Mechanisms of KRAS inhibitor resistance in KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer harboring Her2 amplification and aberrant KRAS localization by Kohei Maruyama, Yuki Shimizu, Yumi Nomura, Tomoko Oh-hara, Yuki Takahashi, Satoshi Nagayama, Naoya Fujita, Ryohei Katayama

“…We found that KRAS-mutated CRC-PDCs can be divided into at least an EGFR pathway-activated group and a PI3K/AKT pathway-activated group. In the latter group, PDCs with PIK3CA major mutation showed high sensitivity to PI3K+mTOR co-inhibition, and a PDC with Her2 amplification with PIK3CA minor mutation showed PI3K-AKT pathway dependency but lost KRAS-MAPK dependency by cytoplasmic localization of KRAS. …”

Antioxidant Peptide Derived from Spirulina maxima Suppresses HIF1α-Induced Invasive Migration of HT1080 Fibrosarcoma Cells by Won Suk Kim, Won Kyo Jung, Sun Joo Park

“…HT1080 cells treated with a hypoxia-inducing agent, CoCl2, exhibited an increase in invasive migration and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is associated with an increase in the expression of hypoxia-induced factor 1α (HIF1α) accompanied by the activation of PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2. The inhibition of PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 with specific inhibitors diminished the CoCl2-induced increase in HIF1α expression and invasive cell migration. …”
