Promoter Janus Kinase 3 Proximal Characterization and Analysis Of
The Journal of Immunology Characterization and Analysis of the Proximal Janus Kinase 3 Promoter1 Martin Aringer,2*† Sigrun R. Hofmann,2* David M. Frucht,* Min Chen,* Michael Centola,* Akio Morinobu,* Roberta Visconti,* Daniel L. Kastner,* Josef S. Smolen,† and John J. O’Shea3* Janus kinase 3 (Jak3) is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase essential for signaling via cytokine receptors that comprise the common ␥-chain (␥c), i.e., the receptors for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21. Jak3 is preferentially expressed in hemopoietic cells and is up-regulated upon cell differentiation and activation. Despite the importance of Jak3 in lymphoid development and immune function, the mechanisms that govern its expression have not been defined. To gain insight into this issue, we set out to characterize the Jak3 promoter. The 5-untranslated region of the Jak3 gene is interrupted by a 3515-bp intron. Upstream of this intron and the transcription initiation site, we identified an ϳ1-kb segment that exhibited lymphoid-specific promoter activity and was responsive to TCR signals. Truncation of this fragment revealed that core promoter activity resided in a 267-bp fragment that contains putative Sp-1, AP-1, Ets, Stat, and other binding sites. Mutation of the AP-1 sites significantly diminished, whereas mutation of the Ets sites abolished, the inducibility of the promoter construct. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that histone acetylation correlates with mRNA expression and that Ets-1/2 binds this region. Thus, transcription factors that bind these sites, especially Ets family members, are likely to be important regulators of Jak3 expression. -

The CD CD8 CD8 nomenclature was developed and is maintained through the HLDA (Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens) workshop started in 1982. CD45R/B220 CD19 CD19 The goal is to provide standardization of monoclonal antibodies to B Cell CD20 CD22 (B cell activation marker) human antigens across laboratories. To characterize or “workshop” the antibodies, multiple laboratories carry out blind analyses of antibodies. These results independently validate antibody specificity. CD11c CD11c Dendritic Cell CD123 CD123 While the CD nomenclature has been developed for use with human antigens, it is applied to corresponding mouse antigens as well as antigens from other species. However, the mouse and other species NK Cell CD56 CD335 (NKp46) antibodies are not tested by HLDA. Human CD markers were reviewed by the HLDA. New CD markers Stem Cell/ CD34 CD34 were established at the HLDA9 meeting held in Barcelona in 2010.

LMTK2 is less LMTK2 studied and little is known about its function. Here we demonstrate that LMTK2 modulates NF-κB activity and NF-κB functions to promote colonic tumorigenesis. We found that LMTK2 protein was abundant in colon cancer cells Colon cancer and LMTK2 knockdown (LMTK2-KD) inhibited proliferation of colon cancer cells through inactivating NF-κB. In unstimulated condition, LMTK2 modulated NF-κB through inhibiting phosphorylation of p65 at Ser468. Mechanistically, LMTK2 phosphorylated protein phosphatase 1A (PP1A) to prevent PP1A from depho- sphorylating p-GSK3β(Ser9). The p-GSK3β(Ser9) could not phosphorylate p65 at Ser468, which maintained the basal NF-κB activity. LMTK2 also modulated TNFα-activated NF-κB. LMTK2-KD repressed TNFα-induced IKKβ phosphorylation, IκBα degradation and NF-κB activation, implying that LMTK2 modulates TNFα-activated NF- κB via IKK. -

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). -

Proteomic data is especially challenging because mass spectrometry detectors often miss peptides in complex samples, resulting in sparsely populated data sets. -

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. -

UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Non-Mutated Kinases in Metastatic Prostate Cancer
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Non-mutated kinases in metastatic prostate cancer: drivers and therapeutic targets A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular Biology by Claire Faltermeier 2016 © Copyright by Claire Faltermeier 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Non-mutated kinases in prostate cancer: drivers and therapeutic targets by Claire Faltermeier Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular Biology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Hanna K. A. Mikkola, Chair Metastatic prostate cancer lacks effective treatments and is a major cause of death in the United States. Targeting mutationally activated protein kinases has improved patient survival in numerous cancers. However, genetic alterations resulting in constitutive kinase activity are rare in metastatic prostate cancer. Evidence suggests that non-mutated, wild-type kinases are involved in advanced prostate cancer, but it remains unknown whether kinases contribute mechanistically to metastasis and should be pursued as therapeutic targets. Using a mass- spectrometry based phosphoproteomics approach, we identified tyrosine, serine, and threonine kinases that are differentially activated in human metastatic prostate cancer tissue specimens compared to localized disease. To investigate the functional role of these kinases in prostate cancer metastasis, we screened over 100 kinases identified from our phosphoproteomic and previously-published transcriptomic studies for their ability to drive metastasis. In a primary ii screen using a lung colonization assay, we identified 20 kinases that when overexpressed in murine prostate cancer cells could promote metastasis to the lungs with different latencies. We queried these 20 kinases in a secondary in vivo screen using non-malignant human prostate cells.
