Abstract

The small GTPase KRAS is frequently mutated in pancreatic cancer and its cooperation with the transcription factor MYC is essential for malignant transformation. The key to oncogenic KRAS and MYC working together is the stabilization of MYC expression due to KRAS activating the extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1/2, which phosphorylates MYC at serine 62 (Ser 62). This prevents the proteasomal degradation of MYC while enhancing its transcriptional activity. Here, we identify how this essential signaling connection between oncogenic KRAS and MYC expression is mediated by the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family member Survivin. This discovery stemmed from our finding that Survivin expression is downregulated upon treatment of pancreatic cancer cells with the KRASG12C inhibitor Sotorasib. We went on to show that oncogenic KRAS increases Survivin expression by activating extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1/2 in pancreatic cancer cells and that treating the cells either with siRNAs targeting Survivin or with YM155, a small molecule that potently blocks Survivin expression, downregulates MYC and strongly inhibited their growth. We further determined that Survivin protects MYC from degradation by blocking autophagy, which then prevents cellular inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A from undergoing autophagic degradation. Cellular inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A, by inhibiting protein phosphatase 2A, helps to maintain MYC phosphorylation at Ser 62, thereby ensuring its cooperation with oncogenic KRAS in driving cancer progression. Overall, these findings highlight a novel role for Survivin in mediating the cooperative actions of KRAS and MYC during malignant transformation and raise the possibility that targeting Survivin may offer therapeutic benefits against KRAS-driven cancers.

The RAS family of small GTPases, including KRAS, HRAS, and NRAS, function as molecular switches that are tightly controlled and transduce signals between cell surface receptor tyrosine kinases and effectors that regulate several cellular processes, including cell growth, migration, attachment, differentiation, and survival (1Herdeis L.

Kras: the critical driver and therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.Cold Spring Harb Perspect. Med. 2018; 8: 1-18Crossref Scopus (472) Google Scholar). However, the different RAS isoforms are also frequently mutated in cancer, resulting in their constitutive activation. For example, KRAS is mutated in nearly 95% of all pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients, a particularly aggressive and deadly form of cancer (2Waters A.M. Der C.J.

Treatment of PDAC cells with recently developed inhibitors that target specific oncogenic KRAS mutants, that is, Sotorasib, Adagrasib, and MRTX1133, or block different components of the ERK1/2 or PI3K pathways (4Stalnecker C.A.

However, PDAC patients often become resistant to therapies, highlighting the continued need to better understand how KRAS mediates its oncogenic effects. In order for RAS to transform primary cells, it needs to cooperate with another proto-oncogene, often the transcription factor MYC (9Hayes T.K. Neel N.F. Hu C. Gautam P. Chenard M.
