摘要 Abstract
中文摘要
KRAS是胰腺癌中最常见且最关键的致癌突变,突变率超过90%。pan-RAS抑制剂RMC-6236(Daraxonrasib)在临床试验中已显示出令人鼓舞的进展,并被FDA认定为突破性疗法。然而,对RAS靶向药物的耐药性不可避免。在此,我们收集了经pan-RAS抑制剂RMC-6236治疗的KPC小鼠的肿瘤组织,分别取自肿瘤缩小时和获得性耐药出现后,并进行了单细胞测序。我们发现,调节性T细胞(Tregs)在治疗后减少,但在耐药后增加。类似地,髓系免疫细胞在治疗状态和获得性耐药状态下均表现出相似的亚群变化,其中LDHA阳性的肿瘤相关中性粒细胞(TANs)在RMC-6236治疗后显著减少,但在获得性耐药出现后又得到补充。机制上,LDHA阳性中性粒细胞通过STAT3信号和NETs上调PD-L1表达,并通过PD-L1/PD-1相互作用促进Tregs的免疫抑制效应。此外,在中性粒细胞中敲除LDHA并联合RMC-6236,可显著抑制KPC小鼠的肿瘤生长,并恢复胰腺癌对RMC-6236的敏感性。总之,本研究揭示了pan-RAS抑制剂RMC-6236耐药背后的肿瘤微环境调控机制,并提出了一种克服RAS抑制剂耐药的有前景策略。

KRAS is the most common and critical oncogenic mutation in pancreatic cancer, with a mutation rate exceeding 90%. The pan-RAS inhibitor RMC-6236 (Daraxonrasib) has shown promising progress in clinical trials and has been designated as a breakthrough therapy by the FDA. However, resistance to RAS-targeted drugs is inevitable. Here, we collected tumor tissues from KPC mice treated with the pan-RAS inhibitor RMC-6236, both at the time of tumor shrinkage and after the development of acquired resistance, and performed single-cell sequencing. We found that regulatory T cells (Tregs) decreased after treatment but increased after resistance. Similarly, myeloid immune cells exhibited similar subpopulation changes in both treated and acquired resistant states, with LDHA-positive tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) significantly reduced after RMC-6236 treatment, but replenished after the development of acquired resistance. Mechanistically, LDHA-positive neutrophils upregulate PD-L1 expression via STAT3 signaling and NETs, and promote the immune suppressive effect of Tregs through PD-L1/PD-1 interactions. Additionally, the ablation of LDHA in neutrophils combined with RMC-6236 significantly inhibited tumor growth in KPC mice and restored pancreatic cancer sensitivity to RMC-6236. In conclusion, this study reveals the tumor microenvironment regulatory mechanisms underlying resistance to pan-RAS inhibitor RMC-6236 and proposes a promising strategy for overcoming RAS inhibitor resistance.
