Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Long-term enzalutamide exposure of AR-Vs positive PC cells triggers an AR-independent bypass through the transcriptional upregulation of EGFR. • Identification of an ELF1/EGFR/ERK positive feedback loop that sustains oncogenic signaling and drives enzalutamide resistance. • Pharmacological inhibition of EGFR using gefitinib restores enzalutamide (or mithramycin) sensitivity in resistant CRPC cells and patient-derived organoids. • Elevated EGFR protein expression correlates with high Gleason scores and serves as a robust predictor of shorter PFI and DFI in prostate cancer patients.
