mTOR Inhibition Induces Upstream Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Signaling and Activates Akt

TL;DR: The data suggest that feedback down-regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling is a frequent event in tumor cells with constitutive mTOR activation, and reversal of this feedback loop by rapamycin may attenuate its therapeutic effects, whereas combination therapy that ablates mTOR function and prevents Akt activation may have improved antitumor activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

RAF inhibitors transactivate RAF dimers and ERK signalling in cells with wild-type BRAF

TL;DR: Because RAF inhibitors do not inhibit ERK signalling in other cells, the model predicts that they would have a higher therapeutic index and greater antitumour activity than mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors, but could also cause toxicity due to MEK/ERK activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal Structure of an Hsp90–Geldanamycin Complex: Targeting of a Protein Chaperone by an Antitumor Agent

TL;DR: The structure of the geldanamycin-binding domain of Hsp90 reveals a pronounced pocket that is highly conserved across species, and the pocket's similarity to substrate-binding sites suggest that the pocket binds a portion of the polypeptide substrate and participates in the conformational maturation/refolding reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

BRAF mutation predicts sensitivity to MEK inhibition

TL;DR: It is found that mutation of BRAF is associated with enhanced and selective sensitivity to MEK inhibition when compared to either ‘wild-type’ cells or cells harbouring a RAS mutation, suggesting an exquisite dependency on MEK activity in BRAF mutant tumours.
