EGFR inhibition augments the therapeutic efficacy of the NAT10 inhibitor Remodelin in Colorectal cancer by Yongbin Zheng, Dan Song, Ming Guo, Chenhong Wang, Mingzhen Ma, Gongcai Tao, Licui Liu, Xiaobo He, Fengyu Cao, Dan Luo, Qingchuan Zhao, Zhongyuan Xia, Yanxin An

“…Based on these findings, we demonstrated that dual inhibition of NAT10 and EGFR using Remodelin and the EGFR-specific monoclonal antibody cetuximab resulted in improved therapeutic efficacy compared to either drug alone. Moreover, we observed that 5-Fluorouracil promoted the interaction between NAT10 and UBR5, which increased the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of NAT10, leading to ERRFI1 downregulation and EGFR reactivation. …”
