The human KIF5B-RET fusion protein with the G810S mutation in the RET section is expressed consistently in the Ba/F3-KIF5B-RET-G810S cell line thanks to genetic engineering.
Microtubule-dependent motor protein KIF5B can cause the production of neurite-like membrane protrusions and is necessary for the correct distribution of mitochondria and lysosomes. In the G2 phase of the cell cycle, it propels the separation of nuclei and centrosomes and controls centrosome and nuclear placement during mitotic entry. Additionally, it guides lysosome migration toward microtubule plus ends and aids in the anterograde axonal trafficking of MAPK8IP3/JIP3.
Once it binds with ligands from the glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor family, the receptor tyrosine-protein kinase (RET) plays important roles in a variety of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, neuronal navigation, migration, and differentiation. In addition to its involvement in intestinal organogenesis, the development of the enteric nervous system, renal organogenesis, and the generation of Peyer's patch-like structures, it governs cell death/survival balance and positional information. Moreover, RET influences cell adhesion, facilitates cell migration in an integrin-dependent way, and aids in the neural crest's growth.
The proliferation and survival of the murine pro-B cell line Ba/F3 is dependent on interleukin-3 (IL-3). Because of its ease of culture and genetic modification, it is frequently employed in research settings to examine various signaling pathways and biological processes.
Alterations in the RET gene, a receptor tyrosine kinase, are frequently observed in thyroid and lung cancers, where they contribute to tumor growth. In recent years, RET inhibitors have been used in clinical settings to treat thyroid cancer and are being explored in clinical trials for RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the role of mutations in the RET kinase domain, which may confer resistance to these therapies, remains an area of ongoing research. The researchers used BaF3/KIF5B-RET cells to investigate how mutations in the RET kinase domain impact the effectiveness of multiple RET-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including cabozantinib, lenvatinib, vandetanib, and nintedanib. By analyzing fourteen mutations, they identified several variants, such as G810S, that exhibited pan-resistance to all four TKIs. These findings highlight the importance of understanding RET mutation profiles to select the most effective treatment options.
