Abstract
The MET receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and its cognate ligand hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) comprise a signaling axis essential for development, wound healing and tissue homeostasis. Aberrant HGF/MET signaling is a driver of many cancers and contributes to drug resistance to several approved therapeutics targeting other RTKs, making MET itself an important drug target. In RTKs, homeostatic receptor signaling is dependent on autoinhibition in the absence of ligand binding and orchestrated set of conformational changes induced by ligand-mediated receptor dimerization that result in activation of the intracellular kinase domains. A fundamental understanding of these mechanisms in the MET receptor remains incomplete, despite decades of research. This is due in part to the complex structure of the HGF ligand, which remains unknown in its full-length form, and a lack of high-resolution structures of the complete MET extracellular portion in an apo or ligand-bound state. A current view of HGF-dependent MET activation has evolved from biochemical and structural studies of HGF and MET fragments and here we review what these findings have thus far revealed.

Abstract
Non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) is a broad term that refers to a diverse group of tumors, each with its own distinct biologic and therapeutic profile. The management of nccRCCs is often based on extrapolating data from clinical trials in the more common clear cell renal cell carcinoma, but our emerging prospective and retrospective clinical experience in nccRCC allows us to make more precise recommendations tailored to each histology. The systemic therapy options for metastatic nccRCC include targeted therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and, for specific rare subtypes, cytotoxic chemotherapy. Each nccRCC histology may respond differently to these regimens, which makes accurate pathologic diagnosis imperative. In the present review, we discuss the available clinical and biological data that can help guide systemic therapy recommendations for specific nccRCC subtypes.

Abstract
Met gene amplification has been found in a subset of malignant carcinomas, including diffuse-type gastric carcinoma (DGC), which has a poor prognosis owing to rapid infiltrative invasion and frequent peritoneal dissemination. Met is considered a promising therapeutic target for DGC. However, DGC cells with Met gene amplification eventually acquire resistance to Met inhibitors. Therefore, identification of alternate targets that mediate Met signaling and confer malignant phenotypes is critical. In this study, we conducted a phosphoproteomic analysis of DGC cells possessing Met gene amplification and identified Pleckstrin Homology Domain Containing A5 (PLEKHA5) as a protein that is tyrosine-phosphorylated downstream of Met. Knockdown of PLEKHA5 selectively suppressed the growth of DGC cells with Met gene amplification by inducing apoptosis, even though they had acquired resistance to Met inhibitors. Moreover, PLEKHA5 silencing abrogated the malignant phenotypes of Met-addicted DGC cells, including peritoneal dissemination in vivo. Mechanistically, PLEKHA5 knockdown dysregulates glycolytic metabolism, leading to activation of the JNK pathway that promotes apoptosis. These results indicate that PLEKHA5 is a novel downstream effector of amplified Met and is required for the malignant progression of Met-addicted DGC.

Abstract
Treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has radically improved in the last years due to development and clinical approval of highly effective agents including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and oncogene-directed therapies. Molecular profiling of lung cancer samples for activated oncogenes, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1) and BRAF, is routinely performed to select the most appropriate up-front treatment. However, the identification of new therapeutic targets remains a high priority. Recently, MET exon 14 skipping mutations have emerged as novel actionable oncogenic alterations in NSCLC, sensitive to MET inhibition. In this review we discuss: (I) MET gene and MET receptor structure and signaling pathway; (II) MET exon 14 alterations; (III) current data on MET inhibitors, mainly focusing on selective MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), in the treatment of NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping mutations. We identified the references for this review through a literature search of papers about MET, MET exon 14 skipping mutations, and MET inhibitors, published up to September 2020, by using PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases. We also searched on websites of main international cancer congresses (ASCO, ESMO, IASLC) for ongoing studies presented as abstracts. MET exon 14 skipping mutations have been associated with clinical activity of selective MET inhibitors, including capmatinib, that has recently received approval by FDA for clinical use in this subgroup of NSCLC patients. A large number of trials are testing MET inhibitors, also in combinatorial therapeutic strategies, in MET exon 14-altered NSCLC. Results from these trials are eagerly awaited to definitively establish the role and setting for use of these agents in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
The tyrosine kinase receptor mesenchymal epithelial transition (MET) is a proto-oncogene that, through the activation of the MET-hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) pathway, encodes a variety of biological processes, including cell development, proliferation, invasion, and migration. Abnormal activation of the MET pathway, occurring through MET protein overexpression, and gene amplification or mutation, can contribute to oncogenesis and has been implicated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Though it is associated with poor clinical outcome in NSCLCs, MET overexpression and its role as a therapeutic target remains somewhat elusive due to discrepancies in its occurrence. Unlike MET overexpression, MET amplification has demonstrated a stronger potential as a biomarker for therapeutic treatment, with clinical data indicating a compelling connection between a high MET gene copy number and a high response rate to targeted therapies. However, MET exon 14 skipping mutations, occurring in 3%-4 % of lung adenocarcinomas, are of particular interest, as tumors harboring these mutations have shown a significant response to MET inhibitors. Following the discovery of MET as a potential therapeutic target, extensive clinical studies have proposed three approaches to targeting MET: (1) MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including crizotinib, capmatinib, tepotinib, savolinitib, and cabozantinib; (2) MET or HGF monoclonal antibodies, including emibetuzumab and ficlatuzumab; and (3) MET or HGF antibody drug conjugates, including telisotuzumab. Herein, we discuss the relevant clinical trials, particularly focusing on the efficacy as well as the safety and tolerability of the treatment options, in the promising field of targeting MET in NSCLC.

