Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: BIM activation is essential for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-triggered apoptosis in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A deletion in the intron two of the BIM gene results in generation of alternatively spliced isoforms that impairs their apoptotic response to TKIs, conferring the NSCLC cells intrinsic resistance to these medications. Patients with...
