Abstract

Ivosidenib is an isocitrate dehydrogenase mutant inhibitor that the US Food and Drug Administration recently approved for the treatment of leukemia. Studies suggested that ivosidenib may inhibit the progression of non-small cell lung Cancer (NSCLC). In the present study, we explored RNAs and their potential regulatory mechanisms by which ivosidenib treats NSCLC cells. We used MTT assays, Transwell assays, and flow cytometry to measure the anti-tumor effects of ivosidenib in NSCLC cells. We performed whole transcriptome Sequencing to determine differentially expressed mRNAs (DE-mRNAs) and non-coding RNAs (ncRNA). We used GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses to identify the functions and potential mechanisms. According to miRNA target interactions, we constructed a competing endogenous network. Ivosidenib inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration of NSCLC cells and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. We identified 212 DE-mRNAs, four DE-miRNAs, and 206 DE-lncRNAs in ivosidenib-treated NSCLC cells compared to untreated NSCLC cells. DE-mRNAs were significantly enriched in the cancer-associated pathways, including the TGF-β signaling pathway, the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, the Jak-STAT signaling pathway, the MAPK signaling pathway, the Rap1 signaling pathway, and cell adhesion molecules. Based on the competing endogenous RNA hypothesis, we constructed lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks to elucidate the regulatory relationships between mRNA and ncRNA. We found that qRT-PCR results showed corresponding expression trends of differential genes with Sequencing data. Our results provide insights into the molecular basis of ivosidenib suppression of NSCLC.
