miR-19a contributes to gefitinib resistance and epithelial mesenchymal transition in non-small cell lung cancer cells by targeting c-Met
Abstract Gefitinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is used as a first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, most NSCLC patients inevitably develop gefitinib resistance, and the mechanisms underlying this resistance are not ful...

Abstract Gefitinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is used as a first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

In this study, we show that miR-19a is significantly down-regulated in gefitinib-resistant NSCLC cell lines compared with gefitinib-sensitive cell lines. In addition, the down-regulation of miR-19a suppressed the expression of epithelial markers but induced the expression levels of mesenchymal markers.
