AXL receptor tyrosine kinase as a therapeutic target in NSCLC
The AXL receptor tyrosine kinase and its ligand, Gas6, regulate key processes in lung cancer growth, metastasis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-associated drug resistance. Gas6 and AXL expression have been correlated with poor prognosis and advanced clinical stage in patients with lung cancer, and targeting the Gas6/AXL pathway demonstrates antitumor activity, decreases cellular invasion...
متن کاملThe Receptor Tyrosine Kinase AXL in Cancer Progression
The AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (AXL) has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for cancer therapy. Recent studies have revealed a central role of AXL signaling in tumor proliferation, survival, stem cell phenotype, metastasis, and resistance to cancer therapy. Moreover, AXL is expressed within cellular components of the tumor microenvironment where AXL signaling contributes to the immunos...
متن کاملReceptor tyrosine kinase Axl modulates the osteogenic differentiation of pericytes.
Vascular pericytes undergo osteogenic differentiation in vivo and in vitro and may, therefore, be involved in diseases involving ectopic calcification and osteogenesis. The purpose of this study was to identify factors that inhibit the entry of pericytes into this differentiation pathway. RNA was prepared from pericytes at confluence and after their osteogenic differentiation (mineralized nodul...
متن کاملThe role of AXL and the in vitro activity of the receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor BGB324 in Ewing sarcoma
New targets for Ewing sarcoma (ES) patients are urgently needed. Therefore, we investigated the expression and genetic aberrations of the oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) AXL in ES and determined the efficacy of AXL targeting on cell viability and migration. First, AXL and Gas6 (ligand) mRNA expression was determined by RT-PCR on 29 ES samples. Low, medium and high AXL mRNA expression w...
متن کاملAxl, a receptor tyrosine kinase, mediates flow-induced vascular remodeling.
Intima-media thickening (IMT) in response to hemodynamic stress is a physiological process that requires coordinated signaling among endothelial, inflammatory, and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Axl, a receptor tyrosine kinase, whose ligand is Gas6, is highly induced in VSMC after carotid injury. Because Axl regulates cell migration, phagocytosis and apoptosis, we hypothesized that Axl wo...
