© 2019 The Authors Immunosuppressive chemoresistance is a major challenge in lung cancer treatment. Exosomes present in the tumor microenviroment are implicated in chemoresistant-related immune suppression, and metastasis but the exact pathogenic role of lung-derived exosomes is still uncertain. Recent reports reveal that lung cancer pathogenesis is strictly associated with a exosomal tumor supportive status and a dysfunctional immune system. In this study, we investigate the role of Kras-derived exosomes in chemoresistant immunosuppression in which neoplastic cells create a metabolic-sustained microenvironment. Findings reveal that Kras-derived exosomes induce regulation of SMARCE1/NCOR1 chromatin remodeling genes promoting pre-metastatic niche formation in naive mice and consequently increase lung metastatic burden. Furthermore, exosomal Kras inhibition downregulated transcription factor BACH2/GATA-3 expression in lung tumor tissues by shifting pyruvate/PKM2 dependent metabolism, contributing to a tumor-restraining status. Further co-treatment with carboplatin triggered RIP3/TNFa dependent necroptosis in ex vivo cells accompanied by differential expression of immunosuppressive miR-146/miR-210 regulators in metastatic lung cancer patients. Overall, these findings demonstrate the multifaceted roles of Kras-derived exosomes in sustaining lung immunosuppressive metastasis and provide new opportunities for effective metastasis inhibition, especially in chemoresistant tumors.

© 2018 UICC The selective MEK1/2 inhibitor pimasertib has shown anti-tumour activity in a pancreatic tumour model. This phase I/II, two-part trial was conducted in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPaCa) (NCT01016483). In the phase I part, oral pimasertib was given once daily discontinuously (5 days on/2 days off treatment) or twice daily continuously (n = 53) combined with weekly gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2) in 28-day cycles to identify the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of pimasertib. In the phase II part, patients were randomised to pimasertib (RP2D) or placebo plus weekly gemcitabine (n = 88) to investigate progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. The RP2D was determined to be 60 mg BID. PFS and OS outcomes did not indicate any treatment benefit for pimasertib over placebo in combination with gemcitabine (median PFS 3.7 and 2.8 months, respectively, HR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.58–1.42: median OS 7.3 vs. 7.6 months, respectively). KRAS status did not influence PFS or OS. The incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events was 91.1% and 85.7% for pimasertib/gemcitabine and placebo/gemcitabine respectively, but there was a higher incidence of ocular events with pimasertib/gemcitabine (28.9% vs. 4.8% for placebo/gemcitabine). In conclusion, no clinical benefit was observed with first-line pimasertib plus gemcitabine compared with gemcitabine alone in patients with mPaCa.
