Since absence of expression of the c-src gene product in mice indicates that the pp60c-src tyrosine kinase is required and essential for osteoclastic bone resorption, we tested the effects of the antibiotic herbimycin A, which is an inhibitor of pp60c-src on osteoclastic bone resorption in vitro and
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine that is produced not only by a variety of normal cells but also by cancer cells. IL-6 produced by cancer cells stimulates the proliferation of these cancer cells in an autocrine/ paracrine manner and causes paraneoplastic syndromes including
The Rice-500 Leydig cell tumor of Fischer rats is associated with humoral hypercalcemia in vivo and produces a factor that stimulates cAMP formation in cultured rat osteosarcoma cells. We found that cultured human skin fibroblasts respond to both human PTH-(1-34) and the factor produced by cultured
Anti-bone resorption properties of the Korean herbal formulation, Honghwain (HHI; Carthamus tinctorius L. seed) was biochemically investigated. On processing bone metabolism, PGE2 accelerated production of IL-1beta in fetal mouse osteoblast and stimulated physiological activation substance,
A 13-yr-old female binturong ( Arctictis binturong ) presented with a 1 wk history of decreased appetite. The animal was thin, with hypercalcemia (calcium 12.2 mg/dl). A right renal mass was identified on ultrasound and removed via nephrectomy. Histopathology indicated a renal adenocarcinoma.
Sunitinib is a novel oral multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It has higher response rates and progression-free survival in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) when compared with standard chemotherapy and interferon-alpha. We report a case of paraneoplastic hypercalcemia,
Parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHRP) is the major causal agent in the syndrome of malignancy-associated hypercalcemia (MAH). Several studies have shown that PTHRP production is increased in response to growth factors and oncogenes, such as Tpr-Met, that are associated with the tyrosine kinase
We have purified peptides with PTH-like bioactivity from a rat Leydig cell tumor (H-500) and a human squamous cell carcinoma, both associated with a syndrome of humor-induced hypercalcemia. Tumor extracts were shown to be active in an in vitro renal cytochemical bioassay and in an in vitro
The tyrosine kinase Src has been implicated in the process of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Here, we describe a novel class of Src inhibitors, substituted 5,7-diphenyl-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines, and characterize one of them, CGP77675, in vitro and in models of bone resorption in vivo. In
Targeted disruption of the pp60(src) (Src) gene has implicated this tyrosine kinase in osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and as a therapeutic target for the treatment of osteoporosis and other bone-related diseases. Here, we describe structure activity relationships of a novel series of
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the preferred treatment drugs for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). The aim of this study was to analyze prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) in patients with mRCC treated with TKIs.
Clinical data on 155 patients enrolled in 5 clinical trials
Anti-bone resorption properties of the Korean herbal medicine, Yukmi-jihang-tang (YJ), which is comprised of seven herbs such as Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch, Dioscorea japonica THUNB, Cornus officinalis SIEB et. ZUCC, Smilax glabra ROXB, Paeonia suffruticosa ANDR, Alisma platago-aquatica var.
Mutation in the tyrosine kinase (TK) domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) gene drives the development of lung cancer. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKIs), including erlotinib and afatinib, are initially effective in treating EGFR mutant nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Adaptor protein-2 (AP2), a central component of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs), is pivotal in clathrin-mediated endocytosis, which internalizes plasma membrane constituents such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). AP2, a heterotetramer of α, β, μ and σ subunits, links clathrin to vesicle
OBJECTIVE
Hypercalcemia is a common paraneoplastic manifestation of many malignancies like breast, ovarian, and squamous-cell cancers of head and neck; however, there have been only a few case reports of hypercalcemia associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). We report a case of GIST
