Abstract:
:Unresponsiveness to therapy is a hallmark feature of advanced metastatic melanoma. However, the discovery of BRAF-activating mutations in approximately 50% of human melanomas has provided an attractive therapeutic target. Here, we discuss two recent publications focusing on the mutant BRAF kinase inhibitor PLX4032 that validate oncogene-targeted melanoma therapy.

CANCER CELL文献大全abstract::We show that imatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib possess weak off-target activity against RAF and, therefore, drive paradoxical activation of BRAF and CRAF in a RAS-dependent manner. Critically, because RAS is activated by BCR-ABL, in drug-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells, RAS activity persists in the pre...
