Title:

Chlorpromazine cooperatively induces apoptosis with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in EGFR-mutated lung cancer cell lines and restores the sensitivity to gefitinib in T790M-harboring resistant cells

Excerpt:
...we examined whether these findings are applicable to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). CPZ dose-dependently inhibited the growth/survival of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line, PC9 harboring an EGFR-activating (EGFR exon 19 deletion). In addition, CPZ not only suppressed the growth/survival of gefitinib (GEF)-resistant PC9ZD cells harboring T790 M, but also restored their sensitivities to GEF....These results suggest that CPZ has therapeutic potential for NSCLC with mutated EGFR by a novel mechanism different from conventional TKIs alone or in combination with other agents.
