MEK Inhibition Targets Cancer Stem Cells and Impedes Migration of Pancreatic Cancer Cells In Vitro and In Vivo by Karolin Walter, Kanishka Tiwary, Marija Trajkovic-Arsic, Ana Hidalgo-Sastre, Laura Dierichs, Sven T. Liffers, Jiangning Gu, Johann Gout, Lucas-Alexander Schulte, Jan Münch, Thomas Seufferlein, Bruno Sainz, Jens T. Siveke, Eva Rodriguez-Aznar, Patrick C. Hermann

“…Due to their high dependency on Ras mutations, pancreatic cancers might be particularly sensitive to inhibitors acting downstream of Ras. Herein, we use a genetically engineered mouse model of pancreatic cancer and primary pancreatic cancer cells were derived from this model to demonstrate that small-molecule MEK inhibitors functionally abrogate cancer stem cell populations as demonstrated by reduced sphere and organoid formation capacity. …”
