Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is a signaling adaptor protein that interfaces with many pathways activated in lung cancer. It has been assumed that IRS-1 promotes tumor growth through its ability to activate PI3K signaling downstream of the insulin-like growth factor receptor. Surprisingly, tumors with reduced IRS-1 staining in a human lung adenocarcinoma tissue microarray displayed a significant survival disadvantage, especially within the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutant subgroup. Accordingly, adenoviral Cre recombinase (AdCre)-treated LSL-Kras/Irs-1(fl/fl) (Kras/Irs-1(-/-)) mice displayed increased tumor burden and mortality compared with controls. Mechanistically, IRS-1 deficiency promotes Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling via the IL-22 receptor, resulting in enhanced tumor-promoting inflammation. Treatment of Kras/Irs-1(+/+) and Kras/Irs-1(-/-) mice with JAK inhibitors significantly reduced tumor burden, most notably in the IRS-1-deficient group.
胰岛素受体底物1(IRS-1)是一种信号衔接蛋白,可与肺癌中激活的多种信号通路相互作用。一直以来人们认为,IRS-1通过激活胰岛素样生长因子受体下游的PI3K信号传导来促进肿瘤生长。令人惊讶的是,在人肺腺癌组织芯片中IRS-1染色减少的肿瘤显示出明显的生存劣势,尤其是在 Kirsten 大鼠肉瘤病毒癌基因同源物(KRAS)突变亚组中。因此,与对照组相比,经腺病毒 Cre 重组酶(AdCre)处理的 LSL-Kras/Irs-1(fl/fl)(Kras/Irs-1(-/-))小鼠表现出肿瘤负担增加和死亡率上升。从机制上讲,IRS-1 缺陷通过白细胞介素-22 受体促进 Janus 激酶/信号转导和转录激活因子(JAK/STAT)信号传导,导致促肿瘤炎症增强。用 JAK 抑制剂治疗 Kras/Irs-1(+/+)和 Kras/Irs-1(-/-)小鼠可显著降低肿瘤负担,在 IRS-1 缺陷组中最为明显。
