Abstract excerpt
Therapy resistance to a selective B-Raf inhibitor (BRAFi) poses a challenge in treating patients with BRAF-mutant melanomas. Here, we report that RNA interference of mortalin (HSPA9/GRP75), a mitochondrial molecular chaperone often upregulated and mislocalized in melanoma, can effectively induce death of vemurafenib-resistant progenies of human B-RafV600E melanoma cell lines, A375 and Colo-829. Mortalin depletion...
