HNF4α controls growth, identity, and KRAS inhibitor response in invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung

Cellular plasticity is a hallmark of cancer, enabling tumor cells to alter identity and evade therapeutic pressure. In invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung (IMA), NK2 homeobox 1 (NKX2-1) loss triggers a pulmonary to gastric switch marked by aberrant activation of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4α), a master regulator of gastrointestinal/hepati
