Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: We examined downstream molecular events of MIN in osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma cells to search for a partner to combine with MIN. Furthermore, we evaluated the combined effects of MIN and clinically available Doxorubicin (DOX). RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the inhibition of the p38 MAPK pathway may be attractive in overcoming cellular resistance against MIN. In the light of clinical settings, MIN may have a beneficial adjuvant role in the DOX treatment.
