RAF inhibitors induce dimer formation between KSR and RAF, and activate KSR by CRAF. (A) GDC0879 but not PLX4720 induces BRAF/CRAF dimers. Cells overexpressing myc-CRAF and BRAF were treated with drug for 1 h and CRAF immunoprecipitates were immunoblotted for BRAF and CRAF (epitope tagged with myc). (B) GDC0879 but not PLX4720 enhances KSR/BRAF complexes. KSR immunoprecipitates were prepared from cells overexpressing FLAG-KSR and BRAF after treatment with the indicated drug for 1 h and immunoblotted using antibodies to BRAF. (C) Both GDC0879 and PLX4720 induce KSR/CRAF complexes.KSR immunoprecipitates were prepared from cells overexpressing FLAG-KSR and myc-CRAF after treatment with the indicated drug for 1 h and immunoblotted for CRAF using myc antibodies. (D and E) Requirement of KSR for drug-induced ERK activation. Lysates fromwild-type and KSR deficient fibroblasts, transfected with RASV12, were treated with the indicated doses of either GDC-0879 (D) or PLX4720 (E) for 1 h. Lysates were immunoblotted for phospho-ERK1 and 2, ERK2, and RASV12. (F) KSR and CRAF cooperate to activate MEK. Cells expressing the indicated constructs were treated with a 50 μM PLX4720 for 2 h before cell lysates were prepared and analyzed for pMEK by immunoblotting. CRAF(TM) refers to the T421M gatekeeper mutant that cannot bind to the drug(4). (G) KSR in vitro kinase reactions. Cells were cotransfected with WT or ATP binding deficient KSR and CRAF and immunoprecipitates prepared after cells were treated with an activating dose of PLX (10 μM) for 1 h. KSR immunoprecipitates were prepared, pretreated with 50 uM PLX4720 to inhibit coprecipitating RAF activity, and then tested for kinase activity using purified MEK. MEK phosphorylation was detected using a pMEK specific antibody.

A, basal PTEN and phospho-AKT(pAKT; S473, T308) expression in PTENt (WM164, 451Lu, SK-mel-28, WM983A, WM35, WM51) and PTEN (WM239A, WM266-4, WM793, M233, WM9, 1205Lu) melanoma cell lines. B, MTT assay of PTENt (gray)-expressing versus PTEN (black) cell lines. C, PTENt cells are more sensitive than PTEN cells to PLX4720-mediated apoptosis. Cells treated for 48 hours with 3 or 10 μmol/L PLX4720 before being stained for TMRM and Annexin-V. Apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. Data shows mean SE mean of 3 independent experiments.*, PTENt cohort significantly different from PTEN cohort(P < 0.05).

Loss of PTEN is associated with PI3K/AKT signaling following BRAF inhibition. A, PTENt (WM35, WM164, WM983A) and PTEN (M233, WM9,WM793, 1205Lu) cells were treated with PLX4720 (24 hours: 0.03-3 μmol/L) and probed for phospho-PDK1 (pPDK1), total PDK1, phospho-AKT (pAKT), total AKT (tAKT), phospho-S6 (pS6), and total S6. Numbers indicate relative intensity of pPDK1 normalized to PDK1 and pAKT normalized to tAKT. B, PLX4720 increases pAKT following PTEN knockdown. WM35 cells were incubated with nontargeting siRNA (NT) or 2 different PTEN-specific siRNA's (PTEN) before treatment with either vehicle or PLX4720 (3 μmol/L). C, siRNA knockdown of BRAF increases pAKT in melanoma cell lines that are PTEN. WM164 (PTENt) and WM793 (PTEN) cells were incubated with lipofectamine alone (L), nontargeting siRNA (NT), or BRAF-specific siRNA (BRAF). Protein was extracted, resolved, and probed for BRAF, pAKT, total AKT, and GAPDH.

