Taher,1* Esther P. M. Tjin,1* Esther A. Beuling,* Jannie Borst,† Marcel Spaargaren,* and Steven T. Pals2* Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF) and its receptor tyrosine kinase Met are key regulators of epithelial motility and morphogenesis. Recent studies indicate that the HGF/Met pathway also plays a role in B cell differentiation, whereas uncontrolled Met signaling may lead to B cell neoplasia. These observations prompted us to explore HGF/Met signaling in B cells. In this study, we demonstrate that HGF induces strong tyrosine phosphorylation of the proto-oncogene product c-Cbl in B cells and increases Cbl association with the Src family tyrosine kinases Fyn and Lyn, as well as with phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase and CrkL. In addition, we demonstrate that c-Cbl mediates HGF-induced ubiquitination of Met. This requires the juxtamembrane tyrosine Y1001 (Y2) of Met, but not the multifunctional docking site (Y14/15) or any additional C-terminal tyrosine residues (Y13–16). In Downloaded from contrast to wild-type c-Cbl, the transforming mutants v-Cbl and 70Z/3 Cbl, which lack the ubiquitin ligase RING finger domain, suppress Met ubiquitination. Our findings identify c-Cbl as a negative regulator of HGF/Met signaling in B cells, mediating ubiquitination and, consequently, proteosomal degradation of Met, and suggest a role for Cbl in Met-mediated tumorigenesis.

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.

In this study we focused on revealing c-Met as a potential target of calycosin suppressing glioblastomas. In this study, suppressed-cell proliferation and cell invasion together with induced-cell apoptosis appeared in calycosin-treated U251 and U87 cells. Under treatment of calycosin, the mRNA expression levels of Dtk, c-Met, Lyn and PYK2 were observed in U87 cells. Meanwhile a western blot assay showed that c-Met together with matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP9) and phosphorylation of the serine/threonine kinase AKT (p-AKT) was significantly down-regulated by calycosin. Furthermore, overexpressed c-Met in U87 enhanced the expression level of MMP9 and p-AKT and also improved cell invasion. Additionally, the expression levels of c-Met, MMP9 and p-AKT were inhibited by calycosin in c-Met overex- pressed cells. However, an AKT inhibitor (LY294002) only effected on MMP9 and p-AKT, not on c-Met. These data collectively indicated that calycosin possibility targeting on c-Met and exert an anti-tumor role via MMP9 and AKT.

  • 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).

It is characterized by lack of circulating T and NK (Natural Killer) cells and normal number of B lymphocytes. The disease is due to mutations in the JAK3 gene encoding an intracellular tyrosine kinase that is physically and functionally coupled with several cytokine receptors. Identification of gene anomalies has allowed physicians to make the diagnosis (even prenatal), and may prompt novel forms of treatment based on gene therapy. Although a relatively low number of JAK3-deficient subjects have been diagnosed, JAK3 deficiency represents an important cause of autosomal recessive SCID in the United States and its prevalence in Europe appears to be even higher. However it is considered as a rare disease (incidence is between 1/100,000 and 1/1,000,000 live births). JAK3-deficient patients present with the classical clinical features of SCID in the first few months of life, i.e. chronic diarrhea, failure to thrive, recurrent respiratory infection and/or generalized infections from opportunistic pathogens, or signs of graft-versus-host reaction (skin rash, abnormalities of liver function, pancytopenia) from transplacental acquired maternal T cells.
