Exportin 1 (XPO1), a nuclear export protein frequently overexpressed in PDAC, represents a potential vulnerability in KRAS-mutant cancers. We evaluated whether pharmacologic inhibition of XPO1 enhances therapeutic efficacy and durability of KRAS pathway inhibition. KRASG12D inhibitor- and pan-RAS inhibitor-resistant PDAC cellular models were generated and assessed for sensitivity to the second-generation XPO1 inhibitor Eltanexor. Antiproliferative synergistic effects of Eltanexor combined with MRTX1133, Zoldonrasib (RMC9805), or Daraxonrasib (RMC6236) were evaluated in PDAC 2D cultures, 3D spheroids, patient-derived organoids, and tumor-fibroblast co-culture models. Eltanexor sensitized KRAS inhibitor-resistant PDAC cells and synergistically enhanced growth suppression across multiple KRASG12D-mutant models. Combination treatment reduced clonogenic survival, disrupted 3D spheroid integrity, and significantly inhibited viability of patient-derived organoids. The in vivo efficacy of the combination was tested in PDAC cell-derived xenograft/allograft and patient-derived xenograft models. Combining sub-therapeutic doses of Eltanexor with allele-specific inhibitors or pan-RASi resulted in significant tumor regression, prevention of metastatic spread and prolonged survival in vivo. Notably, Eltanexor maintenance therapy suppressed tumor regrowth following RAS inhibitor withdrawal and preserved responsiveness upon re-challenge. Mechanistically, molecular and phosphokinome profiling showed that the combination broadened suppression of MAPK- and mTOR-associated signaling and reduced activity of multiple oncogenic kinases. In conclusion, XPO1 inhibitor Eltanexor enhances the efficacy and durability of KRAS and pan-RAS inhibition in PDAC models.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), ectopic and organized lymphoid aggregates that form at sites of chronic inflammation, have become key players in antitumor immunity. This review thoroughly covers the composition, multistage formation, and functional maturation of TLSs in HCC. We emphasize that the prognostic and predictive value of TLSs depends not only on their presence but also on their spatial localization, structural maturity, and specific immune cell composition. A high density of intratumoral TLSs (iTLSs), especially those with mature germinal centers containing B cells, T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, and dendritic cells (DCs), is strongly linked to better survival and lower recurrence rates. Additionally, TLSs serve as biomarkers for predicting favorable responses to ICIs in both neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. We also explore how locoregional therapies and specific chemokine axes induce or modulate TLS formation. Finally, we discuss the emerging field of non-invasive TLS evaluation using radiomics and advanced imaging techniques, which promises to guide patient stratification for immunotherapy.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting the programmed death-1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) axis can induce durable tumor regression in a subset of NSCLC patients; however, most exhibit resistance to ICIs therapy. Here, we identify the protein kinase Cι (PKCι)) as a biomarker and critical mediator of poor ICIs responsiveness in NSCLC. High PKCι expression correlates with resistance to anti-PD-1 antibody (αPD1) therapy, whereas low PKCι expression are highly sensitive. PKCι-dependent resistance to αPD1 is characterized by increased tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) infiltration and reduced CD8+T cell numbers. Mechanistically, PKCι regulated Yap1-dependent transcription of CCL7, which recruits TAMs and fosters an immunosuppressive microenvironment. In contrast, Overexpression of PKCι or CCL7 in PKCι-knockdown tumors restores TAMs infiltration and αPD1 resistance. Pharmacological inhibition of PKCι with auranofin (AF) reduces TAMs accumulation and promotes CD8+T cell infiltration by inhibiting the PKCι-Yap1-CCL7 axis. Combination therapy with AF and αPD1 triggers a CD8+T cell-dependent antitumor immune response, thereby controlling tumor growth in situ or subcutaneously. In summary, our study reveals a PKCι-mediated immunosuppressive pathway driving ICIs resistance and support PKCι inhibition as a promising strategy to enhance immunotherapy efficacy in NSCLC.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9506,"journal":{"name":"Cancer letters","volume":"644 ","pages":"Article 218330"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146257643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
