    MAPK pathway alterations as a targetable vulnerability in bladder cancer. (Level 1, West Hall; Poster Bd # K16) -  Dec 13, 2023 - Abstract #ASCOGU2024ASCO_GU_627;    
    We tested the activity of a RAF inhibitors in BC cell lines with RAF1 amplifications and NRAS mutations and found that MAPK pathway-altered models displayed increased sensitivity to RAF inhibition compared to MAPK-unaltered models. We further showed this sensitivity in vivo with RAF1-amplified mouse xenografts and elucidated the synergistic effect of concurrent RAF and MEK inhibition.

    Journal:  An open source plant kinase chemogenomics set. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 1, 2022   
    Compound RAF265 (CHIR-265), previously shown to bind the human kinase BRAF (B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase), also binds to nine highly conserved rice kinases tested. The binding of human and rice kinases to the same compound suggests that human kinase inhibitor sets will be useful for dissecting the function of plant kinases.

    Journal:  Small-Molecule RAF265 as an Antiviral Therapy Acts against PEDV Infection. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 28, 2022   
    RAF265 also presented potent inhibitory activity against viral infection by SARS-CoV-2-pp and SARS-CoV-pp. The present work may provide a starting point for further progress toward the development of antiviral strategies effective against coronavirus PEDV.

    Overall, our data indicate that RAF inhibition-induced paradoxical MAPK activation could be exploited for therapeutic purposes by simultaneously targeting both RAF and MEK (and potentially EGFR family members) in appropriate molecular contexts. KRAS mutation per se does not effectively predict therapeutic synergism and other biomarkers need to be developed to identify patients potentially deriving benefit from combined BRAF/MEK targeting.

    Journal:  New tools for evaluating protein tyrosine sulphation: Tyrosyl Protein Sulphotransferases (TPSTs) are novel targets for RAF protein kinase inhibitors. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 5, 2019   
    By screening the Published Kinase Inhibitor Set (PKIS), we identified oxindole-based inhibitors of the Ser/Thr kinase RAF as low micromolar inhibitors of TPST1 and TPST2.  Interestingly, unrelated RAF inhibitors, exemplified by the dual BRAF/VEGFR2 inhibitor RAF265, were also TPST inhibitors in vitro We propose that target-validated protein kinase inhibitors could be repurposed, or redesigned, as more-specific TPST inhibitors to help evaluate the sulphotyrosyl proteome. Finally, we speculate that mechanistic inhibition of cellular tyrosine sulphation might be relevant to some of the phenotypes observed in cells exposed to anionic TPST ligands and RAF protein kinase inhibitors.
