Combating acquired resistance to MAPK inhibitors in melanoma by targeting Abl1/2-mediated reactivation of MEK/ERK/MYC signaling

Resistance to BRAF/MEK inhibitors is a major impediment to long-term survival for patients with BRAF-mutant melanomas. Here, the authors show that ABL kinases drive resistance by promoting MEK/ERK reactivation and the FDA-approved ABL kinase inhibitor nilotinib prevents and overcomes resistance.
