Abstract

Background: Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy with poor survival rates for patients with advanced and anaplastic thyroid cancer due to lack of effective therapies. We have previously demonstrated that combined Src and MAPK inhibition results in synergistic inhibition of growth in vitro and in vivo, and increased apoptosis in BRAF- and RAS- mutant cells, while PIK3CA- mutants are resistant. Using a proteomics approach, here we show that the pro-apoptotic protein, BIM, is increased in cells that are sensitive to combined Src and MAPK inhibition compared to cells that are resistant.
