Abstract excerpt
Half of NSCLC patients harbor epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, and their therapeutic responses are remarkably different from patients with wild-type EGFR (EGFR-WT) NSCLC. We previously demonstrated that the hedgehog inhibitor vismodegib (Vis) potentiates paclitaxel (PTX)-induced cytotoxicity via suppression of Bax phosphorylation, which promotes accumulation of mitochondrial damage and apoptosis...
