    Journal:  Equine Endothelial Cells Show Pro-Angiogenic Behaviours in Response to Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 but Not Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 19, 2024   
    Pharmacological inhibitors of FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) (SU5402) or mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) (PD184352) blocked FGF2-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation and functional responses, suggesting that these are dependent on FGFR1/MEK-ERK signalling...These results suggest a predominant role for FGF2 versus VEGF-A in controlling the angiogenic functions of equine ECs. Collectively, our novel data provide a sound basis for studying angiogenic processes in horses and lay the foundations for comparative studies of EC biology in horses versus humans.

    Journal:  Sulforaphane attenuates cancer cell-induced atrophy of C2C12 myotubes. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 20, 2022   
    Co-administration of Nrf2 inhibitors (ML-385) or MEK inhibitors (PD184352) revealed SFN's attenuation of atrophy was blocked by ERK inhibition. These data support the chemoprotective and antioxidative function of SFN in myotubes, highlighting its therapeutic potential for cancer-related muscle wasting.

    Preclinical, Journal:  IL-33 induces granzyme C expression in murine mast cells via an MSK1/2-CREB dependent pathway. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 8, 2022   
    The promoter for granzyme C contains a potential CREB binding site. Bone marrow derived mast cells from either MSK1/2 double knockout or CREB Ser133Ala knockin mice were unable to upregulate granzyme C. Together these results indicate that IL-33 induced granzyme C expression in mast cells is regulated by an MSK1/2-CREB dependent pathway.

    Anti-inflammatory effects of MEK1/2 inhibitors on cystic fibrosis macrophages (Exhibition Hall) -  Oct 8, 2022 - Abstract #NACFC2022NACFC_1093;    
    These data support the hypothesis that MEK1/2 inhibitorcompounds can be used to reduce detrimental inflammation withoutimpairing host defense mechanisms. Future studies will evaluate theeffects of MEK1/2 inhibitor compounds on the effector functions of CFneutrophils and on the in vivo response to infection.

    Journal:  Direct Targeting of the Raf-MEK-ERK Signaling Cascade Inhibits Neuroblastoma Growth. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 24, 2022   
    Furthermore, CI-1040 significantly inhibits tumor growth in different NB 3D spheroidal tumor models in a dose-dependent manner and by directly inhibiting spheroidal tumor cells. Overall, our findings highlight that direct inhibition of the Raf-MEK-ERK pathway is a novel therapeutic approach for NB, and further developing repurposing strategies using CI-1040 is a clinically tractable strategy for effectively treating NB.

    In contrast, idasanutlin, benzbromarone, 5-azacytidine, and plerixafor were effective against West Nile Virus MgM. These drugs can serve as future antiviral therapeutic agents following subsequent in vitro and in vivo efficacy studies.

    Journal:  A superior loading control for the cellular thermal shift assay. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 26, 2022   
    A reduction in data variance and standard deviations was observed after normalisation. Conclusively, APP-αCTF is a superior CETSA loading control that can be used as a standard for this technique.

    Processing body dynamics drive non-genetic MEKi toleranceby fine-tuning KRAS and NRAS translation (E-Poster Website) -  Mar 9, 2022 - Abstract #AACR2022AACR_6838;    
    Lung, breast, and melanoma cancer cells were incubated with MEKi inhibitors (PD184352 and trametinib). Altogether we describe here a new intricate mechanism involving LLPS and DDX6 in the translation regulation of essential cellular pathways that pave the way for future therapies targeting PBs to improve cancer targeted-drug therapies that are currently developed to target KRAS or NRAS unconnectedly.

    Journal:  Protein kinase Cα promotes proliferation and migration of schwann cells by activating ERK signaling pathway. (Pubmed Central) -  May 15, 2021   
    PD184352, an inhibitor of MEK1, reversed the effect induced by PMA on SCs...Furthermore, PKCα also exhibited a neuroprotective role by upregulating the expression of neurotrophic factors in SCs. To sum up, this study offers novel insights for clarifying our understanding of the involvement of PKCα in the mechanism of peripheral nerve degeneration as well as regeneration.

    [VIRTUAL] Targeting Eukaryotic Kinase Pathways as an Anti-Inflammatory Approach for Cystic Fibrosis () -  Mar 14, 2021 - Abstract #ATS2021ATS_1980;    
    Results from these studies demonstrate that the MEK1/2-ERK1/2 pathway is activated in the human CF tissue, and indicate that inhibition of this pathway in leukocytes is a target with anti-inflammatory potential in CF pulmonary disease. Inhibition of the MEK1/2 pathway did not impair critical host defense responses during in vitro leukocyte phagocytosis assays.

    Journal:  Current incidence and future projections of fragility hip fractures in Sri Lanka. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 3, 2021   
    Inhibition of the MEK1/2 pathway did not impair critical host defense responses during in vitro leukocyte phagocytosis assays. Although the observed hip fracture rate was low when compared with other countries, the number of hip fracture would increase from the current 10 per day to around 33 in 2051.

    Preclinical, Journal:  A mass spectrometry-based proteome map of drug action in lung cancer cell lines. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 16, 2020   
    Aggregating drug response across cell lines also revealed that one-quarter of compounds modulated the abundance of one of their known protein targets. Finally, the proteomic data led us to discover that inhibition of mitochondrial function is an off-target mechanism of the MAP2K1/2 inhibitor PD184352 and that the ALK inhibitor ceritinib modulates autophagy.

    Journal:  MAPK/ERK pathway inhibition is a promising treatment target for adrenocortical tumors. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 26, 2020   
    MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK) inhibition with PD184352 significantly decreased proliferation as well as steroidogenesis and also increased the redox state of the H295R cells. This data suggests that MEK-MAPK-ERK signaling has a role in adrenocortical tumorigenesis that could be potentially used as a diagnostic marker for malignancy and targeted treatment in ACC.

    MAPK-ERK Pathway Activation: The Achilles’ Heel of IL-7R‒Induced Steroid Resistance (Hall B, Level 2 (Orange County Convention Center)) -  Nov 7, 2019 - Abstract #ASH2019ASH_2112;    
    We generated doxycycline-inducible SUP-T1 and P12 Ichikawa cell line models that can overexpress specific IL-7R signaling mutants...Exposure to each of three MEK-inhibitors CI1040, Selumetinib or Trametinib abolished not only phospho-ERK but also phosphorylation of BIM...Refractory/relapse T-ALL patients are now eligible for the current phase 1/2 MEK-inhibitor‒dexamethasone (SeluDex) trial. We are using mass-spectrometry to determine the exact phospho-sites in BIM that drives steroid resistance that can serve as a valuable biomarker.

    Journal:  Metabolic conversion of CI-1040 turns a cellular MEK-inhibitor into an antibacterial compound. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 10, 2019   
    Surprisingly, ATR-002 also led to reduced bacterial growth in suspension cultures, reduced stress- and antibiotic tolerance without resistance induction. Our data identified for the first time that a particular MEK-inhibitor metabolite exhibits direct antibacterial activity, which is likely due to interference with the bacterial PknB kinase/Stp phosphatase signalling system.
