Many cancers harbor oncogenic mutations of KRAS. Effectors mediating cancer progression, invasion, and metastasis in KRAS-mutated cancers are only incompletely understood. Here we identify cancer cell-expressed murine TRAIL-R, whose main function ascribed so far has been the induction of apoptosis as a crucial mediator of KRAS-driven cancer progression, invasion, and metastasis and in vivo Rac-1 activation. Cancer cell-restricted genetic ablation of murine TRAIL-R in autochthonous KRAS-driven models of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) reduces tumor growth, blunts metastasis, and prolongs survival by inhibiting cancer cell-autonomous migration, proliferation, and invasion. Consistent with this, high TRAIL-R2 expression correlates with invasion of human PDAC into lymph vessels and with shortened metastasis-free survival of KRAS-mutated colorectal cancer patients.
许多癌症都存在KRAS的致癌突变。目前,对于介导KRAS突变型癌症进展、侵袭和转移的效应分子,人们的了解还不全面。在此,我们鉴定出癌细胞表达的小鼠TRAIL-R,其目前已知的主要功能是诱导细胞凋亡,它是KRAS驱动的癌症进展、侵袭和转移以及体内Rac-1激活的关键介质。在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)和胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)的KRAS驱动的原位模型中,对小鼠TRAIL-R进行癌细胞特异性基因敲除,可通过抑制癌细胞自主迁移、增殖和侵袭来减少肿瘤生长、抑制转移并延长生存期。与此一致的是,TRAIL-R2高表达与人类PDAC侵犯淋巴管以及KRAS突变型结直肠癌患者无转移生存期缩短相关。
