Nuclear Translocation of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor by Akt-dependent Phosphorylation Enhances Breast Cancer-resistant Protein Expression in Gefitinib-resistant Cells

TLDR
Light is shed on the role of nuclear EGFR in the sensitivity of wtEGFR-expressing cancer cells to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors and a putative molecular mechanism contributing to gefitinib resistance through BCRP/ABCG2 expression is deciphered.

Role of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) in cancer drug resistance.

TL;DR: Evidence is mounting that many cancers display subpopulations of stem cells that are responsible for tumor self-renewal, and stem cells frequently manifest the "side population" phenotype characterized by expression of BCRP and other ABC transporters, which may contribute to the inherent resistance of these neoplasms and their failure to be cured.

Landscape of EGFR Signaling Network in Human Cancers: Biology and Therapeutic Response in Relation to Receptor Subcellular Locations

TL;DR: An emerging line of research is outlined that uncovers and functionally characterizes several novel modes of EGFR signaling that take center stage in the cell nucleus, mitochondrion and other subcellular compartments and contributes to the rationale design for therapeutic strategy that overcomes tumor drug resistance.

The nuclear epidermal growth factor receptor signaling network and its role in cancer

TL;DR: The current knowledge of the nuclear EGFR signaling network is summarized, including how it is trafficked to the nucleus, the functions it serves inThe nucleus, and how these functions impact cancer progression, survival, and response to chemotherapeutics.

Activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor underlying responsiveness of non-small-cell lung cancer to gefitinib

TL;DR: A subgroup of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer have specific mutations in the EGFR gene which correlate with clinical responsiveness to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib, and these mutations lead to increased growth factor signaling and confer susceptibility to the inhibitor.

MET Amplification Leads to Gefitinib Resistance in Lung Cancer by Activating ERBB3 Signaling

TL;DR: It is proposed that MET amplification may promote drug resistance in other ERBB-driven cancers as well after it was found that amplification of MET causes gefitinib resistance by driving ERBB3 (HER3)–dependent activation of PI3K, a pathway thought to be specific to EGFR/ERBB family receptors.

Acquired Resistance of Lung Adenocarcinomas to Gefitinib or Erlotinib Is Associated with a Second Mutation in the EGFR Kinase Domain

TL;DR: Biochemical analyses of transfected cells and growth inhibition studies with lung cancer cell lines demonstrate that the T790M mutation confers resistance to EGFR mutants usually sensitive to either gefitinib or erlotinib, which should help guide the search for more effective therapy against a specific subset of lung cancers.
