Signaling through the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) results in rapid increases in tyrosine phosphorylation on a number of proteins. The BCR associates with two classes of tyrosine kinase: Src-family kinase (Src-protein-tyrosine kinase [PTK]; Lyn, Fyn, Blk, or Lck) and Syk kinase. We have investigated the interaction between the Src-PTK and the Syk kinase in the BCR signaling. In contrast to wil...

ECM = extracellular matrix; FAK = focal adhesion-associated tyrosine kinase; PTP = protein tyrosine phosphatase; RA = rheumatoid arthritis; SF = synovial fibroblast; Src-PTK = src protein tyrosine kinase.

The Src family kinases possess two sites of tyrosine phosphorylation that are critical to the regulation of kinase activity. Autophosphorylation on an activation loop tyrosine residue (Tyr 416 in commonly used chicken c-Src numbering) increases catalytic activity, while phosphorylation of a C-terminal tyrosine (Tyr 527 in c-Src) inhibits activity. The latter modification is achieved by the tyro...

We report on a 25 year old man with agammaglobulinaemia and refractory non-specific urethritis. After seven months of unsuccessful antibiotic treatment, his symptoms responded to the administration of intraurethral immunoglobulin.

Insulin causes a dramatic and rapid increase in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in the anti-phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates of cells overexpressing the human insulin receptor. This enzyme may therefore be a mediator of insulin signal transduction [Endemann, Yonezawa & Roth (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 396-400; Ruderman, Kapeller, White & Cantley (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87, ...

Background and aims: Activation of Kupffer cells recruitment monocytes are key events in fibrogenesis. These release soluble mediators which induce the activation hepatic stellate (HSC), main fibrogenic cell type within liver. Mer tyrosine kinase (MerTK) signaling regulates multiple processes macrophages has been implicated pathogenesis NASH-related fibrosis. In this study, we explored if MerTK...

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the standard of care for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) harbouring epidermal growth factor receptor mutations (EGFRm). However, role TKIs is not established in management stage III EGFRm disease. We describe real-world practice testing and use NSCLC KINDLE study, a multicentre, multi-country observational non-interventional stu...

The present study is a case report of patient with diagnosis renal cell carcinoma poor prospects, in whom long-term tumor control at the level deep cytoreduction was achieved through aggressive multidisciplinary management using surgery, stereotactic radiotherapy, and sequential systemic therapy immunotherapy based on checkpoint inhibitor anti-PDL1 activity combined anti-angiogenic treatment, b...

Src is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase (TK) whose involvement in cancer, including glioblastoma (GBM), has been extensively demonstrated. In this context, we started from our in-house library of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines that are active as and/or Bcr-Abl TK inhibitors and performed lead optimization study to discover new generation derivative suitable for targeting. We synthesized 19 compounds,...
