Abstract In this study, the impact of apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing catalytic subunit-like (APOBEC) enzyme APOBEC3B (A3B) on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-driven lung cancer was assessed. A3B expression in EGFR mutant (EGFRmut) non-small-cell (NSCLC) mouse models constrained tumorigenesis, while tumors treated with EGFR-targeted therapy associated treatment resistance. Analyses human NSCLC showed upregulation and revealed therapy-induced activation nuclear kappa (NF-κB) as an...
Abstract Oncogenic KRAS impairs antitumor immune responses. As effective strategies to combine inhibitors and immunotherapies have so far proven elusive, a better understanding of the mechanisms by which oncogenic drives evasion is needed identify approaches that could sensitize KRAS-mutant lung cancer immunotherapy. In vivo CRISPR–Cas9 screening in an immunogenic murine model identified promotes evasion, most notably via upregulation immunosuppressive COX2 cells. potently induced both mouse...
Abstract Mutant selective drugs targeting the inactive, GDP-bound form of KRAS G12C have been approved for use in lung cancer, but resistance develops rapidly. Here we an inhibitor, (RMC-4998) that targets RAS its active, GTP-bound form, to treat mutant cancer various immune competent mouse models. pathway reactivation after RMC-4998 treatment could be delayed using combined with a SHP2 which not only impacts tumour cell signalling also remodels microenvironment less immunosuppressive.

Abstract The recent approval of KRASG12C mutant-specific inhibitors has transformed the clinical practice lung cancer patients harboring mutations. However, data show that resistance develops rapidly after initial responses, suggesting combination therapies will be needed. Ideally, these combinations should not only overcome adaptive or acquired but also maintain even enhance positive immunomodulatory effects (G12Ci) have in tumor microenvironment (TME). Most G12Ci being tested trials target...