B-RafV600E mutated melanoma line, SK-MEL-28, was treated with different doses of PLX-4720 for 4 h or 22 h. Cell lysates were analyzed by Western blotting to determine the levels of phosphorylated MEK1/2 (pMEK1/2) and phosphorylated ERK1/2 (pERK1/2). MEK1/2 is the substrate of B-Raf while ERK1/2 is the substrate of MEK1/2. Data show that phosphorylation of MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 was significantly inhibited by PLX-4720 treatment although total MEK1/2 or ERK1/2 protein levels were not affected. No pMEK1/2 or pERK1/2 signal was detected even after prolonged exposure, indicating that the inhibitor at 1 μM is very effective in blocking the constitutive kinase activity of B-RafV600E. This data is consistent with the previous result demonstrating the effect of PLX-4720 in the B-RafV600E mutated melanoma line, A375 – Fig. 2A, Nature 464:431 (2010)

| In vitro |
PLX-4720 displays >10 times selectivity against wild type B-Raf, and >100 times selectivity over other kinases such as Frk, Src, Fak, FGFR, and Aurora A with IC50 of 1.3-3.4 μM. PLX-4720 significantly inhibits the ERK phosphorylation in cell lines bearing B-RafV600E with IC50 of 14-46 nM, but not the cells with wild-type B-Raf. PLX-4720 significantly inhibits the growth of tumor cell lines bearing the B-RafV600E oncogene, such as COLO205, A375, WM2664, and COLO829 with GI50 of 0.31 μM, 0.50 μM, 1.5 μM, and 1.7 μM, respectively. In addition, PLX-4720 treatment at 1 μM induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis exclusively in the B-RafV600E-positive 1205Lu cells, but not in the B-Raf wild-type C8161 cells. [1] PLX-4720 treatment (10 μM) significantly induces >14-fold expression of BIM in the PTEN+ cells, compared with the PTEN- cell lines (4-fold), giving an explanation of the resistance of PTEN- cells to PLX-4720-induced apoptosis.

| In vivo | Oral administration of PLX-4720 at 20 mg/kg/day induces significant tumor growth delays and regressions in B-RafV600E-dependent COLO205 tumor xenografts, without obvious adverse effects in mice even at dose of 1 g/kg. PLX-4720 at 100 mg/kg twice daily almost completely eliminates the 1205Lu xenografts bearing B-RafV600E, while has no activity against C8161 xenografts bearing wild-type B-Raf. The anti-tumor effects of PLX-4720 correlate with the blockade of MAPK pathway in those cells harboring the V600E mutation. [1] PLX-4720 treatment at 30 mg/kg/day significant inhibits the tumor growth of 8505c xenografts by >90%, and dramatically decreases distant lung metastases. [3] |

In vitro Raf kinase activities: The in vitro kinase activities of wild type Raf and mutants are determined by measuring phosphorylation of biotinylated-MEK protein using Perkin-Elmer's AlphaScreen Technology. For each enzyme (0.1 ng), 20-μL reactions are carried out in 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.0), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Tween-20, 100 nM biotin-MEK protein, various ATP concentrations, and increasing concentrations of PLX-4720 at room temperature. Reactions are stopped at 2, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 30 minutes with 5 μL of a solution containing 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.0), 200 mM NaCl, 80 mM EDTA, and 0.3% BSA. The stop solution also includes phospho-MEK Antibody, Streptavidin-coated Donor beads and Protein A Acceptor beads from the AlphaScreen Protein A Detection Kit. The antibody and beads are preincubated in stop solution in the dark at room temperature for 30 minutes. The final dilution of antibody is 1/2,000, and the final concentration of each bead is 10 μg/mL. The assay plates are incubated at room temperature for one hour then are read on a PerkinElmer AlphaQuest reader. |

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Question 1:
What would you recommend to make working solution for intraperitoneal injection into mice?
-
Answer:
PLX4720 has very limited solubility in aqueous solution and for this reason, we recommend oral gavage to administer this compound as not fully dissolved suspension can be used in oral gavage feeding.
