Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of the p16-cyclin D1-CDK4/6-Rb pathway occurs frequently in melanoma; however, the therapeutic efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibition remains to be critically evaluated. We demonstrate that CDK4/6 inhibition inhibits melanoma progression through induction of senescence. Palbociclib, a specific CDK4/6 inhibitor, rapidly induces cell cycle arrest within 24 hours and continued exposure for 8 days or longer...
