Abstract
Kinase inhibitors targeting the mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK)- extracellular signal related kinase (ERK) signaling pathway have limited durability in inhibiting growth of triple-negative breast cancer. We defined genome wide enhancer remodeling following MEK inhibition capable of driving adaptive gene transcription. Targeting positive elongation factor (P-TEFb) transcriptional regulatory complex members can block enhancer remodeling making the response to MEK-ERK inhibition durable.Entities:
