ABSTRACT

We have recently demonstrated that protein kinase Cι (PKCι) promotes a stem-like, tumor-initiating cell phenotype in KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma by activating a novel ELF3-NOTCH3 signaling axis.Citation1 Combined PKCι and NOTCH inhibition was identified as a novel strategy for the treatment of KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma.
