  • Publication number: 20240100068
    Abstract: In certain aspects, disclosed herein are methods of treating cancer in a subject, comprising administration to the subject of (1) one or more glucocorticoid receptor agonists and (2) one or more inhibitors of calcineurin. In some embodiments, the administration of the one or more glucocorticoid receptor agonists and the one or more inhibitors of calcineurin results in restoration of contact inhibition, increased formation of intercellular junctions, reduced cell proliferation, and/or increased vacuolization of cells growing in multilayer zones. Included herein are methods for identification of novel compounds that restore contact inhibition in cancer cells.
