Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We previously reported that fasudil can be used anti-tumor drug via targeted CXCL14/BRAK secretion. This finding indicate that fasudil shows the potential to enhance the effect of cetuximab via increase secretion of BRAK protein. In this study, we examined the combination of cetuximab and fasudil. As a result, BRAK protein generated by cetuximab is to be secreted effectively by fasudil. This result suggests that fasudil reinforces an effect of cetuximab or reduces consumption of cetuximab, and can reduce a side effect.
