    A novel cell-based assay for the high-throughput screening of epithelial-mesenchymal transition inhibitors: Identification of approved and investigational drugs that inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition. (PubMed, Lung Cancer)
    We systematically screened approved, investigational, and druggable compounds with inhibitory effects using a reporter assay, and identified candidate drugs for EMT inhibition.

    MEK1/2 is a bottleneck that induces cancer stem cells to activate the PI3K/AKT pathway. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
    The miPS cells were cultured for one week in the presence of the conditioned medium (CM) of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells and AZD-6244, PD0325901, a pan-MEK inhibitor, or GDC-0879, a B-Raf inhibitor. Moreover, converted cells gained migration and invasion abilities assessed by in vitro assays. Therefore, the inhibition of MEK1/2 was found to be critical for the conversion of normal stem cells into CSCs in the tumor-inducing microenvironment.
