KRAS and adenocarcinoma: This study examined the knockout of five KRAS-related proteins-galectin-3 (GAL3), phosphodiesterase delta (PDEδ), nucleophosmin (NPM1), IQ motif-containing GTPase-activating protein 1 (IQGAP1), and SHOC2-using CRISPR-Cas9 in adenocarcinoma cell lines harboring the KRAS(G12V) oncogenic mutation, as well as in the noncancerous HEK-293 cell line.
