Mukhopadhyay Published:2004.6.01 Department of Biotechnology, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Sector-67, S.A.S Nagar, Mohali, Punjab, India-160062 Abstract Tyrosine kinases are important mediators of the signaling cascade, determining key roles in diverse biological processes like growth, differentiation, metabolism and apoptosis in response to external and internal stimuli. Recent advances have implicated the role of tyrosine kinases in the pathophysiology of cancer. Though their activity is tightly regulated in normal cells, they may acquire transforming functions due to mutation(s), overexpression and autocrine paracrine stimulation, leading to malignancy. Constitutive oncogenic activation in cancer cells can be blocked by selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors and thus considered as a promising approach for innovative genome based therapeutics. The modes of oncogenic activation and the different approaches for tyrosine kinase inhibition, like small molecule inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, heat shock proteins, immunoconjugates, antisense and peptide drugs are reviewed in light of the important molecules. As angiogenesis is a major event in cancer growth and proliferation, tyrosine kinase inhibitors as a target for anti-angiogenesis can be aptly applied as a new mode of cancer therapy. The review concludes with a discussion on the application of modern techniques and knowledge of the kinome as means to gear up the tyrosine kinase drug discovery process.

Therefore, protein expression of PDGF receptors a and b as well as amplification status of the respective genes, PDGFRA and PDGFRB, were examined in a series of 22 patients harboring choroid plexus carcinoma using immunohistochemistry and chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH). The majority of choroid plexus carcinomas expressed PDGF receptors with 6 cases (27%) displaying high staining scores for PDGF receptor a and 13 cases (59%) showing high staining scores for PDGF receptor b. Correspondingly, copy-number gains of PDGFRA were observed in 8 cases out of 12 cases available for CISH and 1 case displayed amplification (six or more signals per nucleus). The proportion of choroid plexus carcinomas with amplification of PDGFRB was even higher (5/12 cases).

Kasi2 Cholangiocarcinoma is a heterogeneous and target-rich disease with differences in actionable targets. Intrahepatic and extrahepatic types of cholangiocarcinoma differ significantly in clinical presentation and underlying genetic aberrations. Research has shown that extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is more likely to be associated with ERBB2 (HER2) genetic aberrations. Various anti-HER2 clinical trials, case reports and other molecular studies show that HER2 is a real target in cholangiocarcinoma; however, anti-HER2 agents are still not approved for routine administration. Here, we show in a metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with ERBB2 amplification identified on liquid biopsy (circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing), a dramatic response to now over 12 months of dual-anti-HER2 therapy. We also summarize the current literature on anti-HER2 therapy for cholangiocarcinoma. This would likely become another treatment option for this target-rich disease. npj Precision Oncology (2019) 3:19 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41698-019-0091-4 INTRODUCTION We present a 71-year-old female diagnosed with metastatic Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a lethal tumor arising from the CCA with ERBB2 (HER2) 3+ amplification determined by circulating epithelium of the bile ducts that most often presents at an tumor DNA (ctDNA)

Received April 6, 2018; Accepted April 9, 2018; Epub May 1, 2018; Published May 15, 2018 Abstract: Glioma, the most prevalent malignancy in brain, is classified into four grades (I, II, III, and IV), and grade IV glioma is also known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Aberrant activation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), including platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), are frequently observed in glioma. Accumulating evi- dence suggests that PDGFR plays critical roles during glioma development and progression and is a promising drug target for GBM therapy. However, PDGFR inhibitor (PDGFRi) has failed in clinical trials, at least partially, due to the activation of other RTKs, which compensates for PDGFR inhibition and renders tumor cells resistance to PDGFRi. Therefore, identifying the RTKs responsible for PDGFRi resistance might provide new therapeutic targets to syner- getically enhance the efficacy of PDGFRi.

