BRAF-V600E activates ERK. 89 / 90
| 89

reach
"Our data show that V600E Braf can drive Erk and Wnt pathway activation and the formation of hyperplastic crypts that subsequently remain dormant for prolonged periods due to the upregulation of p16 INK4a."

reach
"The BRAF V600E mutation has been shown to activate the MAPK and ERK pathway, and there is evidence of cross-talk between MAPK and ERK signaling and the Wnt pathway in several tumor types, including lung cancer and melanoma [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"We observed similar levels of induced ERK phosphorylation in lysates from cells transfected with cDNAs encoding two well characterized mutants, BRAF V600E and KRAS G12V, known to activate the ERK pathway (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"While RAF proteins activate ERK signaling as homo and heterodimers in the presence of active RAS 10, mutant BRAF V600E can activate ERK signaling independent of RAS as an active monomer XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR."

reach
"The BRAF V600E mutation is a well-accepted poor prognostic factor in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), as it confers Ras-independent stimulation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway involved in proliferation, migration, angiogenesis and the suppression of apoptosis."

reach
"Induction of ERK1/2 by BRAF V600E was substantially (~ 50%) decreased in KLF9 depleted NHMs or NHMs treated with NAC compared to Vector treated or untreated cells, respectively (XREF_FIG, XREF_FIG)."

reach
"In contrast, BGB659, a type II, ATP-competitive RAF inhibitor (compound 27 from Gould et al., 2011), inhibited ERK signaling driven by p61 BRAF V600E dimers and BRAF V600E monomers at similar doses."

reach
"Mechanistically, the presence of BRAF V600E mutation activates MEK and ERK signaling and its downstream target RSK."

reach
"The dependence of KRAS G12D - and BRAF V600E -expressing PDECs on both the MEK and ERK and PI3K and AKT pathways for survival was unexpected, since BRAF V600E directly stimulates the MEK and ERK signaling cascade, but not the PI3K and AKT pathway."

reach
"BRAF V600E is predicted to increase ERK1/2 but not PI 3-kinase --> PDK --> AKT signaling (PI 3-kinase : phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; PDK : phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase)."

reach
"Since RAS activation and CRAF activity are both low in BRAF V600E tumors, in which MEK and ERK signaling is driven almost entirely by BRAF V600E, we hypothesized that the decreased MEK inhibitor sensitivity of KRAS tumors is due to ineffective inhibition of CRAF driven MEK signaling by these drugs."

reach
"In parental cells, ERK signaling was inhibited by knockdown of full-length BRAF (V600E) (XREF_SUPPLEMENTARY)."

reach
"PLX4032, a selective BRAF (V600E) kinase inhibitor, activates the ERK pathway and enhances cell migration and proliferation of BRAF melanoma cells."

reach
"Supporting its classification as an oncogene, V600E BRAF stimulates ERK signaling, induces proliferation and is capable of promoting transformation and inducing tumors in transgenic mice."

reach
"The BRAF specific inhibitors GDC-0879 and PLX-4720 very efficiently and specifically block BRAF V600E induced ERK activation and xenograft growth [64,65]."

reach
"B-RAF V600E mutant protein is constitutively active 51 and earlier studies demonstrated that B-RAF V600E mutant dysregulates NF-kappaB/Snail/RKIP/PTEN circuit as well as activates MEK and ERK kinases that promote the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and melanoma cell growth XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR."

reach
"Accordingly, BRAF V600E transfection in Me1007 melanoma induced a striking ERK1/2 activation followed by c-FOS induction (XREF_FIG e)."

reach
"In the current study, we show that BRAF V600E plays a critical role in activating Abl and Arg, which is required for BRAF V600E induction of the EMT transcription factor switch, proliferation and invasion, and Abl and Arg also feedback and potentiate BRAF and ERK signaling."

reach
"These results raise the possibility that BRAF V600E cooperated with KRAS G12A to augment the ERK kinase activation, which may also have preference to eosinophil production."

reach
"As previously demonstrated, MEK1/2 (PD0325901 and MEKi 1) or BRAF V600E (PLX-4032 and BRAFi 2) inhibition led to decreased P-ERK, P-p70 S6K and P-rpS6 with only modest inhibition of P-4E-BP1."

reach
"Indeed, the persistent expression of mutant BRAF was responsible for rebound activation of ERK, as the addition of a BRAF V600E inhibitor or specific knockdown of mutant BRAF inhibited reactivation of ERK after treatment with AUY922."

reach
"By contrast, BGB659, a type II, ATP-competitive RAF inhibitor inhibited ERK signaling driven by p61 BRAF V600E dimers and BRAF V600E monomers at similar doses (XREF_FIG and XREF_SUPPLEMENTARY)."

reach
"The BRAF gene, a viral oncogene homolog that encodes a kinase involved in the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, is mutated in up to 70% of melanomas, with mutations such as BRAF V600E causing constitutive MEK and ERK activation."

reach
"Following the down regulation of ALK RES, a decrease in pERK was detected in presence of PLX4032 while no change was observed in absence of the drug, which was expected since BRAF V600E is not inhibited and activates the ERK1/2 pathway."

reach
"Finally, BRAF V600E overexpression activated the MEK and ERK signal pathway in B-CPAP and TPC-1 cells."

reach
"In the present report, we further explored the influence of growth conditions on melanoma cells and cell response to treatment with vemurafenib (Zelboraf) targeting V600E BRAF and trametinib (Mekinist) targeting mitogen activated kinase and ERK kinase 1/2 (MEK1/2)."

reach
"Of note, sustained activation of ERK signaling by the BRaf V600E allele in mice also resulted in increased Lrp6 phosphorylation in the colonic epithelium."

reach
"Specifically, the BRAF V600E mutation, which is the most frequent BRAF mutation in melanoma, stimulates the constitutive activation of the downstream extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK)."
