Therefore, mebendazole, especially at low concentrations, preferentially induces MM cell apoptosis in a manner dependent on the expression of c-Maf. Mebendazole exerts synergistic antimyeloma effects with a USP5 inhibitor Previous studies identified WP1130 as a small molecule compound that inhibits the deubiquitinase activity of USP5 [15] . Mebendazole delays the growth of human multiple myeloma xenografts in a nude mouse model The above studies provided strong evidence that mebendazole inhibits the USP5/c-Maf axis and induces MM cell apoptosis. ./cache/cord-012726-1i1mj3jw.txt ./txt/cord-012726-1i1mj3jw.txt
