Targeting melanoma’s MCL1 bias unleashes the apoptotic potential of BRAF and ERK1/2 pathway inhibitors

BRAF or MEK1/2 inhibitors are cytostatic in melanoma and the surviving cells develop drug resistance. This study shows that the pro-survival pool is biased towards MCL1 in melanoma so that BRAF or MEK1/2 inhibitors are synthetic lethal with the MCL1 inhibitor AZD5991, improving tumour growth inhibit...

Sumario:BRAF or MEK1/2 inhibitors are cytostatic in melanoma and the surviving cells develop drug resistance. This study shows that the pro-survival pool is biased towards MCL1 in melanoma so that BRAF or MEK1/2 inhibitors are synthetic lethal with the MCL1 inhibitor AZD5991, improving tumour growth inhibition.
