ARTICLE ABSTRACT

Here, we have investigated treatment resistance mechanisms in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) by focusing on comparing the genotype and phenotype in tumor samples of treatment-resistant and treatment-sensitive SCLC. We conducted whole-exome sequencing on paired tumor samples at diagnosis and relapse from 11 patients with limited-stage (LS)-SCLC and targeted sequencing of 1,021 cancer-related genes on cell-free DNA at baseline and paired relapsed samples from 9 additional patients with LS-SCLC. Furthermore, we performed label-free mass spectrometry–based proteomics on tumor samples from 28 chemo-resistant and 23 chemo-sensitive patients with extensive-stage (ES)-SCLC. The main findings were validated in vitro in chemo-sensitive versus chemo-resistant SCLC cell lines and analyses of transcriptomic data of SCLC cell lines from a public database. Genomic analyses demonstrated that at relapse of LS-SCLC, genes in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were enriched for acquired somatic mutations or high-frequency acquired copy-number variants. Pathway analysis on differentially upregulated proteins from ES-SCLC cohort revealed enrichment in the HIF-1 signaling pathway. Importantly, 7 of 62 PI3K/AKT pathway genes containing acquired somatic copy-number amplifications were enriched in HIF-1 pathway. Analyses of transcriptomic data of SCLC cell lines from public databases confirmed upregulation of PI3K/AKT and HIF-1 pathways in chemo-resistant SCLC cell lines. Furthermore, chemotherapy-resistant cell lines could be sensitive to PI3K inhibitors in vitro. PI3K/AKT pathway activation may be one potential mechanism underlying therapeutic resistance of SCLC. This finding warrants further investigation and provides a possible approach to reverse resistance to chemo/radiotherapy.
