Cancer Pathways – cellular targets Source: Prous Integrity
Phosphorylation • Phosphorylation by protein kinases is the most widespread and well-studied signal mechanisms in eukaryotic cells • Kinome: 518 kinases, each phosporylates a distinct set of substrates • Understanding complex network of kinase-based signaling is important for cancer and cardiovascular diseases
Approved drug: an example • Tykerb (lapatinib ditosylate) is an EGFR and ErbB-2 dual tyrosince kinase inhibitor. • EGFR- epidermal growth factor receptor • ErbB-2 (HER2/neu) – Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 • Developed by GlaxoSmithKline • Approved by FDA March 2007 for use in combination with capectabine for patients with advanced, metastatic breast cancer that is HER2 positive.
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases – cancer and cardiovascular diseases
Protein tyrosince phosphatases • The PTP superfamily of enzymes functions in a coordinated manner with protein tyrosine kinases to control signal pathways • Regulatory role of protein kinases well established. • But protein phosphatases can no longer viewed as passive housekeeping enzymes in the processes.
