Aberrant activation of eIF4E contributes to gastric cancer growth and resistance. MAPK-interacting kinases (MNKs) regulate eIF4E phosphorylation and activity in tumor but not normal cells and are potentially safe targets for the treatment of various cancers. Our work reveals that tomivosertib, a potent and highly selective dual MNK1/2 inhibitor, preferentially sensitizes gastric cancer to chemotherapy via suppressing MNK-eIF4E-β-catenin.

Methods: Base on TCGA dataset, the differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were identified between HNSCC and normal tissue.
