In this study, we demonstrate that an EGFR-directed RNAi molecule (EFTX-G12V) is highly selective for <em>KRAS</em><sup><em>G12V</em></sup> and exhibits improved therapeutic activity over pan-KRAS targeting, including enhanced inhibition of several cancer hallmarks. Using a targeted RNAi delivery platform, we achieve effective tumor silencing of <em>KRAS</em><sup><em>G12V</em></sup> and significant anti-tumor activity across several cancer models. Our findings represent a technological advance in oncogene targeting using RNAi and provide new biologic insights in KRAS targeting with potential implications for safety and efficacy.","PeriodicalId":9670,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Cell","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":50.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144319500","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}

While this process is crucial for tissue homeostasis and tumor suppression, the progressive accumulation of senescent cells (SnCs) over time is implicated in age-related pathologies, including immune dysfunction and cancer. In oncology, senescence plays a paradoxical role: it can inhibit tumor development by halting the growth of potentially malignant cells, yet it may also facilitate tumor progression through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). This review explores the defining features of senescence in cancer, its complex interactions with tumor cells, the stroma, and the immune system, and its context-dependent outcomes. We also discuss current and emerging therapeutic strategies that target SnCs—either by inducing or eliminating them—as well as AI-driven approaches for their detection and characterization in cancer.","PeriodicalId":9670,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Cell","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":50.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144269116","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}

However, dose-limiting toxicity has hampered their clinical development. We performed genome-wide CRISPR screens to reveal the complete IL-15R signaling mechanism in natural killer (NK) cells and discovered that ubiquitin-dependent IL-15R degradation is the dominant mechanism restraining IL-15R signaling. Key hits included the NEDD8 E2-conjugating enzyme UBE2F, the ubiquitin E3-ligase ARIH2, and Cullin-5 RING E3 ligase (CRL5) members. We found that UBE2F was required for neddylation and activation of CUL5, whereas ARIH2 contributed to CRL5-mediated IL-15RB degradation. Ablation of <em>ARIH2</em> or <em>UBE2F</em> increased IL-15RB surface expression and enhanced signaling, resulting in proinflammatory cytokine production and augmented natural and CAR-mediated cytotoxicity. In mice lacking <em>Arih2</em>, <em>Rnf7</em>, or <em>Ube2f</em>, we observed that the IL-15R hyperresponsive NK cells exhibited superior <em>in vivo</em> anti-tumor immunity against primary and disseminated metastatic tumors.

We investigated the impact of a rationally designed chemotherapy combination on the generation of hypermutation and immunogenicity in otherwise immune-refractory CRC and breast cancer mouse models. Combinatorial treatment with cisplatin (CDDP) and temozolomide (TMZ) induces an adaptive downregulation of MMR, resulting in chemotherapy-dependent hypermutability and increase in predicted neoantigens. This combination specifically alters the immune fitness of the tumors, ultimately leading to CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell-mediated immune surveillance, immunoediting of chemotherapy-induced neoantigens, and durable immunological memory. Treatment with CDDP and TMZ also remodels the innate immune microenvironment and induces long-lasting responses and complete rejections when combined with anti-PD-1 therapy in mice. The same effects are not observed using the clinically approved combination of 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI).

Here, we harness multiple genetic approaches to develop a CAR-T cell therapy targeting tumors. First, we screen binders targeting oncogenic KRAS G12V mutations presented by peptide-MHC complexes. Subsequently, we incorporate these neoantigen binders into CAR-T cells (mKRAS NeoCARs) and demonstrate their efficacy in xenograft models of metastatic lung, pancreatic, and renal cell cancer. Finally, we enhance the <em>in vivo</em> efficacy and safety profile of mKRAS NeoCARs via inducible secretion of IL-12 and T cell receptor deletion.
