The Ras Gene02:38

The Ras Gene

7.0K
The Ras-gene-encoded proteins are regulators of signaling pathways controlling cell proliferation, differentiation, or cell survival. The Ras-gene family in humans constitutes three primary members—the HRas, NRas, and KRas. These genes code for four functionally distinct yet closely related proteins—the HRas, NRas, KRas4A, and KRas4B. The involvement of mutant Ras genes in human cancer was first discovered in 1982 and is among the most common causes of human tumorigenesis.

Small GTPases - Ras and Rho01:24

Small GTPases - Ras and Rho

5.1K
Ras and Rho are small monomeric GTPases that act downstream of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and regulate various cellular processes. These GTPases switch between active and inactive states by binding to guanine nucleotides.
Three regulatory proteins control their activity:

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

5.0K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.7K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

MAPK Signaling Cascades01:07

MAPK Signaling Cascades

7.8K
Mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAPK pathway, activates three sequential kinases to regulate cellular responses such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The canonical MAPK pathway starts with a mitogen or growth factor binding to an RTK. The activated RTKs stimulate Ras, which recruits Raf or MAP3 Kinase (MAPKKK), the first kinase of the MAPK signaling cascade. Raf further phosphorylates and activates MEK or MAP2 Kinases (MAPKK), which in turn phosphorylates MAP...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

4.6K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Summary

KRASG12C inhibitors show initial efficacy but resistance develops. New strategies targeting both inactive and active RAS states, including dual inhibition and multi-selective inhibitors, can overcome resistance mechanisms in KRAS-mutant tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Drug Discovery

Background:

  • KRASG12C inhibitors targeting the inactive GDP-bound state are effective but face transient responses due to resistance.
  • RAS(ON) G12C-selective inhibitors targeting the active GTP-bound state, like elironrasib, are emerging as new therapeutic options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate resistance mechanisms to both KRASG12C(OFF) and RAS(ON) G12C-selective inhibitors.
  • To identify therapeutic strategies to overcome acquired resistance in KRAS-mutant cancers.

Main Methods:

  • Generation of resistant cell lines and patient-derived xenograft models.
  • Multi-omics analysis including phosphoproteomics, whole exome sequencing, and RNA-sequencing.
  • Functional validation using small molecule and CRISPR screens, and RAS(ON) inhibitors.

Main Results:

  • Two models reactivated RAS signaling via KRASG12C amplification or NRASG13R mutation, responding to dual RAS(ON) G12C-selective and multi-selective inhibition (RMC-4998, RMC-7977).
  • Two models developed resistance via increased receptor tyrosine kinase activity, showing sensitivity to RAS-GTP inhibition by RMC-7977.
  • One model exhibited epithelial-mesenchymal transition and reliance on cell cycle kinases and DNA damage response proteins.

Conclusions:

  • Identified diverse resistance mechanisms to KRASG12C inhibitors, mirroring clinical observations.
  • Demonstrated that RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitors can overcome a significant subset of resistance, as monotherapy or in combination.
