BackgroundThe T790M mutation of epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a major cause of the acquired resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKIs) treatment for lung cancer patients. The Hippo pathway effector, TAZ, has emerged as a key player in organ growth and tumorigenesis, including lung cancer.ResultsIn this study, we have discovered high TAZ expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells harboring dual mutation and TAZ depletion sensitized their response to EGFR-TKIs. Mechanistically, knockdown of TAZ in T790M-induced resistant cells leaded to reduced anchorage-independent growthin vitro, tumor formation and resistance to gefitinibin vivo, correlated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and suppressed migration and invasion. Furthermore, we confirmed CTGF and AXL, novel EMT markers and potential therapeutic targets for overcoming EGFR inhibitor resistance, as directly transcriptional targets of TAZ.ConclusionsTaken together, this study suggests that expression of TAZ is an intrinsic mechanism of T790M-induced resistance in response to EGFR-TKIs. Combinational targeting on both EGFR and TAZ may enhance the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs in acquired resistance of NSCLC.
