Figure 1 Locations of mesenchymal-epithelial transition gene exon 14 skipping (METex14) alterations found in 12 patients with NSCLC. (A) Schematic diagram of METex14 alterations. The position of each METex14 skipping mutation is displayed in relation to the MET gene. Deletion and point mutations are shown in red. The nucleotide position of each mutation is shown on the right. (B) Sanger sequencing histograms of METex14 alterations. Journal of Thoracic Oncology , DOI: ( /j.jtho ) Copyright © 2017 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier survival curves for (A) freedom from recurrence and (B) overall survival based on driver mutations in patients with stages I to IIIA lung adenocarcinoma without preoperative treatment or targeted therapies. Pan-negative indicates negative status for EGFR mutation, anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene (ALK) fusion, ROS1, Ret Proto-Oncogene (RET) fusion, and mesenchymal-epithelial transition gene (MET) exon 14 skipping (METex14).

Figure 4 Effects of synthetic small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting the junction of mesenchymal-epithelial transition gene exon 14 (METex14) skipping–positive fusion mRNA. (A) Western blotting showing a smaller mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) precursor (black arrowhead) in two METex14 skipping–positive cell lines (H596 and Hs746T) than in two cell lines with wild-type (WT) MET (MKN-45 and 293FT). (B) Decreased expression of METex14 skipping–positive fusion mRNA after transfection with two siRNA candidates (1 and 10, with 8 as a negative control) (100 pM) in H596, Hs746T, MKN-45, and 293FT cell lines. Western blot analysis of MET protein, phosphorylated (p) MET (p-MET), AKT, p-AKT, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), p-STAT3, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and p-ERK performed on lysates of H596, Hs746T, MKN-45, and 293FT cell lines. β-actin was used as a loading control. Decreased expression of METex14 skipping–positive fusion mRNA and WT MET after transfection of H596, Hs746T, and MKN-45 cell lines with two siRNA candidates (1 and 10, with 8 as a negative control) (100 pM) for 2 days. Knockdown efficiency was measured quantitatively by qRT-PCR. METex14 skipping–positive fusion mRNA and WT MET expression were normalized to constitutive glucuronidase, beta gene (GUSB) expression. (C) H596, Hs746T, and MKN-45 cells were transfected with two siRNA candidates (1 and 10), and inhibition of proliferation was determined by WST assay. Transfection with siRNA candidate 10 significantly inhibited proliferation of H596 and Hs746T but not MKN-45 cells from day 6 onward. (D) H596 cells were treated with crizotinib (5 μM) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) (5 ng/mL) in the presence of nontarget siRNA (Scramble [Sc]) or two siRNA candidates (1 and 10) for 4 days and were determined by WST assay. **p = indicates that significant difference was observed as compared with control groups treated with nontarget siRNA.
