Abstract
Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide, often resulting from uncontrolled growth in various organs. Protein kinase inhibitors represent an important class of targeted cancer therapies. Recently, the kinases BRAF and VEGFR-2 have shown synergistic effects on tumor progression. Seeking to develop dual BRAF/VEGFR-2 inhibitors, we synthesized 18 amino-benzothiazole derivatives with structural similarities to reported dual inhibitors. Four compounds-4a, 4f, 4l, and 4r-demonstrated remarkable cytotoxicity, with IC50 values ranging from 3.58 to 15.36 μM, against three cancer cell lines. Furthermore, these compounds showed IC50 values of 38.77-66.22 μM in the case of a normal cell line, which was significantly safer than the reference, sorafenib. Subsequent investigation revealed that compound 4f exhibited the capacity to inhibit the BRAF and VEGFR-2 enzymes, with IC50 values similar to sorafenib (0.071 and 0.194 μM, respectively). Moreover, compound 4f caused G2-M- and S-phase cycle arrest. Molecular modeling demonstrated binding patterns compatible with inhibition for both targets, where 4f exerted the critical interactions in the BRAF site and interacted in the VEGFR-2 site in a manner akin to sorafenib, demonstrating affinity similar to dabrafenib.

Chompunud Na Ayudhya C, Graidist P, Tipmanee V. Role of CSF1R 550th-tryptophan in kusunokinin and CSF1R inhibitor binding and ligand-induced structural effect. Sci Rep 2024; 14:12531. [PMID: 38822100 PMCID: PMC11143223 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-63505-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Binding affinity is an important factor in drug design to improve drug-target selectivity and specificity. In this study, in silico techniques based on molecular docking followed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were utilized to identify the key residue(s) for CSF1R binding affinity among 14 pan-tyrosine kinase inhibitors and 15 CSF1R-specific inhibitors. We found tryptophan at position 550 (W550) on the CSF1R binding site interacted with the inhibitors' aromatic ring in a π-π way that made the ligands better at binding. Upon W550-Alanine substitution (W550A), the binding affinity of trans-(-)-kusunokinin and imatinib to CSF1R was significantly decreased. However, in terms of structural features, W550 did not significantly affect overall CSF1R structure, but provided destabilizing effect upon mutation. The W550A also did not either cause ligand to change its binding site or conformational changes due to ligand binding. As a result of our findings, the π-π interaction with W550's aromatic ring could be still the choice for increasing binding affinity to CSF1R. Nevertheless, our study showed that the increasing binding to W550 of the design ligand may not ensure CSF1R specificity and inhibition since W550-ligand bound state did not induce significantly conformational change into inactive state.

Abstract
The development of Src homology-2 domain containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) inhibitors is a hot spot in the research and development of antitumor drugs, which may induce immunomodulatory effects in the tumor microenvironment and participate in anti-tumor immune responses. To date, several SHP2 inhibitors have made remarkable progress and entered clinical trials for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. Multiple compounds derived from natural products have been proved to influence tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and other cellular functions, modulate cell cycle and immune cell activation by regulating the function of SHP2 and its mutants. However, there is a paucity of information about their diversity, biochemistry, and therapeutic potential of targeting SHP2 in tumors. This review will provide the structure, classification, inhibitory activities, experimental models, and antitumor effects of the natural products. Notably, this review summarizes recent advance in the efficacy and pharmacological mechanism of natural products targeting SHP2 in inhibiting the various signaling pathways that regulate different cancers and thus pave the way for further development of anticancer drugs targeting SHP2.

