Abstract excerpt
Extracellular tumor-derived DNA (tDNA) has emerged as an important biomarker for cancer diagnosis and monitoring. A better understanding of the mechanisms controlling the abundance of tDNA could help improve biomarker and treatment strategies. In this study, we identified oncogenic KRAS as a critical regulator of tDNA levels. Mutant KRAS promoted tDNA clearance by inducing the tetraspanin CD9, which recruited...
