SYK-mediated epithelial cell state is associated with response to c-Met inhibitors in c-Met-overexpressing lung cancer by Ji Zhou, Xu-Chao Zhang, Shan Xue, Mengdi Dai, Yueliang Wang, Xia Peng, Jianjiao Chen, Xinyi Wang, Yanyan Shen, Hui Qin, Bi Chen, Yu Zheng, Xiwen Gao, Zuoquan Xie, Jian Ding, Handong Jiang, Yi-Long Wu, Meiyu Geng, Jing Ai

“…An optimized strategy for accurately classifying patients with c-Met overexpression for decision-making regarding c-Meti treatment is lacking. Herein, we found that SYK regulates the plasticity of cells in an epithelial state and is associated with their sensitivity to c-Metis both in vitro and in vivo in PDX models with c-Met overexpression regardless of MET gene status. …”
