Description

Yaoyu Guo's team shows that booster rewiring rewires blood-fat making through the MVA pathway to confer fightback to KRAS blockers in colorectal cancer. Restart of ERK signals marks resistant tumours, but the energy-use-linked route feeding it was unclear.

Booster changes switched on MVA synthesis, which carried KRAS to the cell membrane and sustained MAPK signals despite KRAS blocking. Halting the pathway with statins prevented KRAS membrane placing and overcame fightback, exposing an epi-gene-energy-use-linked weak spot that could be aimed alongside KRAS blockers. Statins prevented KRAS membrane placing.
