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.

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.

This phase Ib/II exploratory trial evaluated xentuzumab plus everolimus and exemestane in hormone receptor-positive, locally advanced and/or metastatic breast cancer (LA/MBC). Methods: Patients with hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative LA/MBC resistant to non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors were enrolled. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of xentuzumab/ everolimus/exemestane were determined in phase I (single-arm, dose-escalation). In phase II (open-label), patients were randomised 1:1 to the RP2D of xentuzumab/everolimus/exemestane or everolimus/exemestane alone. Randomisation was stratified by the presence of visceral metastases. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).

  • PIM2-Mediated Phosphorylation of Hexokinase 2 Is Critical for Tumor Growth and Paclitaxel Resistance in Breast Cancer
    Oncogene (2018) 37:5997–6009 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41388-018-0386-x ARTICLE PIM2-mediated phosphorylation of hexokinase 2 is critical for tumor growth and paclitaxel resistance in breast cancer 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 Tingting Yang ● Chune Ren ● Pengyun Qiao ● Xue Han ● Li Wang ● Shijun Lv ● Yonghong Sun ● Zhijun Liu ● 3 1 Yu Du ● Zhenhai Yu Received: 3 December 2017 / Revised: 30 May 2018 / Accepted: 31 May 2018 / Published online: 9 July 2018 © The Author(s) 2018. This article is published with open access Abstract Hexokinase-II (HK2) is a key enzyme involved in glycolysis, which is required for breast cancer progression. However, the underlying post-translational mechanisms of HK2 activity are poorly understood. Here, we showed that Proviral Insertion in Murine Lymphomas 2 (PIM2) directly bound to HK2 and phosphorylated HK2 on Thr473. Biochemical analyses demonstrated that phosphorylated HK2 Thr473 promoted its protein stability through the chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) pathway, and the levels of PIM2 and pThr473-HK2 proteins were positively correlated with each other in human breast cancer. Furthermore, phosphorylation of HK2 on Thr473 increased HK2 enzyme activity and glycolysis, and 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: enhanced glucose starvation-induced autophagy. As a result, phosphorylated HK2 Thr473 promoted breast cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, PIM2 kinase inhibitor SMI-4a could abrogate the effects of phosphorylated HK2 Thr473 on paclitaxel resistance in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our findings indicated that PIM2 was a novel regulator of HK2, and suggested a new strategy to treat breast cancer. Introduction ATP molecules.
