BRAFV600E Efficient Transformation and Induction of Microsatellite Instability Versus KRASG12V Induction of Senescence Markers in Human Colon Cancer Cells

In colorectal cancer, BRAF and KRAS oncogenes are mutated in about 15% and 35% respectively at approximately the same stage of the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Since these two mutations rarely coexist, further analysis to dissect their function of transformation in colon cancer is required. Caco-2 h...
