TARGETING TNF-RECEPTOR ASSOCIATED FACTORS (TRAFs) FOR THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION
TNF-Receptors Associated Factors (TRAFs) are the molecules that upon engagement of the TNF-receptor (TNFR) by a TNF-family ligand come first in contact with the activated TNFR, initially acting as docking molecules for kinases and other effector proteins that are recruited to the activated receptor. TRAFs later regulate the subcellular relocalization of the receptor-ligand complex and finally t...
متن کاملFocal adhesion kinase: targeting adhesion signaling pathways for therapeutic intervention.
The tumor microenvironment plays a central role in cancer progression and metastasis. Within this environment, cancer cells respond to a host of signals including growth factors and chemotactic factors, as well as signals from adjacent cells, cells in the surrounding stroma, and signals from the extracellular matrix. Targeting the pathways that mediate many of these signals has been a major goa...
متن کاملInhibition of PYK2-induced actin cytoskeleton reorganization, PYK2 autophosphorylation and focal adhesion targeting by FAK.
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2) are structurally related tyrosine kinases. They are implicated in regulating actin cytoskeleton organization, a process critical for cell migration, mitosis and tumor metastasis. In this paper, we demonstrate that, although both PYK2 and FAK were expressed and colocalized at focal adhesions in fibroblasts, microinjection of P...
متن کاملTargeting β-catenin signaling for therapeutic intervention in MEN1-deficient pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours
Inactivating MEN1 mutations are the most common genetic defects present in sporadic and inherited pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PNETs). The lack of interventional therapies prompts us to explore the therapeutic approach of targeting β-catenin signalling in MEN1-mutant PNETs. Here we show the MEN1-encoded scaffold protein menin regulates phosphorylation of β-catenin. β-catenin signalling is...
متن کاملProteomics analysis of bladder cancer invasion: Targeting EIF3D for therapeutic intervention
Patients with advanced bladder cancer have poor outcomes, indicating a need for more efficient therapeutic approaches. This study characterizes proteomic changes underlying bladder cancer invasion aiming for the better understanding of disease pathophysiology and identification of drug targets. High resolution liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry analysis of tissue specimen...
