| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Precision medicine strategies for treating rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a childhood malignancy, have not been developed. We examined the effect of selective dual RAF/MEK inhibitor on RMS cell lines. Among the eleven cell lines studied, one NRAS and two HRAS mutated cell lines were detected. RAF/MEK inhibitor inhibited the proliferation and growth in all of the RAS-mutated RMS cell lines, while it induced G1 cell cycle arrest in two of them. G1 cell cycle arrest was accompanied by p21 up-regulation and RB dephosphorylation. RAF/MEK inhibitor also suppressed the in vivo growth of RAS-mutated RMS tumor, and the mice showed improved survival.
