KRAS mutant colorectal tumors
The treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains one of the largest hurdles in cancer therapeutics to date. The most advanced treatment option for mCRC patients are anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that bind to and inhibit the activity of EGFR. While the use of anti-EGFR mABs has had great impact in the treatment of mCRC, it has now been wide...
متن کاملNot just gRASping at flaws: Finding vulnerabilities to develop novel therapies for treating KRAS mutant cancers
Mutations in Kirsten rat-sarcoma (KRAS) are well appreciated to be major drivers of human cancers through dysregulation of multiple growth and survival pathways. Similar to many other non-kinase oncogenes and tumor suppressors, efforts to directly target KRAS pharmaceutically have not yet materialized. As a result, there is broad interest in an alternative approach to develop therapies that ind...
متن کاملKRAS mutant colorectal cancer gene signatures identified angiotensin II receptor blockers as potential therapies
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a life-threatening disease with high prevalence and mortality worldwide. The KRAS oncogene is mutated in approximately 40% of CRCs. While antibody based EGFR inhibitors (cetuximab and panitumumab) represent a major treatment strategy for advanced KRAS wild type (KRAS-WT) CRCs, there still remains no effective therapeutic course for advanced KRAS mutant (KRAS-MT) CRC p...
متن کاملA combination therapy for KRAS-mutant lung cancer by targeting synthetic lethal partners of mutant KRAS
The KRAS gene is frequently mutated in multiple cancer types, but it fell off the drug discovery radar for many years because of its inherent "undruggable" structure and undefined biological properties. As reported in the paper entitled "Suppression of KRas-mutant cancer through the combined inhibition of KRAS with PLK1 and ROCK" in Nature Communications, we performed a synthetic lethal screeni...
متن کاملDefeat mutant KRAS with synthetic lethality
Ras proteins are considered as the founding members of a large superfamily of small GTPases that control fundamental cellular functions. Mutationally activated RAS genes were discovered in human cancer cells more than 3 decades ago, but intensive efforts on Ras structure, biochemistry, function and signaling continue even now. Because mutant Ras proteins are inherently difficult to inhibit and ...
