Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: While combination BRAF and MEK inhibitor treatment in BRAFV600E-mutant cancers results in a response, treatment resistance and toxicity are common. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death. BRAF inhibition has been associated with increased sensitivity to ferroptosis that is dependent on Glutathione Peroxidase 4 (GPX4). METHODS: In vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models of...
