General description

A cell-permeable cyclohexylamino-indenone compound that acts as an allosteric inhibitor against substrate binding-induced MAPK phosphatase activity of Dusp1/CL100/HVH1/MKP1/PTPN10 and Dusp6/MKP3/PYST1 (57% and 30% reduction, respectively, of 0.21 and 2.1 µg Erk2-induced OMFP dephosphorylation by 0.21 µg Dusp6) by locking Dusp1 and Dusp6 in their low-activity conformation, while exhibiting little activity toward Cdc25B, DUSP3/VHR, DUSP5, or PTP1B. Shown to effectively enhance cellular Erk phosphorylation in HeLa cells overexpressing human Dusp1 and Dusp6 (EC50 = 11.5 and 12.3 µM, respectively). FGF signaling activation by BCI treatment (5 to 10 µM) during zebrafish embryo development is reported to expand myocardial progenitors population at the expense of other progenitor cell types, resulting in enlarged heart size.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive terminal lung disease, and therapies aim to block fibrosis. Fibroblast proliferation is controlled by C/EBP-β, microRNA cluster 17-92 (miR17-92), and Erk1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase. This study assessed the role of miR17-92 in IPF-fibroblast

Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumor with current classification offering limited therapeutic guidance. Here, we interrogated meningioma enhancer landscapes from 33 tumors to stratify patients based upon prognosis and identify novel meningioma-specific dependencies. Enhancers robustly stratified meningiomas into
