Abstract (original English)

Although epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) show efficacy in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients, TKI resistance inevitably develops, limiting long-term results. Thus, there is an urgent need to address drug resistance in LUAD. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HIF1A-AS2 could be a critical mediator in the progression of various tumor types. We examined the function of HIF1A-AS2 in modifying tumor aggravation and osimertinib resistance in lung adenocarcinoma. Using clinical samples, we showed that HIF1A-AS2 was upregulated in LUAD specimens, predicting poorer overall survival and disease-free survival. HIF1A-AS2 silencing inhibited the proliferation, migration, and tumorigenesis of LUAD cells and therapeutic efficacy of osimertinib against tumor cells in vitro and in vivo . RNA precipitation assays, western blotting, luciferase assays, and rescue experiments demonstrated that HIF1A-AS2 sponged microRNA-146b-5p (miR-146b-5p), promoting interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression, activating the IL-6/STAT3 pathway, and leading to LUAD progression. miR-146b-5p and IL-6 levels were correlated with the prognosis of LUAD patients. Our results indicated that HIF1A-AS2 functions as an oncogenic factor in adenocarcinoma cells by targeting the miR-146b-5p/IL-6/STAT3 axis and may be a prognostic indicator of survival. Moreover, it can be a potential therapeutic target to en
