Abstract

BACKGROUND: Molecular mechanisms driving acquired resistance to anti-EGFR therapies in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are complex but generally involve the activation of the downstream RAS-RAF-MEK-MAPK pathway. Nevertheless, even if inhibition of EGFR and MEK could be a strategy for overcoming anti-EGFR resistance, its use is limited by the development of MEK inhibitor (MEKi) resistance. METHODS: We have generated in vitro and in vivo different CRC models in order to underline the mechanisms of MEKi resistance. RESULTS: The three different in vitro MEKi resistant models, two generated by
