Abstract

Mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) gene is an important tumor driver gene of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Drugs targeting MET 14 exon skipping mutation bring new hope to patients. MET inhibitors that are currently on the market or are about to be marketed include: crizotinib, cabozantinib, savolitinib and tepotinib. The objective response rate of MET inhibitors is high, and the safety is good. However, resistance of MET-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is inevitable, so it is necessary to pay attention to the study of drug resistance mechanism. In addition, the combined use of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/MET inhibitors and other drugs may play an important role in inhibiting and reversing drug resistance.

【中文题目:非小细胞肺癌MET基因突变的机制 及靶向药物研究进展】 【中文摘要:间质-上皮细胞转化因子(mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor, MET)基因是非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)的一种重要肿瘤驱动基因,针对MET 14外显子的跳跃突变的靶向治疗药物给患者带来新的希望。目前已经上市或者即将上市的MET抑制剂包括:克唑替尼、卡博替尼、沃利替尼和Tepotinib等。MET抑制剂的客观缓解率较高,并且安全性良好。但是,MET抑制剂的耐药不可避免,因此需要重视对于耐药机制的研究。肝细胞生长因子(hepatocyte growth factor, HGF)/MET信号通路抑制剂与其他药物的联合应用,对于抑制和逆转耐药可能发挥重要作用。】 【中文关键词:肺肿瘤;MET;靶向治疗;沃利替尼】.
