    Abstract Missense mutations in the RAS family of oncogenes (HRAS, KRAS, and NRAS) are present in approximately 20% of human cancers, making RAS a valuable therapeutic target (Prior et al., Cancer Res 80:2969-2974, 2020). Although decades of research efforts to develop therapeutic inhibitors of RAS were unsuccessful, there has been success in recent years with the entrance of FDA-approved KRAS

    Abstract Intersectin (ITSN) is a multi-domain scaffold protein with a diverse array of functions including regulation of endocytosis, vesicle transport, and activation of various signal transduction pathways. There are two ITSN genes located on chromosomes 21 and 2 encoding for proteins ITSN1 and ITSN2, respectively. Each ITSN gene encodes two major isoforms, ITSN-Long (ITSN-L) and ITSN-Short (ITSN-S), due to alternative splicing. ITSN1 and 2, collectively referred to as ITSN, are implicated in many physiological and pathological processes, such as neuronal maintenance, actin cytoskeletal rearrangement, and tumor progression. ITSN is mis-regulated in many tumors, such as breast, lung, neuroblastomas, and gliomas. Altered expression of ITSN is also found in several neurodegenerative diseases, such as Down Syndrome and Alzheimer's disease. This review summarizes recent studies on ITSN and provides an overview of the function of this important family of scaffold proteins in various biological processes.

    Abstract RAS has long been viewed as undruggable due to its lack of deep pockets for binding of small molecule inhibitors. However, recent successes in the development of direct RAS inhibitors suggest that the goal of pharmacological inhibition of RAS in patients may soon be realized. This review will discuss the role of RAS in cancer, the approaches used to develop direct RAS inhibitors, and highlight recent successes in the development of novel RAS inhibitory compounds that target different aspects of RAS biochemistry. In particular, this review will discuss the different properties of RAS that have been targeted by various inhibitors including membrane localization, the different activation states of RAS, effector binding, and nucleotide exchange. In addition, this review will highlight the recent success with mutation-specific inhibitors that exploit the unique biochemistry of the RAS(G12C) mutant. Although this mutation in KRAS accounts for 11% of all KRAS mutations in cancer, it is the most prominent KRAS mutant in lung cancer suggesting that G12C-specific inhibitors may provide a new approach for treating the subset of lung cancer patients harboring this mutant allele. Finally, this review will discuss the involvement of dimerization in RAS function and highlight new approaches to inhibit RAS by specifically interfering with RAS:RAS interaction.

    Abstract Abstract: COVID-19 created unprecedented occupational health challenges for hospitals. To meet these demands at a large county safety-net hospital, a COVID-19 employee response team led by PAs and NPs was created. From April 2020 through February 2022, this team managed more than 14,000 discrete employee contacts related to COVID-19 employee concerns. This article describes our experience in creating this team and highlights key strengths and lessons for other institutions seeking to adopt similar models.

    Abstract RAS is frequently mutated in human cancers with nearly 20% of all cancers harboring mutations in one of three RAS isoforms (KRAS, HRAS, or NRAS). Furthermore, RAS proteins are critical oncogenic drivers of tumorigenesis. As such, RAS has been a prime focus for development of targeted cancer therapeutics. Although RAS is viewed by many as undruggable, the recent development of allele-specific covalent inhibitors to KRAS(G12C) has provided significant hope for the eventual pharmacological inhibition of RAS (Ostrem et al., Nature 503(7477):548-551, 2013; Patricelli et al., Cancer Discov 6(3):316-329, 2016; Janes et al., Cell 172(3):578-589.e17, 2018; Canon et al., Nature 575(7781):217-223, 2019; Hallin et al., Cancer Discov 10(1):54-71, 2020). Indeed, these (G12C)-specific inhibitors have elicited promising responses in early phase clinical trials (Canon et al., Nature 575(7781):217-223, 2019; Hallin et al., Cancer Discov 10(1):54-71, 2020). Despite this success in pharmacologically targeting KRAS(G12C), the remaining RAS mutants lack readily tractable chemistries for development of covalent inhibitors. Thus, alternative approaches are needed to develop broadly efficacious RAS inhibitors. We have utilized Monobody (Mb) technology to identify vulnerabilities in RAS that can potentially be exploited for development of novel RAS inhibitors. Here, we describe the methods used to isolate RAS-specific Mbs and to define their inhibitory activity.

    Abstract RAS was identified as a human oncogene in the early 1980s and subsequently found to be mutated in nearly 30% of all human cancers. More importantly, RAS plays a central role in driving tumor development and maintenance. Despite decades of effort, there remain no FDA approved drugs that directly inhibit RAS. The prevalence of RAS mutations in cancer and the lack of effective anti-RAS therapies stem from RAS' core role in growth factor signaling, unique structural features, and biochemistry. However, recent advances have brought promising new drugs to clinical trials and shone a ray of hope in the field. Here, we will exposit the details of RAS biology that illustrate its key role in cell signaling and shed light on the difficulties in therapeutically targeting RAS. Furthermore, past and current efforts to develop RAS inhibitors will be discussed in depth.

    Abstract RAS is a membrane localized small GTPase frequently mutated in human cancer. As such, RAS has been a focal target for developing cancer therapeutics since its discovery nearly four decades ago. However, efforts to directly target RAS have been challenging due to the apparent lack of readily discernable deep pockets for binding small molecule inhibitors leading many to consider RAS as undruggable. An important milestone in direct RAS inhibition was achieved recently with the groundbreaking discovery of covalent inhibitors that target the mutant Cys residue in KRAS(G12C). Surprisingly, these G12C-reactive compounds only target mutant RAS in the GDP-bound state thereby locking it in the inactive conformation and blocking its ability to couple with downstream effector pathways. Building on this success, several groups have developed similar compounds that selectively target KRAS(G12C), with AMG510 and MRTX849 the first to advance to clinical trials. Both have shown early promising results. Though the success with these compounds has reignited the possibility of direct pharmacological inhibition of RAS, these covalent inhibitors are limited to treating KRAS(G12C) tumors which account for <15% of all RAS mutants in human tumors. Thus, there remains an unmet need to identify more broadly efficacious RAS inhibitors. Here, we will discuss the current state of RAS(G12C) inhibitors and the potential for inhibiting additional RAS mutants through targeting RAS dimerization which has emerged as an important step in the allosteric regulation of RAS function.
