  • Title: Metabolic networks in mutant KRAS-driven tumours: tissue specificities and the microenvironment.
    Author: Kerk SA, Papagiannakopoulos T, Shah YM, Lyssiotis CA.
    Journal: Nat Rev Cancer; 2021 Aug; 21(8):510-525. PubMed ID: 34244683.
    Abstract:
    Oncogenic mutations in KRAS drive common metabolic programmes that facilitate tumour survival, growth and immune evasion in colorectal carcinoma, non-small-cell lung cancer and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. However, the impacts of mutant KRAS signalling on malignant cell programmes and tumour properties are also dictated by tumour suppressor losses and physiological features specific to the cell and tissue of origin. Here we review convergent and disparate metabolic networks regulated by oncogenic mutant KRAS in colon, lung and pancreas tumours, with an emphasis on co-occurring mutations and the role of the tumour microenvironment. Furthermore, we explore how these networks can be exploited for therapeutic gain.
