MEK inhibitor GSK1120212-mediated radiosensitization of pancreatic cancer cells involves inhibition of DNA double-strand break repair pathways
28 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Over 90% of pancreatic adenocarcinoma PC express oncogenic mutant KRAS that constitutively activates the Raf-MEK-MAPK pathway conferring resistance to both radiation and chemotherapy. MEK inhibitors have shown promising anti-tumor responses in recent preclinical and clinical studies, and are currently being tested in combination with radiation in clinical trials. Here, we have evaluated the...
