Project description:HCT116 cells were treated with with increasing concentrations of trametinib over 2 months. Drug-resistant clones emerged and were cultured in the presence of 30 nmol/L trametinib. These cells exhibited a greater than 10-fold increase in the GI50 for trametinib compared to the parental cell line. RNA-seq of the resistant clone HCT116_R4 versus the parental cells identified differentially expressed genes potentially involved in resistance.
