High expression of the 110 kDa catalytic subunit of the class IA PI3K (PI3Kp110 alpha) may play an important role in cetuximab resistance exhibited by both colorectal cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the association between the expression of proteins in the PI3Kp110 alpha pathway and cetuximab resistance, and the antitumor effects of alpelisib (PI3K inhibitor) and cetuximab in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. The association between PI3Kp110 alpha protein expression levels and the tumor response to cetuximab was determined using immunohistochemistry. OSCC cells were treated with alpelisib, cetuximab, or in combination, and the effects were examinedin vitroandin vivo. PI3Kp110 alpha protein expression was significantly associated with the tumor response to cetuximab (P
