Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by KRAS- and autophagy-dependent growth. Inhibition of the KRAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway enhances autophagic flux dependency, concurrent treatment with nonspecific autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) ERK-MAPK inhibitors can synergistically block PDAC However, CQ limited in terms specificity potency. To find alternative anti-autophagy strategies, here we performed a CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screen cell lines that identified...
