    N17350 broadly kills cancer cells while preserving immune cells (A and B) Various cancer cell lines and primary cancer cells from OvCa patients were treated with increasing doses of N17350 for 24 h, and the EC50 was determined (n = 2–6/dose). (A) Representative killing curves for OvCa patient cancer cells (left), lung cancer cells with distinct KRAS variants (middle), and other tumor types (right). (B) Summary of EC50 values (left) and cancer-cell-type origin (right). (C) Representative tumor growth curve for NCI-H358 and NCI-H2122 tumors (non-small cell lung cancer) treated with N17350 (400 μg/100 mm 3 , intra-tumoral), <t>MRTX1257</t> (100 mg/kg, oral, daily), or carboplatin (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneal, days 0 and 7); n = 5 mice/group.

    (A) KRAS-dependent gene expression changes upon acute (24 hours) KRAS suppression in eight KRAS-mutant PDAC cell lines transiently transfected with KRAS or control non-specific (NS) siRNA. Enrichment of Hallmark KRAS signaling gene sets is shown below. The 677 KRAS-dependent (UP) and 1,051 KRAS-suppressed (DN) genes (log2 fold-change/FC > 0.5, adj. p-val. < 0.05) are indicated by blue and red shaded circles, respectively. The top 200 KRAS-dependent (UP) and KRAS-inhibited (DN) genes comprising the PDAC KRAS UP/DN signatures are indicated by the dotted outlines. (B) Venn diagram indicates the overlap of differentially expressed genes (with unique Entrez gene IDs) upon KRAS siRNA treatment (refer to blue/red shading in (A)) compared to Hallmark KRAS signaling genes. N = 8 (cell lines as biological replicates) for each treatment and control. (C) GSEA for 50 Hallmark gene sets within DE genes following KRAS siRNA treatment. Detection is based on presence of a gene in all 8 PDAC cell lines at >5 reads. NES, normalized enrichment score. (D) KRAS-G12Ci <t>(MRTX1257,</t> 20 nM) induced expression changes summarized over 24 hours and three cell lines (PDAC, CRC, and NSCLC). Genes from siKRAS experiment shown as blue/red boxes in (A) are highlighted with blue/red and indicated by barcode plot below. Enrichment scores (ES) for top 200 UP/DN genes are indicated. (E) GSEA for 50 Hallmark gene sets within RNA-seq data from the indicated human cancer cell line-derived (CDX) or patient-derived (PDX) xenograft tumor samples. CDX mice were treated orally (24 hours) with either KRASG12C or KRASG12D selective inhibitors (G12Ci adagrasib or G12Di MRTX1133, respectively) or vehicle control. PDX mice were treated (21 days) with G12Ci sotorasib alone or together with the EGFRi panitumumab. The top 200 genes from the PDAC KRAS UP/DN gene sets (panel A) were also evaluated. N = 3 for each cell line/treatment combination except HPAC (control) and LS-180 (G12Di), where n = 6.

