Abstract
SHP2 promotes RAS-driven MAPK signalling, but it is unclear why cancer cells with distinct KRAS mutations exhibit differential sensitivity to SHP2 inhibition. Here the authors show that KRAS Q61H is decoupled from SHP2- mediated upstream regulation, thus Q61H pancreatic cancer cells maintain MAPK signalling and are refractory to SHP2 inhibitors.
