pubmed:abstractText |
Cetuximab, an antibody against epidermal growth factor receptor, has been approved for the treatment of colorectal carcinoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. There is increasing evidence that cetuximab can reverse the resistance to irinotecan (CPT-11) and oxaliplatin. Since cisplatin (DDP) is a widely used chemotherapeutics this study examined whether cetuximab could reverse the resistance to DDP. Combined treatment with DDP and cetuximab resulted in an increase in the cytotoxicity of DDP in a DDP-sensitive lung cancer cell line (A549), but not in a DDP-resistant derivative (A549/DDP). Meantime, DDP activated the EGFR pathway in A549 cells but not in A549/DDP cells in a ligand-independent fashion. After the expression of excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC-1) protein was inhibited by small interfering RNA (siRNA), the potential of cetuximab to enhance DDP-mediated cytotoxicity was restored in A549/DDP cells. These data suggested that ERCC-1 was involved in the resistance of cetuximab combined with DDP as overexpression of ERCC-1 prohibits the activation of EGFR pathway, which would facilitate the preselection of lung cancer patients for the treatment of cetuximab combined with DDP.
