BACKGROUND Galectin-3 (Gal-3) and active (GTP-bound) K-Ras contribute to the malignant phenotype of many human tumors by increasing the rate of cell proliferation, survival, and migration. These Gal-3-mediated effects result from a selective binding to K-Ras.GTP, causing increased nanoclustering in the cell membrane and leading to robust Ras signaling. Regulation of the interactions between Gal...
Children with the tumor predisposition syndrome, neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), develop optic pathway gliomas. The NF1 gene product, neurofibromin, functions as a negative regulator of RAS, such that NF1 inactivation results in RAS hyperactivation. Recent studies have highlighted the divergent biological and biochemical properties of the various RAS isoforms, which prompted us to examine the conseq...
Recent studies have suggested that aberrant K-ras signaling is responsible for triggering immunological responses and inflammation-driven tumorigenesis. Interleukins IL-17, IL-22, and IL-23 have been reported in various types of malignancies, but the exact mechanistic role of these molecules remains to be elucidated. Given the role of K-ras and the involvement of interleukins in colorectal tumo...
PURPOSE Mutations of the K-ras gene were identified as a prognostic marker in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). In addition, emerging data suggest that K-ras mutations are a negative predictor of clinical benefit from anti-epidermal growth factor receptor treatment in mCRC. Previously reported data suggest that the longer overall survival (OS) observed with bevacizumab treatment in mCRC is i...
Cholesterol-rich and caveolin-containing microdomains of the plasma membrane, termed "caveolae," have been implicated in signal transduction. However, the role of caveolae in regulating the Ras-MAP kinase cascade is incompletely understood. The mammalian Ras isoforms (H, N, and K) use different membrane anchors to attach to the plasma membrane and thereby may localize to functionally distinct m...
The object of this study is to evaluate the additional role of RAS mutation in detecting thyroid malignancy among BRAF mutation-negative nodules diagnosed as atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) on cytology.From December 2009 to December 2011, 202 BRAF mutation-negative thyroid nodules diagnosed as AUS/FLUS cytology in 201 patients were i...
PURPOSE While the dysregulation of specific pathways in cancer influences both treatment response and outcome, few current prognostic markers explicitly consider differential pathway activation. Here we explore this concept, focusing on K-Ras mutations in lung adenocarcinoma (present in 25%-35% of patients). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The effect of K-Ras mutation status on prognostic accuracy of exi...
Does small GTPase K-Ras4A have a single state or two states, one resembling K-Ras4B and the other N-Ras? A recent study of K-Ras4A made the remarkable observation that even in the absence of the palmitoyl, K-Ras4A can be active at the plasma membrane. Importantly, this suggests that K-Ras4A may exist in two distinct signaling states. In state 1, K-Ras4A is only farnesylated, like K-Ras4B; in st...
A glycine to valine substitution at codon 12 (G12V) in Kirsten-Ras (K-Ras) gene has been associated with reduced overall survival in colorectal cancer patients; however, the effect of other K-Ras mutations than G12V still remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the role of different K-Ras mutations on overall survival in a homogeneous, large patient cohort with standardized therapy and unif...
