4T1 mouse mammary tumors were grown orthotopically in athymic Balb/C (nu/nu) female mice. Tumor-bearing mice were randomized into treatment groups for intratumoral delivery of SLR20 (or OH-SLR20, or saline) on treatment days 1, 5, and 9. Tumors were measured throughout treatment (days 1-10) and for 5 days after treatment ceased (days 10-15). N = 7 per group.
Immunohistochemistry was used to measure CD45, F4,80, CD4, and CD8 in tumors harvested at day 5. Representative Images are shown. N = 5
4T1 cells were transfected with SLR20 or OH-SLR20. At 4 hours after transfection, 4T1 cells were washed 5 times, then cultured in serum-free media for 16 hours. 4T1-cultured supernatant was collected, passed through a 0.2ïm filter, then added neat to cultures of Raw264.7 cells for 30 minutes. Western analysis of RAW264.7 whole cell lysates was used to measure P-STAT1. Cells were transfected, and after 16 h, total RNA was assessed by RT-qPCR to measure expression of the indicated gene.. Each point represents the average of three experimental replicates, N = 3. Midlines are average {plus minus} S.D. Student's T-test.
The effect of U46619 and CPI211 on migration and invasion of 4T1 and MDA-MB-231 tumor cells through Matrigel-coated transwells was assessed. Tumor cells were seeded in the upper chambers of a Matrigel-coated transwell insert in serum-free media. Cell migration towards 1% serum in the lower chamber was assessed by crystal violet staining of the lower side of the transwell filter. Digital images of stained transwell filters were used to count the number of migrated cells. Representative images are shown (A). Each data point shown (B) represents the number of cells migrating to the lower side of the filter. Midlines are the average {plus minus} S.D., N = 4 (4T1) and 5 (MDA-MB-231), each assessed in triplicate.

Abstract Kinase inhibitors are accepted treatment for metastatic melanomas that harbor specific driver mutations in BRAF or KIT, but only 40% to 50% of cases are positive. To uncover other potential targetable mutations, we conducted whole-genome sequencing of a highly aggressive BRAF (V600) and KIT (W557, V559, L576, K642, and D816) wild-type melanoma. Surprisingly, we found a somatic BRAFL597R mutation in exon 15. Analysis of BRAF exon 15 in 49 tumors negative for BRAFV600 mutations as well as driver mutations in KIT, NRAS, GNAQ, and GNA11, showed that two (4%) harbored L597 mutations and another two involved BRAF D594 and K601 mutations. In vitro signaling induced by L597R/S/Q mutants was suppressed by mitogen-activated protein (MAP)/extracellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK) kinase (MEK) inhibition. A patient with BRAFL597S mutant metastatic melanoma responded significantly to treatment with the MEK inhibitor, TAK-733. Collectively, these data show clinical significance to BRAFL597 mutations in melanoma. Significance: This study shows that cells harboring BRAFL597 mutants are sensitive to MEK inhibitor treatment, providing a rationale for routine screening and therapy of BRAFL597-mutant melanoma.
