An isoleucine/valine polymorphism was observed at codon 1464 of the ATP7A gene, which is thought to encode a copper transporting adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). The frequency of Val1464 was estimated to be 5.7% in the Japanese population. This polymorphism may be useful in genetic studies of Menkes disease.

Expression of copper-transporting P-type adenosine triphosphatase A (ATP7A) is reportedly associated with platinum drug resistance in various types of solid tumors. However, the impact of ATP7A expression on platinum drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has yet to be adequately elucidated. In vitro cisplatin (CDDP) sensitivity was investigated using the collagen gel-droplet embedded culture drug sensitivity test, and the ATP7A mRNA expression levels were assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction in surgically resected specimens of NSCLC. The relationship between the ATP7A expression levels and the in vitro CDDP sensitivity was then evaluated. The ATP7A mRNA expression levels in the CDDP-resistant tumors were significantly higher than those in the CDDP-sensitive tumors (p=0.0167, Mann-Whitney U test). In conclusion, the results suggest that evaluation of ATP7A expression is useful as a marker for cisplatin chemoresistance.

Copper-transporting P-type adenosine triphosphatase A (ATP7A) is associated with platinum drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at post-transcriptional level. In this study, the aim is to explore which miRNAs might participate in the platinum resistance by targeting ATP7A in NSCLC. Using real-time PCR-based miRNA expression profiling and bioinformatics, we selected miR-495 as a candidate miRNA. EGFP reporter assay, real-time PCR, and Western blot validated that ATP7A was a direct target for miR-495. The drug sensitivity assay indicated that miR-495 enhanced the cell response to cisplatin (CDDP) in NSCLC cells, while inhibition of miR-495 led to the opposite effects. Importantly, either overexpression or knockdown of ATP7A could override the effect of miR-495 on chemosensitivity. We also demonstrated that miR-495 increased the intracellular CDDP accumulation and overexpression of ATP7A can reduce the increased drug concentration induced by miR-495. Finally, we discovered that there was a converse relationship between miR-495 and ATP7A levels in NSCLC tissues sensitive or resistant to CDDP. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that miR-495 regulates the multi-drug resistance by modulation of ATP7A expression in NSCLC and suggest that miR-495 may serve as a potential biomarker for the treatment of multi-drug resistant NSCLC patients with high ATP7A levels.

Copper transporter family proteins may regulate the chemoresistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to platinum-based anticancer drugs. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of these proteins in lung cancer tissue specimens for association with clinicopathological data and patient responses to chemotherapy and survival. A total of 54 patients with surgically resected NSCLC that received first-line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy were recruited in the present study, and the paraffin-embedded pre-treatment tumor tissue specimens were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis for the expression of human copper transporter 1 (hCtr1) and copper-transporting p-type adenosine triphosphatase 1 (ATP7A) and 2 (ATP7B). This cohort of patients with NSCLC received platinum-based chemotherapy subsequent to the surgical removal of tumor lesions. ATP7B expression was found to be significantly associated with tumor cell differentiation, while hCtr1 expression was significantly associated with improved chemotherapeutic responses. The median survival time was 20 months in patients possessing tumors with high ATP7A expression, but >66 months in patients possessing tumors with low ATP7A expression at the end of the follow-up (P<0.001). The median survival time at the end of the follow-up was 15 months in patients with low tumor hCtr1 expression, but >66 months in patients with high tumor hCtr1 expression (P<0.001). High hCtr1 and low ATP7A expression were each favorable prognostic factors subsequent to chemotherapy for patients with resected NSCLC. Multivariate analysis revealed that high hCtr1 expression combined with low ATP7A expression, good tumor differentiation and female gender were all favorable independent predictive and prognostic factors for patients with resected NSCLC following chemotherapy. High hCtr1 expression combined with low ATP7A expression was associated with an improved prognosis in patients with resected NSCLC that received platinum-based chemotherapy. Surgery combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy may improve the survival time of patients with NSCLC.

Copper transporter 1 (CTR1), copper transporter 2 (CTR2), copper-transporting p-type adenosine triphosphatase 1 and 2 (ATP7A and ATP7B) are key mediators of cellular cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin accumulation. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the relation of CTR1, CTR2, ATP7A and ATP7B to overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free survival (DFS) and treatment response (TR) of cancer patients who received chemotherapy based on published literatures, the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets. Hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) were pooled using random-effect models. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were conducted; heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed. Twelve literatures and eight datasets with 2149 patients were included. Our results suggested that high CTR1 expression was associated with favorable OS, PFS, DFS and TR in cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy with acceptable heterogeneity. The relationship of CTR1 to cancer prognosis remained significant in the subgroup of patients who underwent platinum-based chemotherapy, the patients with ovarian cancer and those with lung cancer. The significance of these relationships was not influenced by geological region of publication, data origin or detection method. However, there was no evidence for relation of CTR2, ATP7A or ATP7B to OS, PFS, DFS or TR. Test of publication bias and sensitivity analysis suggested a robustness of all the summary effect estimates. In conclusion, high CTR1 level predicts prolonged survival and enhanced response to chemotherapy in cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy and CTR1 might be a potential target to circumvent chemotherapy resistance.

ATP7A is a copper-transporting P-type adenosine triphosphatase whose loss of function leads to the Menkes disease, an X-linked copper metabolism multi-organ disorder (1 in 100.000 births). Here we document our experience with the ATP7A linked diseases in Italy. We analyzed the exonic structure of the ATP7A gene in 25 unrelated Italian families and studied the variants of unknown significance. We identified 22 different DNA alterations, 13 of which first reported in this study. The classical Menkes phenotype was present in 21 of the 25 families and was linked with highly damaging mutations (7 nonsense; 4 frame-shift; 2 small in-frame deletions, 2 splice site alterations, 2 gross deletions, and 1 gross duplication). Of the 4 cases with milder variants of the Menkes disease two had a missense mutation, one a leaky splice site alteration and one a nonsense mutation in exon 22. We determined in silico that all the mutations leading to the classical Menkes disease leave no residual activity of ATP7A including the apparently less severe in-frame deletions. Whereas milder forms of the disease are characterized by mutations that allow a limited residual activity of ATP7A, including the nonsense mutation observed.
