Targeting inosine metabolism to enhance EGFR-targeted therapy in lung adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Cancer Lett)
Furthermore, overexpression of PNP or using taminadenant, a A2aR-targeting inhibitor used in clinical trials, significantly enhances the EGFR-targeted therapeutic response in vitro, as well as in patient-derived organoids, cell-derived xenografts and mouse models bearing human EGFR-driven spontaneous lung tumor. Overall, our findings clarify the role of inosine metabolism in TKI resistance, highlighting a potential therapeutic strategy-targeting the inosine/A2aR axis-to counteract EGFR-TKI tolerance in LUAD treatment.
