Src-family tyrosine kinases as therapeutic targets in advanced cancer

Open access
Gelman, Irwin H·2011·Frontiers in Bioscience

Abstract

Src-family tyrosine kinases (SFK) play critical roles in mediating many cellular pathways such as proliferation, adhesion, survival, differentiation and cell motility. There is clear evidence that SFK activity is increased in many human cancers, either through gene amplification, transcriptional upregulation, posttranslational modification by activated upstream growth factor receptors, and even in rare cases, by mutations known to increase intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity in oncoviral forms of SFK. Many recent studies using animal models of human cancer seem to indicate that SFK may only be appropriate therapeutic targets in a subset of primary tumors because of the existence of multiple independent pathways that mediate oncogenic signaling. In contrast, SFK seem to be required for specific parameters of malignant progression, such as recurrence and/or metastasis- especially involving growth in the bone microenvironment. The resulting development of SFK antagonists, and their progression through clinical trials, has brought renewed focus on this tyrosine kinase family as critical mediators of the so-called lethal phenotype of cancer.

  • Preclinical evidence in sarcoma and ovarian cancer cell lines suggests that activation of Src reduces sensitivity to various chemotherapeutic drugs, including platinum agents, and that this resistance can be reversed by pharmacological inhibition.

    “In addition, evidence from preclinical studies in sarcoma and ovarian cancer cell lines suggests that activation of Src reduces sensitivity to various chemotherapeutic drugs, including platinum agents, and that this resistance can be reversed by pharmacological inhibition [19, 20][21–23][24].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
