Inhibition of p90 ribosomal S6 kinase potentiates cisplatin activity in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells by Abdulrahman, Nabeel

“…Methods: Our study examined the effect of cisplatin, BI-D1870 (RSK inhibitor) or their combination on cell migration, apoptosis, autophagy and cell cycle in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells. Results: The combination of cisplatin and BI-D1870 potentiated the antimigration rate, the activation of caspases-3 and was associated with a significant decrease in RSK1 and ERK expression when compared to cisplatin alone. …”
