Surrogate to predict overall survival in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant colorectal cancer treated with BRAF inhibitor combinations [PDF]
Background: The BRAF V600E mutation, found in up to 12% of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, is associated with aggressive disease and poor response to standard chemotherapy.

JUN dependency in distinct early and late BRAF inhibition adaptation states of melanoma. [PDF]
A prominent mechanism of acquired resistance to BRAF inhibitors in BRAF (V600) -mutant melanoma is associated with the upregulation of receptor tyrosine kinases.

Rapid and dramatic responses to dabrafenib and trametinib in BRAF V600E‐mutated lung adenocarcinoma
V‐raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homologue B1 (BRAF) is a proto‐oncogene that regulates cell proliferation and survival. BRAF V600E‐mutated lung cancer has aggressive characteristics and is resistant to chemotherapies.

CRISPR Screens Identify Essential Cell Growth Mediators in BRAF Inhibitor-resistant Melanoma
BRAF is a serine/threonine kinase that harbors activating mutations in ∼7% of human malignancies and ∼60% of melanomas. Despite initial clinical responses to BRAF inhibitors, patients frequently develop drug resistance.

Targeting human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) in phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) deficient melanoma cells for personalized therapy [PDF]
Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) loss is associated with genomic instability. APE1 is a key player in DNA base excision repair (BER) and an emerging drug target in cancer.

BRAF mutation and its inhibitors in sarcoma treatment
The mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway plays a significant role in mediating cellular physiological activities, such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and senescence.

Dabrafenib; preclinical characterization, increased efficacy when combined with trametinib, while BRAF/MEK tool combination reduced skin lesions. [PDF]
Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathway activation has been implicated in many types of human cancer. BRAF mutations that constitutively activate MAPK signalling and bypass the need for upstream stimuli occur with high prevalence in melanoma ...

PERK mediates resistance to BRAF inhibition in melanoma with impaired PTEN
Targeting mutant BRAF in patients with melanomas harboring this oncogene has been highly successful as a first-line treatment, but other mutations may affect its efficacy and alter the route of acquired resistance resulting in recurrence and poor ...

BRAF Splice Variant Resistance to RAF Inhibitor Requires Enhanced MEK Association
Summary: Expression of aberrantly spliced BRAF V600E isoforms (BRAF V600E ΔEx) mediates resistance in 13%–30% of melanoma patients progressing on RAF inhibitors. BRAF V600E ΔEx confers resistance, in part, through enhanced dimerization.
