Abstract | Although lung cancer patients harboring EGFR mutations benefit from treatment with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI), most of them rapidly relapse. RHOB GTPase is a critical player in both lung carcinogenesis and the EGFR signaling pathway; therefore, we hypothesized that it could play a role in the response to EGFR-TKI In a series of samples from EGFR-mutated patients, we found that low RHOB expression correlated with a good response to EGFR-TKI treatment while a poor response correlated with high RHOB expression (15.3 versus 5.6 months of progression-free survival). Moreover, a better response to EGFR-TKI was associated with low RHOB levels in a panel of lung tumor cell lines and in a lung-specific tetracycline-inducible EGFRL858R transgenic mouse model. High RHOB expression was also found to prevent erlotinib-induced AKT inhibition in vitro and in vivo Furthermore, a combination of the new-generation AKT inhibitor G594 with erlotinib induced tumor cell death in vitro and tumor regression in vivo in RHOB-positive cells. Our results support a role for RHOB/AKT signaling in the resistance to EGFR-TKI and propose RHOB as a potential predictor of patient response to EGFR-TKI treatment. |
