Immunopharmacology Comments
In endothelial cells of the vasculature, and in activated human mast cells, ERK serves as an anti-inflammatory signal that suppresses production of pro-inflammatory mediators [12,15]. In contrast, in astrocytes ERK2 plays a role in augmenting inflammation and gliosis in a demyelinating mouse model [19].

General Comments
The RAS/RAF/MEK (MAPK) signalling pathway is a major driver of malignancy, particularly in cancers induced by activating mutations in RAS and BRAF. Whilst BRAF and MEK inhibitors are already used clinically, in many cancers resistance to these inhibitors develops through reactivation of the pathway downstream of BRAF and MEK. As the terminal node in the MAPK signalling pathway ERK1 (MAPK3) and ERK2 (MAPK1) are not subject to the feedback reactivation mechanisms that can negate the effects of RAF or MEK blockade. ERK1/2 inhibitors offer potential clinical benefit for cancers in which existing drugs are ineffective. To our knowledge, no ERK1/2 inhibitors have yet progressed beyond Phase 1/2 clinical trial.
