Cobimetinib and trametinib inhibit platelet MEK but do not cause platelet dysfunction [PDF]

open access: yesPlatelets, 2019
The MEK inhibitors cobimetinib and trametinib are used in combination with BRAF inhibitors to treat metastatic melanoma but increase rates of hemorrhage relative to BRAF inhibitors alone.

RUNX2/CBFB modulates the response to MEK inhibitors through activation of receptor tyrosine kinases in KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer

open access: yesTranslational Oncology, 2020
Intrinsic and acquired resistances are major hurdles preventing the effective use of MEK inhibitors for treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Some 35–45% of colorectal cancers are KRAS-mutant and their treatment remains challenging as these cancers are ...

DNMT1 expression partially dictates 5-Azacytidine sensitivity and correlates with RAS/MEK/ERK activity in gastric cancer cells

open access: yesEpigenetics, 2023
Though DNMTs inhibitors were widely used in myelodysplastic syndrome and leukaemia, their application in solid tumours has been limited by low response rate and lack of optimal combination strategies.

A New Compound with Increased Antitumor Activity by Cotargeting MEK and Pim-1

open access: yesiScience, 2020
Summary: Feedback circuits are one of the major causes underlying tumor resistance. Thus, compounds that target one oncogenic pathway with simultaneously blocking its compensatory pathway will be of great value for cancer treatment.

IRF1 Downregulation by Ras/MEK Is Independent of Translational Control of IRF1 mRNA. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Oncogenic activation of Ras/MEK downregulates the expression of interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1), which is a prerequisite for oncolytic viruses to replicate in cancer cells [1].

Molecular subtype specific efficacy of MEK inhibitors in pancreatic cancers. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Pancreatic cancer is an increasing cause of cancer related death worldwide. KRAS is the dominant oncogene in this cancer type and molecular rationale would indicate, that inhibitors of the downstream target MEK could be appropriate targeted agents, but ...

Severe Inflammatory Colitis Related to Encorafenib and Binimetinib following Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

open access: yesCase Reports in Gastroenterology, 2022
Encorafenib, a BRAF kinase inhibitor, in combination with binimetinib, a selective MEK inhibitor have known gastrointestinal adverse events; however, adverse colitis events have not been well studied.

MEK inhibitors increase the mortality rate in mice with LPS-induced inflammation through IL-12-NO signaling

open access: yesCell Death Discovery, 2023
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an endotoxin that can cause an acute inflammatory response. Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most important innate immune system components and is synthesized by inducible NOS (iNOS) in macrophages in response to stimulation ...
