Recent Advances in Pharmacological Diversification of Src Family Kinase Inhibitors Preeya Negi1, Rameshwar S Negi et al. Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics (2021) 22:52 Egyptian Journal of Medical https://doi.org/10.1186/s43042-021-00172-x Human Genetics REVIEW Open Access Recent advances in pharmacological diversification of Src family kinase inhibitors Preeya Negi1, Rameshwar S. Cheke2 and Vaishali M. Patil1* Abstract Background: Src kinase, a nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase is composed of 11 members (in human) and is involved in a wide variety of essential functions required to sustain cellular homeostasis and survival. Main body of the abstract: Deregulated activity of Src family kinase is related to malignant transformation. In 2001, Food and Drug Administration approved imatinib for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia followed by approval of various other inhibitors from this category as effective therapeutics for cancer patients. In the past decade, Src family kinase has been investigated for the treatment of diverse pathologies in addition to cancer. In this regard, we provide a systematic evaluation of Src kinase regarding its mechanistic role in cancer and other diseases. Here we comment on preclinical and clinical success of Src kinase inhibitors in cancer followed by diabetes, hypertension, tuberculosis, and inflammation. Short conclusion: Studies focusing on the diversified role of Src kinase as potential therapeutical target for the development of medicinally active agents might produce significant advances in the management of not only various types of cancer but also other diseases which are in demand for potent and safe therapeutics.

Received: 2012.08.31; Accepted: 2012.10.01; Published: 2012.11.01 Abstract The non-receptor tyrosine kinase Csk serves as an indispensable negative regulator of the Src family tyrosine kinases (SFKs) by specifically phosphorylating the negative regulatory site of SFKs, thereby suppressing their oncogenic potential. Csk is primarily regulated through its SH2 domain, which is required for membrane translocation of Csk via binding to scaffold proteins such as Cbp/PAG1. The binding of scaffolds to the SH2 domain can also upregulate Csk kinase activity. These regulatory features have been elucidated by analyses of Csk structure at the atomic levels. Although Csk itself may not be mutated in human cancers, perturbation of the regulatory system consisting of Csk, Cbp/PAG1, or other scaffolds, and certain tyrosine phosphatases may explain the upregulation of SFKs frequently observed in human cancers. This review focuses on the molecular bases for the function, structure, and regulation of Csk as a unique regulatory tyrosine kinase for SFKs.

Currently the five-year survival rate for AML patients is 27.4 percent. Meanwhile the standard of care for most AML patients has not changed for nearly 50 years. We now know that AML is a genetically heterogeneous disease and therefore it is unlikely that all AML patients will respond to therapy the same way. Upregulation of protein-tyrosine kinase signaling pathways is one common feature of some AML tumors, offering opportunities for targeted therapy.

  • Inhibition of Src Family Kinases and Receptor Tyrosine Kinases by Dasatinib: Possible Combinations in Solid Tumors
    Published OnlineFirst June 13, 2011; DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-10-2616 Clinical Cancer Molecular Pathways Research Inhibition of Src Family Kinases and Receptor Tyrosine Kinases by Dasatinib: Possible Combinations in Solid Tumors Juan Carlos Montero1, Samuel Seoane1, Alberto Ocaña2,3, and Atanasio Pandiella1 Abstract Dasatinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets a wide variety of tyrosine kinases implicated in the pathophysiology of several neoplasias. Among the most sensitive dasatinib targets are ABL, the SRC family kinases (SRC, LCK, HCK, FYN, YES, FGR, BLK, LYN, and FRK), and the receptor tyrosine kinases c-KIT, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) a and b, discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1), c-FMS, and ephrin receptors. Dasatinib inhibits cell duplication, migration, and invasion, and it triggers apoptosis of tumoral cells. As a consequence, dasatinib reduces tumoral mass and decreases the metastatic dissemination of tumoral cells. Dasatinib also acts on the tumoral microenvironment, which is particularly important in the bone, where dasatinib inhibits osteoclastic activity and favors osteogenesis, exerting a bone-protecting effect. Several preclinical studies have shown that dasatinib potentiates the antitumoral action of various drugs used in the oncology clinic, paving the way for the initiation of clinical trials of dasatinib in combination with standard-of-care treatments for the therapy of various neoplasias. Trials using combinations of dasatinib with ErbB/HER receptor antagonists are being explored in breast, head and neck, and colorectal cancers. In hormone receptor–positive breast cancer, trials using combina- tions of dasatinib with antihormonal therapies are ongoing. Dasatinib combinations with chemother- apeutic agents are also under development in prostate cancer (dasatinib plus docetaxel), melanoma (dasatinib plus dacarbazine), and colorectal cancer (dasatinib plus oxaliplatin plus capecitabine).

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.

Binding of FLT3 its ligand, FLT3 ligand (FL), induces dimerization and activation of its intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. This FLT3 ligand leads to autophosphorylation of FLT3 on several tyrosine residues which constitute high affinity binding sites for Receptor tyrosine kinase signal transduction molecules. Recruitment of these signal transduction molecules to FLT3 leads to the activation Src family kinase of several signal transduction pathways that regulate cell survival, cell proliferation and differentiation. Acute myeloid leukemia Oncogenic, constitutively active mutants of FLT3 are known to be expressed in acute myeloid leukemia and to correlate with poor prognosis. Activation of the receptor mediates cell survival, cell proliferation and differ- entiation of cells. Several of the signal transduction pathways downstream of FLT3 have been shown to include various members of the SRC family of kinases (SFKs). They are involved in regulating the activity of RAS/ERK pathways through the scaffolding protein GAB2 and the adaptor protein SHC. They are also involved in negative regulation of signaling through phosphorylation of the ubiquitin E3 ligase CBL.