Abstract
Tyrosinase (TYR) inhibitors are very significant as they inhibit enzyme tyrosinase activity, and its inhibition is vital for skin care, anticancer medication, and antibrowning of fruits and vegetables. This work presents a novel and economical route for the preparation of new synthetic tyrosinase inhibitors using amlodipine (4). The novel conjugates 6 (a-o) were designed, synthesized, and characterized by spectroscopic analyses, including Fourier transform infrared and low- and high-resolution mass spectroscopy. The purified compound 4 was refluxed with various aldehydes and ketones 5 (a-o) for 5-8 h in methanol at 60°C-90°C. This research modified the drug in a step-by-step manner to develop therapeutic properties as a tyrosinase inhibitor. The structures of synthesized ligands 6 (a-o) were established based on spectral and analytical data. The synthesized compounds 6 (a-o) were screened against tyrosinase enzyme. Kojic acid was taken as standard. All the prepared compounds 6 (a-o) have good inhibition potential against the enzyme tyrosinase. Compounds 6o, 6b, 6f, and 6k depicted excellent antityrosinase activity. Compound 6k, with an IC50 value of 5.34 ± 0.58 µM, is as potent as the standard kojic acid (IC50 6.04 ± 0.11 µM), standing out among all synthesized compounds 6 (a-o). The in silico studies of the conjugates 6 (a-o) were evaluated via PatchDock. Compound 6k showed a binding affinity score of 8,999 and an atomic contact energy (ACE) value of -219.66 kcal/mol. The structure-activity relationship illustrated that the presence of dihydropyridine nuclei and some activating groups at the ortho and para positions of the benzylideneimine moiety is the main factor for good tyrosinase activity. The compound 6k could be used as a lead compound for drug modification as a tyrosinase inhibitor for skin care, anticancer medication, and antibrowning for fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
Precision oncology and pharmacogenomics (PGx) intersect in their overarching goal to institute the right treatment for the right patient. However, the translation of these innovations into clinical practice is still lagging behind. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the current state of research and to predict the future directions of applied PGx in the field of precision oncology as represented by the targeted therapy class of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Advanced bibliometric and scientometric analyses of the literature were performed. The Scopus database was used for the search, and articles published between 2001 and 2023 were extracted. Information about productivity, citations, cluster analysis, keyword co-occurrence, trend topics, and thematic evolution were generated. A total of 448 research articles were included in this analysis. A burst of scholarly activity in the field was noted by the year 2005, peaking in 2017, followed by a remarkable decline to date. Research in the field was hallmarked by consistent and impactful international collaboration, with the US leading in terms of most prolific country, institutions, and total link strength. Thematic evolution in the field points in the direction of more specialized studies on applied pharmacokinetics of available and novel TKIs, particularly for the treatment of lung and breast cancers. Our results delineate a significant advancement in the field of PGx in precision oncology. Notwithstanding the practical challenges to these applications at the point of care, further research, standardization, infrastructure development, and informed policymaking are urgently needed to ensure widespread adoption of PGx.

Abstract
The most prevalent malignant illness of the gastrointestinal system, colorectal cancer, is the third most prevalent cancer in males and the second most prevalent cancer in women. Importin-11 is a protein that acts as a regulator of cancer cell proliferation in colorectal tumours by conveying β -catenin to the cell nucleus. However, the IPO11 gene was found to encode a protein called Importin-11, which functions as a nucleus importer for the cell. As a result, preventing β -catenin from entering the nucleus requires blocking Importin-11. As a result, we conducted a multi-omics investigation to assess IPO11 gene potential as a therapeutic biomarker for human colorectal cancer (CC). Oncomine, GEPIA2, immunohisto-chemistry, and UALCAN databases were used to analyses the mRNA expression profiles of IPO11 in CC. The investigation has yielded clear evidence of the increase of IPO11 expression in CC subtypes, as indicated by the data acquired. Analysing CC research from the cBioPortal database, the study discovered three new missense mutations in the importin-11 protein sequence at a frequency of 0.00-1.50% copy number changes. Additionally, the Kaplan-Meier plots demonstrated a strong connection concerning IPO11 downregulation and a poorer CC patient survival rate. The co-expressed gene profile of IPO11 was likewise associated with the onset of CC. IPO11 co-expressed gene profile was also linked to CC development. Moreover, the correlation analysis using bc-GenExMiner and the UCSC Xena server identified KIF2A as the most positively co-expressed gene. The study found that KIF2A and its co-expressed genes were involved in a wide variety of cancer progression pathways using the Enrichr database. Cumulatively, this result will not only provide new information about the expression of IPO11 associated with CC progression and patient survival, but could also serve as a therapeutic biomarker for treating CC in a significant and worthwhile manner.

