Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still a major health problem, often diagnosed at an advanced stage. The multikinase inhibitor sorafenib is to date the sole approved systemic therapy. Several signalling pathways are implicated in tumour development and progression. Among these pathways, the Ras/MAPK pathway is activated in 50-100% of human HCCs and is correlated with a poor prognosis. The aim of this work was to review the main intracellular mechanisms leading to aberrant Ras pathway activation in HCC and the potential therapeutic implications.

“…In particular, RAS mutations occur in ≈15% of all cancers, and mutations in BRAF, but not its isoforms, are prevalent in melanomas (≈66%), thyroid cancer (up to 70%), ovarian cancer (≈30%), colorectal cancer (up to 20%), and liver cancer (≈14%) (El-Nassan, 2014). By far the most common oncogenic mutation occurs in the activation segment of BRAF, V600E, and is found in ≈90% of cancers linked to this kinase.…”

The RAS-Binding Domain of Human BRAF Protein Serine/Threonine Kinase Exhibits Allosteric Conformational Changes upon Binding HRAS

SUMMARY RAS binding is a critical step in the activation of BRAF protein serine/threonine kinase and stimulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway. Mutations in both RAS and BRAF are associated with many human cancers. Here, we report the solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystal structures of the RAS-binding domain (RBD) from human BRAF. We further studied the complex between BRAF RBD and the GppNHp bound form of HRAS in solution. Backbone, side-chain, and 19F NMR chemical shift perturbations reveal unexpected changes distal to the RAS-binding face that extend through the core of the RBD structure. Moreover, backbone amide hydrogen/deuterium exchange NMR data demonstrate conformational ensemble changes in the RBD core structure upon complex formation. These changes in BRAF RBD reveal a basis for allosteric regulation of BRAF structure and function, and suggest a mechanism by which RAS binding can signal the drastic domain rearrangements required for activation of BRAF kinase.

“…Pyridopyrazinone derivatives had considerable therapeutic activities in the treatment of different cancer types as melanoma, thyroid, colon, and ovarian cancer through their selective inhibition of V600E BRAF [21]. Pyridopyrazinone derivatives were considered type II inhibitors of V600E BRAF, both in vitro and in vivo.…”
