Abstract
Radiotherapy plays a major role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. The curative efficacy of advanced NSCLC is unsatisfactory because of its radioresistance to conventional radiotherapy. The biomarkers which can be used to diagnose radiosensitivity or predict for prognosis are beneficial in promoting curative effects. In this study, NSCLC cell lines with acquired radioresistance to X-rays were obtained through fractionated irradiation. The differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between the self-established radioresistant NSCLC cell line A549-R11 and control (A549-CK) were measured by proteomic analysis. Among the detected DEPs, CRIP2, ARHGDIB, and PADI3 were validated to be up-regulated in radioresistant cells, in mRNA and protein levels. Further analysis of bioinformatics deciphered that CRIP2, as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and a key biomarker for prediction of prognosis, may impact the X-ray radiosensitivity of NSCLC by regulating the occurrence of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest; as such, it may serve as a potent therapeutic target to facilitate NSCLC radiotherapy. CRIP2 and other DEPs may shed new light on the recognition of complex factors associated with radiation-responsiveness and finally be beneficial in the advancement of personalized therapies and precision medical treatment.
