View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: Mutant EGFR (mEGFR) is a key driver of a subset of lung adenocarcinoma that is targetable by specific inhibitors; however, responses are transient, and patients almost always relapse, thus necessitating a deep understanding of the mechanisms involved in the action of mEGFR. Our studies are leading to the discovery of rewiring of EGFR signaling in mEGFR with a pivotal role played by protein kinase C (PKC). We find that patients with tumors having mEGFR often show a selection for very high levels... |
