Interestingly, concomitant expression of KRASG12D with genetic silencing of NKX2-1 expression has qualitatively different effects, promoting trans-differentiation of tumor cells into a gastric fate resembling de-differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma (Snyder et al., 2013), an effect that requires the activity of FOXA1/FOXA2 (Camolotto et al., 2018). Here, NKX2-1 is linked to mucinous adenocarcinoma.
