Tumorigenesis driven by the BRAF <sup>V600E</sup> oncoprotein requires secondary mutations that overcome its feedback inhibition of migration and invasion
2023-11-21
Abstract excerpt
BRAF V600E mutation occurs in 46% of melanomas and drives high levels of ERK activity and ERK-dependent proliferation. However, BRAF V600E is insufficient to drive melanoma in GEMM models, and 82% of human benign nevi harbor BRAF V600E mutations. We show here that BRAF V600E inhibits mesenchymal migration by causing feedback inhibition of RAC1 activity. ERK pathway inhibition induces RAC1 activation and rest...
