Abstract Text | Resistance to BRAF inhibitors is an emerging problem in the melanoma field. Strategies to prevent and overcome resistance are urgently required.The dynamics of cell signalling, BrdU incorporation and cell-cycle entry after BRAF inhibition was measured using flow cytometry and western blot. The ability of combined BRAF/MEK inhibition to prevent the emergence of resistance was demonstrated by apoptosis and colony formation assays and in 3D organotypic cell culture.BRAF inhibition led to a rapid recovery of phospho-ERK (pERK) signalling. Although most of the cells remained growth arrested in the presence of drug, a minor population of cells retained their proliferative potential and escaped from BRAF inhibitor therapy. A function for the rebound pERK signalling in therapy escape was demonstrated by the ability of combined BRAF/MEK inhibition to enhance the levels of apoptosis and abrogate the onset of resistance.Combined BRAF/MEK inhibition may be one strategy to prevent the emergence of drug resistance in BRAF-V600E-mutated melanomas. |
