Herein we find that knockout of B7-H3 gene decreased cell survival and increased EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib susceptibility of both H3255 and HCC827 cells, two lung adenocarcinoma cell lines harboring EGFR L858R (exon 21) and Del E746-A750 (exon 19) mutations, respectively. The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is lung adenocarcinoma.
