Mechanistically, these effects of pitavastatin are associated with the YAP pathway, thereby inhibiting the downstream AKT/BAD-BCL-2 signaling pathway.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Our study provides a molecular basis for the clinical application of the lipid-lowering drug pitavastatin enhances the susceptibility of lung cancer to EGFR-TKI drugs and alleviates drug resistance. This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and lung cancer.