    (A) Crystal structure of ERK2 bound to the ATP analogue ANP; activating ERK2 mutations (and analogous ERK1 mutations) and the TEY activation loop are shown (PDB: 4NIF). (B) Immunoblots showing mutant ERK expression and rescue of downstream signaling in Pa16C, MIA PaCa-2, and UM53 cells with doxycycline (Dox)-inducible activated ERK1SD (R84S/S170D) or ERK2SD (R67S/S153D) treated with the KRASG12D (MRTX1133, 20 nM) or KRASG12C <t>(MRTX1257,</t> 20 nM) inhibitor for 24 hours. Dox (1 μg/mL) was added 24 hours prior to drug treatments. Blots are representative of three or more independent experiments. Quantification of pRSK and MYC are shown in fig. S1C. (C) Cell viability assays of Pa16C, MIA PaCa-2, UM53 cells with Dox-inducible expression of activated ERK1SD (R84S/S170D) or ERK2SD (R67S/S153D) in response to KRASG12C/D (MRTX1257, MRTX1133) or ERK1/2 inhibitor (SCH772984). Dox treatment (1 μg/mL) was added 24 hours prior to drug treatments. Graphs show the mean percent growth of three replicates +/− standard error of the mean. (D) RPPA Spearman correlation coefficients comparing log2(FC) of signals from 147 antibodies for the individual six cell lines and all cell lines considered together. Cells were treated with siRNAs targeting NS (non-specific control), KRAS, MAPK3 (ERK1) and/or MAPK1 (ERK2), for 72 hours as in (fig. S1E). Statistical analysis was performed from four biological replicates. The individual treatments and full protein list can be found in fig. S1G and data S1. (E) RNA transcript expression changes induced by 24-hour KRASG12D inhibition (MRTX1133, 100 nM) versus DMSO control in Pa16C cells expressing activated ERK1SD (cyan), ERK2SD (pink), or GFP control (black). Genes are ranked by expression changes in GFP expressing cells. Dox (1 μg/mL) was added 24 hours prior to drug treatments. Statistical analysis was performed from two biological replicates. Genes shown for ERK1SD and ERK2SD (points) are those with significant DE induced by KRASG12D inhibition in GFP control cells (adj. p-val. < 0.01). (F) Venn diagrams representing the overlap between genes upregulated (G12Di UP) or downregulated (G12Di DN) by KRASG12D inhibition in GFP expressing cells (green; |log2FC| > 0.25 and adj. p-val. < 0.01) and genes rescued by ERK1SD (cyan) and ERK2SD (pink). The center overlap (purple) depicts genes rescued by both ERK1SD and ERK2SD, the genes in only the green area are not rescued by either, in the cyan area rescued by only ERK1SD, and in the purple area by only ERK2SD. The term “rescue” indicates an expression change (log2FC) less extreme than the GFP control but no p-values were used to represent the degree of those expression changes.

(D) N17350 efficacy 72 h after a single intra-tumoral injection across various xenograft models; n = 5–7 mice/group. (E) Cancer and non-cancer cells were isolated from OvCa patients, treated with N17350 (500 nM), doxorubicin (10 μM), or oxaliplatin (100 μM) for 24 h, and cell viability was assessed; n = 2–3/patient, n = 31–39 patients/group. (F) Representative N17350 killing curve (left) and eXEC50 values (right) for cancer cells and CD45 + immune cells isolated from the same tumor of OvCa patients ( n = 3/dose across patients). EC50 values for immune cells were assigned as >10,000 nM, as the maximal tested dose failed to achieve a response plateau, precluding accurate curve fitting. ∗ p < 0.05, two-way ANOVA (C and E), Student’s t test: unpaired (D) and paired (F). Results are mean ± SEM. Arrows indicate N17350 treatment. All replicates are independent biological replicates.

Genes are ranked by expression changes in GFP expressing cells. Dox (1 μg/mL) was added 24 hours prior to drug treatments. Statistical analysis was performed from two biological replicates. Genes shown for ERK1SD and ERK2SD (points) are those with significant DE induced by KRASG12D inhibition in GFP control cells (adj. p-val. < 0.01). (F) Venn diagrams representing the overlap between genes upregulated (G12Di UP) or downregulated (G12Di DN) by KRASG12D inhibition in GFP expressing cells (green; |log2FC| > 0.25 and adj. p-val. < 0.01) and genes rescued by ERK1SD (cyan) and ERK2SD (pink). The center overlap (purple) depicts genes rescued by both ERK1SD and ERK2SD, the genes in only the green area are not rescued by either, in the cyan area rescued by only ERK1SD, and in the purple area by only ERK2SD. The term “rescue” indicates an expression change (log2FC) less extreme than the GFP control but no p-values were used to represent the degree of those expression changes.

Genes are ranked by expression changes in GFP expressing cells. Dox (1 μg/mL) was added 24 hours prior to drug treatments. Statistical analysis was performed from two biological replicates. Genes shown for ERK1SD and ERK2SD (points) are those with significant DE induced by KRASG12D inhibition in GFP control cells (adj. p-val. < 0.01). (F) Venn diagrams representing the overlap between genes upregulated (G12Di UP) or downregulated (G12Di DN) by KRASG12D inhibition in GFP expressing cells (green; |log2FC| > 0.25 and adj. p-val. < 0.01) and genes rescued by ERK1SD (cyan) and ERK2SD (pink). The center overlap (purple) depicts genes rescued by both ERK1SD and ERK2SD, the genes in only the green area are not rescued by either, in the cyan area rescued by only ERK1SD, and in the purple area by only ERK2SD. The term “rescue” indicates an expression change (log2FC) less extreme than the GFP control but no p-values were used to represent the degree of those expression changes.
