“…None of these classified the resistant samples in the same way as did the full RPPA dataset (Supplemental Figure 5). Indeed, both the ERK signature and p-MEK were similar between the RTK and MAPK-rebound groups; instead, Figure 3C indicates that the main MAPK pathway difference between the 2 groups was downstream outputs including p-4EBP1, p-EIF4E, p-S6K, and p-S6, which have recently been shown to be prominent markers and mediators of BRAFi resistance (27,28). Furthermore, unsupervised clustering of the most variable 2.5% of the RNA-seq genes also did not generate the same 3 clusters (Supplemental Figure 5).…”
