Additionally, it induced apoptosis, affected the cell cycle, and inhibited tumor growth. Our study uniquely demonstrates that targeting MALAT1 significantly impedes HSCC progression by downregulating its novel downstream target, MAP2K1, offering new insights into potential therapeutic strategies.

Reversine inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of human osteosarcoma cells through targeting MEK1. (PubMed, J Bone Oncol)

Western blot results show the regulation of MEK1 and ERK1/2 by reversine was not consistent in different osteosarcoma cell lines, but we found that reversine significantly inhibited the protein expression of MEK1 in MNNG/HOS, U-2 OS and MG-63. All these suggested that reversine can exert its anti-tumor effect by targeting the expression of MEK1.

MicroRNA miR-212-5p Regulates the MEK/ERK Signaling Pathway by Targeting A-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase (ARAF) to Regulate Cowshed PM-Induced NR8383 Apoptosis. (PubMed, Toxics)

The miR-212-5p mimic group showed an up-regulation of Bax and cleaved Caspase 3 expression but decreased Bcl2 expression compared to the NC group, and overexpression of ARAF up-regulated the expression of p-MEK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 and simultaneously reversed the above phenomena. miR-212-5p targets ARAF to affect the cowshed PM-induced apoptosis through the MEK/ERK signaling pathway, providing a potential target for relevant farming industry and pathology studies.

Efficacy of the Allosteric MEK Inhibitor Trametinib in Relapsed and Refractory Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia: A Report from the Children's Oncology Group (ASH 2023)

Upfront therapies typically include high-dose cytarabine or azacitidine, but the only definitive treatment is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We conducted an open label, phase 2 trial of trametinib in children with relapsed or refractory JMML. This is the first completed study of a MEK inhibitor in any hematologic malignancy in children. The trial met its primary objective and demonstrated a 50% objective response rate with 70% of patients bridging to a successful HSCT or completing the maximum 12 cycles permitted on study.

Our preliminary study suggested that the THAQ pharmacophore, with its disrupted conjugated ring system and relative redox inactivity, may possess greater mechanistic advantage against ER + breast cancer when compared to the fully conjugated ring systems of the anthraquinone that possess intrinsic redox activity and DNA interacting ability. This study supports the continued investigation of THAQs as lead molecules in anticancer drug discovery and development.

Inflammatory conversion of quiescent osteoblasts by metastatic breast cancer cells through pERK1/2 aggravates cancer-induced bone destruction. (PubMed, Bone Res)

Trametinib, an FDA-approved MEK inhibitor, not only reduced breast cancer-induced bone destruction but also dramatically reduced cancer growth in bone by inhibiting the inflammatory skeletal microenvironment. Taken together, these findings suggest that ERK1/2 activation in both breast cancer cells and osteoblasts is required for osteolytic breast cancer-induced inflammatory osteolysis and that ERK1/2 pathway inhibitors may represent a promising adjuvant therapy for patients with aggressive osteolytic breast cancers by altering the shared cancer and bone microenvironment.

The newly identified MEK1 tyrosine phosphorylation target MACC1 is druggable by approved MEK1 inhibitors to restrict colorectal cancer metastasis. (PubMed, Oncogene)

Targeting MEK1 by RNAi or clinically applicable MEK1 inhibitors AZD6244 and GSK1120212 reduces MACC1 tyrosine phosphorylation and restricts MACC1-induced metastasis formation in mice. This fundamental finding opens new therapeutic options for targeting the MEK1/MACC1 axis as novel vulnerability in patients at high risk for metastasis. This might be extended from CRC to further solid tumor entities.

HDAC8 Activates AKT through Upregulating PLCB1 and Suppressing DESC1 Expression in MEK1/2 Inhibition-Resistant Cells. (PubMed, Cells)

By using inhibitors, small interference RNAs and/or expression vectors, we found that the inhibition of HDAC8 suppressed PLCB1 expression and induced DESC1 expression in the resistant cells, which led to the inhibition of AKT and re-sensitization to LT and MEK1/2 inhibition. These results suggest that targeting PLCB1 and DESC1 is a novel strategy for inhibiting the resistance to MEK1/2 inhibition.
