Abstrakt: The discovery of B-RAF activating mutations in malignant melanoma cells has led to the development of a number of targeted drugs, which block exclusively the mutant B-RAF protein. Tumor cells often acquire resistance to B-RAF inhibitors via activation of alternative signaling pathways. One of the resistance mechanisms is activation of PDGF, VEGF, c-KIT, and certain other tyrosine kinases. The possibility of overcoming the resistance to the B-RAF inhibitor Vemurafenib by inactivating receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) was studied in metastatic melanoma cell lines differing in B-RAF mutations and RTK activity. It was found that RTK inactivation may help to overcome resistance to B-RAF inhibitors via inhibition of tyrosine kinase phosphorylation and a subsequent blocking of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR and MEK-ERK1/2 downstream signaling pathways. The changes eventually mitigated the cell growth and enhanced the Vemurafenib-dependent cell cycle arrest.
