We report that mouse LSL-Kras;Trp53 (KP)-mediated lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) tumorigenesis can proceed through both PKCι-dependent and PKCι-independent pathways. The predominant pathway involves PKCι-dependent transformation of bronchoalveolar stem cells (BASCs). However, KP mice harboring conditional knock out Prkci alleles (KPI mice) develop LADC tumors through PKCι-independent transformation of Axin2 alveolar type 2 (AT2) stem cells. Transformed growth of KPI, but not KP, tumors is blocked by Wnt pathway inhibition in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, a KPI-derived genomic signature predicts sensitivity of human LADC cells to Wnt inhibition, and identifies a distinct subset of primary LADC tumors exhibiting a KPI-like genotype. Thus, LADC can develop through both PKCι-dependent and PKCι-independent pathways, resulting in tumors exhibiting distinct oncogenic signaling and pharmacologic vulnerabilities.
我们报告称,小鼠 LSL-Kras;Trp53 (KP)介导的肺腺癌 (LADC) 肿瘤发生可以通过 PKCι 依赖和 PKCι 非依赖途径进行。主要途径涉及 PKCι 依赖性的支气管肺泡干细胞 (BASCs) 转化。然而,携带条件敲除 Prkci 等位基因 (KPI 小鼠) 的 KP 小鼠通过 Axin2 肺泡 II 型 (AT2) 干细胞的 PKCι 非依赖性转化发展为 LADC 肿瘤。体外和体内实验表明,Wnt 通路抑制可阻断 KPI 而非 KP 肿瘤的转化生长。此外,KPI 衍生的基因组特征预测了人类 LADC 细胞对 Wnt 抑制的敏感性,并确定了一组具有 KPI 样基因型的独特原发性 LADC 肿瘤亚群。因此,LADC 可以通过 PKCι 依赖和 PKCι 非依赖途径发展,导致肿瘤表现出不同的致癌信号和药物敏感性。
