- W2773454939 abstract "Objectives Mammalian cells differently express 4 RAS isoforms: H-RAS, N-RAS, K-RAS4A and K-RAS4B, which are important in promoting oncogenic processes when mutated. In lung cancer, the K-RAS isoform is the most frequently altered RAS protein, being also a difficult therapeutic target. Interestingly, there are two K-RAS splice variants (K-RAS4A and K-RAS4B) and little is known about the role of K-RAS4A. Most studies targeting K-RAS, or analysing it as a prognostic factor, have not taken into account the two isoforms. Consequently, the in-depth investigation of them is needed. Methods The present study analysed 98 specimens from advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) adenocarcinoma patients originated from Brazil. The alterations present in K-RAS at the DNA level (Sanger sequencing) as well as the expression of the splicing isoforms at the RNA (qRT-PCR) and protein levels (immunohistochemistry analysis), were evaluated. Possible associations between clinicopathological features and the molecular findings were also investigated. Results Our results showed that in the non-smoking population, the cancer incidence was higher among women. In contrast, in smokers and former smokers, the incidence was higher among men. Regarding sequencing results, 10.5% of valid samples presented mutations in exon 2, being all wild-type for exon 3, and the most frequently occurring base change was the transversion G → T. Our qRT-PCR and immunohistochemical analysis showed that both, K-RAS4A and K-RAS4B, were differently expressed in NSCLC tumour samples. For example, tumour specimens showed higher K-RAS4A mRNA expression in relation to commercial normal lung control than did K-RAS4B. In addition, K-RAS4B protein expression was frequently stronger than K-RAS4A in the patients analysed. Conclusion Our results highlight the differential expression of K-RAS4A and K-RAS4B in advanced adenocarcinoma NSCLC patients and underline the need to further clarify the enigma behind their biological significance in various cancer types, including NSCLC." @default.
