Description
SiRNA Screening in 37 KRAS Mutant colorectal cancer cell lines identified RAF1 and MEK Inhibition as synergistic, whereas MEK Inhibition alone led to quick resistance via upregulation of RAF-signalling. This finding was reproduced two NSCLC cell lines in a second, independent shRNA screen.
