BACKGROUND: Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a highly aggressive cancer in need of new therapeutic strategies. The neddylation pathway can protect cells from DNA damage induced by the platinum-based chemotherapy used in RMC. We investigated if neddylation inhibition with pevonedistat will synergistically enhance antitumour effects of platinum-based chemotherapy in RMC. METHODS: We evaluated the IC50 concentrations of the neddylation-activating enzyme inhibitor pevonedistat in vitro in RMC cell lines...
