Four human NSCLC cell lines expressing different forms of the EGFR were investigated. Sensitivity of each cell line to the anti-proliferative effect of erlotinib was evaluated by methylene blue assay and is presented in
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC4385014 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 3
Evidence Type(s): Predictive, Oncogenic
Justification: Predictive: The passage discusses the sensitivity of different cell lines to erlotinib treatment, indicating that the presence of the L858R and T790M mutations correlates with reduced sensitivity to the drug, which is a predictive relationship regarding therapy response. Oncogenic: The L858R and T790M mutations are described in the context of their presence in NSCLC cell lines, suggesting their role in tumor development or progression, which aligns with the definition of oncogenic variants.
