| Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common gastrointestinal cancers.According to the data,incidence of colorectal cancer become the third in the malignant tumor.There is a rising trend for the incidence of colorectal cancer in our country.The main treatment of colorectal cancer are surgery,radiotherapy,chemotherapy,supportive care.However,the treatment of the most of the colorectal cancer patients are failed,because of recurrence and metastasis after surgical treatment or side effects and drug resistences of chemotherapy.Therefore,it is necessary to search for new therapeutic strategies to deal with it.Targeted therapy has been widely used in clinical practice.However,there are not effective targeted drugs for colorectal cancer patients with BRAFV600 E mutations.In malignant melanoma,BRAF gene mutation account for about 80% of the gene mutantions.In colorectal cancer,the BRAFV600 E gene mutation in approximately 12-15%.Vemurafenib for malignant melanoma with BRAF gene mutation showed good clinical efficiency,and the drug was well tolerated,but the efficiency of Vemurafenib for colorectal cancer patients with BRAF gene mutation were poor.Related studies have found that a feedback regulation of EGFR in colorectal cancer.EGFR rapidly reaction after the application of BRAF inhibitor,and then it promote cell growth,proliferation,differentiation and other biological activities.In malignant melanoma,there is no EGFR feedback pathway and the expression levels of EGFR is low.Anti-EGFR targeted drugs can enhance the sensitivity of Vemurafenib for colorectal cancer,but often requires three targeted drugs.That is limits the application of targeted drugs in clinical practice.The high levels of expression of c-Met is associated with the resistence to chemical and targeted therapy.In colorectal cancer,the activation of c-Met can activate the RAS / RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.Therefore,there may be inter action between the c-Met and BRAF gene.However,the combination therapy of c-Met inhibitor PHA665752 and Vemurafenib in colorectal cancer with BRAFV600 E gene mutation have not been reported.Objective: To evaluate the proliferation effect of colorectal cancer cell lines with BRAF gene mutation treated by c-Met inhibitor PHA665752 in combination with Vemurafenib.Method:1 The proliferation efficacy of different concentrations of c-Met inhibitor PHA665752 on HT29 and RKO cell lines detected by MTT assay at 24 h,48h and 72 h.2 The proliferation efficacy of different concentrations of Vemurafenib on HT29 and RKO cell lines detected by MTT assay at 24 h,48h and 72 h.3 The proliferation efficacy of different concentrations of PHA665752 in combination with Vemurafenib on HT29 and RKO cell lines detected by MTT assay at 24 h,48h and 72 h.4 The influence of cell cycle of PHA665752 in combination with Vemurafenib in HT29 and RKO cell lines detected by Flow Cytometry.5 To obtain the HT29 cell lines with expressing BRAF-short hairpin RNA(shRNA)by lentivirus transfection method.6 The BRAF mRNA and protein expression of HT29 cell transfected with BRAF small hairpin RNA detected by RT-PCR and Western
