Autocrine IGF1 signaling mediates pancreatic tumor cell dormancy in the absence of oncogenic drivers

ABSTRACT: Mutant KRAS and c-MYC are oncogenic drivers and rational therapeutic targets for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. While tumor growth and homeostasis is largely dependent on these oncogenes, a few residual cancer cells are able to survive the ablation of mutant KRAS and c-MYC. By performing a genome-wide gene expression analysis of in vivo-derived bulk tumor cells and residual cancer cells lacking the expression of mutant KRAS or c-MYC, we have identified an increase in autocrine IGF1/AKT signaling as a common survival mechanism in dormant cancer cells. The pharmacological inhibition of IGF-1R reduced residual disease burden and cancer recurrence, suggesting this molecular pathway is crucial for the survival of cancer cells in the absence of the primary oncogenic drivers.

KRAS drives immune evasion in a genetic model of pancreatic cancer

Project description:We used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to inactivate KRAS in pancreatic cancer cells and isolated cell populations that still produce tumors in mice. We show that the malignant phenotype of KRAS knockout cells is stable. However, KRAS deficient cancer cells fail to avoid detection and elimination by the host immune system, indicating that a key aspect of tumor maintenance by oncogenic KRAS is to promote immune evasion. Our study uncovers changes both in cancer cells and stromal immunoreactive cells attributable to KRAS expression. Complementation studies indicate that BRAF, AKT and MYC are causative drivers of KRAS-mediated immune suppression. These results show that combination treatments that both target KRAS signaling and boost antitumor immunity will be an effective strategy to treat PDAC.

Focal adhesion kinase-YAP signaling axis drives drug-tolerant persister cells and residual disease in NSCLC

Project description:Targeted therapy is effective in many tumor types including lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer mortality. Paradigm defining examples are targeted therapies directed against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) subtypes with oncogenic alterations in EGFR, ALK and KRAS. The success of targeted therapy is limited by drug-tolerant persister cells (DTPs) which withstand and adapt to treatment and comprise the residual disease state that is typical during treatment with clinical targeted therapies. Here, we integrate studies in patient-derived and immunocompetent lung cancer models and clinical specimens obtained from patients on targeted therapy to uncover a focal adhesion kinase (FAK)-YAP signaling axis that promotes residual disease during oncogenic EGFR-, ALK-, and KRAS-targeted therapies. FAK-YAP signaling inhibition combined with the primary targeted therapy suppressed residual drug-tolerant cells and enhanced tumor responses. This study unveils a FAK-YAP signaling module that promotes residual disease in lung cancer and mechanism-based therapeutic strategies to improve tumor response.

Oncogenic KRAS induces arginine auxotrophy in non-small cell lung cancer and confers a therapeutic vulnerability to SLC7A1 inhibition

Project description:The urea cycle is frequently rewired in cancer cells to meet the metabolic demands of cancer, yet our understanding about the regulatory mechanisms for this pathway in different types of cancer is very limited. In this study, we discover that oncogenic activation of KRAS in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) silences the expression of arginosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1), a urea cycle enzyme catalyzing the production of arginine from aspartate and citrulline, and thereby diverts the utilization of aspartate to pyrimidine synthesis to meet the high demand for DNA replication in KRAS-mutant NSCLC. Specifically, KRAS signaling facilitates a hypo-acetylated state in the promoter region of ASS1 gene in a histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3)-dependent manner, which in turn impedes the recruitment of the transcription factor c-MYC for ASS1 transcription. ASS1 suppression in KRAS-mutant NSCLC cancer cells impairs the biosynthesis of arginine and renders growth dependency on SLC7A1, an arginine transmembrane transport, to import extracellular arginine. Depletion of SLC7A1 in both patient-derived organoid and xenograft models obtains a substantial therapeutic benefit in inhibiting KRAS-driven NSCLC growth. Together, our findings uncover a new role of oncogenic KRAS in rewiring urea cycle metabolism and identify SLC7A1-mediated arginine uptake as a therapeutic vulnerability in treating KRAS-mutant NSCLC.

Highly metastatic claudin-low mammary cancers can originate from luminal epithelial cells

Project description:Claudin-low breast cancer represents an aggressive molecular subtype that is comprised of mostly triple-negative mammary tumor cells that possess stem cell-like and mesenchymal features. Little is known about the cellular origin and oncogenic drivers that promote claudin-low breast cancer. In this study, we show that persistent oncogenic RAS signaling causes highly metastatic triple-negative mammary tumors in mice. More importantly, the activation of endogenous mutant KRAS and expression of exogenous KRAS specifically in luminal epithelial cells in a continuous and differentiation stage-independent manner induces preneoplastic lesions that evolve into basal-like and claudin-low mammary cancers. Further investigations demonstrate that the continuous signaling of oncogenic RAS as well as regulators of EMT play a crucial role in the cellular plasticity and maintenance of the mesenchymal and stem cell characteristics of claudin-low mammary cancer cells.

