molecular pathways in prostate cancer
results like other cancers, prostate cancer is caused by an accumulation of genetic alterations in a cell that drives it to malignant growth. specific genes and gene alterations have been suggested to play a role in its development and progression. aneuploidy, loss of heterozygosity, gene mutations, hypermethylation and inactivation of specific tumour suppressor genes such as gstpi, apc, mdr1, ...
متن کاملMolecular Pathways Molecular Pathways: Fatty Acid Synthase
Therapies that target tumor metabolism represent a new horizon in anticancer therapies. In particular, cancer cells are dependent on the generation of lipids, which are essential for cell membrane synthesis, modification of proteins, and localization of many oncogenic signal transduction enzymes. Because fatty acids are the building blocks of these important lipids, fatty acid synthase (FASN) e...
متن کاملMolecular Pathways Molecular Pathways: BCR-ABL
Aberrant tyrosine kinase activity plays a critical role in many hematologic disorders, including chronic myeloid leukemia characterized by the constitutive activity of BCR-ABL. ABL therefore represents a crucial target for new therapeutic strategies. Here, we summarize the molecular pathways that are abnormally activated by the oncoprotein. Such pathways may provide additional opportunities to ...
متن کاملMolecular Pathways Molecular Pathways: ProteinMethyltransferases inCancer
The proteinmethyltransferases (PMT) constitute a large and important class of enzymes that catalyze sitespecific methylation of lysine or arginine residues on histones and other proteins. Site-specific histone methylation is a critical component of chromatin regulation of gene transcription—a pathway that is often genetically altered in human cancers. Oncogenic alterations (e.g., mutations, chr...
متن کاملMolecular Pathways Molecular Pathways: HER3 Targeted Therapy
The HER family of receptor tyrosine kinases, including EGF receptor (EGFR), HER2, HER3, and HER4, transduce growth-promoting signals in response to ligand binding to their extracellular domains (ECD). This family is deregulated in numerous cancers, withmutations in EGFR andHER2 often serving as "driver" events to activate key growth factor signaling pathways such as the RAS-ERK and PI3K-AKT pat...
