Cell type-dependent differential activation of ERK by oncogenic KRAS in colon cancer and intestinal epithelium
2 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Oncogenic mutations in KRAS or BRAF are frequent in colorectal cancer and activate the ERK kinase. Here, we find graded ERK phosphorylation correlating with cell differentiation in patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids with and without KRAS mutations. Using reporters, single cell transcriptomics and mass cytometry, we observe cell type-specific phosphorylation of ERK in response to transgenic KRAS...
