EGFR Inhibitor CL-387785 Suppresses the Progression of Lung Adenocarcinoma

This study aimed to explore the influence of the irreversible EGFR inhibitor CL-387785 on invasion, metastasis, and radiation sensitization of non-small cell lung cancer cells.The proliferation inhibitory rate at different time points was detected by MTT assay. The apoptosis of H1975 cells treated with CL-387785 was detected using flow cytometry. The invasion and migration of H1975 cells treated with CL-387785 were determined by Transwell assay and wound healing assay. The survival fraction (SF) of H1975 cells cultured with CL- 387785 under X-ray (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 Gy) was detected by cloning formation experiment, and the sensitization ratio (SER) was calculated by clicking the multi-target model to fit the cell survival curve.CL-387785 restrained H1975 cell proliferation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. CL-387785 promoted H1975 cell apoptosis and reduced cell migration distance and the number of transmembrane cells. The SF treated by different concentrations of CL-387785 (10, 25, 50, and 100 nM) was all below 0 nM. The radiation SER of CL-387785 (10, 25, 50 and 100 nM) were 1.17, 1.39, 2.88, and 3.64, respectively.The invasion and metastasis of H1975 cells were restrained by irreversible EGFR inhibitor CL-387785. CL-387785 also exhibited the effect of radiotherapy sensitization.
