Abrine targets ERK to suppress EMT and lung metastasis model via MAPKs and Nrf2/Keap-1/HO-1 signaling. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Combination with the ERK1/2 inhibitor SCH772984 further enhanced efficacy. Collectively, Abrine exerts potent anti-metastatic effects by directly targeting ERK to inhibit MAPK signaling, reversing EMT and engaging the Nrf2/Keap-1/HO-1 pathway, highlighting Abrine alone or with ERK inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy against lung metastasis model.

Triple-Synergistic Therapy with Cobalt-Pheophytin Coordination Micelles for Overcoming Drug Resistance in Pancreatic Cancers. (PubMed, ACS Appl Bio Mater)
To overcome this issue, herein, we developed a cobalt-pheophytin (CoPheo) coordination micelle chelating two chemotherapeutic agents including ONC201 and Palbociclib (Pal), yielding CoPheo-ONC201-Pal-F127. In addition, ONC201-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibition, combined with Pal-induced CDK4/6 blockade, promotes cellular senescence and remodels the tumor microenvironment. These three independent mechanisms collectively establish a mutually enhanced therapeutic strategy capable of overcoming the complex drug resistance driven by multiple downstream signaling pathways in KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer.

ONC206 demonstrates potent anti-tumorigenic activity and is a potential novel therapeutic strategy for high-risk medulloblastoma. (PubMed, Neuro Oncol)
Our results highlight ONC206 as a novel therapeutic option for patients with high-risk medulloblastoma and provide strong rationale for testing the efficacy of ONC206 in the treatment of these patients.

Dordaviprone/ONC201 Activation of the ClpP Mitochondrial Protease Inhibits the Growth of KRAS-Mutant Pancreatic Cancer and Overcomes RAS Inhibitor Resistance. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
We propose that concurrent treatment with ONC201 may delay onset of resistance to RAS inhibitor therapy. ClpP activation by dordaviprone/ONC201 suppressed PDAC cell growth and overcame resistance to the RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor RMC-7977, providing support for investigating this combination as a potential combination treatment for KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer.

FAM83A promotes the progression of lung squamous cell carcinoma by inducing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and inhibiting apoptosis via ERK pathway. (PubMed, Lung Cancer)
FAM83A is crucial in the advancement and spread of LUSC, as it promotes EMT and inhibits apoptosis via the activation of the ERK pathway. These findings highlight its potential as a strategic molecular target for the treatment of LUSC.

Wedelolactone, a Novel TLR2 Agonist, Promotes Neutrophil Differentiation and Ameliorates Neutropenia: A Multi-Omics Approach to Unravel the Mechanism. (PubMed, Adv Sci (Weinh))
Similarly, ERK1/2 inhibition by SCH772984 impairs WED-induced neutrophil differentiation and bactericidal activity, decreasing PU.1 and CEBPβ expression without affecting TLR2 levels. These findings position TLR2 as a key therapeutic target for neutropenia, with WED effectively promoting neutrophil differentiation via TLR2 and MEK/ERK pathway activation. This study highlights the therapeutic potential of targeting TLR2 to alleviate neutropenia and underscores the utility of a multi-omics approach in uncovering drug mechanisms.
