From basic researches to new achievements in therapeutic strategies of KRAS-driven cancers.


ABSTRACT: Among the numerous oncogenes involved in human cancers, KRAS represents the most studied and best characterized cancer-related genes. Several therapeutic strategies targeting oncogenic KRAS (KRAS onc ) signaling pathways have been suggested, including the inhibition of synthetic lethal interactions, direct inhibition of KRAS onc itself, blockade of downstream KRAS onc effectors, prevention of post-translational KRAS onc modifications, inhibition of the induced stem cell-like program, targeting of metabolic peculiarities, stimulation of the immune system, inhibition of inflammation, blockade of upstream signaling pathways, targeted RNA replacement, and oncogene-induced senescence. Despite intensive and continuous efforts, KRAS onc remains an elusive target for cancer therapy. To highlight the progress to date, this review covers a collection of studies on therapeutic strategies for KRAS published from 1995 to date. An overview of the path of progress from earlier to more recent insights highlight novel opportunities for clinical development towards KRASonc-signaling targeted therapeutics.
