The RAS‐related GTPase RHOB confers resistance to EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitors in non‐small‐cell lung cancer via an AKT‐dependent mechanism

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Although lung cancer patients harboring EGFR mutations benefit from treatment with EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR‐TKI), most of them rapidly relapse. RHOB GTPase is a critical player in both lung carcinogenesis and the EGFR signaling pathway; therefore, we hypothesized that it could play a role in the response to EGFR‐TKI. In a series of samples from EGFR‐mutated patients, we found that low RHOB...
