Leflunomide (LEF), used for rheumatoid arthritis, inhibits dihydro-orotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) and tyrosine kinase (TK) enzymes and has anti-inflammatory, lymphocyte proliferation regulatory, immunosuppression and chondroprotective effects. The most common adverse effects are gastrointestinal disorders, weight loss, hypertension, skin infection, and neurological and hematological toxicity. It...

Introduction The receptor tyrosine kinase Axl is described as a driver for migration and metastasis well resistance against molecular targeting agents radio- chemotherapy (RCT) in various tumor entities including head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). For the latter, clinical data describing impact of its ligand Gas6 on patient outcome are sparse.

Asthma is a disease marked by inflammation of airways with an increasing incidence rate worldwide especially among Asian population. Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is known to be involved in regulation of such inflammation response and thereby rendering its inevitable importance among asthma patients. DNA extraction followed by PCR and sequencing was performed for genomic analysis, mRNA analysis ...

      Genistein is a soya isoflavone, which is found naturally in legumes, such as soybeans and chickpeas. The intraperitoneal administration of the optimum dose (200 mg/kg) of genistein 24 h and 15 minbefore irradiation (8 Gy at a dose rate of 1.02 Gy/min) recovered the deficit in protein content (28.63±1.44%) and the DNA content (21.61±8.19%) if an average of 5 intervals of autopsies 1st...

suppression of akt (protein kinase b) has been implicated in schizophrenia, the effect which has been documented to be reversed by tyrosine phosphatase inhibition. t hus, present study has been designed to study the effect of sodium orthovanadate, a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, on protracted methionine administration induced schizophrenia like behavior in rats.   schizophrenia like behavior ...

ETV6-ABL1 gene fusion is a rare genetic rearrangement in variety of malignancies, including myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and myeloid (AML). Here, we report the case 16-year-old male diagnosed with MPN, 7 months post-completion treatment for Burkitt leukaemia. RNA sequencing analysis confirmed presence an transcript, intact, in-frame ABL tyrosine–kinase...

Background: The transformation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) into small cell cancer (SCLC) accounts for 3–14% the resistance mechanism to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). At present, there is no relevant research explore dynamic expression EGFR-mutant proteins and genomic evolution in transformed SCLC/neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC).

AIMS To study the regulation of type 1 insulin like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) tyrosine kinase activity using the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and a green fluorescent protein (GFP) tagged, full length IGF-1R. METHODS The beta chain of the IGF-1R (betawt) was expressed under inducible conditions in the fission yeast S. pombe. Western blot analysis with antiphosphotyrosine antib...