  • Beyond TCR Signaling: Emerging Functions of Lck in Cancer and Immunotherapy
    Review Beyond TCR Signaling: Emerging Functions of Lck in Cancer and Immunotherapy Ursula Bommhardt, Burkhart Schraven and Luca Simeoni * Institute of Molecular and Clinical Immunology, Otto-von-Guericke University, Leipziger Strasse 44, 39120 Magdeburg, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel. +49-391-6717894 Received: 12 June 2019; Accepted: 12 July 2019; Published: 16 July 2019 Abstract: In recent years, the lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck) has emerged as one of the key molecules regulating T-cell functions. Studies using Lck knock-out mice or Lck-deficient T-cell lines have shown that Lck regulates the initiation of TCR signaling, T-cell development, and T-cell homeostasis. Because of the crucial role of Lck in T-cell responses, strategies have been employed to redirect Lck activity to improve the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and to potentiate T-cell responses in cancer immunotherapy. In addition to the well-studied role of Lck in T cells, evidence has been accumulated suggesting that Lck is also expressed in the brain and in tumor cells, where it actively takes part in signaling processes regulating cellular functions like proliferation, survival and memory. Therefore, Lck has emerged as a novel druggable target molecule for the treatment of cancer and neuronal diseases. In this review, we will focus on these new functions of Lck. Keywords: Lck; T cell; CAR; cancer; leukemia; brain 1. Introduction The lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck) is a member of the Src family of protein tyrosine kinases firstly identified in the 1980s [1,2]. Since then, the function of Lck has been extensively investigated and many mechanistic insights into the regulation of its activity have been revealed.

  • Depletion of Csk Preferentially Reduces the Protein Level of Lyna In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Depletion of Csk preferentially reduces the protein level of LynA in a Cbl-dependent manner in cancer cells Takahisa Kuga1 ✉ , Yuka Yamane1, Soujirou Hayashi1, Masanari Taniguchi1, Naoto Yamaguchi2 & Nobuyuki Yamagishi1 There are eight human Src-family tyrosine kinases (SFKs). SFK members c-Src, c-Yes, Fyn, and Lyn are expressed in various cancer cells. SFK kinase activity is negatively regulated by Csk tyrosine kinase. Reduced activity of Csk causes aberrant activation of SFKs, which can be degraded by a compensatory mechanism depending on Cbl-family ubiquitin ligases. We herein investigated whether all SFK members are similarly downregulated by Cbl-family ubiquitin ligases in cancer cells lacking Csk activity. We performed Western blotting of multiple cancer cells knocked down for Csk and found that the protein levels of the 56 kDa isoform of Lyn (LynA), 53 kDa isoform of Lyn (LynB), c-Src, and Fyn, but not of c-Yes, were reduced by Csk depletion. Induction of c-Cbl protein levels was also observed in Csk-depleted cells. The reduction of LynA accompanying the depletion of Csk was signifcantly reversed by the knockdown for Cbls, whereas such signifcant recovery of LynB, c-Src, and Fyn was not observed. These results suggested that LynA is selectively downregulated by Cbls in cancer cells lacking Csk activity. Te Src-family tyrosine kinases (SFKs) are composed of eight members in humans: c-Src, c-Yes, Fyn, Lyn, Lck, Fgr, Hck and Blk1. c-Src, c-Yes, Fyn and Lyn are widely expressed in a variety of cell types, whereas other members are primarily restricted to specifc cell types2.

    cancers Review Cortactin: A Major Cellular Target of the Gastric Carcinogen Helicobacter pylori Irshad Sharafutdinov , Steffen Backert and Nicole Tegtmeyer * Division of Microbiology, Department of Biology, Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Staudtstr. 5, D-91058 Erlangen, Germany; [email protected] (I.S.); steff[email protected] (S.B.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 December 2019; Accepted: 6 January 2020; Published: 9 January 2020 Abstract: Cortactin is an actin binding protein and actin nucleation promoting factor regulating cytoskeletal rearrangements in nearly all eukaryotic cell types. From this perspective, cortactin poses an attractive target for pathogens to manipulate a given host cell to their own benefit. One of the pathogens following this strategy is Helicobacter pylori, which can cause a variety of gastric diseases and has been shown to be the major risk factor for the onset of gastric cancer. During infection of gastric epithelial cells, H. pylori hijacks the cellular kinase signaling pathways, leading to the disruption of key cell functions. Specifically, by overruling the phosphorylation status of cortactin, H. pylori alternates the activity of molecular interaction partners of this important protein, thereby manipulating the performance of actin-cytoskeletal rearrangements and cell movement. In addition, H. pylori utilizes a unique mechanism to activate focal adhesion kinase, which subsequently prevents host epithelial cells from extensive lifting from the extracellular matrix in order to achieve chronic infection in the human stomach.
