Dual specific phosphatases (DUSPs) are a family of phosphatases, including DUSP4, DUSP5, and DUSP6, that function as negative regulators of the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway. These DUSPs have been extensively studied in various human cancers, particularly those with KRAS mutations. Our previous research indicated that these DUSPs are downregulated by KRAS knockdown in KRAS mutant lung cancer cell lines and upregulated in an hTERT/Cdk4-immortalized normal human bronchial cell line HBEC3-KT expressing mutant KRAS Show less
