Abstract: The activation of AKT is one of the causes of resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)– tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) combines with related receptors to trigger apoptosis or protect the cells against TRAIL apoptosis. This research focused on the association of EGFR and KRAS mutations with expression of AKT, p-AKT, DR5 and DcR1 in non-small cell lung cancer. 82 NSCLC patients were included in the study. xTAG liquichip techonolgy (xTAG-LCT) was applied to investigate the genetic mutation of EGFR and KRAS, Quantitative Real-time PCR was used to test the mRNA expression of AKT, DR5 and DcR1 and Western Blot was applied to test the protein expression of AKT, p-AKT, DR5, and DcR1. We found that of 82 patients, 31 cases had EGFR-activating mutations, more common in female, adenocarcinoma, and non-smoker patients; 9 cases had KRAS mutations, frequently found in patients with smoking history. The expression of AKT and p-AKT correlated with staging, tumor differentiation, and lymph node metastasis. The expression of DR5 in phase III and low differentiation tumor was significantly higher than that in phase I+II and high and median differentiation tumor; the expression of DcR1 in phase III and low differentiation tumor was significantly lower than that in phase I+II and high and median differentiation tumor. Compared with EGFR and KRAS wild type, in NSCLC tissue with EGFR and KRAS mutations, the expression of AKT and p-AKT was significantly higher. These results suggest that EGFR and KRAS mutation status was associated with the expression of AKT and p-AKT. AKT, p-AKT, DR5, and DcR1 all took part in the occurrence and development of NSCLC, and may become a reference index to evaluate the prognosis of NSCLC. |
