Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To study the molecular mechanism regulating sensitivity to MEK inhibition in pancreatic cancer cell lines. METHODS: A growth inhibition assay determined sensitivity to MEK162 in a panel of 29 pancreatic cancer cell lines. For the same panel, KRAS mutational status and copy-number variation (CNV) was determine using PCR, array CGH and FISH. Two sensitive and two resistant cell lines were further...
