The integrated stress response is tumorigenic and constitutes a therapeutic liability in KRAS-driven lung cancer

The Integrated Stress Response (ISR) is a cytoprotective pathway upregulated in many cancers. Here the authors show that the activation of PERK/p-eIF2α arm of ISR enhances ERK phosphorylation through translation repression of DUSP6, thus resulting in KRAS-driven lung tumorigenesis.
