Metastatic melanoma remains a major clinical challenge. Large-scale genomic sequencing of melanoma has identified bona fide activating mutations in RAC1, which are associated with resistance to BRAF-targeting therapies. Targeting the RAC1-GTPase pathway, including the upstream activator PREX2 and the downstream effector PI3Kβ, could be a potential strategy for overcoming therapeutic resistance, limiting melanoma recurrence, and suppressing metastatic progression. Here, we used genetically engineered mouse models and patient-derived BRAFV600E-driven melanoma cell lines to dissect the role of PREX2 in melanomagenesis and response to therapy. Although PREX2 was dispensable for the initiation and progression of melanoma, its loss conferred sensitivity to clinically relevant therapeutics targeting the MAPK pathway. Importantly, genetic and pharmacologic targeting of PI3Kβ phenocopied PREX2 deficiency, sensitizing model systems to therapy. These data reveal a druggable PREX2/RAC1/PI3Kβ signaling axis in BRAF-mutant melanoma that could be exploited clinically. Significance: Cotargeting the MAPK and the PREX2/RAC1/PI3Kβ pathways has remarkable efficacy and outperforms monotherapy MAPK inhibition in BRAF-mutant melanoma, supporting the potential of this combination therapy for treating metastatic melanoma.
