Lipidomics reveals that sustained SREBP-1-dependent lipogenesis is a key mediator of gefitinib-acquired resistance in EGFR-mutant lung cancer

Abstract Patients with EGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been greatly benefited from gefitinib, however, the therapeutic has failed due to the presence of acquired resistance. In this study, we show that gefitinib significantly induces downregulation of Sterol Regulator Eleme...
