We report that the protein kinase Cι (PKCι) oncogene controls expression of NOTCH3, a key driver of stemness, in KRAS-mediated lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). PKCι activates NOTCH3 expression by phosphorylating the ELF3 transcription factor and driving ELF3 occupancy on the NOTCH3 promoter. PKCι-ELF3-NOTCH3 signaling controls the tumor-initiating cell (TIC) phenotype by regulating asymmetric cell division, a process necessary for tumor initiation and maintenance. Primary LADC tumors exhibit PKCι-ELF3-NOTCH3 signaling, and combined pharmacologic blockade of PKCι and NOTCH synergistically inhibits tumorigenic behavior in vitro and LADC growth in vivo demonstrating the therapeutic potential of PKCι-ELF3-NOTCH3 signal inhibition to more effectively treat KRAS LADC. Ali et al. show that in KRAS-mediated lung adenocarcinoma, PKCι controls NOTCH3 expression by phosphorylating ELF3 and driving occupancy at the NOTCH3 promoter. PKCι-ELF3-NOTCH3 signaling controls the TIC phenotype and combined blockade of PKCι and NOTCH has a synergistic anti-tumor effect in vitro and in vivo.
