Isn't this exactly what the NCBI's ELink is for?

You'd need to work out which of the Entrez databases you are
starting from (probably protein or genome), and then the relevant
ELink command (maybe genome_pubmed, or protein_pubmed,
protein_pubmed or protein_pubmed_weighted look possible).
Then for related pubmed articles, the ELink command is just
pubmed_pubmed.
