Identification of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA Networks Linked to Non-small Lung Cancer Resistance to Inhibitors of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor.

ABSTRACT: Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors that act against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) show strong efficacy against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) involving mutated EGFRs. However, most such patients eventually develop resistance to EGFR-TKIs. Numerous researches have reported that messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) may be involved in EGFR-TKI resistance, but the comprehensive expression profile and competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network between mRNAs and ncRNAs in EGFR-TKI resistance of NSCLC are incompletely known. We aimed to define a ceRNA regulatory network linking mRNAs and non-coding RNAs that may mediate this resistance. Methods: Using datasets GSE83666, GSE75309 and GSE103352 from the Gene Expression Omnibus, we identified
