Tang and colleagues examined the effect of candidate KRAS-interacting proteins on lung cancer growth utilizing a multiplexed somatic CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing screen in a KRASG12D mutant mouse model. They found that wild-type HRAS and NRAS suppressed KRAS-driven lung tumorigenesis in vivo and in vitro through suppression of KRAS-KRAS binding as well as through competition for key downstream signaling pathways such as ERK. Expert Commentary: This study suggests that “RAS paralog imbalance” with decreased expression of wild-type HRAS and NRAS in the setting of mutant KRAS can promote tumorigenesis. Tang R, Shuldiner EG, Kelly M, Murray CW, Hebert JD, Andrejka L, et al. Multiplexed screens identify RAS paralogues HRAS and NRAS as suppressors of KRAS-driven lung cancer growth.
