Abstract excerpt
High expression levels of survivin in KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinomas are linked with unfavorable patient outcomes, suggesting that survivin is a promising target for tumor treatment. We found that trametinib, a MEK inhibitor, downregulates survivin expression in the RB1-positive KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinoma cell lines H358 and H441. In these cell lines, trametinib treatment induced p21 expression and...