Abstract
The liver function test is an imperative element in chemotherapy management due to the idiosyncratic reaction of chemotherapy drugs. This study primly aimed to replace the toxic fragments of known protein tyrosine kinases inhibitors (PTKi) to develop safe and effective chemotherapy. All the current PTKi's were docked with the tyrosine kinases and metabolic enzymes to study the affinities on the target. It resulted from most of the PTKi's found higher affinity and efficacy with metabolic enzymes lead the hepatic cells damage. To overcome this limitation of PTKi's, a bioisosteric replacement strategy was achieved and conceptual analogs were designed. Specifically, the Generated pose of the Axitinib molecule showed that axitinib fragments C = C-, -C = O and NH2 produced clashes with active site residues of tyrosine kinases protein and good affinity with metabolic enzyme primes to the liver toxicity. The above said fragments were replaced with various bioisosteric groups and efficacy was measured. The resulting molecule shows improved affinity with tyrosine kinases enzyme and less interactions with metabolic enzyme were imminent molecule for the treatment of malignant cells with outside effects.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Cancer treatments have recently shifted from broad-spectrum cytotoxic therapies to more focused treatments, maximizing anti-cancerous activity while reducing toxicity to healthy cells. These modern anticancer therapies (MATs) encompass a wide range of innovative molecules that mainly include immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and targeted anticancer therapies (TATs), comprising antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) and inhibitors of signal transduction (IST). Some MATs are associated with ocular surface (OS) adverse events (AEs) that can cause severe discomfort and even lead to loss of vision. While these complications remain rare, they're probably underreported. It is likely that both oncologists and ophthalmologists will come across MATs-associated OS-AEs in their practices, due to the increasing number of patients being treated with MATs. Rapid identification of OS-AEs is crucial, as early intervention can manage these conditions to avoid vision loss and reduce negative impacts on quality of life (QoL). We discuss characteristics of OS pathologies attributed to MATs, describe the suspected underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, and outline the main lines of treatment.

Abstract
Targeted cancer therapies have revolutionized the treatment of the disease in the past decade. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) class of drugs is a widely used option for treating various cancers. Despite numerous advances, clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated the atherosclerosis-inducing properties of these drugs that can cause adverse cardiovascular events. TKIs also have an atherosclerosis-preventing role in patients with cancer through different mechanisms under various conditions, suggesting that specific drugs play different roles in atherosclerosis regulation. Given these contradictory properties, this review summarizes the outcomes of previously performed clinical and basic experiments and shows how the targeted effects of novel TKIs affect atherosclerosis. Future collaborative efforts are warranted to enhance our understanding of the association between TKIs and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
This study discusses the development and validation of a universal microwell spectrophotometric assay for TKIs, regardless of the diversity in their chemical structures. The assay depends on directly measuring the native ultraviolet light (UV) absorption of TKIs. The assay was carried out using UV-transparent 96-microwell plates and the absorbance signals were measured by a microplate reader at 230 nm, at which all TKIs had light absorption. Beer's law correlating the absorbances of TKIs with their corresponding concentrations was obeyed in the range of 2-160 µg mL-1 with excellent correlation coefficients (0.9991-0.9997). The limits of detection and limits quantitation were in the ranges of 0.56-5.21 and 1.69-15.78 µg mL-1, respectively. The proposed assay showed high precision as the values of the relative standard deviations for the intra- and inter-assay precisions did not exceed 2.03 and 2.14%, respectively. The accuracy of the assay was proven as the recovery values were in the range of 97.8-102.9% (±0.8-2.4%). The proposed assay was successfully applied to the quantitation of all TKIs in their pharmaceutical formulations (tablets) with reliable results in terms of high accuracy and precision. The assay greenness was evaluated, and the results proved that the assay fulfils the requirements of green analytical approach. The proposed assay is the first assay that can analyse all TKIs on a single assay system without chemical derivatization or modifications in the detection wavelength. In addition, the simple and simultaneous handling of a large number of samples as a batch using micro-volumes of samples gave the assay the advantage of high throughput analysis, which is a serious demand in the pharmaceutical industry.

