Growth-stimulating pathways in lung cancer: implications for targets of therapy.

Clinical lung cancer

Sekine I, Saijo N.
PMID: 14720364
Clin Lung Cancer. 2001 May;2(4):299-306; discussion 307. doi: 10.3816/clc.2001.n.013.

Growth-stimulating pathways activated independently of their normal tissue environment are critical to the carcinogenesis and progression of lung cancer. These pathways are comprised of extracellular growth factors; their specific receptors on the cellular membrane; signal transduction cascades in the...

Atypical cannabinoid ligands O-1602 and O-1918 administered chronically in diet-induced obesity.

The Rho family GTPases Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 have emerged as key players in cancer metastasis, due to their essential roles in regulating cell division and actin cytoskeletal rearrangements; and thus, cell growth, migration/invasion, polarity, and adhesion. This review...

Molecular probes for the human adenosine receptors.

Purinergic signalling

Yang X, Heitman LH, IJzerman AP, van der Es D.
PMID: 33313997
Purinergic Signal. 2021 Mar;17(1):85-108. doi: 10.1007/s11302-020-09753-8. Epub 2020 Dec 12.

Adenosine receptors, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by the endogenous ligand adenosine, have been considered potential therapeutic targets in several disorders. To date however, only very few adenosine receptor modulators have made it to the market. Increased...

Altered Organelle Calcium Transport in Ovarian Physiology and Cancer.

Cancers

Caravia L, Staicu CE, Radu BM, Condrat CE, Crețoiu D, Bacalbașa N, Suciu N, Crețoiu SM, Voinea SC.
PMID: 32785177
Cancers (Basel). 2020 Aug 10;12(8). doi: 10.3390/cancers12082232.

Calcium levels have a huge impact on the physiology of the female reproductive system, in particular, of the ovaries. Cytosolic calcium levels are influenced by regulatory proteins (i.e., ion channels and pumps) localized in the plasmalemma and/or in the...

Pre-existing Cell States Control Heterogeneity of Both EGFR and CXCR4 Signaling.

Cellular and molecular bioengineering

Spinosa PC, Kinnunen PC, Humphries BA, Luker GD, Luker KE, Linderman JJ.
PMID: 33643466
Cell Mol Bioeng. 2020 Jul 27;14(1):49-64. doi: 10.1007/s12195-020-00640-1. eCollection 2021 Feb.

INTRODUCTION: CXCR4 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) represent two major families of receptors, G-protein coupled receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases, with central functions in cancer. While utilizing different upstream signaling molecules, both CXCR4 and EGFR activate kinases ERK...

Peptidyl and Non-Peptidyl Oral Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists.

Endocrinology and metabolism (Seoul, Korea)

Choe HJ, Cho YM.
PMID: 33677922
Endocrinol Metab (Seoul). 2021 Feb;36(1):22-29. doi: 10.3803/EnM.2021.102. Epub 2021 Feb 24.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are efficacious glucose-lowering medications with salient benefits for body weight and cardiovascular events. This class of medications is now recommended as the top priority for patients with established cardiovascular disease or indicators of high...
