Abstract
. Mechanistically, PPI can inhibit Rb through the p21/CDK2/Rb signaling pathway in NSCLC. A combination of PPI and Palb exerts a significant synergistic anti-cancer ability on NSCLC. Of note, PPI can reverse Palb drug resistance. Herein, we first time demonstrated PPI can disturb CDK2 function through upregulation of p21. The PPI effect on CDK2 provides a choice for a chemotherapeutic strategy for the elimination of NSCLC. Our study highlighted the clinical significance of simultaneously blocking of CDK2 and CDK4/6 for NSCLC treatment.
