Abstract excerpt
Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) have fundamental roles in tumor progression. However, human clinical trials have shown little or no effect of inhibitors of their upstream signaling molecule, mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK), in advanced cancers. To determine the molecular mechanism underlying the limited antitumor effect, we cultured two human renal carcinoma cell lines, ACHN cells...
