Ursolic acid interaction with transcription factors BRAF, V600E, and V600K: a computational approach towards new potential melanoma treatments. (PubMed, J Mol Model)
Due to the relevance of the BRAFV600E mutation, inhibitors to this kinase have been developed, vemurafenib-OMe and dabrafenib. Ligand-protein interactions were evaluated using Schrödinger-Maestro program, LigPlot + , and PLIP (protein-ligand interaction profiler). Finally, all of the protein figures presented in this article were made in the PyMOL program.

Discovery of novel diaryl urea-oxindole hybrids as BRAF kinase inhibitors targeting BRAF and KRAS mutant cancers. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
Further analysis on A375 and Mel501 cell lines expressing BRAFV600E revealed that compound 9s has a potent growth inhibitory activity with IC50 of 0.7 and 1.5 µM, respectively, in reference to sorafenib (IC50 = 8.7 and 0.3 µM, respectively)...Noteworthy, the examined candidates demonstrated a higher selectively towards BRAFV600E over BRAFWT highlighting their promising optimization for treating BRAFV600E expressing cancers. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations in the inactive DFG-out kinase domain of BRAFWT/V600E protein kinases confirmed the planned design strategy.

The clinicopathological features of adult thyroid tumors with DICER1 mutation (PubMed, Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi)
Cases with the wild-type DICER1 gene may exhibit similar morphological features, and molecular testing is recommended. If somatic DICER1 mutation is confirmed, patients should undergo germline mutation testing to rule out DICER1 syndrome in order to define whether genetic counseling is necessary.

Effectiveness of 225Ac-Labeled Anti-EGFR Radioimmunoconjugate in EGFR-Positive Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene and BRAF Mutant Colorectal Cancer Models. (PubMed, J Nucl Med)
Anti-CD20 [225Ac]Ac-macropa-rituximab was developed and used as a nonspecific radioimmunoconjugate. Compared with untreated mice, [225Ac]Ac-macropa-nimotuzumab more than doubled (16 vs. 41 d) the median survival of mice bearing SW620 xenografts. [225Ac]Ac-macropa-nimotuzumab is effective against KRAS mutant and BRAFV600E mutant CRC models.

Oncocytic Follicular Cell-Derived Thyroid Tumors With Papillary Growth Pattern: A Clinicopathologic Study of 32 Cases. (PubMed, Arch Pathol Lab Med)
Oncocytic thyroid tumors with papillary features can span a spectrum from benign hyperplastic, to encapsulated neoplastic, to invasive malignant lesions. Owing to their papillary features, it is important not to confuse them for other types of thyroid tumors, such as oncocytic papillary thyroid carcinoma.

The tyrosine kinase inhibitor lenvatinib inhibits anaplastic thyroid carcinoma growth by targeting pericytes in the tumor microenvironment. (PubMed, Thyroid)
Pericytes are enriched in ATC samples and may enhance tumor viability. Lenvatinib showed inhibitory effects on BRAFWT/V600E-ATC cells in the presence of pericytes. The presence of pericytes could be crucial for effective lenvatinib treatment. Degree of pericyte abundance may be an attractive prognostic marker in assessing pharmaco-therapeutic options. Effective, durable management of ATC will rely on an understanding not only of genetics but also on the role of the tumor microenvironment.

Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor Is a Key Driver of Aggressiveness in Thyroid Tumor Cells. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
The modulation of BRAF-V600E using vemurafenib-impaired LDLR expression decreased cellular proliferation. Our results suggest that LDLR regulation is cell line-specific, regulating the RAS/RAF/MAPK (MEK)/ERK pathway in the LDL-signaling cascade and where BRAF V600E can play a critical role. In conclusion, targeting LDLR and this downstream signaling cascade, could be a new therapeutic strategy for PTC with more aggressive behavior, especially in those harboring BRAF V600E.

The role of molecular testing in pancreatic cancer. (PubMed, Therap Adv Gastroenterol)
Genetic, epigenetic, and tumor microenvironment targets continue to be identified at an unprecedented pace, enabling PDA patients to be matched to targeted and immune therapeutics, including antibody-drug conjugates, and genetically engineered chimeric antigen receptor or T-cell receptor - T-cell therapies. In this review, we highlight clinically relevant molecular alterations and focus on targeted strategies that can improve patient outcomes through precision medicine.

X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) predicts disease-free survival in BRAFV600E mutant papillary thyroid carcinoma in middle eastern patients. (PubMed, Front Endocrinol (Lausanne))
XIAP expression is an independent predictor of prognosis in Middle Eastern PTC patients. Combination of XIAP expression and BRAFV600E mutation can synergistically improve the DFS prediction in PTC patients, which may help clinicians to establish the most appropriate initial care and long-term surveillance strategies.

Estimated sensitivity profiles of lung cancer specific uncommon BRAF mutants towards experimental and clinically approved kinase inhibitors. (PubMed, Toxicol Appl Pharmacol)
All the uncommon mutants displayed higher sensitivity than both the wild type and BRAF-V600E towards PLX 8394 and LSN3074753...Notably, molecular dynamic (MD) simulation revealed that increased number of interactions caused enhanced sensitivity of G469R and N581S towards sorafenib. RAF kinase inhibitors were further classified into two groups as per their selectivity (Group I: BRAF-V600E-selective and Group II: CRAF-selective) based on which potential mutation-wise combinations of RAF kinase inhibitors were proposed to overcome resistance. Based on computational inhibitor sensitivity profiles, appropriate treatment strategies may be devised to prevent or overcome secondary drug resistance in lung cancer patients with uncommon mutations.

COLSTAR: Randomized, open-label, multicentre, phase III study comparing futuximab/modotuximab plus trifluridine/tipiracil to trifluridine/tipiracil in KRAS/NRAS and BRAF wild type (wt) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) previously treated with both standard and anti-EGFR treatment (ESMO 2022)
Main eligibility criteria include KRAS/NRAS (exons 2, 3 and 4) and BRAF wt (V600E mutation) (double negative; DN) assessed by centralized analysis of ctDNA at screening, and previous treatment with at least 2 regimens including fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, at least one anti-VEGF (bevacizumab, aflibercept, ramucirumab, regorafenib) and at least one anti-EGFR mAb (cetuximab or panitumumab) for ≥4 months. The key secondary endpoint is OS in the triple-negative (KRAS/NRAS, BRAF, and EGFR-ECD wt) population (part 2). A group sequential design with 3 interim analyses (IA) will allow to stop the trial prematurely for futility at each IA as well as for efficacy at last IA.

Comparative analysis of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) BRAF V600E-mutated versus MSI-H BRAF wild type colorectal cancers (CRC), including tumor microenvironment (TME), associated genomic alterations, and immunometabolomic biomarkers. (ASCO 2022)
MSI-H/dMMR BRAFV600E CRCs undergo broad metabolic reprogramming (e.g., glycerophospholipidgalactose, nucleotide). A rise in lipid metabolism, particularly with NK inflammation, suggests that BRAFV600Emutated tumors may be associated with a non-classical immune component. BRAFV600E and BRAFwt CRCs exhibited similar NTB and T cell infiltration, suggesting that both are likely to benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors.

This is the first case report of a 60-yr-old female who underwent therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer with fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX). The patient has achieved a complete response (CR) to a combination of gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, and cobimetinib. It has been 16 mo since the start of the treatment, and the patient continues to demonstrate a complete durable response both serologically and radiologically.
