XMD8-92, an ERK5 inhibitor, decreased stem-cell properties in colon cancer, inhibited EMT in PDAC, and attenuated inflammasome formation in malignant mesothelioma via downregulation of oncogenes c-MYC, KRAS, and VEGFR1/2, stemness regulators NOTCH1, OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG, EMT transcription factors ZEB1/2, SNAIL, and SLUG, and upregulation of tumor suppressor miRNAs -let-7a, -143/145, and -200 [20,84]. This evidence concerns the gene NOTCH1 and malignant colon neoplasm.
