Roles of Polo-like kinase 3 in suppressing tumor angiogenesis
Angiogenesis is essential for promoting growth and metastasis of solid tumors by ensuring blood supply to the tumor mass. Targeting angiogenesis is therefore an attractive approach to therapeutic intervention of cancer. Tumor angiogenesis is a process that is controlled by a complex network of molecular components including sensors, signaling transducers, and effectors, leading to cellular resp...
متن کاملTargeting Polo-like kinase in cancer therapy.
Polo-like kinases (Plk) function in mitosis and maintaining DNA integrity. There are four family members, of which Plk1 represents a target for anticancer therapy. Plk1 is only expressed in dividing cells with peak expression during G2/M. Plk1 functions in multiple steps of mitosis, and is overexpressed in many tumor types. Mitotic arrest and inhibition of proliferation, apoptosis, and tumor gr...
متن کاملThe mitotic roles of Polo-like kinase.
The Polo-like protein kinases (Plks) are a conserved family of enzymes that play a variety of roles in the passage of cells through M phase (for reviews see Glover et al., 1998; Nigg, 1998). Named after the Drosophila polo gene originally identified through a recessive maternal effect lethal mutation, conserved Plk homologues have been identified in yeast, Xenopus, C. elegans and mammals. The i...
متن کاملPolo-like kinase 4 shapes up.
Polo-like kinase 4 (Plk4) is a master regulator of centriole duplication and targets to centrioles through the association of its cryptic polo box domain with centriole receptors. In this issue of Structure, Shimanovskaya and colleagues unveil a new dimeric architecture of Plk4's cryptic polo box that reveals a conserved mechanism for centriole targeting of the kinase.
متن کاملPolo-like kinase and survivin are esophageal tumor-specific promoters.
For developing successful cancer gene therapy strategies, tumor-specific gene delivery is essential. In this study, we used esophageal cancer (EC) cells to identify and evaluate esophageal tumor-specific gene promoters. Four genes (polo-like kinase-1/PLK, survivin/BIRC5, karyopherin alpha 2/KPNA2, and pituitary tumor transforming gene protein 1/PTTG1) were identified by a microarray analysis as...
