Aberrant activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)is a driving force for cancer growth in a subgroup of non-small cell lung cancer *** patients can be identified by the presence of activating EGFR *** three generations of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and European Medicine *** paper reviews the structure of EGFR and the downstream signaling pathways of EGFR and describes the mechanisms of intrinsic and acquired resistance against *** mechanisms include secondary or tertiary mutations in EGFR,the activation of bypassing signaling pathways or a histological transformation to small cell lung ***,drug efflux transporters will affect the cellular accumulation of EGFR-TKIs and penetration of the first generation of EGFR-TKI into the *** sequestration of some EGFR-TKIs may also prevent the drugs to reach their *** conclusion,resistance to EGFR-TKIs is multifactorial,including primary and acquired mutations in the EGFR gene,activation of bypassing pathways and limited uptake of drugs in the cells or target *** pharmacological studies are needed in order to develop new specific compounds targeted to overcome new resistance mechanisms in order to enable a personalized treatment approach.

Aim:Because mutations of splicing factor 3B subunit-1(SF3B1)have been identified in 4%of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)patients,we investigated the activity of new potential inhibitors of SF3B1 in combination with gemcitabine,one of the standard drugs,in PDAC cell ***:One imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivative(IS1)and three indole derivatives(IS2,IS3 and IS4),selected by virtual screening from an in-house library,were evaluated by the sulforhodamine-B and wound healing assay for their cytotoxic and antimigratory activity in the PDAC cells SUIT-2,Hs766t and Panc05.04,the latter harbouring the SF3B1 *** effects on the splicing pattern of proto-oncogene recepteur d’origine nantais(RON)and the gemcitabine transporter human equilibrative nucleoside transporter-1(hENT1)were assessed by PCR,while the ability to reduce tumour volume was tested in spheroids of primary PDAC ***:The potential SF3B1 modulators inhibited PDAC cell proliferation and prompted induction of cell *** compounds showed an interesting anti-migratory ability,associated with splicing RON/ΔRON shift in SUIT-2 cells after 24 h ***,IS1 and IS4 potentiated the sensitivity to gemcitabine in both conventional 2D monolayer and 3D spheroid cultures,and these results might be explained by the statistically significant increase in hENT1 expression(P<0.05 *** control cells),potentially reversing PDAC ***:These results support further studies on new SF3B1 inhibitors and the role of RON/hENT1 modulation to develop effective drug combinations against PDAC.
