Licochalcone A inhibits EGFR signalling and translationally suppresses survivin expression in human cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Dysfunction of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling plays a critical role in the oncogenesis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we reported the natural product, licochalcone A, exhibited a profound anti-tumour efficacy through directly targeting EGFR signalling. Licochalcone A inhibited in vitro cell growth, colony formation and in vivo tumour growth of either wild-type (WT) or activating mutation EGFR-expressed NSCLC cells. Licochalcone A bound with L858R single-site mutation, exon 19 deletion, L858R/T790M mutation and WT EGFR ex vivo, and impaired EGFR kinase activity both in vitro and in NSCLC cells. The in silico docking study further indicated that licochalcone A interacted with both WT and mutant EGFRs. Moreover, licochalcone A induced apoptosis and decreased
