1 Sorafenib inhibits non-small cell lung cancer cell growth by targeting B-RAF in KRAS wild-type cells and C-RAF in KRAS mutant cells. Sorafenib B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase Homo sapiens
2 Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor whose targets include B-RAF and C-RAF, both of which function in the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway but which also have distinct downstream targets. Sorafenib B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase Homo sapiens
3 The G(1) arrest induced by either C-RAF depletion or sorafenib in cells with mutant KRAS was associated with down-regulation of cyclin E. Our results thus suggest that sorafenib inhibits NSCLC cell growth by targeting B-RAF in cells with wild-type KRAS and C-RAF in those with mutant KRAS. Sorafenib B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase Homo sapiens
