In the present, we aimed to investigate the effect of anlotinib on the potential reversal of osimertinib resistance by inhibiting the formation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and angiogenesis. In a clinical case, anlotinib reversed osimertinib resistance in Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We performed an immunohistochemical experiment on tumor tissues from three non-small cell lung cancer patients exhibiting osimertinib resistance to analyze alterations in the expression levels of EMT markers and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) before and after osimertinib resistance. The results revealed the downregulation of E-cadherin, coupled with the upregulation of vimentin and VEGFA in tumor tissues of patients exhibiting osimertinib resistance, compared with the expression in tissues of patients before taking osimertinib. Subsequently, we established osimertinib-resistant cell lines and found that the osimertinib-resistant cells acquired the EMT features. Then, we analyzed the synergistic effects of the combination therapy to verify whether anlotinib could reverse osimertinib resistance by inhibiting EMT. The expression levels of VEGFA and micro-vessels were analyzed in the combination group . Finally, we explored the reversal of osimertinib resistance in combination with anlotinib with 20 nude mice. The combined treatment of osimertinib and anlotinib effectively prevented the metastasis of resistant cells, which also inhibited tumor growth, exerted anti-tumor activity, and ultimately reversed osimertinib resistance in mice. The co-administration of osimertinib and anlotinib demonstrated their synergistic efficacy in inhibiting EMT and angiogenesis in three NSCLC patients, ultimately reversing osimertinib resistance.

Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) are the recommended front-line therapy for treatment-naïve patients with advanced stage EGFR mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), with better tolerance and outcomes compared to chemotherapy. However, patients inevitably develop resistance to EGFR-TKI. The extent of progression free survival depends on intrinsic or acquired on-target/off-target mechanisms of EGFR-TKI resistance.

Article Synopsis
- Ion channels play a crucial role in regulating ion flow across cell membranes and have become a key focus in cancer therapy due to their influence on cancer cell behaviors like proliferation and drug resistance.
- Dysregulated ion channels, such as abnormal sodium and potassium channels, are linked to chemotherapy sensitivity, while calcium channels contribute to resistance in specific lung cancer types, and ferrous ions can make breast cancer cells more susceptible to treatment.
- The review highlights the potential of using ion channel blockers or modulators to improve the effectiveness of anticancer drugs and presents a hopeful strategy for addressing drug resistance in cancer treatments.

Third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is the standard therapy for patients harboring T790M after first-generation EGFR-TKI resistance. However, the impact of acquired EGFR amplification on the efficacy of third-generation EGFR-TKI against T790M remains uncertain. We aimed to investigate whether the presence of acquired EGFR amplification after first-generation EGFR-TKI resistance influences the efficacy of third-generation EGFR-TKI in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
