October 2021 in “Scientific Reports” The study investigated the role of NKIRAS2 in carcinogenesis using transgenic mice with enforced expression of NKIRAS2 driven by a K15 promoter, primarily active in follicle bulge cells. The results showed that NKIRAS2 expression did not affect epidermal development but effectively suppressed DMBA/TPA-induced skin tumors, indicating a tumor suppressive role in follicle bulges. However, in murine fibroblasts, NKIRAS2 was necessary for HRAS-mutant-driven cellular transformation, with moderate expression enhancing and excessive expression suppressing oncogenic activity. This suggested that NKIRAS2's role in cancer is influenced by cellular context and expression level, exhibiting a biphasic effect on HRAS-driven oncogenesis.
