LKB1/STK11 is a serine/threonine kinase that plays a major role in controlling cell metabolism, resulting in potential therapeutic vulnerabilities in LKB1-mutant cancers. Here, we identify the NAD+degrading ectoenzyme, CD38, as a new target in LKB1-mutant NSCLC. Metabolic profiling of genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) revealed that LKB1 mutant lung cancers have a striking increase in ADP-ribose, a breakdown product of the critical redox co-factor, NAD+. Surprisingly, compared with other genetic subsets, murine and human LKB1-mutant NSCLC show marked overexpression of the NAD+-catabolizing ectoenzyme, CD38 on the surface of tumor cells. Loss of LKB1 or inactivation of Salt-Inducible Kinases (SIKs)—key downstream effectors of LKB1— induces CD38 transcription induction via a CREB binding site in the CD38 promoter. Treatment with the FDA-approved anti-CD38 antibody, daratumumab, inhibited growth of LKB1-mutant NSCLC xenografts. Together, these results reveal CD38 as a promising therapeutic target in patients with LKB1 mutant lung cancer.SIGNIFICANCELoss-of-function mutations in theLKB1tumor suppressor of lung adenocarcinoma patients and are associated with resistance to current treatments. Our study identified CD38 as a potential therapeutic target that is highly overexpressed in this specific subtype of cancer, associated with a shift in NAD homeostasis.
