Most uveal melanomas harbor mutations in Gαq and show constitutive MAPK activation. Although MEK inhibition has some efficacy against uveal melanoma, clinical responses are typically poor. The Gαq inhibitor-MEK inhibitor combination showed prolonged suppression of MAPK signaling in preclinical uveal melanoma models and led to improved therapeutic responses..
大多数葡萄膜黑色素瘤存在Gαq基因突变,并表现出组成型丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)激活。尽管MEK抑制对葡萄膜黑色素瘤有一定疗效,但临床反应通常较差。在临床前葡萄膜黑色素瘤模型中,Gαq抑制剂与MEK抑制剂联合使用可延长对MAPK信号传导的抑制作用,并改善治疗反应。
