A targetable ALDH3A2-NRF2 axis mediates KEAP1-mutant tumour development via ferroptosis inhibition
Abstract The transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a master regulator of the cellular antioxidant response that defends against ferroptosis and facilitates tumour development. Here, by performing an aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) family shRNA screen, our study identifies aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family member A2 (ALDH3A2) as a potent NRF2 activator that inhibits ferroptosis.

Pharmacological targeting of casein kinase 1δ suppresses oncogenic NRAS-driven melanoma - Nature Communications
Abstract Activating mutations in NRAS account for 15–20% of melanoma, yet effective anti-NRAS therapies are still lacking. In this study, we unveil the casein kinase 1δ (CK1δ) as an uncharacterized regulator of oncogenic NRAS mutations, specifically Q61R and Q61K, which are the most prevalent NRAS mutations in melanoma. The genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of CK1δ markedly destabilizes NRAS mutants and suppresses their oncogenic functions.
