Colorectal cancer-related mutant KRAS alleles function as positive regulators of autophagy
The recent interest to modulate autophagy in cancer therapy has been hampered by the dual roles of this conserved catabolic process in cancer, highlighting the need for tailored approaches. Since RAS isoforms have been implicated in autophagy regulation and mutation of the KRAS oncogene is highly frequent in colorectal cancer (CRC), we questioned whether/how mutant KRAS alleles regulate autopha...
متن کاملKRAS 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 کاملNew strategies for treatment of KRAS mutant metastatic colorectal cancer.
The introduction of new cytotoxic agents and new targeted therapies has significantly broadened the therapeutic options for and the outcomes of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). The introduction of the anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies, cetuximab and panitumumab, has clearly contributed to this development. The concept of KRAS as a marker for resistance to ...
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 کاملMutant KRAS codon 12 and 13 alleles in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: assessment as prognostic and predictive biomarkers of response to panitumumab.
PURPOSE Panitumumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), has demonstrated significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with wild-type KRAS metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in studies 20050203 (first line), 20050181 (second line), and 20020408 (monotherapy). Mutations in KRAS codons 12 and 13 are recognized biomar...
