1 RAS and RAF Signalling in Melanoma: Molecular Oncology, The Institute of Cancer Research, UK 1 Melanoma Melanocytes are specialised pigment cells - Skin, eyes, ear, brain, heart - Skin/hair tone - Protection from UV radiation (tanning response) - Precursors of melanoma Melanoma: the most deadly skin cancer - 10% of all skin cancers, but 80% of skin cancer deaths - Europe: over 62,000 cases pa; ~12,000 deaths - 80% are cured by surgery; 20% die of metastatic disease - Median survival: 6-9 months; 5 year survival: 5-10% - Risk factors: UV light/genetics 2 ERK signalling in melanoma CKIT: 5% (mucosal, RTKacryl) NRAS: 22% KRAS: 2% HRAS: 1% (cutaneous) GNAQ: 5% (uveal) GPCR RAS α β γ RAF BRAF: 44% (cutaneous) MEK ERK Hyper-activated in over 90% 3 The screen versions of these slides have full details of copyright and acknowledgements 1
