- W3147966162 abstract "Cancer cells undergo lineage switching during natural progression and in response to therapy. NKX2-1 loss in human and murine lung adenocarcinoma leads to invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA), a lung cancer subtype that exhibits gastric differentiation and harbors a distinct spectrum of driver oncogenes. In murine BRAFV600E-driven lung adenocarcinoma, NKX2-1 is required for early tumorigenesis, but dispensable for established tumor growth. NKX2-1-deficient, BRAFV600E-driven tumors resemble human IMA and exhibit a distinct response to BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Whereas BRAF/MEK inhibitors drive NKX2-1-positive tumor cells into quiescence, NKX2-1-negative cells fail to exit the cell cycle after the same therapy. BRAF/MEK inhibitors induce cell identity switching in NKX2-1-negative lung tumors within the gastric lineage, which is driven in part by WNT signaling and FoxA1/2. These data elucidate a complex, reciprocal relationship between lineage specifiers and oncogenic signaling pathways in the regulation of lung adenocarcinoma identity that is likely to impact lineage-specific therapeutic strategies.When cells become cancerous they grow uncontrollably and spread into surrounding healthy tissue. As the cancer progresses different genes are switched on and off which can cause tumor cells to change their identity and transition into other types of cell. How closely tumor cells resemble the healthy tissue they came from can influence how well the cancer responds to treatment. Many lung cancers have an identity similar to normal lung cells. However, some turn off a gene that codes for a protein called NKX2-1, which leads to a type of cancer called invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (or IMA for short). Cells from this type of cancer develop an identity similar to mucous cells that line the surface of the stomach. But it was unclear how IMA tumor cells that developed from a mutation in the BRAF gene are affected by this loss in NKX2-1, and how transitioning to a different cell type impacts their response to treatment. To investigate this, Zewdu et al. studied lung cells from patients with IMA tumors driven by a mutation in BRAF and cells from mice that have been genetically engineered to have a similar form of cancer. This revealed that the NKX2-1 protein is needed to initiate the formation of cancer cells but is not required for the growth of already established BRAF-driven tumors. Further experiments showed that removing the gene for NKX2-1 made these cancer cells less responsive to drugs known as BRAF/MEK inhibitors that are commonly used to treat cancer. These drugs caused the IMA cancer cells to change their identity and become another type of stomach cell. This identity change was found to depend on two signaling pathways which cells use to communicate. This study provides some explanation of how IMA lung cancers that lack the gene for NKX2-1 resist treatment with BRAF/MEK inhibitors. It also shows new relationships between key genes in these cancers and systems for cell communication. These findings could lead to better therapies for lung cancer, particularly for patients whose tumor cells are deficient in NKX2-1 and therefore require specialized treatment." @default.
