CAF-derived PAI-1 serves as an EGFR ligand and fuels KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation contributes to pancreatic cancer etiology, yet anti-EGFR therapy offers minimal clinical benefits in patients with KRAS mutations. We report that plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) derived from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) is selectively elevated in KRAS-mutant...

Radiation induces an EGFR-dependent lactate-epigenetic program underlying synergy with EGFR inhibition

AbstractPurpose Clinical studies have suggested a therapeutic synergy between EGFR-TKIs and radiotherapy; however, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood, particularly in tumors harboring the acquired resistance mutation EGFR T790M. Methods Using EGFR T790M-positive cell lines, patient-derived organoids (PDOs), and patient-derived...

TGF-alpha/EGFR signalling mediates retinoic acid-induced lung repair

Lung repair involves coordination of multicellular processes, including endothelial angiogenesis and epithelial repopulation. Retinoic acid (RA) signalling is crucial for lung development, homeostasis, and repair; however, the mechanisms through which RA drives repair are still unknown. It has previously been...

EGFR mimotope alleviates renal fibrosis by promoting EGFR/RPL6/PCBP2 ternary complex formation

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling plays a crucial role in renal fibrosis. We previously demonstrated that EGFR mimotope vaccination could alleviate renal fibrosis by restoring major histocompatibility complex class IB (MHC-IB) expression in renal tubular epithelial cells and promoting...

Valorization of Moringa oleifera pericarp via semi-synthetic sugar-based enone derivatives with anticancer potential: phytochemical isolation, cytotoxic evaluation, and dual EGFR/CAIX targeting

Moringa oleifera pericarp, an underutilized agro-waste, was investigated as a potential source of anticancer agents. In this study, bioassay-guided fractionation of the pericarp extract led to the identification of the ethyl acetate fraction as the most active fraction, showing notable...

Amphiregulin-mediated EGFR activation drives both intrinsic and acquired resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitors in KRAS G12C–mutant non-small cell lung cancer

Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS) G12C inhibitors have demonstrated clinical efficacy against KRAS G12C–mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, intrinsic and acquired resistance limit their therapeutic potential. Therefore, combination strategies are needed to address these limitations. While various...