Abstract
Due to groundbreaking developments and continuous progress, the treatment of advanced and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has become an exciting, but increasingly challenging task. This applies, in particular, to the subgroup of NSCLC with oncogenic driver alterations. While the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged NSCLC with various tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is well-established, new targets have been identified in the last few years and new TKIs introduced in clinical practice. Even for KRAS mutations, considered for a long time as an "un-targetable" alteration, promising new drugs are emerging. The detection and in-depth molecular analysis of resistance mechanisms has further fueled the development of new therapeutic strategies. The objective of this review is to give a comprehensive overview on the current landscape of targetable oncogenic alterations in NSCLC.

Abstract
Cancer continues to be the second leading cause of death worldwide. Discovery of novel therapeutic agents has crucial importance for improvement of our medical management capabilities. Dysregulation of the MET receptor tyrosine kinase pathway plays an important role in cancer progression, making this receptor an attractive molecular target for anticancer drug discovery. In this study, twenty-seven 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one C5 amide derivatives were synthesized and their cancer cell growth inhibitory activity was examined against MCF-7, HT-29 and MOLT-4 cells and also NIH/3T3 non-cancer cells by MTT assay. The antiproliferative effect of the most potent derivatives were tested against MET-dependent EBC-1 and MKN-45, lung and gastric cancer cell lines, respectively. MET kinase inhibition was measured by a Homogenous Time Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) Assay. The influence of the test compounds on cell cycle was examined by RNase/PI flow cytometric assay. A number of compounds exhibited considerable antiproliferative effects against breast and colon cancer and leukemia cell lines, relatively sparing non-cancer cells. Some derivatives bearing benzothiazolyl carboxamide moiety at C5 position (15, 21, 23, 31, and 37) showed the highest activities with IC50 values as low as 10.9 μM. These compounds showed antiproliferative effects also against MET-amplified cells and dose-dependently inhibited MET kinase activity. They also induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest at lower doses and apoptosis at higher doses. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies confirmed the interaction of compound 23 with the active site of the MET receptor. These findings demonstrate that 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one analogues may represent promising targeted anticancer agents.

Abstract
Capmatinib is a MET tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that has recently been approved for the treatment of advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) positive for skipping mutations of MET exon 14 (METex14). Drug‐induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a relatively rare, but potentially serious, side effect of TKIs administered for lung cancer treatment. Here we report a case of capmatinib‐induced ILD in a patient with NSCLC harboring a METex14 skipping mutation. Capmatinib should be immediately discontinued if ILD is suspected, and treatment with corticosteroid should be considered.

Abstract
MET inhibitors have shown activity in non‐small‐cell lung cancer patients (NSCLC) with MET amplification and exon 14 skipping (METΔex14). However, patient stratification is imperfect, and thus, response rates have varied widely. Here, we studied MET alterations in 474 advanced NSCLC patients by nCounter, an RNA‐based technique, together with next‐generation sequencing (NGS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR), exploring correlation with clinical benefit. Of the 474 samples analyzed, 422 (89%) yielded valid results by nCounter, which identified 13 patients (3%) with METΔex14 and 15 patients (3.5%) with very‐high MET mRNA expression. These two subgroups were mutually exclusive, displayed distinct phenotypes and did not generally coexist with other drivers. For METΔex14, 3/8 (37.5%) samples positive by nCounter tested negative by NGS. Regarding patients with very‐high MET mRNA, 92% had MET amplification by FISH and/or NGS. However, FISH failed to identify three patients (30%) with very‐high MET RNA expression, among which one received MET tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment deriving clinical benefit. Our results indicate that quantitative mRNA‐based techniques can improve the selection of patients for MET‐targeted therapies.

Abstract
Past failures in clinical trials have dampened the enthusiasm for studying the HGF receptor MET and postponed the development of MET-targeted drugs for cancer therapy. However, new evidence suggests that, at least in liver cancer, MET is still a promising therapeutic target, and may also be a potential target for cancer vaccines. This paper briefly highlights novel research advances in this rapidly-evolving field in the perspective of autophagy, and discusses future directions for further investigation of MET-based cancer therapy and vaccination.
