background: the secondary genetic changes other than the promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor (pml-rara) fusion gene may contribute to the acute promyelocytic leukemogenesis. chromosomal alterations and mutation of flt3 (fms-like tyrosine kinase 3) tyrosine kinase receptor are the frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia. however, the prognostic significance of flt3 mutat...

introduction: tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tkis) were the first drugs to use an intracellular signaling molecule as a therapeutic target. unresponsiveness to tkis limits therapeutic options, making allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) the only option leading to molecular remission. objectives: to characterize cml patients unresponsive to first- and/or second-generation tki t...

Abstract: Aim: LK (B-lymphocyte kinase) is a protein from the family SRC (Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase), an important cell signaling molecule that influences cellular response. The BLK kinase has been potential target for cancer therapy. As result, this could be initial step toward development of novel inhibitors to fight cancer. Materials and Methods: A homology model human tyrosine ...

MPNs including a heterogeneous group of clonal or oligoclonal hamtopathies characterized by proliferation and accumulation of mature myeloid cells. JAK2 tyrosine kinase mutation is the most common molecular lesion identified in 90% of cases. JAK2 is involved in EPO signaling pathway, and mutations in it lead to EPO-independent spontaneous phosphorylation. Most tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) a...

In this study, we aimed to determine VEGFR-2, EGFR and PDGFR-β tyrosine kinase inhibitory activities of some pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives previously synthesized and showed potent cytotoxic and apoptotic effects against several cancer cell lines by our group and to evaluate the relationships between inhibitory activities and binding properties of the active compounds by molecular docking...

lung cancer is still diagnosed in advanced stage and most patients do not have the opportunity for surgical treatment. although in the recent years new diagnostic equipment is available such as the radial and linear endobronchial ultrasound (ebus) and electromagnetic fiberoptic bronchoscopy. however; novel targeted therapies with tyrosine kinase inhibitors of second generation and immunotherapy...

Osteoarthritis is the fourth leading cause of disability affecting more than 300 million people around globe. In this disease, chondrocytes responsible for growth and maintenance articular joints start to deplete due rogue involvement phosphoinositide 3-kinase, protein kinase-B p38 mitogenactivated kinases. Presently, there are medications providing symptomatic treatment, however, they cannot t...

background: salivary gland tumors (sgt) are rare lesions with uncertain histopathology. one of the major signaling pathways that participate in the development of several tumors is protein kinase a. in this pathway, glycogen synthase kinase β (gsk3β) and camp responsive element binding protein (creb3) are two genes which are supposed to be down regulated in most human tumors. the expression lev...

nitric oxide (no) is thought to be involved in spatial learning and memory in several brain areas such as hippocampus. this study examined the effects of post-training intrahippocampal microinjections of 1400w as a selective inos inhibitor on spatial memory, in anesthetized and non-anesthetized situations in rats. in the present work, 4-day training trials of animals were conducted. spatial mem...