Transcription profiling of human lung epithelial cells ollowing oncogenic KRAS expression and TBK1 suppression or infection with oncogenic KRAS (G12V) - SuperSeries

Project description:The proto-oncogene KRAS is mutated in a wide array of human cancers, most of which are aggressive and respond poorly to standard therapies. Although the identification of specific oncogenes has led to the development of clinically effective, molecularly targeted therapies in some cases, KRAS has remained refractory to this approach. An alternative strategy for targeting KRAS is to identify gene products that, when suppressed or inhibited, result in cell death only in the presence of an oncogenic allele. Here we have used systematic RNA interference (RNAi) to detect synthetic lethal partners of oncogenic KRAS and found that the non-canonical IkB kinase, TBK1, was selectively essential in cells that harbor mutant KRAS. Suppression of TBK1 induced apoptosis specifically in human cancer cell lines that depend on oncogenic KRAS expression. In these cells, TBK1 activated NF- B anti-apoptotic signals involving cREL and BCL-XL that were essential for survival, providing mechanistic insights into this synthetic lethal interaction. These observations identify TBK1 as a potential therapeutic target in KRAS mutant tumors and establish a general approach for the rational identification of co-dependent pathways in cancer. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE17643: Profiling of immortalized human lung epithelial cells following oncogenic KRAS expression and TBK1 suppression; GSE17671: Profiling of immortalized human lung epithelial cells following infection with oncogenic KRAS (G12V) Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series

Proteogenomic Network Analysis of Context-Specific KRAS Signaling In Mouse-to-Human Cross-Species Translation

Project description:The highest frequencies of KRAS mutations occur in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Therapeutically targeting downstream pathways mediating oncogenic properties of KRAS mutant cancers is limited by an incomplete understanding of the contextual cues modulating the signaling output of activated KRAS. We performed mass spectrometry on mouse tissues expressing wild-type or mutant KRAS to determine how tissue context and genetic background modulate oncogenic signaling. Mutant KRAS dramatically altered the proteomes and phosphoproteomes of pre-neoplastic and neoplastic colons and pancreases in a largely context-specific manner. We developed an approach to humanize the mouse networks with data from human cancer and identified genes within the CRC and PDAC networks synthetically lethal with mutant KRAS. Our studies demonstrate the context-dependent plasticity of oncogenic signaling, identify non-canonical mediators of KRAS oncogenicity within the KRAS-regulated signaling network, and demonstrate how statistical integration of mouse and human datasets can reveal cross-species therapeutic insights.

MYC controls a double-stranded RNA-dependent autocrine pathway that links nuclear mRNA splicing to pro-inflammatory signaling in pancreatic carcinoma

Project description:The oncogene MYC supresses TBK1 activity in a KRAS/mutant p53-driven pancreas carcinoma model and thereby interferes with the signaling that follows recognition of dsRNA species by the pattern recoginition receptor TLR3, allowing the tumor cells to evade recognition by the immune system.

MAX-mutant small cell lung cancers exhibit impaired activities of MGA-dependent ncPRC1.6.

Project description:The MYC axis is commonly disrupted in cancer, mostly by activation of the MYC family of oncogenes, but also by genetic inactivation of MAX, the obligate partner of MYC, and of the MAX partner, MGA, both of which are members of the polycomb repressive complex, ncPRC1.6. While the oncogenic properties of the MYC family have been extensively studied, the tumor suppressor functions of MAX and MGA and the role of the MYC genes in MAX-mutant cells remain unclear. To address these knowledge gaps, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation, RNA-sequencing and mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis in MAX-restituted and MYC oncogenic-transformed cell lines derived from human small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which is a high-grade neuroendocrine type of lung cancer. We found that MAX-mutant SCLC cells express ASCL1 and ASCL1-dependent targets, implying that these cells belong to the ASCL1-dependent group of SCLCs. In the absence of MAX, even after ectopic overexpression of MYC, we found no recruitment of MYC to the DNA. Furthermore, MAX reconstitution triggered pro-differentiation expression profiles that shifted when MAX and oncogenic MYC were co-expressed. Although ncPRC1.6 could be formed, the lack of MAX restricted global MGA occupancy, selectively driving its recruitment towards E2F6 motifs. Conversely, MAX restitution enhanced MGA occupancy and global gene repression of genes involved in different functions, including stem-cell and DNA repair/replication. Our data reveal that MAX-mutant SCLCs have ASCL1 characteristics, and are MYC-independent, and that their oncogenic features include deficient ncPRC1.6-mediated gene repression.

GSK-3alpha Promotes Oncogenic KRAS Function in Pancreatic Cancer via TAK1-TAB Stabilization and Regulation of Non-Canonical NF-kB

Project description:Mutations in KRAS occur in a variety of tumors of epithelial origin, driving the oncogenic phenotype.The NF-kB transcription factor pathway is important for oncogenic RAS to transform cells and to drive tumorigenesis in animal models. Recently TAK1, an upstream regulator of IKK which controls canonical NF-kB, was shown to be important for chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer and for regulating KRAS+ colorectal cancer cell growth and survival. Here we show that GSK-3alpha is upregulated by KRAS leading to interaction with TAK1 to stabilize the TAK1/TAB complex to promote IKK activity. Additionally, GSK-3alpha is required for promoting critical non-canonical NF-kB signaling in pancreatic cancer cells. Pharmacologic inhibition of GSK-3 suppresses growth of human pancreatic tumor explants, consistent with loss of expression of genes such as c-myc and TERT. These data identify GSK-3alpha as a key downstream effector of oncogenic RAS via its ability to coordinately regulate distinct NF-kB signaling pathways GSK-3 inhibition at 2 and 8 hours
