Oncogenic signalling confers tumour-progression advantages; thus, its pharmacological blockade is the best strategy for cancer chemotherapy. However, drug resistance and heterogeneous dependency of tumour hamper their therapeutic potential, suggesting the necessity for a new ubiquitous modality based on evading drug resistance. Here, we proposed adenovoaddiction tooncogenic signalling (Dead-On) concept, wherein specific blockade of target molecules forces cancer cells to develop dependency on an oncogenic signalling. In cervical squamous cell carcinoma cells, Aurora A/B dual blockade elicited rapid addiction to EGFR–Erk signalling, and its pharmacological/genetic inhibition synergistically enhanced anti-cancer activities in vitro, in vivo, and in a patient-derived organoid model. The signal activation was independent of EGFR genetic status, it was triggered by receptor accumulation on the plasma membraneviaRab11-mediated endocytic recycling machinery. These findings support our novel Dead-On concept which may lead to drug discovery as well as expand the adaptation of approved targeted drugs.
