GNAQ and GNA11 are frequently mutated in uveal melanoma, but they remain difficult therapeutic targets. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Feng and colleagues and Yu and colleagues demonstrate that the oncogenic activity of mutant GNAQ/11 is mediated at least in part through YAP, potentially uncovering a new therapeutic strategy.
GNAQ 和 GNA11 在葡萄膜黑色素瘤中经常发生突变,但它们仍然是难以治疗的靶点。在本期《癌细胞》杂志中,Feng 和他的同事们以及 Yu 和他的同事们证明,突变型 GNAQ/11 的致癌活性至少部分是通过 YAP 介导的,这可能揭示了一种新的治疗策略。
