Abstract
We have identified a non-canonical role of0 Notch3 in response to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, whereby Notch3 associates with β-catenin, resulting in increased catenin beta-1 (CTNNB1, best known as β-catenin) stability and increased survival of drug persister cells (DPCs). Furthermore, combined treatment of an EGFR TKI with a β-catenin inhibitor demonstrated improved therapeutic outcomes in xenograft models.
