ABSTRACT

Background:

Lung adenocarcinoma is a malignancy characterized by high mortality rates and unfavorable prognosis. However, the role of Leukotriene C4 Synthase (LTC4S) in lung cancer remains uninvestigated.

Methods:

The expression and prognostic value of LTC4S in LUAD were analyzed using the GEPIA online database. Subsequently, the function of LTC4S in lung cancer cells was examined through gain-of function experiments, using assays to evaluate tumor malignant behavior. Subcutaneous xenograft experiments in vivo was used for investigating the functions of LTC4S. Then, tumor hallmark pathways were analyzed by GSEA. Western blot assay was used to validate the impact of LTC4S on mTORC1 pathway. Finally, the correlation of mRNA and methylation of LTC4S were analyzed by cBioPortal. qRT-PCR, ChIP-qPCR and ChIP-Atlas were used to verify the regulation factors of LTC4S low expression in LUAD cells.

Results:

LTC4S presented significant decreased expression and favorable prognostic significance in LUAD. LTC4S was correlated with clinical stages in LUAD, which showed decreased expression gradually and significantly along with TNM stages. LTC4S-co-expressed genes were closely related to Ras signaling pathway, and MAPK signaling pathway. Overexpression of LTC4S inhibited cancer malignant phenotype and tumor growth in vitro and vivo. GSEA analysis and Western blot assay suggested low expression of LTC4S activated mTORC1 signaling pathway in LUAD. Moreover, the DNA methylation level of LTC4S in LUAD tissue was markedly elevated compared to normal tissue. The hypermethylation of the LTC4S promoter by DNMT3A leads to the decreased expression of LTC4S in LUAD.

Conclusions:

In conclusion, low expression of LTC4S serves as an unfavorable prognostic marker and the critical function of LTC4S in controlling the progression of LUAD. This highlights the promise for exploring the clinical benefits of manipulating LTC4S in LUAD targeted therapies.
