Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) inevitably exhibit drug resistance, which diminishes therapeutic effects. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms of TKI resistance in NSCLC remain obscure. In this study, data from clinical and TCGA databases revealed an increase in DNMT3A expression, which was correlated with a poor prognosis. Using NSCLC organoid models, we observed that high DNMT3A levels reduced TKI susceptibility of NSCLC cells via upregulating inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). Simultaneously, the DNMT3Ahigh subset, which escaped apoptosis, underwent an early senescent-like state in a CDKN1A-dependent manner. Furthermore, the cellular senescence induced by TKIs was observed to be reversible, whereas DNMT3Ahigh cells reacquired their proliferative characteristics in the absence of TKIs, resulting in subsequent tumour recurrence and growth. Notably, the blockade of DNMT3A/IAPs signals enhanced the efficacy of TKIs in DNMT3Ahigh tumour-bearing mice, which represented a promising strategy for the effective treatment of NSCLC. |
