An A13 Repeat within the 3'-Untranslated Region of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Is Frequently Mutated in Microsatellite Instability Colon Cancers and Is Associated with Increased EGFR Expression
Cancer Research, 10/06/09
Yuan Z et al. – Cell lines with an EGFR 3'–UTR mutation and that were wild–type (WT) for downstream signaling mediators in the Ras/BRAF and PIK3CA/PTEN pathways were sensitive to EGFR inhibition, whereas those harboring mutations in these signaling mediators were not. Furthermore, in cell lines WT for downstream signaling mediators, those with EGFR 3'–UTR mutations were more sensitive to EGFR inhibition than EGFR 3'–UTR WT cells, suggesting that this mutation provides a growth advantage to this subset of MSI colon tumors.
