Multifocal BRAFV600E-Mutated Melanoma in situ on the Foot
Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer that originates from melanocytes, and about one half of melanoma cases possess a BRAF mutation. Together with PD-L1 expression, the BRAF(V600E) mutation is one of the optimal therapeutic targets for the treatment of melanoma. In this report, we describe a case of multifocal melanoma in situ on the foot, which carried the p.V600E mutation in the BRAF gene. I...

A black soft mucosal nodule was present on the left lateral side of upper vagina, and a polypoid ulcerative cervical lesion extended into the right parametrium. Cervical and vaginal biopsies were in favor of malignant mel...
متن کاملBRAFV600E Negatively Regulates the AKT Pathway in Melanoma Cell Lines
Cross-feedback activation of MAPK and AKT pathways is implicated as a resistance mechanism for cancer therapeutic agents targeting either RAF/MEK or PI3K/AKT/mTOR. It is thus important to have a better understanding of the molecular resistance mechanisms to improve patient survival benefit from these agents. Here we show that BRAFV600E is a negative regulator of the AKT pathway. Expression of B...
متن کاملPreclinical Evaluation of Vemurafenib as Therapy for BRAFV600E Mutated Sarcomas.
The BRAFV600E mutation, which in melanoma is targetable with vemurafenib, is also found in sarcomas and we here evaluate the therapeutic potential in sarcoma cell lines. METHODS Four sarcoma cell lines harboring the BRAFV600E mutation, representing liposarcomas (SA-4 and SW872), Ewing sarcoma (A673) and atypical synovial sarcoma (SW982), were treated with vemurafenib and the effects on cell g...
