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.

Preclinical, Journal: MEK1/2 inhibition decreases pro-inflammatory responses in macrophages from people with cystic fibrosis and mitigates severity of illness in experimental murine methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 18, 2024 Wild-type mice treated with PD0325901 had significant reduction in neutrophil-mediated inflammation compared to vehicle treatment groups, with preserved clearance of bacteria in lung, liver, or spleen 1 day after infection in either wild-type or CF mouse models. In summary, this study provides the first data evaluating the therapeutic potential of MEK1/2 inhibitor to modulate CF immune cells and demonstrates that MEK1/2 inhibitors diminish pro-inflammatory responses without impairing host defense mechanisms required for acute pathogen clearance.

(Pubmed Central) - Sep 18, 2023 Still, this effect could be counteracted by PD184352, which simultaneously regulated the proliferation, apoptosis, and EMT of AGS cells. In conclusion, crocin, combined with DDP, inhibits proliferation, apoptosis, and EMT of GC through the FRFR3/MAPK/ERK pathway.

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.

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.

[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.

(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.

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.
