BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib, and subsequent MAPK pathway inhibitors trametinib and SCH772984, significantly increased SPINK1 secretion in V600E CRC cell lines Colo205 and HT‐29 with a concomitant decrease in trypsin‐1 and ‐2 secretion. This evidence concerns the gene SPINK1 and colorectal carcinoma.
