Predicting response to immune checkpoint inhibitor plus chemotherapy in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma following first-generation TKI resistance: a multicenter deep learning study

BackgroundPatients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung adenocarcinoma who develop resistance to first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibit 2 Materials and methods2.1 Study participants The patient selection process is shown in Figure 1. The initially identified screening cohort consisted of 750...

Inhibitory effects of 2′-nitroflavone and apigenin on EGFR signaling in breast cancer cells

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is frequently dysregulated in certain cancers, including breast cancer. Gefitinib, an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used in non-small cell lung cancer, was proposed for breast cancer treatment. The use of TKI in combination...

Association between vertebral endplate defects and low back pain: an integrative omics study revealing the role of lipotoxicity-induced EGFR/COX-2 signalling

AbstractStudy design Retrospective study. Objective To investigate the association between endplate defects and patient-reported outcomes and to further clarify the role of lipotoxicity-induced EGFR/COX-2 signalling in the pathogenesis of low back pain. Summary of background data As the hub of...

Efficacy and safety of antibody-drug conjugates in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer after tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundPatients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) inevitably develop resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kina Abstract Background: Patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) inevitably develop resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)....

Murine autoantigen-specific type 1 regulatory T cells promote oligodendrogenesis through amphiregulin-EGFR signaling

AbstractMultiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that results from oligodendrocyte loss and multifocal demyelination of the CNS white matter. Current therapies can suppress the progression of CNS inflammation but do not actively promote...

Design, synthesis, and biological characterization of a hydrophobic tagging EGFR degrader for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer

Abstract EGFR is a validated therapeutic target for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of gefitinib-based hydrophobic tagging (Hyt) degraders to induce EGFR degradation. Among them, B3 was identified as an active degrader, with...

A USP15/KRT17-associated 13-gene prognostic cluster and functional validation in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma

AbstractBackground EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) exhibits significant prognostic heterogeneity despite the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. To uncover the transcriptomic markers of rapid disease progression, we integrated clinical and transcriptomic data to develop robust prognostic biomarkers for risk stratification. Methods...

Multiparatopic antibodies overcome tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance by inducing lysosomal degradation of EGFR mutants

Acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) remains a major challenge in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To address this issue, we developed a novel therapeutic strategy based on multiparatopic antibodies that...
