Molecular and Cellular Pathobiology IL4 Receptor ILR4a Regulates Metastatic Colonization by Mammary Tumors through Multiple Signaling Pathways
IL4, a cytokine produced mainly by immune cells, may promote the growth of epithelial tumors by mediating increased proliferation and survival. Here, we show that the type II IL4 receptor (IL4R) is expressed and activated in human breast cancer and mouse models of breast cancer. In metastatic mouse breast cancer cells, RNAi-mediated silencing of IL4Ra, a component of the IL4R, was sufficient to...
متن کاملLapatinib, a preventive/therapeutic agent against mammary cancer, suppresses RTK-mediated signaling through multiple signaling pathways.
Activation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) plays a key role in the prognosis of mammary cancer. Lapatinib is a small molecule dual RTK inhibitor that targets epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Identifying the protein targets involved in the effects of lapatinib and other RTK inhibitors might help determine why preventive efficacy vari...
متن کاملHighly Metastatic Mammary Tumors Associated with Mammary-Specific Ron Receptor Overexpression Induces
Activated growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) play pivotal roles in a variety of human cancers, including breast cancer. Ron, a member of the Met RTK proto-oncogene family, is overexpressed or constitutively active in 50% of human breast cancers. To define the significance of Ron overexpression and activation in vivo , we generated transgenic mice that overexpress a wild-type or const...
متن کاملTypes of glioma brain tumors and genetic alterations in signaling pathways in them
Types of glioma brain tumors and genetic alterations in signaling pathways in them Background & Objective: Glioma is a common type of primary brain tumor originating in the glial cells that surrounds and supports neurons in the brain. These tumors arise from three different types of cells that are normally found in the brain: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells, accordingly types ...
متن کاملGastrin regulates the TFF2 promoter through gastrin-responsive cis-acting elements and multiple signaling pathways.
Trefoil family factor 2 (TFF2) is expressed in gastrointestinal epithelial cells where it serves to maintain mucosal integrity and promote epithelial repair. The peptide hormone, gastrin, stimulates acid secretion but also induces proliferation of the acid-secreting mucosa. Because the relationship between these peptides of overlapping function is not understood, we chose to investigate the reg...
