"23 However, the KRAS variant is associated with a BRCA1 mutation like gene expression signature, supporting the notion that there might be increased oncogenic risk in the presence of the KRAS variant and high KRAS expression and low BRCA1 expression, either through mutation or other mechanisms."

"Notably, overexpression of exogenous WT KRAS did not elicit additional tumor-suppressive effects in pancreatic cancer cells with endogenous WT KRAS expression (Fig. S4), signifying that it’s the presence of the WT allele, more than the dosage, that is more pertinent to its tumor-suppressive functions."
reach
"Induction of KRAS shRNA by addition of DOX reduced KRAS protein levels (XREF_FIG, red arrow) and withdrawal of DOX restored KRAS expression to almost normal levels within 48 hours (XREF_FIG, green arrow) suggesting inducible and reversible knockdown of KRAS in these cells (note that the KRAS western blots shown in XREF_FIG were probed with an anti-KRAS antibody that binds to both wildtype and mutant KRAS)."
reach
"KRAS mRNA expression in these cells was increased up to 60-fold compared to control cells, illustrating that forced expression of mutant cDNAs using viral vectors often results in supraphysiologic KRAS levels, which complicates assessment of the biochemical and functional consequences."
reach
"A comprehensive proteomic analysis of these exosomes showed that, depending on cell source, they contained very different constituents, with mutant KRAS cell derived exosomes having increased levels of SRC, EGFR and mutant KRAS compared to exosomes from wild-type KRAS DKs-8 cells."
