Abstract Text | MEK1/2 and BRAFV600E inhibitors are used to treat BRAFV600E-positive melanoma, with other cancers under evaluation. Genetic perturbation of copper import or pharmacologic reduction of copper with the clinical copper chelator TTM inhibits MEK1/2 kinase activity and reduces BRAFV600E-driven tumorigenesis. In this study, we report that TTM inhibited transformed growth of melanoma cell lines resistant to BRAF or MEK1/2 inhibitors and enhanced the antineoplastic activity of these inhibitors. TTM also provided a survival advantage in a genetically engineered mouse model of melanoma, and when accounting for putative overdosing, trended toward an increase in the survival benefit afforded by BRAF inhibition. This effect was phenocopied by genetically inhibiting copper import in tumors, which was linked to a reduction in MAPK signaling. Thus, TTM reduces copper levels and MAPK signaling, thereby inhibiting BRAFV600E-driven melanoma tumor growth. These observations inform and support clinical evaluation of TTM in melanoma.

MAP2K1 | D67N | missense | gain of function | MAP2K1 D67N does not lie within any known functional domains of the Map2k1 protein (UniProt.org). D67N confers a gain of function to Map2k1 as demonstrated by increased Erk activation (PMID: 25049390, PMID: 29483135), increased Rsk phosphorylation (PMID: 25351745), and transformation in culture (PMID: 25351745, PMID: 36442478), and is associated with BRAF inhibitor resistance in the context of BRAF V600E in culture (PMID: 28986383). | Y |
MAP2K1 | E203K | missense | gain of function | MAP2K1 E203K lies within the protein kinase domain of the Map2k1 protein (UniProt.org). E203K confers a gain of function to the Map2k1 protein as demonstrated by constitutive Erk phosphorylation (PMID: 22197931, PMID: 29483135) and cell transformation in culture (PMID: 22197931), and is associated with drug resistance in the context of BRAF V600E in culture (PMID: 28986383). | Y |
MAP2K1 | P264L | missense | unknown | MAP2K1 P264L lies within the protein kinase domain of the Map2k1 protein (UniProt.org). P264L has been demonstrated to confer resistance to Raf inhibitors in the context of BRAF V600E in culture (PMID: 28986383), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Map2k1 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Sep 2024). | Y |
