Sentence |
denotes |
Inductive mechanisms limiting response to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy. |
| TextSentencer_T2 |
89-363 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Aberrant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling, a key feature of a variety of human malignancies, can drive a range of mechanisms underlying tumour growth and progression, including increased cell proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis and decreased apoptosis. |
| TextSentencer_T3 |
364-545 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Anti-EGFR therapies, as monotherapies and in combination with chemotherapy, have proved effective in inhibiting these processes both in the clinical and in the preclinical settings. |
| TextSentencer_T4 |
546-735 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, only a small cohort of patients have derived significant benefit from this therapy, with both de novo and acquired resistance to these agents evident in a number of recent studies. |
| TextSentencer_T5 |
736-872 |
Sentence |
denotes |
If we are to improve the effectiveness of such targeted therapies, then there is an urgent need to understand the resistance mechanisms. |
| TextSentencer_T6 |
873-1173 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here, we describe both non-genomic and genomic mechanisms of resistance to the selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib (IRESSA), which we have identified initially in an EGFR-positive tamoxifen-resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, but more recently in other EGFR-positive cancer types. |
| TextSentencer_T7 |
1174-1508 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Importantly, we show that gefitinib, in common with anti-hormonal agents, is not a passive bystander in the cellular response to drug treatment, but plays an active role in promoting signalling pathways that serve to limit its anti-tumour activity and maintain the cellular cohort from which acquired resistance can ultimately evolve. |
| TextSentencer_T8 |
1509-1800 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These findings indicate that inductive signalling is an important determinant of response to EGFR-targeted therapies and deciphering such pathways may provide us with the opportunity to design more effective strategies to combat resistance mechanisms and improve response to initial therapy. |
