Human melanoma cells expressing V600E B-RAF are susceptible to IGF1R targeting by small interfering RNAs.
The type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) is overexpressed by malignant melanomas compared with benign naevi, and mediates proliferation, motility and protection from apoptosis. However, the utility of IGF1R targeting as anti-cancer therapy may be limited by activating mutations in down...
