FAM83A acts as an amplifier for lipogenic signaling to facilitate the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. (PubMed, Metabolism)
FAM83A promotes MASH pathogenesis by interacting with RAF1 to activate ERK signaling, thereby stimulating fatty acid and cholesterol biosynthesis. Targeting this axis may offer therapeutic potential for MASH and metabolic dyslipidemia.

Conserved Gαq-PLCβ-PKC signaling mediates trametinib resistance in BRAF V600E melanoma. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Importantly, this resistance mechanism is conserved in human melanoma: combined MEK and Gαq-PLCβ-PKC inhibition markedly enhances trametinib efficacy in BRAF V600E melanoma cells and xenografts, and reverses acquired resistance in trametinib-resistant melanoma sublines. Together, our results identify a conserved Gαq-PLCβ-PKC pathway as a driver of trametinib resistance and provide preclinical evidence for its co-targeting with MEK inhibition as a therapeutic strategy in BRAF V600E melanoma.

ATAD2 drives melanoma growth and progression and inhibits ferroptosis. (PubMed, EMBO Rep)
The ferroptosis inducer erastin also inhibits melanoma growth. Combining the ATAD2 inhibitor BAY-850 with the MEK inhibitor trametinib potently suppresses melanoma growth. Our study identifies ATAD2 as a key driver of melanoma and provides a rationale for targeting ATAD2 in conjunction with the MAPK pathway to treat melanoma.

First Report of Trametinib-Nintedanib Combination in KRAS G12D-Mutated Pancreatic Cancer: Efficacy and Fatal Hemorrhagic Complication: A Case Report. (PubMed, Clin Case Rep)
This is the first report of trametinib-nintedanib for a 57-year-old KRAS G12D-mutated recurrent pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. He had transient remission (lower CA19-9, stable lesions) but died of gastrointestinal bleeding, showing efficacy and bleeding risk.

SCD1 drives bladder cancer progression and trametinib sensitivity. (PubMed, Pathol Res Pract)
Furthermore, drug sensitivity predictions and validations suggest that SCD1 enhances the sensitivity of BCa cells to trametinib. Therefore, SCD1 offers a promising new avenue for the early diagnosis, prognostic assessment, and optimization of personalized treatment strategies for BCa.

Clinical characteristics and healthcare burden of neurofibromatosis type 1 in Saudi Arabia: a single centre experience. (PubMed, Hered Cancer Clin Pract)
This study highlights the clinical and healthcare challenges of NF1 and PN in Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach that combines medical, psychological, and financial support. The limited access to Selumetinib represents a gap. Increasing treatment accessibility and financial support are key to improving the outcomes and QoL.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Relapse after Bromodomain Inhibitor Treatment or Chemotherapy is Characterized by Myc-Ras Transcriptional Remodeling. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Here we show that the BET inhibitor PLX51107 potently suppresses the growth of NRAS -mutant AML cell lines, and that these activities are enhanced by co-treatment with the MEK inhibitor PD0325901. AMLs that relapsed after frontline chemotherapy showed similar transcriptional remodeling. These studies demonstrate transcriptional plasticity in primary AMLs that relapse following in vivo treatment with either targeted agents or chemotherapy, and support evaluating BET inhibition in leukemias with monocytic differentiation and RAS mutations.

Targeting BRAF Class II and III Mutations in NSCLC with the pan-RAF inhibitor Exarafenib Reveals ARAF-KSR1-Mediated Resistance and Rational Combination Strategies. (PubMed, Res Sq)
The exarafenib plus binimetinib combination demonstrated superior efficacy in diverse preclinical models. This study establishes ARAF-KSR1 complex formation as a novel resistance mechanism to pan-RAF inhibition and provides mechanistic rationale for combination strategies with potential to address the unmet clinical need for BRAF Class II and III-mutated NSCLC.

APOA1 as a Potential Therapeutic Target and Novel Biomarker in Lung Adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Cell Biochem Funct)
Drug sensitivity analysis revealed enhanced efficacy of agents like selumetinib in high-APOA1 tumors. This integrated, cross-layer evidence positions APOA1 as a tumor suppressor and actionable biomarker in LUAD, with implications for early detection, therapeutic stratification, and immunomodulatory strategies.

A prognostic model derived from PANoptosis-associated subtypes unveils immunological features and therapeutic vulnerabilities in cervical cancer. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
This study establishes a PANoptosis-derived prognostic model with moderate but consistent prognostic utility across platforms, underscoring its potential research value. By linking PRGs to risk stratification and immune heterogeneity, the model provides insights into PANoptosis biology and supports future exploration of personalized immunotherapy in cervical cancer.
