RNA sequencing of PC9 and four erlotinib-persister cells derived from PC9
Given the recent reports on the role of AXL in mediating resistance to EGFR-targeted therapy, we generated cell line models of Erlotinib-resistance to investigate the effect of AXL inhibitors on EGFR TKI resistance. For this, EGFR-mutant PC9 cells were passed through a persister bottleneck by applying strong drug selection pressure to generate drug-tolerant erlotinib persister cells. We created four Erlotinib-resistant clones from one parental population; S1-34, S2-10, S2-17 and S2-30. Whole exome and RNA sequencing analyses were performed to probe the differences in Erlotinib-resistance mechanisms present in these persister-derived Erlotinib-resistant cells. Overall design: 5 samples were analyzed: PC9, S1_34, S2_10, S2_17, and S2_30. Each sample was run only once.
