TL;DR

Epigenetic reprogramming accompanies the transition to an osimertinib-tolerant state in EGFR-mutant HCC827 cells, and targeting HDACs and sirtuins may represent a promising strategy to eliminate DTP subpopulations and delay or prevent acquired resistance.

Transcriptomic profiling of lineage transformation and actionable therapy opportunities in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer evolving to small cell lung cancer

The immune landscape of T-SCLC is more immunosuppressed than EGFRm LUAD, yet more immunologically active than that of P-SCLC, and this immune profile provides a rationale for integrating immunotherapy with chemotherapy in T-SCLC.

ST6GAL1 promotes cancer stem-like cell-associated paclitaxel resistance through the EGFR-mTOR-SOX2/BMI1 axis in non-small cell lung cancer

ST6GAL1-mediated α2,6-sialylation of EGFR contributes to the maintenance of CSLC-associated paclitaxel resistance through mTOR-SOX2/BMI1 signaling, which identifies ST6GAL1-dependent EGFR sialylation as a potential therapeutic target in CSLC-associated chemoresistance.

Epigenetically driven GAS2L3 enforces non-canonical cell cycle progression to promote osimertinib resistance in lung adenocarcinoma

These results uncover a metabolism-epigenetics–cell cycle interface that may represent a therapeutic vulnerability in EGFR-mutant LUAD and identify a glycolysis–H4K8la–GAS2L3 axis that drives noncanonical cell-cycle reprogramming independently of classical Cyclin–CDK activation, thereby promoting acquired osimertinib r...

Epigenetic Repression of TP53 Transcription Underlies Cancer Cell Persistence for Carboplatin Resistance in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Results demonstrate for the first time that TP53 expression is dynamically regulated at the transcriptional level through promoter methylation related to the drug tolerance, emphasizing that epigenetic silencing, rather than exclusive genetic loss-of-function, contribute to platinum resistance and underscore the therap...

Vitamin C selectively eliminates erlotinib-induced drug-tolerant persister cells via CERK and KRT82 regulation in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer

Despite the efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) erlotinib in EGFR -mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, a subset of drug-tolerant persister (DTP) cells remains. While protein alterations unique to DTPs are crucial for their survival, the mechanisms re...
