Potential Association of Cytochrome P450 Copy Number Alteration in Tumour with Chemotherapy Resistance in Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2023 August 30
Resistance to anticancer agents is a major obstacle to efficacious tumour therapy and responsible for high cancer-related mortality rates. Some resistance mechanisms are associated with pharmacokinetic variability in anticancer drug exposure due to genetic polymorphisms of drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, whereas variations in tumoural metabolism as a consequence of CYP copy number alterations are assumed to contribute to the selection of resistant cells. A high-throughput quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based method was developed for detection of CYP copy number alterations in tumours, and a scoring system improved the identification of inappropriate reference genes that underwent deletion/multiplication in tumours. The copy numbers of both the target ( CYP2C8 , CYP3A4 ) and the reference genes ( ALB , B2M , BCKDHA , F5 , CD36 , MPO , TBP , RPPH1 ) established in primary lung adenocarcinoma by the qPCR-based method were congruent with those determined by next-generation sequencing (for 10 genes, slope = 0.9498, r2 = 0.72). In treatment naïve adenocarcinoma samples, the copy number multiplication of paclitaxel-metabolizing CYP2C8 and/or CYP3A4 was more prevalent in non-responder patients with progressive disease/exit than in responders with complete remission. The high-throughput qPCR-based method can become an alternative approach to next-generation sequencing in routine clinical practice, and identification of altered CYP copy numbers may provide a promising biomarker for therapy-resistant tumours.
