PCC0208027, a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor, inhibits tumor growth of NSCLC by targeting EGFR and HER2 aberrations
Abstract PCC-0208027 is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has a strong inhibitory effect on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)- or HER2-driven cancers. The aim is to assess the anti-tumor activity of PCC0208027 and related mechanisms in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We examined the a...

| Sumario: | Abstract PCC-0208027 is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has a strong inhibitory effect on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)- or HER2-driven cancers. The aim is to assess the anti-tumor activity of PCC0208027 and related mechanisms in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We examined the activity of PCC0208027 on various mutated EGFRs, HER2, and HER4. MTT assays, flow cytometry, and Western blotting were used to examine the effects of PCC0208027 on NSCLC cells with different genetic characteristics and relevant molecular mechanisms. Nude mouse xenograft models with HCC827, NCI-H1975, and Calu-3 cells were used to evaluate the in vivo anti-tumor activity of PCC0208027. Results showed that PCC0208027 effectively inhibited the enzyme activity of EGFR family members, including drug-sensitive EGFR mutations, acquired drug-resistant EGFR T790M and EGFR C797S mutations, and wild-type (WT) HER2. PCC0208027 blocked EGFR phosphorylation, thereby downregulating downstream PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways and inducing G0/G1 arrest in NSCLC cells. PCC0208027 inhibited tumor growth in mouse xenograft models of HCC827, NCI-H1975, and Calu-3 cells. In summary, our findings suggest that PCC0208027 has the potential to become an oral antineoplastic drug for NSCLC treatment and is worthy of further development. |
