Oncogenic KRAS Induces NIX-Mediated Mitophagy to Promote Pancreatic Cancer
1 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Activating KRAS mutations are found in nearly all cases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), yet effective clinical targeting of oncogenic KRAS remains elusive. Understanding of KRAS-dependent PDAC-promoting pathways could lead to the identification of vulnerabilities and the development of new treatments. We show that oncogenic KRAS induces BNIP3L/NIX expression and a selective mitophagy program...
