PLX4720

While the BRAF inhibitor PLX4720 effectively reduced primary tumors and extended survival, it paradoxically increased sarcomatoid metastases...We conclude that BRAFV600E drives diverse primary tumors but only one type of metastasis and that RAF inhibition, while effective against primary tumors, may promote metastasis through TGFβ2-mediated EMT. Although RAF inhibitors remain promising therapies, their unintended role in enhancing metastasis raises concerns that may extend beyond liver cancer to other BRAFV600E-driven malignancies.

Sensitivity analysis of 60 chemotherapy agents indicated that Bicalutamide was more effective in LRG, while ATRA, CCT018159, PHA-665752, and PLX4720 demonstrated greater efficacy in HRG. RT-qPCR validation confirmed upregulation of CDK4 and downregulation of CFLAR in ALL samples (P < 0.05). This study offers important theoretical support for the prognostic evaluation and personalized treatment strategies in ALL.

Gadd45B plays a pivotal role in regulating the differentiation status and RAI sensitivity of BRAFV600E-mutated thyroid cancer. These findings identify Gadd45B as a promising therapeutic target for restoring RAI responsiveness in RAIR-DTC patients.

Type I inhibitor SB590885 is roughly equipotent across RAF isoforms and, as expected, type I.5 inhibitors are typically most potent against BRAFV600E. Crystal structures of CRAF in complex with type I.5 inhibitor PLX4720 reveal an asymmetric CRAF dimer with one CRAF subunit bound in the inactive state and the second bound in an αC-helix-in, active conformation with an altered inhibitor pose. Our findings have important implications for understanding the pharmacology of current RAF inhibitors and will inform development of new agents with distinct isoform selectivity.

Furthermore, several targeted drugs, including MK-2206, pazopanib, JNK inhibitor VIII, PLX4720, and NU-7441, were associated with risk scores. This study identified five TRP-related biomarkers associated with RC prognosis, providing novel insights into the role of TRP channels in RC development. These findings may contribute to a deeper understanding of RC pathogenesis and offer potential targets for personalized therapy.

Drug sensitivity analysis revealed differences in the IC50 values of OSI-027, PLX-4720, UMI-77, and Sapitinib between the high-risk and low-risk groups. Enrichment analysis revealed that these prognostic ARGs were primarily enriched in pathways and biological processes related to tumorigenesis. The risk model of ARGs can effectively predict READ prognosis and provide potential therapeutic targets.

Taken together, this study provides the first experimental evidence to demonstrate that all G12 mutation cell lines are sensitive to VS6766 applied either alone or combined with 5-FU or AKT inhibitor.

These targets were subsequently applied to investigate proteomic changes in multiple BRAF-mutant melanoma cell lines treated with a BRAF inhibitor (PLX4720, i.e., vemurafenib). Our findings revealed differential regulation of the XBP1s branch of the UPR in the BRAF-mutant melanoma cell lines after PLX4720 treatment, likely due to calcium activation, suggesting that the UPR plays a role as a non-genetic mechanism of drug tolerance in melanoma. In conclusion, the validated branch-specific UPR proteomic targets identified in this study provide a robust framework for investigating this pathway across different cell types, drug treatments, and disease conditions in a high-throughput manner.

The CRG-based risk signature model effectively predicts the prognosis of GBM patients and aids in assessing the efficacy of ICI therapy and chemotherapy. Furthermore, the genes LEFTY2, SERPINC1 and the drug PLX4720 offer potential directions for the development of novel therapeutic strategies for GBM.

Furthermore, nine candidate drugs with potential therapeutic efficacy in EC were identified: Bleomycin, Cisplatin, Cyclopamine, PLX4720, Erlotinib, Gefitinib, RO.3306, XMD8.85, and WH.4.023. Furthermore, it identifies potential therapeutic agents with efficacy against EC. These findings hold significant promise for enhancing the survival of EC patients and provide valuable insights to inform clinical decision-making in the management of this disease.
