MicroSCALE screening reveals genetic modifiers of therapeutic response in melanoma.
Cell microarrays are a promising tool for performing large-scale functional genomic screening in mammalian cells at reasonable cost, but owing to technical limitations they have been restricted for use with a narrow range of cell lines and short-term assays. Here, we describe MicroSCALE (Microarrays of Spatially Confined Adhesive Lentiviral Features), a cell microarray-based platform that enabl...
متن کاملScreening for melanoma modifiers using a zebrafish autochthonous tumor model.
Genomic studies of human cancers have yielded a wealth of information about genes that are altered in tumors. A challenge arising from these studies is that many genes are altered, and it can be difficult to distinguish genetic alterations that drove tumorigenesis from that those arose incidentally during transformation. To draw this distinction it is beneficial to have an assay that can quanti...
متن کاملThe evolution of melanoma resistance reveals therapeutic opportunities.
The RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway is a key driver of proliferation and survival signals in tumor cells and has been the focus of intense drug development efforts over the past 20 years. The recent regulatory approval of RAF inhibitors and a MAP-ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitor for metastatic melanoma provides clinical validation of tumor dependency on this pathway. Unfortunately, the therapeutic benefit of...
متن کاملGenetic subgrouping of melanoma reveals new opportunities for targeted therapy.
The discovery of activating oncogenic BRAF V600E mutations in the majority of melanomas has not yet been translated into more effective therapy. The failure of agents may be due to lack of sufficiently targeted therapeutics, but is more likely based on the activation of multiple oncogenic pathways in melanomas in addition to the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway. In contrast, t...
متن کاملBiological response modifiers.
Biological response modifiers (BRMs) of current clinical interest may be divided into two categories: immunomodulating agents and colony stimulating factors (CSFs). The first are employed to potentiate the host defences towards the tumor but results have proved disappointing in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). With regard to the second, the real dose increment which may be ascribed to CSFs i...
