PARP Inhibitors Effectively Reduce MAPK Inhibitor Resistant Melanoma Cell Growth and Synergize with MAPK Inhibitors through a Synthetic Lethal Interaction In Vitro and In Vivo

Abstract excerpt

The efficacy of targeting the MAPK signaling pathway in patients with melanoma is limited by the rapid development of resistance mechanisms that result in disease relapse. In this article, we focus on targeting the DNA repair pathway as an antimelanoma therapy, especially in MAPK inhibitor resistant melanoma cells using PARP inhibitors. We found that MAPK inhibitor resistant melanoma cells are particularly...
