Abstract: The importance of the MAP kinase pathway, which includes the kinases Raf, MEK1/2, and ERK1/2, for the proliferation and survival of tumor cells recently increased with the discovery of activating BRAF mutations in human tumors. Therefore, in addition to a role in controlling tumors with Ras mutations and activated growth factor receptors, inhibitors of Raf kinase may harbor therapeutic potential in tumors carrying a BRAF oncogene. A variety of agents have been discovered to interfere with Raf kinase, including… Show more

“…11 However, the detailed mechanism of this action exerted by sorafenib remains elusive. Despite the originally functional attribute of sorafenib is designated for its multi-kinase inhibitory actions via blocking kinase-based signal transduction pathways, [12][13][14][15][16] yet, very little is known about whether or not sorafenib can also trigger the apoptotic cancer cell death via activating an alternative pathway. Recently, a report indicated that sorafenib could provoke an apoptotic cell death of human leukemia U937, Jurkat and K562 cells via a mechanism involving an ER-mediated alteration of calcium (Ca 2+ ) homeostasis, yet, the detailed cascade of events that led to the occurrence of apoptotic cell death remains elusive.…”

“…In addition, the BRAFV600E mutation also represents a molecular marker for papillary thyroid carcinoma, ovarian serous carcinoma and for a subgroup of colorectal carcinomas. 32 Since the clinical and preclinical testing of BRAF inhibitors for treatment is currently actively ongoing, 33 the availability of a blood test determining BRAF status in tumors may also become useful for the prescription of BRAF inhibitor target therapy.…”
