Inhibition of IGF-1 Signalling Enhances the Apoptotic Effect of AS602868, an IKK2 Inhibitor, in Multiple Myeloma Cell Lines

Abstract Summary

Combining an IGF-1 receptor antibody with an IKK2 inhibitor shows promising results against multiple myeloma cells. The dual therapy enhanced cancer cell death, disrupted mitochondrial function, and blocked NF-κB signaling more effectively than single treatment. This approach could improve outcomes for myeloma patients with high IGF-1 receptor levels.

Why Brain? 🧠

Combining IGF-1 receptor blockade with IKK2 inhibitor enhances myeloma cell death by disrupting survival pathways, offering a potential new dual-target treatment strategy for multiple myeloma patients.
