To confirm melanoma cell apoptosis, we treated SK-MEL-28 cells and found an increase in Annexin-V staining in cells treated with the combination compared to monotherapy or mock treatment (Suppl.

Further, there was increased cleaved PARP in tumor cells treated with both T-VEC and trametinib (Suppl. Fig 3D). Collectively, these data demonstrate that combination T-VEC and MEK inhibition can delay melanoma xenograft growth and that treatment is associated with decreased tumor cell viability and increased apoptosis.

Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) can be a herpes simplex-1 oncolytic pathogen and trametinib can be a MEK inhibitor authorized for treatment of melanoma.
