Abstract
Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is a synthetic lethal target in MTAP-deleted (MTAP-del) cancers. The MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor BMS-986504 exhibited potent and selective anti-tumor activity in MTAP-del preclinical models and demonstrated activity in MTAP-del patients without the toxicity associated with previous PRMT5 inhibitors. Here, we focused on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), ~22% of which are MTAP-del, and demonstrated that BMS-986504 suppressed PRMT5 function and cell growth in MTAP-del cells and xenograft models. CRISPR/Cas9 loss-of-function screens implicated co-targeting KRAS as a combination strategy. Concurrent inhibition of PRMT5 and KRASG12C/D enhanced and prolonged suppression of PDAC growth. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that PRMT5 inhibition disrupted RNA splicing of genes essential for PDAC growth. While PRMT5 and KRAS regulated distinct transcriptomes, they converged on pathways governing cancer cell growth and expression of PDAC-essential genes. These findings provide rationale for combined inhibition of PRMT5 and KRAS in MTAP-deleted/KRAS-mutant PDAC.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Research, published by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), is a journal that focuses on impactful original studies, reviews, and opinion pieces relevant to the broad cancer research community. Manuscripts that present conceptual or technological advances leading to insights into cancer biology are particularly sought after. The journal also places emphasis on convergence science, which involves bridging multiple distinct areas of cancer research.
With primary subsections including Cancer Biology, Cancer Immunology, Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms, Translational Cancer Biology, Cancer Landscapes, and Convergence Science, Cancer Research has a comprehensive scope. It is published twice a month and has one volume per year, with a print ISSN of 0008-5472 and an online ISSN of 1538-7445.
Cancer Research is abstracted and/or indexed in various databases and platforms, including BIOSIS Previews (R) Database, MEDLINE, Current Contents/Life Sciences, Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, Science Citation Index, Scopus, and Web of Science.
