Licochalcone A Promotes the Ubiquitination of c-Met to Abrogate Gefitinib Resistance.
Met proto-oncogene (MET) amplification and tyrosine-protein kinase Met (c-Met) overexpression confer gefitinib resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The natural product Licochalcone A (Lico A) exhibits a broad range of inhibitory effects against various tumors. However, the effects of Lico A on c-Met signaling and gefitinib resistance in NSCLC remain unclear. In the present study, Lico A efficiently overcame gefitinib-acquired resistance in NSCLC cells by suppressing c-Met signaling. Lico A decreased cell viability and colony formation dose-dependently and impaired in vivo tumorigenesis of gefitinib-resistant HCC827 and PC-9 cells. Furthermore, Lico A induced intrinsic apoptosis and upregulated the protein expression levels of cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase and cleaved caspase 3. Lico A promoted the interaction between c-Met and E3 ligase c-Casitas B-lineage lymphoma (Cbl), which enhanced c-Cbl-mediated c-Met ubiquitination and degradation. Depletion of c-Cbl compromised Lico A-induced c-Met ubiquitination and its inhibitory efficacy in gefitinib-resistant NSCLC cells. Taken together, the results suggest that Lico A is a promising antitumor agent that might be used to overcome c-Met overexpression-mediated gefitinib resistance in NSCLC cells.
