摘要

Activating mutations in KRAS (KRAS∗) are present in nearly all pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cases and critical for tumor maintenance. By using an inducible KRAS∗ PDAC mouse model, we identified a deubiquitinase USP21-driven resistance mechanism to anti-KRAS∗ therapy. USP21 promotes KRAS∗-independent tumor growth via its regulation of MARK3-induced macropinocytosis, which serves to maintain intracellular amino acid levels for anabolic growth. The USP21-mediated KRAS∗ bypass, coupled with the frequent amplification of USP21 in human PDAC tumors, encourages the assessment of USP21 as a novel drug target as well as a potential parameter that may affect responsiveness to emergent anti-KRAS∗ therapy.
