KRAS G12V mutation-selective requirement for ACSS2 in colorectal adenoma formation

Abstract

Oncogenic KRAS mutations are prevalent in colorectal cancer (CRC) and linked to poor prognosis and therapeutic resistance. Emerging evidence suggests that specific KRAS mutations differentially influence treatment responses. In this study, we generate isogenic Apc-null mouse colon epithelial cells with four common KRAS mutations. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses reveal significant enrichment of cholesterol and lipid metabolism pathways in KRAS G12V cells, driven by increased SREBP1 expression and mTORC1 activation. Furthermore, KRAS G12V cells exhibit elevated ACSS2 expression and greater dependence on ACSS2 for proliferative advantage compared to other mutants. Inhibition of ACSS2 uniquely sensitizes KRAS G12V cells to MEK inhibition, highlighting a distinct therapeutic vulnerability. Finally, ACSS2 plays a critical role in early KRAS G12V adenoma development, unlike in KRAS G12D adenomas. These findings highlight mutation-specific metabolic reprogramming in KRAS-driven CRC and identify ACSS2 as a potential therapeutic target.
