Biochem/physiol Actions
(E/Z)-BCI Hydrochloride is an inhibitor of dual-specificity phosphatase 6 (Dusp6) and Dusp1; hyperactivates FGF signaling.
BCI is an allosteric inhibitor of Dusp6 that acts within the phosphatase domain to prevent the catalytic stimulation of phosphatase activity induced by ERK2 substrate binding. BCI also hyperactivates FGF signaling, since Dusp6 functions as a feedback regulator of FGF signaling.
Objectives: Sorafenib is the only FDA-approved first-line target drug for HCC patients. However, sorafenib merely confers 3-5 months of survival benefit with less than 30% of HCC patients sensitive to sorafenib therapy. Thus, it's necessary to develop a sensitizer for

It is widely accepted that neuroinflammation in the spinal cord contributes to the development of central sensitization in neuropathic pain. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation plays a vital role in the development of neuroinflammation in the spinal cord. In this

While selective overexpression of serum clinical biomarker Human epididymis secretory protein 4 (HE4) is indicative of ovarian cancer tumorigenesis, much is still known about the mechanistic role of the HE4 gene or gene product. Here, we examine the role of
