ABSTRACT: Despite the initial benefit of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting ALK gene fusions in non-small cell lung cancer, resistance to ALK inhibitors is almost inevitable. To determine the acquired resistance mechanism to ALK inhibition, we generated crizotinib-resistant ALK lines by chronically treating H3122 cells (driven by EML4-ALK) with an ALK inhibitor, crizotinib for approximately 3 months. RNA-seq and differential expression analyses were performed to determine the transcriptional changes of H3122-CR cells in comparison to parental H3122 cells. Because we demonstrated EGFR could mediate the early adaptive resistance to crizotinib, we further explored the mechanism that contributes to the resistance to the combination of crizotinib and afatinib. H3122-CAR (crizotinib and afatinib-resistant) cells were generated by treating them with a combination of crizotinib and afatinib for approximately 6 months and then profiled by RNA-seq to determine the associated transcriptional reprogramming.
