anyone here with Kras T53 mutation

Postby Jackar0e » Fri Jun 08, 2018 6:49 am

Hello,

I had the Hai pump installed in February. Still tumor is growing. I wasd told nasty cancer was Kras+T54 mutation. They want to try oxy and 5FU systemically and myocin and in the pump

I am thinking this is a shot in the dark. Any info??

Gene mutations are often cited with the Gene and the individual mutation. I have KRAS G12D, so KRAS is the gene, 12 is the codon location, D indicates the kind of substitution and I don't recall what the first character means.

This is a good page to explore the known gene mutations and the individual mutations:

Here is my take on the TP53's: So... Healthy P53’s fight cancerous DNA. But when they get sick or mutated they stop fighting the bad cells. So there is efforts to boost the healthy P53’s to fight harder but years of testing, nothing has made it to the Market. Researchers are trying to restore the P53’s back to their normal state to carry-on the fight. They are finding drugs that bind to and prop up copies of mutated p53, restoring its shape and ability to carry out its job. One such drug has already passed an early stage safety trial in humans, and a more advanced clinical trial is now underway in Europe. The payoff could be big, however. Not only could the strategy treat many kinds of cancer, but just a handful of drugs might be enough,
particularly when coupled with chemotherapy drugs that induce the tumor cell damage to which p53 responds. P53 mutations tend to be clustered in the core of the protein, where it binds to DNA.

Another protein, MDM2, latches onto P53 molecules and destroys them, keeping their numbers in check. But this control mechanism can fail in multiple ways. For starters, when p53 itself is mutated, MDM2 cannot attack it. As a result, the malfunctioning protein builds up in cells unchecked and keeps the remaining healthy p53 from doing its job. Without the genome’s guardian on patrol, precancerous cells survive and reproduce. This gives them the opportunity to build up the additional mutations they need to become fully malignant.

At this point, it’s slightly unclear which if any P53 stabilization strategy will pan out. They are trying like hell... with some promising results.

SIDE NOTES
- ovarian cancer, almost always has p53 mutations.
- Healthy P53’s = Good to fight Cancer
- Mutated P53’s = Not good, they are essentially working on restoring them back to healthy P53’s. Hope I explained this OK, hopefully Im not to far off base with my understanding ? I will post another question regarding trials of P53's vs. also worrying about other mutations (Kras, Braf, ect.. ) as the waters get

The Letters represent the amino acid substitution in the protein or in this case the Kras Gene. So for Kras G12D that is - in position 12 of the Kras Gene the normal wild type has a Glycine (Abbreviated G) that has been changed to an Aspartic Acid (abbreviated D) in the mutation. These two amino acids are very different in shape and as a result greatly effects the binding of inhibitors of KRAS. Kras G12D is the most common mutation of Kras but there are others. I believe about 30% of colon cancers have mutations in Kras.

Dear GrouseMan,
Do you know if I should care that my husband has another kind of Kras? See my signature, ”Kras G13D”. We do not know about any other mutations, like T53 etc. No test done for that as far as I know.

KRAS G13D would be similar to G12D, it's just in the 13th Codon instead of the 12th.

I think that most Genomic Tumor Testing is done using Next Generation Sequencing and this scans for all known mutations. My report listed what I had that was known. It found two other abnormalities that were unknown - those I'm not going to worry about. I think that the one-at-a-time was with older sequencing machines.

Well.. thank you for replying Mike.
I do understand it is in a different codon. Not sure it is “similar to G12D” though.. I have seen research where they say there are differences between Kras codon 12 and 13 - in respons to treatments for example. Also some trials have specific Kras xxxx mentioned so why do they have that if it is ‘the same’?
Maybe all KRAS are not the same?
That is why I asked GrouseMan since he is a researcher.

I agree that all of these things are different. G12V seems to be more aggressive than G12D. And G12D is known to work with TIL with certain Alleles present.

I've done a moderate amount of research on G12D because I have it and G13D because someone else that I know has it.

There weren't a lot of treatment options for these things until the TIL stuff came along.

I think that you can get some appreciation in the many articles out there on the "undruggable" aspect of KRAS. Drugmakers have been working on fighting KRAS for 30 years and have been largely unsuccessful which is why we wind up using 5FU, Oxaliplatin and generally using awful chemo drugs to treat it. TIL is very promising. You can go around looking at research articles on KRAS G12D or G12V or G13D to see what's being done or attempts to solve them in the past. I like to search Twitter for research articles on this stuff because a lot of researchers or their organizations or even ASCO post their abstracts there.

I chatted with the pathologist (also HMS professor) that wrote my Genomic Tumor report and he told me that there were no targeted therapies available for me. I mentioned TIL and he indicated that the odds that I would have the indicated Allele were very small. Though the paper that he read might not have talked about the other Alleles that worked - my odds on one of the other alleles was about 30%.

Thank you so much that is very well put, My oncologist dose not seem hopeful. I looked at the letters and mine are G12S stupid ? but why the S and not the D?? they are trying one last chemo of oxy and 5FU then I guess clinical Trial :( I appreciate all the help I can get.

The KRAS G12S mutation arises from a single nucleotide change (c.34G>A) and results in an amino acid substitution of the glycine (G) at position 12 by a serine (S).

But I seem to have missed something: what is TIL?


Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes. Work done at NCI with one of the members here to cure KRAS G12D.

KRAS is one of the most frequently mutated proto-oncogenes in human cancers. The dominant
oncogenic mutations of KRAS are single amino acid substitutions at codon 12, in particular G12D
and G12V present in 60–70% of pancreatic cancers and 20–30% of colorectal cancers. The
consistency, frequency, and tumor specificity of these “neo-antigens” make them attractive
therapeutic targets. Recent data associates T cells that target mutated antigens with clinical
immunotherapy responses in patients with metastatic melanoma, lung cancer, or
cholangiocarcinoma. Using HLA-peptide prediction algorithms, we noted that HLA-A*11:01
could potentially present mutated KRAS variants. By immunizing HLA-A*11:01 transgenic mice,
we generated murine T cells and subsequently isolated T-cell receptors (TCRs) highly reactive to
the mutated KRAS variants G12V and G12D. Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) transduced
with these TCRs could recognize multiple HLA-A*11:01+ tumor lines bearing the appropriate
KRAS mutations. In a xenograft model of large established tumor, adoptive transfer of these
transduced PBLs reactive with an HLA-A*11:01, G12D-mutated pancreatic cell line could
significantly reduce its growth in NSG mice (P = 0.002). The success of adoptive transfer of TCR-
engineered T cells against melanoma and other cancers support clinical trials with these T cells
that recognize mutated KRAS in patients with a variety of common cancer types.

We identified a polyclonal CD8+ T-cell response against mutant KRAS G12D in tumor-infiltrating
lymphocytes obtained from a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer. We observed objective
regression of all seven lung metastases after the infusion of approximately 1.11×10 11 HLA-
C*08:02–restricted tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes that were composed of four different T-cell
clonotypes that specifically targeted KRAS G12D. However, one of these lesions had progressed
on evaluation 9 months after therapy. The lesion was resected and found to have lost the
chromosome 6 haplotype encoding the HLA-C*08:02 class I major histocompatibility complex
(MHC) molecule. The loss of expression of this molecule provided a direct mechanism of tumor
immune evasion. Thus, the infusion of CD8+ cells targeting mutant KRAS mediated effective
antitumor immunotherapy against a cancer that expressed mutant KRAS G12D and HLA-
C*08:02.
