RESUMO

Lipids, as multifunctional molecules, play a crucial role in a variety of cellular processes. These include regulating membrane glycoprotein functions, controlling membrane trafficking, influencing apoptotic pathways, and affecting drug transport. In addition, lipid metabolites can alter the surrounding microenvironment in ways that might encourage tumor progression. The reprogramming of lipid metabolism is pivotal in promoting tumorigenesis and cancer progression, with tumors often displaying significant changes in lipid profiles. This review concentrates on the essential factors that drive lipid metabolic reprogramming, which contributes to the advancement and drug resistance in melanoma. Moreover, we discuss recent advances and current therapeutic strategies that employ small-molecule inhibitors to target lipid metabolism in skin cancers, particularly those associated with inflammation and melanoma.

RESUMO

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as gefitinib and osimertinib have primarily been used as first-line treatments for patients with EGFR-activating mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Novel biomarkers are required to distinguish patients with lung cancer who are resistant to EGFR-TKIs. The aim of the study is to investigate the expression and functional role of YES1, one of the Src-family kinases, in EGFR-TKI-resistant NSCLC. YES1 expression was elevated in gefitinib-resistant HCC827 (HCC827/GR) cells, harboring EGFR mutations. Moreover, HCC827/GR cells exhibited increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels compared to those of the parent cells, resulting in the phosphorylation/activation of YES1 due to oxidation of the cysteine residue. HCC827/GR cells showed elevated expression levels of YES1-associated protein 1 (YAP1), NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), cancer stemness-related markers, and antioxidant proteins compared to those of the parent cells. Knockdown of YES1 in HCC827/GR cells suppressed YAP1 phosphorylation, leading to the inhibition of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Cyclin D1 expression. Silencing YES1 markedly attenuated the proliferation, migration, and tumorigenicity of HCC827/GR cells. Dasatinib inhibited the proliferation of HCC827/GR cells by targeting YES1-mediated signaling pathways. Furthermore, the combination of gefitinib and dasatinib demonstrated a synergistic effect in suppressing the proliferation of HCC827/GR cells. Notably, YES1- and Nrf2-regulated genes showed a positive regulatory relationship in patients with lung cancer and in TKI-resistant NSCLC cell lines. Taken together, these findings suggest that modulation of YES1 expression and activity may be an attractive therapeutic strategy for the treatment of drug-resistant NSCLC.

RESUMO

Src family kinases (SFKs) are non-receptor tyrosine kinases that are recognized as proto-oncogenic products. Among SFKs, YES1 is frequently amplified and overexpressed in a variety of human tumors, including lung, breast, ovarian, and skin cancers. YES1 plays a pivotal role in promoting cell proliferation, survival, and invasiveness during tumor development. Recent findings indicate that YES1 expression and activation are associated with resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs and tyrosine kinase inhibitors in human malignancies. YES1 undergoes post-translational modifications, such as lipidation and nitrosylation, which can modulate its catalytic activity, subcellular localization, and binding affinity for substrate proteins. Therefore, we investigated the diverse mechanisms governing YES1 activation and its impact on critical intracellular signal transduction pathways. We emphasized the function of YES1 as a potential mechanism contributing to the anticancer drug resistance emergence.
