BackgroundLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, andEGFRmutation is the most common genetic alteration among Asian patients with lung adenocarcinoma. While osimertinib has been shown to be effective in lung cancer patients withEGFRmutation, the majority of patients eventually develop acquired resistance to treatment. We explored the significance of the cyclin D1 expression in patients withEGFRmutation and the potential efficacy of adding abemaciclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor, simultaneously with osimertinib in vitro.Materials and methodsImmunohistochemical staining, using an anti-cyclin D1 antibody, of specimens from 83 patients withEGFRmutation (male, n = 27; pStage 0-I, n = 71) who were treated by surgical resection between 2017 and 2020, and the relationship between the cyclin D1 expression and clinicopathological factors was analyzed. Additionally, the combined effect of osimertinib and abemaciclib in lung cancer cell lines were analyzed using a growth inhibition test, and the signaling pathway underlying the combined effect was investigated.ResultsCyclin D1 was negative in 18.1% of patients withEGFRmutation, and cyclin D1 negativity was associated with pStage ≥ II (p = 0.02), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.001), and lymphatic invasion (p = 0.01). The cyclin D1-negative group had significantly shorter recurrence-free survival (p = 0.02), although this difference disappeared when limited to pN0 patients. InEGFRmutated cell lines, the combination of osimertinib and abemaciclib demonstrated synergistic effects, which were thought to be mediated by the inhibition of AKT phosphorylation.ConclusionCombination therapy with CDK4/6 inhibitors and EGFR-TKIs may be a promising approach.
