A recent report has unveiled a novel mechanism by which oncogenic BRAF signalling might trigger apoptotic resistance in melanoma by selectively affecting the expression of B cl‐2 family member M cl‐1 L ( Exp Dermatol 2013: 22 : 767). Correlation of M cl‐1 splice variants and B ‐ RAF mutational status was determined in a panel of melanoma cell lines. In vivo validation of this mechanism, which is supported by recent literature, might provide novel therapeutic approaches such as the use of targeted M cl‐1 inhibitors to improve outcome in melanoma.
