Abstract:
:Lung cancer negatively impacts global health, and the incidence of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is highest among all forms of lung cancer. Chemotherapy failure mainly occurs due to drug resistance; however, the associated molecular mechanism remains unclear. Casein kinase II (CK2), which plays important roles in the occurrence, development and metastasis of many tumours, regulates Wnt signaling by modulating β-catenin expression. In the present study the effects of the CK2 inhibitor, CX4945 on cisplatin [or cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II); (DDP)]-resistant A549 cells (A549/DDP) were investigated to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism. A549/DDP cells were divided into four groups (blank control, CX4945, cisplatin and CX4945+cisplatin). Cisplatin resistance was 5.16-fold greater in A549/DDP cells compared with that in A549 cells, with an optimal cisplatin concentration of 5 µg/ml. Moreover, levels of CK2, dishevelled-2 (DVL-2) phosphorylated (p) at Ser143 (p-DVL-2Ser143), and major Wnt-signaling proteins were significantly higher in A549/DDP cells compared with that in A549 cells (P<0.05), with these levels further increased following cisplatin treatment (P<0.05), whereas these levels significantly decreased in A549 cells after cisplatin treatment (P<0.05). Additionally, multidrug-resistance-associated protein 1 and lung resistance protein expression was significantly higher in A549/DDP cells compared with that in A549 cells (P<0.05), with these levels increasing further in A549/DDP (P<0.05) but not A549 cells upon cisplatin treatment (P>0.05). In addition, reduced expression of resistance proteins in A549/DDP cells was accompanied by a decline in the 50% growth inhibition after CX4945 pre-treatment. Furthermore, levels of p-DVL-2Ser143 and major Wnt-signaling proteins decreased significantly after treatment of A549/DDP cells with CX4945+cisplatin, whereas DVL-2 and p-DVL-2Thr224 levels remained unchanged. Additionally, significant elevations in apoptosis rates in the CX4945+cisplatin group relative to the control and cisplatin-only groups, was observed (P<0.001). These results suggested that inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling with CX4945, which attenuates levels of drug-resistance-associated proteins and induces apoptosis, might reverse cisplatin resistance in NSCLC.
