"The promoter of KRAS proto-oncogene contains G-quadruplex structure, which is bound and unwound by several proteins, including hnRNPA1, to enable KRAS transcription [177]."

reach
"Additionally, preclinical studies have shown that KRAS siRNA-engineered iExosomes decrease KRAS expression in mice, leading to suppressed cancer cell proliferation, enhanced apoptosis, inhibited metastasis, and increased overall survival without causing cytotoxic effects (Mendt et al., 2018; Kamerkar et al., 2017)."

reach
"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."

reach
"In previous studies, it has been shown that KRAS variants of RS61764370 interfere with the binding of Let-7 miRNA and increase the expression of KRAS XREF_BIBR."

reach
"Oncogenic mutations in KRAS typically occur at hotspots in the protein (e.g., codons 12, 13, and 61), increasing the steady-state levels of KRAS proteins in the GTP-bound state that are capable of driving protumorigenic signaling through downstream effector pathways, such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways."

reach
"As expected, stable transfection of Kras led to increased Kras expression and hyperactive Ras signaling (Figure S2A,B, Supporting Information), and subcutaneous C57BL/6J mice xenografts showed a significant increase in MC38K tumor growth as opposed to MC38 tumors (Figure 2A,B)."

reach
"For inhibitors of the m A-recognition protein, a compound called “7,773” has been found to bind IGF2BP1 and inhibit its interaction with KRAS RNA (139), thereby reducing the expression of KRAS protein and downstream signaling, inhibiting the cancer-promoting activity of IGF2BP1."

reach
"However, it has not been tested whether HIPK2 cooperates with KRAS-driven tumorigenicity in vivo, employing tissue-specific expression of oncogenic KRAS and HIPK2 knockout (KO)."

reach
"In contrast, while knockdown of wild-type KRAS did not significantly reduce KRAS protein expression in H358 cells, mutant specific knockdown potently and specifically reduced KRAS protein expression."

reach
"In humans, a change in codon composition in the gene KRAS, from rare to common codons, increases KRas protein expression and is associated with tumorigenicity."

reach
"KRAS, the key regulator of RAS and ERK pathway, was tightly regulated by enzyme activity of SIRT1, SIRT1 deacetylated KRAS and increased the expression of KRAS (Cheng et al., 2015a)."

reach
"Taking up liposome‐EV‐KRAS led to much higher KRAS expression in PKH26 lung cells (67.0%) (Figure S4b) compared with KRAS (0.01%) expressed in the lung cells of mice treated with free PKH26 dye.2.3 EV G12D-mutant KRAS complex induces lung inflammation via Fn1 mediated induction of IL-17A."

reach
"By demonstrating that the KRAS enhancer variant confer gain-of-function activity to promote KRAS expression in leukemia cells, our results provide a mechanism that may explain the lack of KRAS hotspot coding mutations compared to other RAS family proteins such as NRAS."

reach
"This theory is supported by the discovery that tumor development is drastically decreased in mice with a codon-optimized KRAS coding sequence, which increases KRAS protein expression [ 58 ]."

reach
"Western blotting indicated that the expression of KRAS, YAP1, and HIF-1alpha in SNU-C1 cells was almost completely eliminated by DDX3 manipulation, KRAS silencing, or treatment with the ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine (NAC)."

reach
"The authors speculated that the rare codon usage in KRAS leads to low endogenous protein levels, meaning that oncogenically activated KRAS would not be expressed highly enough to induce the senescent phenotype."

reach
"As shown in Figure 4A, siRNA knockdown of KRAS in cells at different concentrations decreased KRAS expression compared to non-targeting siRNA treated cells."

reach
"We found that all 3 T-ALL cell lines derived from oncogenic Kras mice and ~ 25% of oncogenic Kras induced T-ALL specimens lost WT Kras expression through distinct mechanisms (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"We also identified that a fraction of oncogenic Kras induced MPN lost WT Kras expression, at both early and late stages of MPN development (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"This could be caused by the increased expression of NF-κB regulator KRAS (109) as we observed elevated KRAS protein levels in total proteome after NF-κB inhibition."

reach
"Cytosolic delivery of Lipofectamine-complexed IpaH9.8-K27-D25-s11 resulted in a 46% reduction of GFP-KRAS levels, whereas control proteins lacking E3, binding ability, or ApP could not deplete GFP-KRAS levels."

reach
"In studies of adult mouse pancreas, expression of Kras from the endogenous Kras locus does not lead to carcinoma unless a tumor suppressor such as Trp53 and/or Fbw7 is also mutated.7, 8, 9 However, with Kras expression in ducts, CP led to neoplastic changes including carcinoma in situ by 2 months."

reach
"Compared to the wild-type T genotype, the less-frequent variant G transcript of KRAS exerts a high stability through escaping the let-7 translational repression and causes a high level of KRAS in the cell."

reach
"Based on these results we hypothesized that CRNDE/hnRNPA2B1 axis promoted KRAS protein expression by translational control of KRAS mRNA.To gain further insight into its mechanism, the SUnSET assays were employed, and the results unveiled that hnRNPA2B1 strongly influenced global protein synthesis (Fig. 6J, S7B)."
