Registered report: Tumour micro-environment elicits innate resistance to RAF inhibitors through HGF secretion.

eLife | 2014

The Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology seeks to address growing concerns about reproducibility in scientific research by conducting replications of 50 papers in the field of cancer biology published between 2010 and 2012. This Registered Report describes the proposed replication plan of key experiments from "Tumour micro-environment elicits innate resistance to RAF inhibitors through HGF secretion" by Straussman and colleagues, published in Nature in 2012 (Straussman et al., 2012). The key experiments being replicated in this study are from Figure 2A, C, and D (and Supplemental Figure 11) and Figure 4C (and Supplemental Figure 19) (Straussman et al., 2012). Figure 2 demonstrates resistance to drug sensitivity conferred by co-culture with some stromal cell lines and identifies the secreted factor responsible as HGF. In Figure 4, Straussman and colleagues show that blocking the HGF receptor MET abrogates HGF’s rescue of drug sensitivity. The Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology is a collaboration between the Center for Open Science and Science Exchange, and the results of the replications will be published by eLife.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


Center for Open Science (tool)

RRID:SCR_003239

Non-profit organization to increase the openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scientific research. COS priorities are to (1) make the entire scientific workflow accessible, (2) increase scientists' accountability, (3) facilitate good practices by scientists, (4) increase reward for good practices, and (5) promote reproducibility of scientific findings. COS has three primary activities: * Infrastructure development to support the scientific workflow and to connect technologies that support scientific research and communication, such as the Open Science Framework * Community building on open practices among open-source developers, open science researchers, and the broader scientific community, such as the Open Science Collaboration * Metascience, research on scientific practices, such as Reproducibility Project: Psychology and our partnership with Science Exchange, Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology.
