Erlotinib-Mediated Inhibition of EGFR Signaling Induces Metabolic Oxidative Stress through NOX4

Abstract: Redox regulation of EGFR signaling helps protect cells against oxidative stress. In this study, we investigated whether the cytotoxicity of an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, erlotinib (ERL), was mediated by induction of oxidative stress in human head and neck cancer (HNSCC) cells. ERL elicited cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo while increasing a panel of oxidative stress parameters which were all reversible by the antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine. Knockdown of EGFR using siRNA similarly increased these oxidative… Show more

“…17 These processes are known to be associated with the induction of autophagy 4 and thus, we hypothesized that autophagy would be activated in cancer cells that were treated with erlotinib. Furthermore, autophagy has been shown to be activated, to varying degrees, as a response to EGFR targeted therapies.…”

“…Following 24h erlotinib treatment, the levels of glucose uptake and GSH, as well as the activities of HK2 were sharply reduced (Fig 3a). 16,17 , but the same two metabolic phenotypes, corresponding to the same fractions of the total population, are still resolved (Supporting Fig S11b). This opens up biological questions that will be pursued elsewhere, but also points to the value of such integrated proteomic/metabolite single cell assays for uncovering new biology.…”
