1 Ras-induced resistance to lapatinib is overcome by MEK inhibition. Lapatinib mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 Homo sapiens
2 Importantly, we found that resistance to lapatinib due to ras overexpression or to ras V12 is overcome by MEK inhibition with U0126, suggesting a key role for the MEK-Erk pathway in ras-induced resistance. Lapatinib mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 Homo sapiens
3 Importantly, we found that resistance to lapatinib due to ras overexpression or to ras V12 is overcome by MEK inhibition with U0126, suggesting a key role for the MEK-Erk pathway in ras-induced resistance. Lapatinib mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 Homo sapiens
4 Combining MEK inhibitors with lapatinib may help overcome this form of resistance and increase the efficacy of lapatinib in these tumors. Lapatinib mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 Homo sapiens
