Kinase-Dead BRAF and Oncogenic RAS Cooperate to Drive Tumor Progression through CRAF

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
It is shown that drugs that selectively inhibit BRAF drive RAS-dependent BRAF binding to CRAF, CRAF activation, and MEK–ERK signaling, demonstrating that BRAF inhibition per se does not drive pathway activation; it only occurs when BRAF is inhibited in the presence of oncogenic RAS.

Melanomas acquire resistance to B-RAF(V600E) inhibition by RTK or N-RAS upregulation

TL;DR: It is shown that melanomas escape B-RAF(V600E) targeting not through secondary B-RF(V 600E) mutations but via receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-mediated activation of alternative survival pathway(s) or activated RAS-mediated reactivation of the MAPK pathway, suggesting additional therapeutic strategies.

Specificity of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling: Transient versus sustained extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation

Christopher J. Marshall
- 27 Jan 1995 - 
TL;DR: Experiments with PC12 cells suggest that the duration of ERK activation is critical for cell signaling decisions, and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK-regulated) MAPK pathway may be sufficient for these cellular responses.

Feasibility of a High-Flux Anticancer Drug Screen Using a Diverse Panel of Cultured Human Tumor Cell Lines

TL;DR: A pilot-scale, in vitro, anticancer drug screen utilizing a panel of 60 human tumor cell lines organized into subpanels representing leukemia, melanoma, and cancers of the lung, colon, kidney, ovary, and central nervous system is described.

Mechanism of Activation of the Raf-Erk Signaling Pathway by Oncogenic Mutations of B-Raf

TL;DR: The high activity mutants signal to ERK by directly phosphorylating MEK, whereas the impaired activity mutants stimulate MEK by activating endogenous C-RAF, possibly via an allosteric or transphosphorylation mechanism.

Analysis of lung tumor initiation and progression using conditional expression of oncogenic K-ras

TL;DR: It is shown that the use of a recombinant adenovirus expressing Cre recombinase (AdenoCre) to induce K-ras G12D expression in the lungs of mice allows control of the timing and multiplicity of tumor initiation.
