The insulin receptor/insulin-like growth factor receptor family as a therapeutic target in oncology.
Over the past decade, encouraging preclinical and early clinical data concerning the relevance of the insulin receptor/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor family to neoplasia led to ambitious clinical trial programs of more than a dozen drug candidates that target these receptors. These candidates include antireceptor antibodies, antiligand antibodies, receptor-specific tyrosine kinase in...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor receptor as a therapeutic target in head and neck cancer.
PURPOSE Insulin-like growth factor type I receptor (IGF-IR) plays critical roles in epithelial cancer cell development, proliferation, motility, and survival, and new therapeutic agents targeting IGF-IR are in development. Another receptor tyrosine kinase, the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), is an established therapeutic target in head and neck cancer and IGF-IR/EGFR heterodimerization...
متن کاملType I insulin-like growth factor receptor as a therapeutic target in cancer.
Data from experimental model systems and population studies have implicated type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) signaling in many different human cancers. Drugs to disrupt IGF1R function have been developed and are now entering clinical trial. This brief review will identify key areas to consider as these clinical trials move forward.
متن کاملValidation of the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor as a therapeutic target in renal cancer.
PURPOSE Expression of the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) confers adverse prognosis in clear cell renal cell cancer (CC-RCC). We recently showed that IGF1R expression is inhibited by the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor, and the IGF1R is up-regulated in CC-RCC, in which VHL is frequently inactivated. We tested the hypothesis that IGF1R up-regulation mediates resistanc...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor 1 receptor is a potential therapeutic target for gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
A subset of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) lack gain-of-function mutations in c-KIT and PDGFRalpha. These so-called wild-type (WT) GISTs tend to be less responsive to imatinib-based therapies and have a poor prognosis. We identified amplification of IGF1R in a SNP analysis of GIST and thus studied its potential as a therapeutic target in WT and mutant GIST. Expression of IGF1R and down...
