Abstract Text

BRAF fusions are detected in numerous neoplasms, but their clinical management remains unresolved. We identified six melanoma lines harboring BRAF fusions representative of the clinical cases reported in the literature. Their unexpected heterogeneous responses to RAF and MEK inhibitors could be categorized upon specific features of the fusion kinases. Higher expression level correlated with resistance, and fusion partners containing a dimerization domain promoted paradoxical activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and hyperproliferation in response to first- and second-generation RAF inhibitors. By contrast, next-generation αC-IN/DFG-OUT RAF inhibitors blunted paradoxical activation across all lines and had their therapeutic efficacy further increased in vitro and in vivo by combination with MEK inhibitors, opening perspectives in the clinical management of tumors harboring BRAF fusions.

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
