Resistance to MEK inhibitors: should we co-target upstream?

Poulikakos, Poulikos I., Solit, David B.·2011·Science Signaling

Abstract

Amplification of an upstream kinase in a three-kinase module confers resistance to cancer drugs that target a downstream kinase.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Acquired resistance will invariably occur after prolonged treatment with targeted drugs, including RAF and MEK inhibitors.

    “It has been long recognized that acquired resistance will invariably occur after prolonged treatment with targeted drugs, including those against Ras downstream effectors, such as RAF and MEK.72, 73, 74”

    From Overcoming Resistance to Drugs Targeting KRAS Mutation (2020) · cites this paper as [74]

  • Prolonged treatment with either RAF or MEK inhibitors results in rebounded ERK activation due to amplification of upstream drivers such as RTKs and Ras.

    “For example, prolonged treatment of either RAF or MEK inhibitors results in rebounded ERK activation due to the amplification of upstream drivers, such as RTKs and Ras.72,74”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
