Abstract B083: Mutant KRAS cooperates with the hypoxic tumor microenvironment to drive immunosuppressive macrophages via a paracrine PGE2/GM-CSF axis

Hypoxia is known to drive an immunosuppressive microenvironment in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the underlying immunosuppressive mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we hypothesized that hypoxia-induced factors secreted from tumor cells promoted immunosuppressive macrophages in PDAC. We tr...

CDK8 remodels the tumor microenvironment and promotes resistance to KRASG12D inhibitors and daraxonrasib in PDAC

Mediator complex kinase CDK8 is identified as a driver of resistance towards KRASG12D inhibition in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), promoting stromal remodeling and immunosuppression and CDK8 inhibition in resistant tumors re-primes PDAC to anti-CTLA-4 immunotherapy efficacy.
