A Novel mTORC1/2 Inhibitor (MTI-31) Inhibits Tumor Growth, Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition, Metastases, and Improves Antitumor Immunity in Preclinical Models of Lung Cancer

Abstract

Our results highlight mTOR as a multifaceted regulator of tumor growth, metastasis, and immune-escape in EGFR/ALK-mutant and TKI-resistant NSCLC cells. The newly characterized mechanisms mediated by the rapamycin-resistant mTORC2 warrant clinical investigation of mTORC1/mTORC2 inhibitors in patients with lung cancer.
