Synergistic effects of ion transporter and MAP kinase pathway inhibitors in melanoma

Treatment responses of melanoma patients to MAPK pathway inhibitors are often limited. Here, the authors show that combining cardiac glycosides with MAPK inhibitors improves tumor regression by inducing intracellular acidification, mitochondrial calcium dysregulation, ATP depletion, and cell death.
