Alterations in KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS occur in roughly 20% of patients with cancer, making RAS one of the most intensively studied oncogenic targets. The discovery of mutant-selective KRASG12C inhibitors has provided a proof-of-concept for RAS-directed therapies, heralding a new era in the treatment of RAS-driven cancers. Yet, the efficacy of first-generation KRASG12C inhibitors is limited by the rapid emergence of resistance. Novel classes of (K)RAS inhibitors with distinct mechanisms of action and broader target coverage hold promise to overcome resistance and extend the benefits of RAS-targeted therapies to a wider patient population. In this review, we summarize clinical evidence for KRASG12C inhibitors across tumor types and delineate key mechanisms of resistance. We further discuss the rapidly evolving landscape of next-generation (K)RAS inhibitors, with particular emphasis on their target selectivity, mechanisms of action, preliminary clinical efficacy, and the therapeutic opportunities and challenges inherent to each class.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has shown remarkable success in hematologic malignancies and autoimmune diseases but remains limited in solid tumors due to antigen heterogeneity, escape, and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) dominated by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). We developed a macrophage-directed CAR T strategy targeting TREM2+ immunosuppressive TAMs, achieving potent in vitro activity and robust antitumor efficacy in vivo. To enhance intratumoral activity, we incorporated synthetic CAR-responsive biosensors containing NFAT, IRF, and AP1 motifs that enable localized IL-12 secretion upon activation. In an immunocompetent human TREM2 transgenic murine model, IL-12-armored hTREM2 CAR T cells remodel the TME and tumor-draining lymph nodes, depleting TREM2+ TAMs, enhancing T and natural killer (NK) cell infiltration and activation, and inducing tumor regression without systemic toxicity. This study highlights the potential for developing universal and efficacious CAR T cell therapies targeting tumor-associated macrophages for the treatment of solid tumors.

Lymphatic vessels activate anti-tumor immune surveillance and support metastasis. Whether there are distinct lymphatic phenotypes that govern immunity and metastasis remains unclear. Here we reveal that cytotoxic immunity normalizes lymphatic function and uncouples immune and metastatic potential. We demonstrate that intratumoral lymphatic vessel density negatively correlates with cytotoxic immunity and that IFNγ reprograms the intratumoral lymphatic state. Lymphatic deletion of Ifngr1 expanded the intratumoral lymphatic network and drove the emergence of a tip-like state that promotes lymph node metastasis but not dendritic cell migration or response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Mechanistically, IFNγ restrains proliferation and cell state programs through inhibition of mitochondrial respiration. Lymphatic-specific inhibition of mitochondrial complex III restrained the intratumoral tip-like state, blocked metastasis, and enhanced the response to ICB. Our data reveal that IFNγ induces a metabolic and phenotypic switch in tumor-associated lymphatic vessels that blocks regional metastasis and reinforces immune surveillance.

Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is an aggressive pediatric brain tumor with no curative treatment, and lacks a comprehensive understanding of immune-tumor cell interactions within their spatial context. Our multi-omics approach, integrating single-nuclei RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and high-dimensional imaging, utilizes patient samples and an experimental murine DMG model to unveil two spatially distinct regions. MES-patterns are defined by mesenchymal (MES) tumor cells and blood-derived immune cells, whereas AOO-patterns are enriched with astrocyte (AC)-, oligodendrocyte (OC)-, and oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC)-like cancer populations, alongside homeostatic-like microglia. The less-studied immune checkpoint, IGSF11, is primarily expressed by AOO-associated cancer cells, while its receptor VISTA is detected mainly in homeostatic microglia. Targeting IGSF11-VISTA results in tumor reduction and survival benefit, mediated by brain-resident microglia and independent of T cell infiltration. This positions IGSF11-VISTA as a promising immune checkpoint treatment axis to harness the local brain immune response against DMG.

Primary de novo high grade gliomas, such as glioblastoma and lower grade gliomas both converge on a common aggressive phenotype, and the basis for this progression is unknown. Glioma associated macrophages (GAM) have been strongly implicated in supporting tumor growth, however, robust isolation of functional subpopulations has been elusive. We hypothesize that functional populations of GAMs can be resolved through gene regulatory network (GRN) inference and show that a subpopulation of human GAMs, defined by a GRN centered around the activator protein-1 transcription factor FOSL2 is preferentially enriched in high grade gliomas. We nominate ANXA1 and HMOX1 as surrogate cell surface markers for a subpopulation we term malignancy associated GAMs (mGAMs) which possess distinct pro-tumorigenic properties, share partial ontogeny with peripheral blood monocytes, and are enriched in newly transformed regions of glioma. mGAMs potentially play a pivotal role in glioma progression and represent a plausible therapeutic target.

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Zhang et al. show that dual KRAS-EGFR inhibition induces a reversible Paneth-like transition in colorectal cancer, sustaining mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) reactivation through a SMAD1-FGFR3 axis. This reinforces emerging evidence that lineage remodeling underlies early adaptive escape from targeted therapy and carries potential clinical relevance.
