Abstract

Gene mutations can induce cellular alteration and malignant transformation. Development of many types of cancer is associated with mutations in the B-raf proto-oncogene (BRAF) gene. The encoded protein is a component of the mitogen-activated protein kinases/extracellular signal-regulated kinases (MAPK/ERK) signaling pathway, transmitting information from the outside to the cell nucleus. The main function of the MAPK/ERK pathway is to regulate cell growth, migration, and proliferation. The most common mutations in the BRAF gene encode the V600E mutant (class I), which causes continuous activation and signal transduction, regardless of external stimulus. Consequently, cell proliferation and invasion are enhanced in cancer patients with such mutations. The V600E mutation has been linked to melanoma, colorectal cancer, multiple myeloma, and other types of cancers. Importantly, emerging evidence has recently indicated that new types of mutations (classes II and III) also play a paramount role in the development of cancer. In this minireview, we discuss the influence of various BRAF mutations in cancer, including aberrant transcriptional gene regulation in the affected tissues.

  • MAPK pathway-driven tumorigenesis, often induced by BRAFV600E, relies on epithelial dedifferentiation.

    “MAPK pathway-driven tumorigenesis, often induced by BRAFV600E, relies on epithelial dedifferentiation.”

    From Proteostatic reactivation of the developmental transcription factor TBX3 drives BRAF/MAPK-mediated tumorigenesis (2024) · cites this paper as [24]

    Section 2 (page unavailable) identifies BRAF as an oncogenic driver in the MAPK/ERK pathway and says V600E increases cell proliferation. Section 5 suggests BRAF mutation-induced signaling can enhance epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, but describes that process in relation to metastasis; it does not say MAPK-driven tumorigenesis relies on epithelial dedifferentiation. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Gene mutations of BRAF, especially BRAFV600E, and constitutively activated MAPK cascades drive multiple cancers, depriving differentiated features.

    “Gene mutations of BRAF, especially BRAFV600E, and constitutively activated MAPK cascades drive multiple types of cancers, depriving differentiated features through melanoma genesis and intestine/colon carcinogenesis24–27.”

    From Proteostatic reactivation of the developmental transcription factor TBX3 drives BRAF/MAPK-mediated tumorigenesis (2024) · cites this paper as [24]

    Section 2 (Class I BRAF Mutations; page unavailable) describes BRAF V600E as constitutively active and BRAF as an oncogenic driver in cancers including melanoma and colorectal cancer. Section 6 reports increased proliferation in BRAF-mutated colorectal cancer cells. The cited passages do not establish that these cancers lose differentiated features, so that part of the claim is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
