    Abstract KRAS is one of the most commonly mutated oncogenes in lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. Recent clinical trials directly targeting KRAS G12C presented encouraging results for a large population of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but resistance to treatment is a concern. Continued exploration of new inhibitors and preclinical models is needed to address resistance mechanisms and improve duration of patient responses. To further enable the development of KRAS G12C inhibitors, we present a preclinical framework involving translational, non-invasive imaging modalities (CT and PET) and histopathology in a conventional xenograft model and a novel KRAS G12C knock-in mouse model of NSCLC. We utilized an in-house developed KRAS G12C inhibitor (Compound A) as a tool to demonstrate the value of this framework in studying in vivo pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship and anti-tumor efficacy. We characterized the Kras G12C-driven genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM) and identify tumor growth and signaling differences compared to its Kras G12D-driven counterpart. We also find that Compound A has comparable efficacy to sotorasib in the Kras G12C-driven lung tumors arising in the GEMM, but like observations in the clinic, some tumors inevitably progress on treatment. These findings establish a foundation for evaluating future KRAS G12C inhibitors that is not limited to xenograft studies and can be applied in a translationally relevant mouse model that mirrors human disease progression and resistance.

    Abstract αvβ8 integrin, a key activator of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), inhibits anti-tumor immunity. We show that a potent blocking monoclonal antibody against αvβ8 (ADWA-11) causes growth suppression or complete regression in syngeneic models of squamous cell carcinoma, mammary cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer, especially when combined with other immunomodulators or radiotherapy. αvβ8 is expressed at the highest levels in CD4+CD25+ T cells in tumors, and specific deletion of β8 from T cells is as effective as ADWA-11 in suppressing tumor growth. ADWA-11 increases expression of a suite of genes in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells normally inhibited by TGF-β and involved in tumor cell killing, including granzyme B and interferon-γ. The in vitro cytotoxic effect of tumor CD8 T cells is inhibited by CD4+CD25+ cells, and this suppressive effect is blocked by ADWA-11. These findings solidify αvβ8 integrin as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy.

    Abstract Rationale: Nicotine has been reported to produce both anxiolytic and/or anxiogenic effects in humans and animals.
    Objectives: This study examined whether pretreatment with nicotine would alter anxiety in a unique runway model of approach-avoidance conflict.
    Materials and methods: Food-restricted rats were trained to run a straight alley once a day to obtain food upon goal-box entry. Beginning on trial 11, food reward was followed by a series of five foot shocks (0.3-0.4 mA, 0.5 s) in the goal box. Non-shocked control rats continued to run for food only. The resulting association of the goal box with both a positive (food) and negative (foot shock) stimulus produced an approach-avoidance conflict (subjects exhibited "retreat behaviors" in which they would approach the goal box, stop, and then retreat back towards the start box). Once retreats were established, their sensitivity to nicotine pretreatment (0.0, 0.03, 0.045, 0.06, or 0.075 mg/kg, i.v.) was compared to saline. In subsequent tests, the effects of nicotine (0.06 or 0.03 mg/kg) were examined on spontaneous activity (locomotion) and center-square entries in an open field (anxiety).
    Results: Doses of 0.06 and 0.075 mg/kg, but not lower doses of nicotine, reduced the number of runway retreats, and 0.06 mg/kg nicotine increased the number of open-field center entries relative to saline. No effects on locomotion were observed.
    Conclusions: Nicotine reduced approach-avoidance conflict and increased the rats' willingness to enter the center of an open field, suggesting that the drug can produce anxiolytic properties and that such effects may serve as an important factor in the persistence of smoking behavior.