Despite the ability of EGF to stimulate the production of Ptdlns 3-kinase products and to cause the appearance of PtdIns 3-kinase activity in antiphosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates in several cell lines, we did not detect EGF-stimulated Ptdlns 3-kinase activity in anti-EGF receptor immunoprecipitates. This result is consistent with the lack of a phosphorylated Tyr-X-X-Met motif, the p85 Src homology 2 (SH2) domain recognition sequence, in this receptor sequence. The EGF receptor homolog, ErbB2 protein, also lacks this motif. However, the ErbB3 protein has seven repeats of the Tyr-X-X-Met motif in the carboxy-terminal unique domain. Here we show that in A431 cells, which express both the EGF receptor and ErbB3, Ptdlns 3-kinase coprecipitates with the ErbB3 protein (pl80eR3) in response to EGF. p180B3 is also shown to be tyrosine phosphorylated in response to EGF.

  • The Erbb Receptor Tyrosine Family As Signal Integrators
    Endocrine-Related Cancer (2001) 8 151–159 The ErbB receptor tyrosine family as signal integrators N E Hynes, K Horsch, M A Olayioye and A Badache Friedrich Miescher Institute, PO Box 2543, CH-4002 Basel, Switzerland (Requests for offprints should be addressed to N E Hynes, Friedrich Miescher Institute, R-1066.206, Maulbeerstrasse 66, CH-4058 Basel, Switzerland. Email: [email protected]) (M A Olayioye is now at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, PO Royal Melbourne Hospital, Victoria 3050, Australia) Abstract ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and their ligands have important roles in normal development and in human cancer. Among the ErbB receptors only ErbB2 has no direct ligand; however, ErbB2 acts as a co-receptor for the other family members, promoting high affinity ligand binding and enhancement of ligand-induced biological responses. These characteristics demonstrate the central role of ErbB2 in the receptor family, which likely explains why it is involved in the development of many human malignancies, including breast cancer. ErbB RTKs also function as signal integrators, cross-regulating different classes of membrane receptors including receptors of the cytokine family. Cross-regulation of ErbB RTKs and cytokines receptors represents another mechanism for controlling and enhancing tumor cell proliferation. Endocrine-Related Cancer (2001) 8 151–159 Introduction The EGF-related peptide growth factors The epidermal growth factor (EGF) or ErbB family of type ErbB receptors are activated by ligands, known as the I receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) has four members:EGF EGF-related peptide growth factors (reviewed in Peles & receptor, also termed ErbB1/HER1, ErbB2/Neu/HER2, Yarden 1993, Riese & Stern 1998).

  • Ephrin-A Binding and Epha Receptor Expression Delineate the Matrix Compartment of the Striatum
    The Journal of Neuroscience, June 15, 1999, 19(12):4962–4971 Ephrin-A Binding and EphA Receptor Expression Delineate the Matrix Compartment of the Striatum L. Scott Janis, Robert M. Cassidy, and Lawrence F. Kromer Department of Cell Biology and Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC 20007 The striatum integrates limbic and neocortical inputs to regulate matrix neurons. In situ hybridization for EphA RTKs reveals that sensorimotor and psychomotor behaviors. This function is de- the two different ligand binding patterns strictly match pendent on the segregation of striatal projection neurons into the mRNA expression patterns of EphA4 and EphA7. anatomical and functional components, such as the striosome Ligand–receptor binding assays indicate that ephrin-A1 and and matrix compartments. In the present study the association ephrin-A4 selectively bind EphA4 but not EphA7 in the lysates of ephrin-A cell surface ligands and EphA receptor tyrosine of striatal tissue. Conversely, ephrin-A2, ephrin-A3, and kinases (RTKs) with the organization of these compartments ephrin-A5 bind EphA7 but not EphA4. These observations im- was determined in postnatal rats. Ephrin-A1 and ephrin-A4 plicate selective interactions between ephrin-A molecules and selectively bind to EphA receptors on neurons restricted to the EphA RTKs as potential mechanisms for regulating the com- matrix compartment. Binding is absent from the striosomes, partmental organization of the striatum. which were identified by m-opioid
