The Effect of Target Knockout, Knockdown or Genetic Variations We find that the levels of RAF-1 and BRAF proteins and RAF kinase activity are increased in h uMan GBM samples. We confirm the importance of this finding by demonstrating a causal role for a constitutively active Raf-1 mutant in glioma formation in mice. Specifically, we find that activated Raf-1 cooperates with Arf loss or Akt activation to generate gliomas similar to activated KRas under the same conditions. Our study suggests that the oncogenic effect of KRas in glioma formation may be transduced at least in part through Raf signaling and that therapeutic targeting ofthis pathway may be beneficial in glioma treatment [528356]
