Relapsed disease after conventional cancer treatments is an obstacle in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-based targeted therapy. Here the authors show that tolerance to the EGFR inhibitor osimertinib in non-small-cell lung cancer is mediated by the effects of miR-147b on the tricarboxylic acid cycle and pseudohypoxia pathways, which can be manipulated with a miR-147b inhibitor.
