Project description:RIT1 is a small GTPase of the RAS family and RIT1 mutations have been identified in lung cancer, leukemias, and the developmental disorder Noonan syndrome. Mutations in RIT1 lead to increased levels of this oncoprotein due to impaired proteolysis, resulting in dysregulation of RAS/MAPK and other pathways. Here we document the diversity of RIT1 mutations in human lung cancer and show that physiologic expression of RIT1 M90I is sufficient to drive autochthonous lung tumor development in vivo in mouse models. Due to the current lack of targeted therapies for this oncoprotein, we undertake different and complementary methods to either inhibit RIT1 directly or the downstream RAS/MAPK pathway. Through a proof-of-concept chemical biology approach, we discover that RAS tri-complex inhibitors bind directly to GTP-bound RIT1 and lead to tumor shrinkage. These molecules provide a feasible therapeutic approach for RIT1-driven lung tumors.

Project description:RIT1 drives lung oncogenic transformation and is an actionable target in lung adenocarcinoma [PDX]
| PRJNA1228518 | ENA
Project description:Aberrant activation of RAS oncogenes is a prevalent event in lung adenocarcinoma, with somatic mutation of KRAS occurring in ~30% of tumors. Recently, we identified somatic mutation of the RAS-family GTPase RIT1 in lung adenocarcinoma, but relatively little is known about the biological pathways regulated by RIT1 and how these relate to the oncogenic KRAS network. Here we present (quantitative proteomic and) transcriptomic profiles from KRAS-mutant and RIT1-mutant isogenic lung epithelial cells and globally characterize the signaling networks regulated by each oncogene.

Project description:Lung adenocarcinoma is comprised of distinct mutational subtypes characterized by mutually exclusive oncogenic mutations in RTK/RAS pathway members KRAS, EGFR, BRAF and ERBB2, and translocations involving ALK, RET and ROS1. Identification of these oncogenic events has transformed the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma via application of therapies targeted toward specific genetic lesions in stratified patient populations. However, such mutations have been reported in only ∼55% of lung adenocarcinoma cases in the United States, suggesting other mechanisms of malignancy are involved in the remaining cases. Here we report somatic mutations in the small GTPase gene RIT1 in ∼2% of lung adenocarcinoma cases that cluster in a hotspot near the switch II domain of the protein. RIT1 switch II domain mutations are mutually exclusive with all other known lung adenocarcinoma driver mutations. Ectopic expression of mutated RIT1 induces cellular transformation in vitro and in vivo, which can be reversed by combined PI3K and MEK inhibition. These data identify RIT1 as a driver oncogene in a specific subset of lung adenocarcinomas and suggest PI3K and MEK inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy in RIT1-mutated tumors.

Project description:The discovery of oncogene addiction in cancer has led to the development of over a dozen FDA-approved biomarker-driven therapies in lung adenocarcinoma, but many rare driver mutations remain untargeted. Somatic mutations of the “Ras-like in all tissues” (RIT1) gene are non-canonical driver events in lung cancer, occurring in ~2% of lung adenocarcinomas in a mutually exclusive fashion with KRAS and EGFR mutations. Patients with RIT1-mutant lung cancer lack targeted therapy treatment options, and a lack of pre-clinical models has hindered the development of therapeutic strategies for RIT1-mutant lung cancer. Here we report a new mouse model with inducible regulation of the cancer-associated RIT1M90I variant. We show that autochthonous expression of RIT1M90I in the lung weakly promotes cancer alone or in combination with loss of the p53 tumor suppressor. However, potent synergy between RIT1M90I and inactivation of Nf2 and p53 drives an aggressive lung cancer with 100% penetrance and short latency. We show this oncogenic cooperation is driven by synergistic activation of cJUN, a component of the AP-1 complex. Therapeutic inhibition of MEK and YAP/TEAD suppressed RIT1M90I-driven lung cancer in vitro and in vivo. These data identify YAP/TEAD as an important mediator of RIT1’s oncogenic potential and nominate TEAD as an important drug target in RIT1-mutant lung cancer.

Project description:Transcriptomic profiling of oncogenic RIT1 and activated YAP1 in lung epithelial cells
| PRJNA695256 | ENA
Project description:Human RIT1 was tagged with HA tag + N or C terminal ubiquitin (HA-Ubiqutin-RIT1 and HA-RIT1-Ubiqutin) and compared with empty vector (EV) or S35N/M90I RIT1 mutant (HA-RIT1 S35N/M90I). The constructs were expressed in human 293T cells and affinity purified using HA beads. RIT1 interacting proteins were compared by quantifying MS1 extracted chromatograms of peptides identified in conventional target-decoy database search.

Project description:Lo A, Holmes K, Mundt F, Moorthi S, Fung I, Fereshetian S, Watson J, Carr SA, Mertins P, Berger A. Aberrant activation of RAS oncogenes is a prevalent event in lung adenocarcinoma, with somatic mutation of KRAS occurring in ~30% of tumors. Recently, we identified somatic mutation of the RAS-family GTPase RIT1 in lung adenocarcinoma, but relatively little is known about the biological pathways regulated by RIT1 and how these relate to the oncogenic KRAS network. Here we present quantitative proteomic and transcriptomic profiles from KRAS-mutant and RIT1-mutant isogenic lung epithelial cells and globally characterize the signaling networks regulated by each oncogene. We find that both mutant KRAS and mutant RIT1 promote S6 kinase, AKT, and RAF/MEK signaling, and promote epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and immune evasion via HLA protein loss. However, KRAS and RIT1 diverge in regulation of phosphoproteins including EGFR, USO1, and AHNAK proteins. The majority of the proteome changes are related to altered transcriptional regulation, but a small subset of proteins are differentially regulated at the post-transcriptional level, including intermediate filament proteins, metallothioneins, and MHC Class I proteins, which are profoundly suppressed by oncogenic KRAS and RIT1 variants. These data provide the first global, unbiased characterization of oncogenic RIT1 network and identify the shared and divergent functions of oncogenic RIT1 and KRAS GTPases in lung cancer.
