Abstract
Lung cancer, characterized by its heterogeneity, presents a significant challenge in therapeutic management, primarily due to the development of resistance to conventional drugs. This resistance is often compounded by the tumor's ability to reprogram its metabolic pathways, a survival strategy that enables cancer cells to thrive in adverse conditions. This review article explores the complex link between drug resistance and metabolic reprogramming in lung cancer, offering a detailed analysis of the molecular mechanisms and treatment strategies. It emphasizes the interplay between drug resistance and changes in metabolic pathways, crucial for developing effective lung cancer therapies. This review examines the impact of current treatments on metabolic pathways and the significance of considering metabolic factors to combat drug resistance. It highlights the different challenges and metabolic alterations in non-small-cell lung cancer and small-cell lung cancer, underlining the need for subtype-specific treatments. Key signaling pathways, including PI3K/AKT/mTOR, MAPK, and AMPK, have been discussed for their roles in promoting drug resistance and metabolic changes, alongside the complex regulatory networks involved. This review article evaluates emerging treatments targeting metabolism, such as metabolic inhibitors, dietary management, and combination therapies, assessing their potential and challenges. It concludes with insights into the role of precision medicine and metabolic biomarkers in crafting personalized lung cancer treatments, advocating for metabolic targeting as a promising approach to enhance treatment efficacy and overcome drug resistance. This review underscores ongoing advancements and hurdles in integrating metabolic considerations into lung cancer therapy strategies.

A Systematic Role of Metabolomics, Metabolic Pathways, and Chemical Metabolism in Lung Cancer. Vaccines (Basel) 2023; 11:vaccines11020381. [PMID: 36851259 PMCID: PMC9960365 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines11020381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is considered as one of the leading causes of cancer-associated mortalities. Cancer cells' reprogrammed metabolism results in changes in metabolite concentrations, which can be utilized to identify a distinct metabolic pattern or fingerprint for cancer detection or diagnosis. By detecting different metabolic variations in the expression levels of LC patients, this will help and enhance early diagnosis methods as well as new treatment strategies. The majority of patients are identified at advanced stages after undergoing a number of surgical procedures or diagnostic testing, including the invasive procedures. This could be overcome by understanding the mechanism and function of differently regulated metabolites. Significant variations in the metabolites present in the different samples can be analyzed and used as early biomarkers. They could also be used to analyze the specific progression and type as well as stages of cancer type making it easier for the treatment process. The main aim of this review article is to focus on rewired metabolic pathways and the associated metabolite alterations that can be used as diagnostic and therapeutic targets in lung cancer diagnosis as well as treatment strategies.

Front Oncol 2022; 12:778035. [PMID: 35449573 PMCID: PMC9017425 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.778035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Sotorasib is a novel targeted inhibitor of Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) (G12C) that has shown exciting tumor-suppressing effects not only for single targeted agents but also for combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, no integrative analysis of the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacometabolomics (PM) of sotorasib has been reported to date. In the present study, a sensitive and robust high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method was firstly developed and fully validated for the quantitation of sotorasib in rat plasma. After one-step protein precipitation, sotorasib and an internal standard (carbamazepine) were separated on a Waters XBrige C18 column (50 mm × 2.1 mm, 3.5 μm) and analyzed in electrospray ionization positive ion (ESI+) mode. The optimized method was fully validated according to guidance and was successfully applied for the PK study of sotorasib at a dose of 10 mg/kg. In addition, a longitudinal and transversal PM was employed and correlated with PK using partial least squares model and Pearson’s analysis. With multivariate statistical analysis, the selected six (AUC model) and nine (Cmax model) metabolites completely distinguished the high- and low-exposure groups after sotorasib treatment, which indicates that these potential biomarkers can predict drug exposure or toxicity. The results of this study will not only shed light on how sotorasib disturbs the metabolic profiles and the relationship between PK and PM but also offer meaningful references for precision therapy in patients with the KRAS (G12C) mutation.

Abstract
Anlotinib (ANL) shows promising efficacy in patients with renal cell cancer (RCC). Here, for the first time, a serum eicosanoid metabolomics profile and pharmacodynamics in Renca syngeneic mice treated with ANL was performed and integrated using our previous HPLC-MS/MS method and multivariate statistical analysis. The tumor growth inhibition rates of ANL were 39% and 52% at low (3 mg/kg) and high (6 mg/kg) dose levels, without obvious toxicity. A total of 15 disturbed metabolites were observed between the normal group and the model group, and the intrinsic metabolic phenotype alterations had occurred due to the treatment of ANL. A total of eight potential metabolites from the refined partial least squares (PLS) model were considered as potential predictive biomarkers for the efficacy of ANL, and the DHA held the most outstanding sensitivity and specificity with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.88. Collectively, the results of this exploratory study not only provide a powerful reference for understanding eicosanoid metabolic reprogramming of ANL but also offer an innovative perspective for the development of therapeutic targets and strategies, the discovery of predictive biomarkers, and the determination of effective tumor monitoring approaches.
