Abstract excerpt
The TP53 tumor suppressor is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancers. For p53-targeted therapy, one of the strategies was targeting mutant p53 for degradation. In EGFR-mutated lung cancer patients, concurrent TP53 mutation was associated with faster resistance to EGFR-TKIs. In this study, we discovered that valproic acid (VPA), a widely prescribed antiseizure medication, had a synergic effect on...
