Lentivirus-mediated silencing of HOTAIR lncRNA restores gefitinib sensitivity by activating Bax/Caspase-3 and suppressing TGF-α/EGFR signaling in lung adenocarcinoma
19 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
Secondary resistance is a major limitation in the efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment of lung cancer. Previous studies have shown that expression of the long non-coding RNA HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) is upregulated in lung cancer, which is correlated with metastasis and poor prognosis. However, the precise role of HOTAIR and its effects on gefitinib...
