MEK Inhibitors Lead to PDGFR Pathway Upregulation and Sensitize Tumors to RAF Dimer Inhibitors in NF1-Deficient Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor
AbstractPurpose:. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a highly aggressive subtype of soft-tissue sarcoma with a high propensity to metastasize and extremely limited treatment options. L...

3/ To overcome this resistance, we found that combining MEK inhibitors with PDGFR/RAF-dimer inhibitors can improve treatment response.

This highlights a promising new strategy for tackling MPNST!

2/ In our study, we show how NF1-deficient malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) develop adaptive resistance to MEK inhibitors by upregulating PDGFRβ transcription and increasing RAF dimer formation.
