YAP plays a crucial role in the EGFR-TKI resistance of lung adenocarcinoma.
YAP increases the expression of AXL that induces the resistance to EGFR-TKI in lung adenocarcinoma.
Increased YAP expression in gefitinib resistant cells is independent of the canonical Hippo pathway.
Combination of YAP inhibitor and EGFR-TKI can be helpful for overcoming the EGFR-TKI resistance.
