Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations in KEAP1 are found in more than 20% of non-small cell lung cancers. These mutations stabilize the transcription factor NRF2 to induce a battery of antioxidative and cytoprotective genes. Although NRF2 accumulation promotes cancer cell fitness, it also creates several targetable vulnerabilities. In this issue of Cancer Research, Gebru and colleagues reveal the dependency of KEAP1-mutant...
