It has been shown that IL-4 induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of JAK1 and JAK3 in the majority of hemopoietic cell types, and JAK2 and TYK2 in several other types. However, the significance of this tyrosine phosphorylation in regulating IL-4 signaling has not been shown. To determine whether JAKs
Fibrosarcoma is an uncommon soft tissue tumor with a complex cell microenvironment, particularly rich in glycosaminoglycans/proteoglycans (GAGs/PGs). Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) participate in the modulation of various cellular functions, including adhesion and migration. The role of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of genistein on cancer invasion and associated cellular characteristics and explore the possibility of developing protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors as anti-metastasis drugs.
METHODS
HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells were exposed to 20 mumol/L or 40 mumol/L
Infantile fibrosarcoma (IFS; also known as cellular congenital mesoblastic nephroma, CMN, when in the kidney) is a rare, undifferentiated tumour often characterized by the ETV6-NTRK3 fusion transcript. Our goal was to identify downstream pathways, diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets
Human type I interferons (IFNs) play an important role in the regulation of antiviral defense mechanisms, immunomodulatory activities, and growth control. Recent efforts have demonstrated the importance of IFNs in the activation of signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs). The role
The Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma virus (HZ4-FeSV), isolated from a feline fibrosarcoma, is a replication defective acute transforming feline retrovirus that originated by transduction of feline c-kit sequences with feline leukemia virus (FeLV). The v-kit sequences of the HZ4-FeSV, a segment of
src, abl, and fps/fes are prototypes for a family of genes encoding nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinases. The oncogenic potential of the v-fps protein-tyrosine kinase was investigated by introduction of the gag-fps coding sequence of Fujinami sarcoma virus into the mouse germ line. Transgenic mice
BACKGROUND
Hormones and growth factors influence the proliferation and invasiveness of human mesenchymal tumors. The highly aggressive human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cell line harbors classical androgen receptor (AR) that responds to androgens triggering cell migration in the absence of significant
BACKGROUND
Canine oral fibrosarcoma (COF) is one of the most common oral tumors in dogs and carries a guarded prognosis due to a lack of effective systemic therapeutic options. Mastinib and imatinib are two commonly used tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in veterinary oncology but their potential
BACKGROUND
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor of neural crest cells that is clinically characterized by its variable evolution, from spontaneous regression to malignancy. Despite many advances in neuroblastoma research, 60% of neuroblastoma, which are essentially metastatic cases, are associated
A total of 16 cases of congenital fibrosarcoma have been reported from 1975 to March 2015. Five of the 16 had abnormal fusion between erythroblast transformation specific translocation variant 6 and neurotrophin recptor gene neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 3 (ETV6-NTRK3); in another
In 1911, Peyton Rous reported that a fibrosarcoma could be transmitted between chickens in a cell-free extract of the tumor. The transmissible agent, Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), transforms cells by virtue of the presence within its genome of a viral oncogene, v-src, which is derived from a normal
ABT-869 is a structurally novel, receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that is a potent inhibitor of members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor families (e.g., KDR IC50 = 4 nmol/L) but has much less activity (IC50s > 1 micromol/L)
Avian c-erbB encodes a protein that is homologous to the human epidermal growth factor receptor. Truncation of the amino-terminal, ligand-binding domain of this receptor results in an oncogene product which is a potent inducing agent for erythroleukemias but not fibrosarcomas in chickens. Here we
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase that is overexpressed in several human cancers, and induces survival, proliferation and motility of cells in culture. Phosphorylation of FAK has been studied extensively in vitro, but little is known about its regulation during tumor
