Although U2AF1S34F is a recurrent splicing factor mutation in lung adenocarcinoma (ADC), U2AF1S34F alone is insufficient for producing tumors in previous models. Because lung ADCs with U2AF1S34F frequently have co-occurring KRAS mutations and smoking histories, we hypothesized that tumor-forming potential arises from U2AF1S34F interacting with oncogenic KRAS and environmental stress. To elucidate the effect of U2AF1S34F co-occurring with a second mutation, we generated human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC3kt) with co-occurring U2AF1S34F and KRASG12V. Transcriptome analysis revealed that co-occurring U2AF1S34F and KRASG12V differentially impacts inflammatory, cell cycle, and KRAS pathways. Subsequent phenotyping found associated suppressed cytokine production, increased proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, and tumors in mouse xenografts. Interestingly, HBEC3kts harboring only U2AF1S34F display increased splicing in stress granule protein genes and viability in cigarette smoke concentrate. Our results suggest that U2AF1S34F may potentiate transformation by granting precancerous cells survival advantage in environmental stress, permitting accumulation of additional mutations like KRASG12V, which synergize with U2AF1S34F to transform the cell.
