Pharmacological Targeting of the Pseudokinase Her3
Her3 (also known as ErbB3) belongs to the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases and is well credentialed as an anti-cancer target but is thought to be 'undruggable' using ATP-competitive small molecules because it lacks appreciable kinase activity. Here we report what is to our knowledge the first selective Her3 ligand, TX1-85-1, that forms a covalent bond with Cys721 located in the...
متن کاملDevelopment of small molecules targeting the pseudokinase Her3.
Her3 is a member of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase family, and it is often either overexpressed or deregulated in many types of human cancer. Her3 has not been the subject of small-molecule inhibitor development because it is a pseudokinase and does not possess appreciable kinase activity. We recently reported on the development of the first selective irrevers...
متن کاملDual targeting of HER3 and MEK may overcome HER3-dependent drug-resistance of colon cancers
Although the medical treatment of colorectal cancer has evolved greatly in the last years, a significant portion of early-stage patients develops recurrence after therapies. The current clinical trials are directed to evaluate new drug combinations and treatment schedules. By the use of patient-derived or established colon cancer cell lines, we found that the tyrosine kinase receptor HER3 is in...
متن کاملExamination of HER3 targeting in cancer using monoclonal antibodies.
The human EGF receptor (HER/EGFR) family of receptor tyrosine kinases serves as a key target for cancer therapy. Specifically, EGFR and HER2 have been repeatedly targeted because of their genetic aberrations in tumors. The therapeutic potential of targeting HER3 has long been underestimated, due to relatively low expression in tumors and impaired kinase activity. Nevertheless, in addition to se...
متن کاملAdvances in Targeting HER3 as an Anticancer Therapy
HER3 (ErbB3) is a unique member of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family (ErbB family). It functions only through dimerization with other members of the ErbB family and modulates activity and sensitivity to targeted cancer therapies. This paper briefly describes the mechanism of HER3 in signal transduction and its potential role in acquired resistance to EGFR- and HER2-target...
