Oncogenic mutations of Ras at codons 12, 13, or 61, that render the protein constitutively active, are found in ∼16% of all cancer cases. Among the three major Ras isoforms, KRAS is the most frequently mutated isoform in cancer. Each Ras isoform and tumor type displays a distinct pattern of codon-specific mutations. In colon cancer, KRAS is typically mutated at codon 12, but a significant fraction of patients have mutations at codon 13. Clinical data suggest different outcomes and responsiveness to treatment between these two groups. To investigate the differential effects upon cell status associated with KRAS mutations we performed a quantitative analysis of the proteome and phosphoproteome of isogenic SW48 colon cancer cell lines in which one allele of the endogenous gene has been edited to harbor specific KRAS mutations (G12V, G12D, or G13D). Each mutation generates a distinct signature, with the most variability seen between G13D and the codon 12 KRAS mutants. One notable example of specific up-regulation in KRAS codon 12 mutant SW48 cells is provided by the short form of the colon cancer stem cell marker doublecortin-like Kinase 1 (DCLK1) that can be reversed by suppression of KRAS.

Clinical data suggest different outcomes and responsiveness to treatment between these two groups. To investigate the differential effects upon cell status associated with KRAS mutations we performed a quantitative analysis of the proteome and phospho-proteome of isogenic SW48 colon cancer cell lines. Parental cells were compared with cells in which one allele of the endogenous gene has been edited to harbour specific KRAS mutations (G12V, G12D or G13D). Each mutation generates a distinct signature, although the codon 12 mutants overlap significantly whereas G13D is highly divergent and shows more potent up-regulation of phosphopeptide responses. Codon-specific responses within our dataset will be highlighted. Our work raises fundamental questions about basic Ras biology with implications for the design and interpretation of large-scale comparative studies analysing oncogenic Ras signalling. Furthermore, the application of SILAC based quantitative proteomics within a panel of isogenic cell lines represents a promising pipeline for target and biomarker discovery. Citation Format: Dean E.
