CX-4945: the protein kinase CK2 inhibitor and anti-cancer drug shows anti-fungal activity
77 views | Nov 07 2019
Masłyk M et al. indicated their data unveil the dual-activity of CX-4945; when used in anti-cancer therapy, it may simultaneously prevent cancer-associated candidiasis. [Read the Full Post]
CX-4945, a Selective Inhibitor of Casein Kinase 2, Synergizes with B Cell Receptor Signaling Inhibitors in Inducing Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Cell Death
204 views | Jun 08 2019
Mandato E et al. suggested a role for CK2 downstream of the BCR in controlling survival pathways crucial for cell growth of different DLBCL subtypes. Also, the use of CX-4945 in combination with BCR signaling blockers could represent a novel rational therapeutic approach in the DLBCL. [Read the Full Post]
CK2 inhibition with silmitasertib promotes methuosis-like cell death associated to catastrophic massive vacuolization of colorectal cancer cells
232 views | Apr 13 2019
Silva-Pavez E et al. suggested that an aberrantly elevated expression/activity of CK2 may play a key role in CRC, promoting cell viability and proliferation in untreated cells, however, its inhibition with silmitasertib promotes methuosis-like cell death associated to massive catastrophic vacuolization, accounting for decreased tumorigenicity at later times. These characteristics of silmitasertib support a potential therapeutic use in CRC patients and probably other CK2-dependent cancers. [Read the Full Post]
CK2α' Drives Lung Cancer Metastasis by Targeting BRMS1 Nuclear Export and Degradation
