Abstract

Background/Aim: The therapeutic strategy for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring the BRAF non-V600E mutation has not been established. LY3009120, a newly discovered pan-RAF inhibitor, has shown strong antitumor effects in cancers with various BRAF genotypes. This study investigated the antitumor effects of LY3009120 in NSCLC cells harboring the BRAF non-V600E mutation. Materials and Methods: We examined the antitumor effects of LY3009120 by MTS assay and flow cytometry. We analyzed the expression status of proteins by western blot. The mouse xenograft models were used for the in vivo experiments. Results: LY3009120 suppressed BRAFrelated downstream pathway molecules and induced cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase in all examined NSCLC cell lines. LY3009120 also inhibited in vivo tumor growth in NSCLC cells harboring the BRAF non-V600E mutation. Conclusion: LY3009120 is a potent therapeutic agent for patients with BRAF non-V600E mutant NSCLC.
