EGFR-DEL19/T790M is a mutant type of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) that is expressed by the human EGFR-DEL19/T790M stable cell line Ba/F3. As a receptor for the epidermal growth factor family, EGFR is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the protein kinase superfamily. A deletion in exon 19 and a replacement of methionine for threonine at position 790 characterize the EGFR-DEL19/T790M variation, which is frequently detected in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Primarily found on the surface of cells, EGFR is essential for cell division because it binds to the epidermal growth factor, which triggers receptor dimerization and tyrosine autophosphorylation. Lung cancer is among the many malignancies linked to EGFR mutations, including the DEL19 and T790M variants. These mutations may result in resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which might complicate the management of cancer.
A popular mouse pro-B cell line in cancer and signal transduction studies is Ba/F3. These cells may be modified to produce foreign genes of interest, such as mutant EGFR variants, and are reliant on interleukin-3 (IL-3) for growth and survival. Ba/F3 cells can be kept as suspension cultures and are cultivated in medium supplemented with IL-3.
About 15 to 30 percent of lung cancer patients have EGFR gene mutations; significant mutations like del19 are very susceptible to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The scientists looked at a case containing an EGFR-L747P mutation, first misdiagnosed as del19. Their study employed advanced molecular dynamics simulations and binding free energy calculations to reveal how the L747P mutation stabilizes the active EGFR conformation, complicating its response to TKIs. This highlights the pressing need for innovative therapies targeting these less common mutations. In their work, the researchers established Ba/F3 cells expressing the EGFR-L747P mutation, demonstrating its oncogenic potential by enabling IL-3 independent growth. They evaluated the sensitivity of these cells to various EGFR-TKIs, revealing that while the L747P mutant exhibited resistance to gefitinib and erlotinib, it remained sensitive to second-generation TKIs like afatinib and dacomitinib.
Figure 1. To test drug sensitivity, researchers created Ba/F3 cells with the EGFR-L747P mutant. They examined the effects of gefitinib, erlotinib, afatinib, and dacomitinib on these cells, as well as other significant and resistant EGFR mutations, to determine their effectiveness.
