, oxidative stress, energy metabolism and epithelial–mesenchymal transition. Thus, miRs may be implicated in the occurrence of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the current investigation, we included 2249 subjects (1193 NSCLC patients and 1056 controls) and designed a study to identify the relationship of miR-146a rs2910164 C/G, -499a rs3746444 A/G and -196a-2 rs11614913 T/C with the risk of NSCLC. The risk factors (e.g., body mass index (BMI), sex, smoking, drinking and age) was used to adjust the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). After conducting a power value assessment, we did not confirm that the miR-single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotypic distributions were different in NSCLC cases and controls. However, the association of miR-196a-2 rs11614913 with a decreased risk of NSCLC was identified in the female subgroup (adjusted P=0.005, power = 0.809 for TC vs. TT, and adjusted P=0.004, power = 0.849 for CC/TC vs. TT). In addition, gene–gene interaction analysis showed that rs11614913 TC/3746444 AA and rs11614913 CC/rs3746444 AA could also reduce the susceptibility to NSCLC (rs11614913 TC/rs3746444 AA vs. rs11614913 TT/rs3746444 AA, P=0.001, power = 0.912 and rs11614913 CC/rs3746444 AA vs. rs11614913 TT/rs3746444 AA, P=0.003, power = 0.836). In conclusion, in overall comparisons, we did not confirm that the rs2910164, rs3746444, and rs11614913 SNPs genotypic distributions were different in NSCLC cases and controls. However, this case–control study demonstrates that miR-196a-2 rs11614913 may be a protective factor for the development of NSCLC among female patients.
