The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene encodes a protein that spans cell membranes and is essential for regulating cell growth and division. In healthy states, the EGFR protein contributes to the normal cycle of cell death and renewal. However, mutations within this gene can cause cells to grow uncontrolled and form malignant tumors. The EGFR-L858R mutation is caused by a substitution of amino acid 858 from leucine (L) to arginine (R) in the protein. This mutation increases the sensitivity of the receptor to EGF, leading to uncontrolled cell division. However, the T790M mutation is caused by a substitution of threonine (T) to methionine (M) at position 790 in the EGFR protein. This mutation leads to resistance to first- and second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) drugs, posing a major challenge in the treatment of EGFR-positive lung cancer.
Human EGFR-L858R/T790M Stable Cell Line-Ba/F3 provides an ideal in vitro model to study the biology of these two important EGFR mutations and to develop therapeutic strategies for EGFR-mutated lung cancer. This cell line was maintained under stable conditions and grew in an interleukin-3 (IL-3)-independent manner. It exhibits high sensitivity to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors in proliferation assays.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating EGFR mutations was initially treated with first-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), but unfortunately, these drugs have limited efficacy, mostly due to the T790M mutation. Although osimertinib has been approved for the treatment of patients with T790M-positive NSCLC, most patients will develop C797S mutations and become ill again. Therefore, more new treatment strategies for T790M mutation-positive NSCLC are urgently needed. It was hypothesized that wighteone, a natural compound isolated from plant derivatives, would have antitumor effects against NSCLC with T790M mutation. In this study, a Ba/F3 cell line carrying EGFR L858R/T790M mutations (Ba/F3 EGFR L858R/T790M cell line) was established, and the effects and mechanisms of wighteone were investigated using this cell line and a human NSCLC cell line carrying EGFR L858R/T790M mutations (NCI-H1975). The results showed that wighteone inhibited cell proliferation, suppressed EGFR signaling pathway, caused cell cycle redistribution and induced cell apoptosis. The study showed that wighteone may provide a new potential treatment strategy for NSCLC patients carrying T790M mutation.
To evaluate the effect of leukotoxin on proliferation, the researchers first tested a range of concentrations of leukotoxin in Ba/F3 cells, Ba/F3 EGFR L858R/T790M cells, and human NSCLC cells NCI-H1975. Compared with Ba/F3 cells, leukotoxin (Figure 1A) had a stronger inhibitory effect in Ba/F3 EGFR L858R/T790M cells and NCI-H1975 cells (Figure 1B-D). Then, colony formation assays were further performed to determine the antiproliferative potential of leukotoxin. As shown in Figure 1E, F, wighteone significantly inhibited the clonogenic potential of NCI-H1975 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. These results proved the effect of wighteone on cell proliferation against EGFR L858R/T790M.

The inhibitory effect of Wighteone was evaluated in Ba/F3 (B), Ba/F3 EGFR L858R/T790M (C), and NCI-H1975 (D) cells. (E) NCI-H1975 cells were treated with different concentrations of Wighteone, and the colony formation efficiency was observed by colony formation assay. (F) Quantitative results of clonogenic effects were analyzed. (Sun P, et al., 2021)
