Anirban Maitra: Therapeutic targeting of Syndecan-1 axis in gastrointestinal cancers
Anirban Maitra shared on X:
“New preprint by Wantong Yao, Haoqiang Ying, Scott Kopetz.
Therapeutic targeting of Syndecan-1 axis overcomes acquired resistance to KRAS-targeted therapy in gastrointestinal cancers. In preclinical models of Pancreatic Cancer and Colorectal Cancer, bypass of KRAS inhibition is accompanied by re-expression of cell surface SDC1 via a YAP-SDC1 axis, which restores macropinocytosis, and RTK-dependent growth.
You can hear Wantong Yao speak at the AACR Special Conference on Pancreatic Cancer next month in Boston, in the Tumor Cell Biology Session.”
