In apoptotic cells, the binding of that they engulf. MerTK is expressed on the phagocytes and TAM receptor dimers occurs via interaction with paired Gas6 binds the ligands linked to the PtdSer-presenting apoptotic or ProS molecules bound to the interacting cell membrane via cells [Figure 1b] [24]. Intriguingly, enveloped viruses present PtdSer, thereby forming a tetrameric complex [Figure 1b]. PtdSer residues, mimicking apoptotic cells, and infect innate Gas6 can interact with all TAM receptors, while ProS binds immune cells, resulting in decreased expression of type I MerTK and Tyro3 only [19]. TAM receptors have overlapping interferon (IFN) [25]. Blockage of TAM receptors impairs the expression patterns and functions. However, TAM-deficient and infectivity of viruses such as dengue, West Nile, Ebola, and triple gene knockout mice are viable [12].

The func- tions of TAM receptors are both in regulating cancer cells and immune cells, which provide as good dual targets for cancer drug development.

ABSTRACT C-Met is a frequently overexpressed or amplified receptor tyrosine kinase involved in metastatic-related functions, including migration, invasion, cell survival, and angiogenesis. Because of its role in cancer progression and metastasis, many inhibitors have been developed to target this pathway. Unfortunately, most c-Met inhibitor clinical trials have failed to show significant improvement in survival of cancer patients. In these trials tumor type, protein overexpression, or gene amplification are the primary selection criteria for patient inclusion. Our data show that none of these criteria are associated with c-Met pathway activation. Hence, it is conceivable that the majority of c-Met inhibitor clinical trial failures are the consequence of a lack of appropriate patient selection. Further complicating matters, c-Met inhibitors are routinely tested in preclinical studies in the presence of high levels of exogenous Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), its activating ligand.

We biochemically validated the screen by demonstrating that the release of a soluble intracellular fragment from endogenous AXL was dependent on the sheddase disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10) and the gamma-secretase component prese- nilin-1. Functional analysis of the cleavable RTKs indicated that proliferation promoted by overexpression of the TAM family members AXL or TYRO3 depends on gamma-secretase cleavage. Taken together, these data indicate that gamma-secretase–mediated cleavage provides an additional signaling mechanism for numerous human RTKs.

Simple Summary: Protein phosphorylation is a key regulatory mechanism that controls a wide variety of cellular responses. This process is catalysed by the members of the protein kinase su- perfamily that are classified into two main families based on their ability to phosphorylate either tyrosine or serine and threonine residues in their substrates. Massive research efforts have been invested in dissecting the functions of tyrosine kinases, revealing their importance in the initiation and progression of human malignancies. Based on these investigations, numerous tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been included in clinical protocols and proved to be effective in targeted therapies for various haematological malignancies.

Although VEGF-A can activate both VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 membrane receptors, PlGF and VEGF-B exclusively interact with VEGFR-1. Differently from VEGFR-2, which is involved both in physiological and pathological angiogenesis, in the adult VEGFR-1 is required only for pathological angiogenesis. Besides this role in tumor endothelium, ligand-mediated stimulation of VEGFR-1 expressed in tumor cells may directly induce cell chemotaxis and extracellular matrix invasion. Furthermore, VEGFR-1 activation in myeloid progenitors and tumor-associated macrophages favors cancer immune escape through the release of immunosuppressive cytokines. These properties have prompted a number of preclinical and clinical studies to analyze VEGFR-1 involvement in the metastatic process.

While AXL and MERTK have been extensively studied, less is known about TYRO3. Recent studies revealed roles for TYRO3 in cancer and suggest TYRO3 as a therapeutic target in this context. TYRO3 is overexpressed in many types of cancer and functions to promote tumor cell survival and/or proliferation, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy. In addition, higher levels of TYRO3 expression have been associated with decreased overall survival in patients with colorectal, hepatocellular, and breast cancers. Here we review the physiological roles for TYRO3 and its expression and functions in cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment, with emphasis on the signaling pathways that are regulated downstream of TYRO3 and emerging roles for TYRO3 in the immune system.
