Abstract

Oncogenic KRAS is considered a promising target for anti‐cancer therapy. However, direct pharmacological strategies targeting KRAS‐driven cancers remained unavailable. The prenyl‐binding protein PDEδ, a transporter of KRAS, has been identified as a potential target for pharmacological inhibitor by selectively binding to its prenyl‐binding pocket, impairing oncogenic KRAS signaling pathway. Here, we discovered a novel PDEδ inhibitor (E)‐N′‐((3‐(tert‐butyl)‐2‐hydroxy‐6,7,8,9‐tetrahydrodibenzo[b,dfuran‐1‐yl)methylene)‐2,4‐dihydroxybenzohydrazide(NHTD) by using a high‐throughput docking‐based virtual screening approach. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that NHTD suppressed proliferation, induced apoptosis and inhibited oncogenic K‐RAS signaling pathways by disrupting KRAS‐PDEδ interaction in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring KRAS mutations. NHTD redistributed the localization of KRAS to endomembranes by targeting the prenyl‐binding pocket of PDEδ and exhibited the suppression of abnormal KRAS function. Importantly, NHTD prevented tumor growth in xenograft and KRAS mutant mouse model, which presents an effective strategy targeting KRAS‐driven cancer.

  • NHTD redistributes the localization of KRAS to the endometrium through PDEδ-targeting isoprene binding pockets, and studies in vitro and in vivo have shown that NHTD can induce apoptosis and inhibit carcinogenic KRAS signaling by disrupting KRAS-PDEδ interactions (IC50 = 40 μM) in NSCLC, effectively preventing tumor growth in xenografted and KRAS-mutated mouse models.

    “NHTD, on the other hand, redistributes the localization of KRAS to the endometrium through PDEδ-targeting isoprene binding pockets, and studies in vitro and in vivo have shown that NHTD can induce apoptosis and inhibit carcinogenic KRAS signaling by disrupting KRAS-PDEδ interactions (IC50 = 40 μM) in NSCLC, effectively preventing tumor growth in xenografted and KRAS-mutated mouse models.347”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
