The temporal effect of RMC-7977 treatment on the PANC-1 cell total proteome


ABSTRACT: KRAS-driven pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is dependent on nutrient scavenging pathways to fuel the metabolic demands of proliferation. While acute KRAS loss results in downregulated macropinocytosis, we observed that this downregulation is transient and returns to basal levels in the absence of KRAS. Furthermore, we found that prolonged (7 d) pharmacological inhibition of RAS, KRAS, or MEK resulted in significant upregulation of macropinocytosis. Additionally, we demonstrated that PDAC cells with acquired resistance to RAS inhibitors exhibit a 2- to 10-fold increase in macropinocytosis. Our data suggest We hypothesize that upregulated macropinocytosis may mediate resistance to inhibitors of the RAS ERK-MAPK pathway.  We found that upregulated macropinocytosis in RAS inhibitor-resistant models is accompanied by increased albumin uptake and sensitivity to albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel). Mechanistically, RAS-inhibitor resistant models exhibit heterogeneous signaling that culminates in increased levels of RAC-GTP, a known driver of macropinocytosis. We conclude that RAS inhibitor-resistant PDAC models upregulate macropinocytosis, which may be exploited for improved delivery of albumin-bound chemotherapeutics.  Within this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of the pan-RAS inhibitor RMC-7977 on the global proteome of PANC-1 cells. We evaluated the effect at a short-term (24 hour), intermediate (168 hour), and resistant (RASi-R) time points using a global mass spectrometry-based approach.
