KRAS mutations drive a quarter of cancer mortality, and most are undruggable. Several inhibitors of the MAPK pathway are FDA approved but poorly tolerated at the doses needed to adequately extinguish RAS/RAF/MAPK signaling in the tumor cell. We found that oncogenic KRAS signaling induced ferrous iron (Fe2+) accumulation early in and throughout mutant KRAS-mediated transformation. We converted an FDA-approved MEK inhibitor into a ferrous iron-activatable drug conjugate (FeADC) and achieved potent MAPK blockade in tumor cells while sparing normal tissues. This innovation allowed sustainable, effective treatment of tumor-bearing animals, with tumor-selective drug activation, producing superior systemic tolerability. Ferrous iron accumulation is an exploitable feature of KRAS transformation, and FeADCs hold promise for improving the treatment of KRAS-driven solid tumors.

Liu et al. demonstrate that the PERK-triggered HSPC preconditioning in the spleen is essential for their myeloid descendant cells to become immune suppressors in response to subsequent tumor microenvironmental stimulation. A spleen-targeted PERK blockade could be an effective strategy of immunotherapy.

HBV exposure in children usually causes chronic infection, and HBsAg-specific CD8+ T cells are rarely detected in this situation. We find that mMDSCs, cross-presenting HBsAg, migrate to the thymus and eliminate HBsAg-specific CD8+ thymocytes, resulting in a specific tolerance to HBV.
