Tumor microenvironment can lead to chemotherapy resistance in lung cancer. PD-1 and PD-L1 are core regulatory molecules of immune checkpoint. Our study intends to assess IFN-γ combined with Pembrolizumab’s effect on chemoresistance of lung adenocarcinoma. Human A549/DDP lung adenocarcinoma resistant strains were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into control group, IFN-γ group and Pembrolizumab+IFN-γ group followed by analysis of cell proliferation by MTT assay, cell apoptosis by flow cytometry, the levels of PD-L1 and Bcl-2 by Western Blot, the level of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-17 by ELISA, as well as the expression of JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway by Western Blot. IFN-γ-treated A549/DDP cells showed significantly inhibited cell apoptosis, promoted cell proliferation, increased level of IL-10, IL-17, and elevated expression of PD-L1 and Bcl-2, as well as increased phosphorylation of JAK and STAT3 (P < 0.05). However, Pembrolizumab combined with IFN-γ treatment significantly inhibited cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis, decreased IL-10 and IL-17 level, PD-L1 and Bcl-2 expression as well as JAK and STAT3 phosphorylation with significant difference compared to IFN-γ treatment alone (P < 0.05). IFN-γ up-regulates PD-L1 expression by up-regulating the JAK/STAT3 pathway, inhibits the apoptosis of drug-resistant cells in lung adenocarcinoma, and promotes cell proliferation. Pembrolizumab can reverse IFN-γ’s effect on drug-resistant cells of lung adenocarcinoma, down-regulate JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway and, promote the apoptosis of drug-resistant lung cancer cells, and inhibit cell proliferation.

To investigate the effect of Lentinan (LNT) on lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cell stemness and its mechanism. In this study, we founded that LNT significantly reduce the cell proliferation, activity, migration, invasion, and stemness of LUAD cells, and promote their apoptosis compared with the control group in vitro. Moreover, LNT significantly inhibited the volume and weight of tumors of nude mice in vivo. At the same time, LNT can significantly up-regulate miR-216a-5p levels and reduce the protein expression of phospho-JAK2 (Y1007/1008) and phospho-STAT3 (Tyr705), thereby inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Interfering with miR-216a-5p expression and activating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway can significantly reverse LNT inhibitory effects on LUAD. Collectively, LNT can inhibit the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway by up-regulating miR-216a-5p, reducing stemness, and promoting LUAD cells apoptosis, then slow down LUAD occurrence and development, providing concepts and experimental foundation treating patients with LUAD.

Abstract Six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate-1 (STEAP1) is a relatively newly identified gene target from prostate cancer, breast cancer, and gastric cancer. However, functions of STEAP1 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) are still unknown. In the present study, we explored the molecular and cellular mechanisms of STEAP1 in LUAD. Western blot and Q-PCR were conducted to detect the protein and mRNA expressions respectively. The cell proliferation was tested by CCK8 assay. The effects of STEAP1 on the metastasis and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) of LUAD were evaluated by EdU assay, wound healing assay, and transwell migratory assay. H1650, H358, HCC827, H1299, H23, A549, H1693 were selected as human LUAD cell lines in the study. Results have shown that STEAP1 expression was up-regulated in LUAD cells compared with normal lung epithelial cells. Knockdowning of STEAP1 suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LUAD epithelial cells. Importantly, after comparing the proliferation, migration, and invasion of LUAD to the corresponding control groups treated in STAT3 inhibitor ADZ1480, we found that STEAP1 regulates EMT via Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway. In conclusion, STEAP1 can serve as a therapeutic target, and it may have important clinical implications for LUAD treatment.
