Since the advent of monoclonal antibodies against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in colorectal cancer therapy, the determination of RAS mutational status is needed for therapeutic decision-making. Most prevalent in colorectal cancer are KRAS exon 2 mutations (40% prevalence); lower prevalence is observed for KRAS exon 3 and 4 mutations (6%) and NRAS exon 2, 3, and 4 mutations (5%). The...
PURPOSE Previously we developed membrane-arrays as a promising tool to detect circulating tumor cells (CTC) with KRAS oncogene in patients with malignancies. This study was conducted to determinate the predictive values of CTCs with KARS mutation by membrane-arrays for metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with cetuximab plus chemotherapy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Seventy-six metastatic co...
Statins may inhibit the expression of the mutant KRAS phenotype by preventing the prenylation and thus the activation of the KRAS protein. This study was aimed at retrospectively evaluating the effect of statin use on outcome in KRAS mutant metastatic colorectal cancer patients (mCRC) treated with cetuximab. Treatment data were obtained from patients who were treated with capecitabine, oxalipla...
Mutant KRAS proto‑oncogene GTPase (KRAS) serves an important role in predicting the development, diagnosis, treatment and efficacy of targeted drug therapies for colorectal cancer. To improve the detection efficacy of trace amount of mutant KRAS, the locked nucleic acid‑based method was modified in the present study. Internal competitive amplification fragments were used to improve the inhibiti...
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest human malignancies and little progress has been achieved in its treatment over the past decades. Advances in our understanding of the biology of this disease provide new potential opportunities for treatment. Pancreatic cancer is preceded by precursor lesions, the most common of which are known as Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PanIN). PanIN lesi...
BACKGROUND To study how caretaker gene silencing relates to gatekeeper mutations in colorectal cancer (CRC), we investigated whether O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and Human Mut-L Homologue 1 (MLH1) promoter hypermethylation are associated with APC, KRAS and BRAF mutations among 734 CRC patients. METHODS We compared MGMT hypermethylation with G:C > A:T mutations in APC and KRAS...
Although activating mutations and gains in copy number are key mechanisms for oncogene activation, the relationship between the two is not well understood. In this study, we focused on KRAS copy gains and mutations in non-small cell lung cancer. We found that KRAS copy gains occur more frequently in tumors with KRAS activating mutations and are associated with large increases in KRAS expression...
KRAS mutational status has been shown to be a predictive biomarker of resistance to anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. We report the spectrum of KRAS mutation in 1506 patients with colorectal cancer and the identification and characterization of rare insertion mutations within the functional domain of KRAS. KRAS mutations are found in 44.5...
Therapies inhibiting receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are effective against some human cancers when they lead to simultaneous downregulation of PI3K/AKT and MEK/ERK signaling. However, mutant KRAS has the capacity to directly activate ERK and PI3K signaling, and this is thought to underlie the resistance of KRAS mutant cancers to RTK inhibitors. Here, we have elucidated the molecular regulation...
BACKGROUND Postmenopausal hormone (PMH) therapy represents a controversial colorectal cancer (CRC) preventive intervention. Because colorectal carcinogenesis is a heterogeneous process, we evaluated associations between PMH therapy and incident CRC in relation to KRAS mutation status in a population-based cohort of older women [Iowa Women's Health Study (IWHS)]. METHODS The IWHS enrolled 41,8...
