The cosignal molecule B7-H3 is gaining attention due to its abnormal expression and abundant signal transduction in many types of malignancies. B7-H3-induced signaling includes at least three cascades: PI3K/AKT, JAK2/STAT3, and Raf/MEK/ERK1/2, which are also involved in epidermal growth factor receptor- (EGFR-) triggered signaling in lung adenocarcinoma cells. However, the correlation between B7-H3-induced signaling and EGFR signaling, and between B7-H3-targeted immunotherapy and EGFR-targeted therapy in lung adenocarcinoma, remains to be elucidated. Herein we find that knockout of B7-H3 gene decreased cell survival and increased EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib susceptibility of both H3255 and HCC827 cells, two lung adenocarcinoma cell lines harboring EGFR L858R (exon 21) and Del E746-A750 (exon 19) mutations, respectively. B7-H3 deletion resulted in dramatic reduction of phosphorylation level of AKT and STAT3 in H3255 cells while having mild-to-moderate suppression on AKT, STAT3, and ERK1/2 in HCC827 cells. Gefitinib had similar effects with B7-H3 deletion both in H3255 and HCC827 cells. Furthermore, B7-H3 ablation had significant synergistic effects with gefitinib in HCC827 cells. Collectively, our study reveals B7-H3-induced signaling in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines with divergent EGFR mutations, and a translational potential of combined targeted therapy of B7-H3 and EGFR in lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR Del E746-A750 mutation.

e17510 Background: Gefitinib has shown good activity in lung cancer harboring mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene. However, how to integrate gefitinib into concurrent chemoradiotherapy for unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations is uncertain. Methods: We present three cases of locally advanced lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutation, which were treated with gefitinib followed by weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin concurrent with radiation. Three female patients (median age, 73 years; range, 61–77 years) received induction gefitinib 150 mg daily for 1-2 months followed by weekly paclitaxel 40 mg/m2 weekly over 1 hour; carboplatin at AUC (area under the curve) of 2 weekly over 1 hour; and radiation therapy of 60 Gy in 30 fractions. Results: Gefitinib induced very rapid response within the first month without pulmonary toxicity. Subsequent concurrent chemoradiotherapy was performed with safety. One patient recurred as hematogenous lung metastases at 5 months after treatment. The remaining two patients are well doing without adverse events. Conclusions: The very quick response to induction gefitinib and sequential chemoradiotherapy may be an effective treatment with good tolerance. We believe that this treatment strategy deserves further evaluation in unresectable locally advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations.

Abstract: EGFR mutations is associated with sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI’s) therapy which are found in Lung Adenocarcinoma. There are some limitations in detecting EGFR mutation. CEA is also expected to predict treatment efficiency of EGFR-TKI's therapy. In this study, we investigated the relationship between serum Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutations in Lung Adenocarcinoma patient. Methods : The research was conducted in Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital Malang. From May 2014 to November 2015, 54 lung adenocarcinoma patients who had underwent measurements of EGFR  mutation and serum CEA level were retrospectively recruited. None of them had surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and  targeted therapy. EGFR mutation was detected using PCR, serum CEA levels were analyzed using electrochemical luminescence. Result: Abnormal serum levels of CEA were significantly associated with EGFR mutation (95% CI, P=0,043) with an odds ratio of 3.4 (95% CI: 1.010-11.451). The area under the ROC curve for CEA was 0.558 (95% CI, P=0.078). Conclusion: Serum CEA is associated with mutation of EGFR in lung adenocarcinoma patients.  Keywords : Lung cancer, adenocarcinoma, EGFR, CEA
