Interestingly, two studies
of melanoma cell lines revealed frequent mutations in mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase [kinase] genes MAP2K1, MAP2K2, MAP3K5, and MAP3K9.

After exploiting a technology that allowed them to activate each
of nearly 16,000 genes individually in human
melanoma cell lines containing mutant BRAF, the authors then treated the panel
of cells with the drugs and monitored which
cells showed altered drug sensitivity.
He adds, «This study was actually a pilot project for a much larger effort within the Center for Molecular Therapeutics to map responses against drug combinations across hundreds
of cancer
cell lines, not just
melanoma, and look for novel combinations that will benefit subsets
of patients regardless
of the particular type
of tumor they have.
