BRAF kinaseV600E mutationConformational changeMetastasic bowel cancerMolecular modelingThe transcription factor forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) negatively regulates activated EGFR signaling by turning on the gene expression of tumor suppressor Kruppel-like factor 6. Here, we propose that the chemosensitivity to ...
MethodsBRAF V600E mutation-specific immunohistochemistry and BRAF sequencing were performed in 24 consecutive GISTs, including 14 cases of KIT or PDGFRA mutations and 10 cases of KIT/PDGFRA wild GISTs. ResultsGISTs of 11 men and 13 women with a mean age 54 years(range 29-75 years) were inclu...
Inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor (EGFR) signaling pathway have a major role in the treatment of KRAS wild-type colorectal cancer patients. The EGFR pathway has been shown to be activated in gastric cancer (GC). However, published data on KRAS and BRAF mutation status is limited in ...

cancer cells to multiply. This helps to slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking BCL-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Azacitidine is in...
Gene mutation 1. Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world [1]. The incidence of CRC worldwide is 14.6 and 20.4 per 100,000 population for females and males respectively [2]. In Asia, the incidence of CRC varies significantly, with lower incidence ...
Several RAF mutations have been implicated in the induction of genomic instability, driving the proliferation of cancer cells with the highest frequency in melanoma. For instance, mutated BRAF signals as a monomer, independent of upstream growth stimuli. The most frequent BRAF mutation, BRAFV600E, ...
mutation; the study also showed a clear impact on PFS >7 months and established the maximum tolerated dose to be 960 mg twice-daily. Responses were observed at all sites of disease, including the bone, liver and small bowel. During the dose escalation phase, responses were also observed in...
Mutations in KRAS exon 2, BRAF and PIK3CA are commonly present in colorectal cancer (CRC) worldwide, but few data about RAS mutations outside KRAS exon 2 are available for Chinese CRCs. We, therefore, determined the mutation frequencies and prognostic va
