“…MEK5/ERK5 inhibition has been revealed to have a significant influence on the sensitisation of cancer cells to chemotherapy agents, justifying the potential of MEK5/ERK5 inhibitors for future clinical use. Inhibition of ERK5 sensitised tumour cells to etoposide [40], trastuzumab [26], fulvestrant [31], tamoxifen [31], docetaxel [27,28], doxorubicin [28,94,100,103], cisplatin [27,100], vinorelbine [27], imatinib [106], dexamethasone [19], bortezomib [19], cytarabine [73], and crizotinib [97]. It has also been demonstrated that ERK5 inhibition, either through pharmacological or genetic approaches, leads to tumour cell sensitisation to 5-FU [61].…”
