Abstract excerpt
Resistance to Vemurafenib (VEM), a targeted BRAFV600E inhibitor, was examined in the metastatic paratetraploid (XX, abnormal Y chromosome) melanoma cell line, SkMel28. During the first week of treatment, pERK suppression coincided with transcriptomic and phenotypic changes related to senescence, autophagy/mitophagy, neuro-melanogenesis, and cell co-alignment. By the second week, MAPK-ERK signalling was restored,...