Spectrophotometric Investigations of Charge Transfer Complexes of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors with Iodine as a σ-Electron Acceptor: Application to Development of Universal High-Throughput Microwell Assay for Their Determination in Pharmaceutical Formulations. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59040775. [PMID: 37109733 PMCID: PMC10143458 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59040775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objective: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are used for the treatment of different types of cancers. The current study describes, for the first time, the ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometric investigation of charge transfer complexes (CTCs) of seven TKIs, as electron donors, and iodine, as σ-electron. Materials and Methods: The formation of CTCs was promoted in dichloromethane, among the other solvents used in the investigation. The molar absorptivity values, association constants, and free energy changes of the CTCs were determined. Stoichiometric ratio of TKI: iodine as well as TKIs site(s) of interaction were addressed. Reaction was the basis for constructing a novel simple and accurate 96-microwell spectrophotometric assay (MW-SPA) with high-throughput property for the quantitative determination of TKIs in their pharmaceutical formulations. Results: Beer's law, which relates CTC absorbances to TKI concentrations, was followed within the optimal range of 2 to 100 µg/well (r ranged from 0.9991 to 0.9998). Detection and quantification limits ranged from 0.91 to 3.60 and 2.76 to 10.92 g µmL-1, respectively. Relative standard deviations values for the intra- and inter-assay precisions of the proposed MW-SPA did not exceed 2.13 and 2.34%, respectively. Studies of recovery demonstrated MW-SPA accuracy, with results ranging from 98.9% to 102.4%. All TKIs, both in bulk form and in pharmaceutical formulations (tablets), were effectively determined using the suggested MW-SPA. Conclusions: The current MW-SPA involved a simple procedure and it was convenient as it could analyse all proposed TKIs utilizing a single assay system at once measuring wavelengths for all TKIs. In addition, the proposed MW-SPA has high throughput which enables the processing of a batch of huge samples' number in very short reasonable time period. In conclusion, TKIs can be routinely analysed in their dosage forms in quality control laboratories, and the assay can be highly valuable and helpful in this regard.

Abstract
In recent decades, the development of targeted drugs has featured prominently in the treatment of cancer, which is among the major causes of mortality globally. Triazole-fused pyrimidines, a widely-used class of heterocycles in medicinal chemistry, have attracted considerable interest as potential anticancer agents that target various cancer-associated targets in recent years, demonstrating them as valuable templates for discovering novel anticancer candidates. The current review concentrates on the latest advancements of triazole-pyrimidines as target-based anticancer agents, including works published between 2007 and the present (2007-2022). The structure-activity relationships (SARs) and multiple pathways are also reviewed to shed light on the development of more effective and biotargeted anticancer candidates.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are effective drug molecules for the treatment of various cancers. Nanomedicinal interventions and approaches may not only provide carrying capacities for TKIs but also potentially target tumor-specific environments and even cellular compartments. Nano-inspired drug delivery systems may hence enhance the efficacy of the drugs through enhanced tumour-availability resulting in greater efficacy and decreased side effects. A variety of nanosystems have been developed for the delivery of TKIs for the enhanced treatment of cancers, each with their own preparation methods and physicochemical properties. This review will therefore discuss the applicability of nano-interventions towards combination therapies, dose reduction, and greater potential treatment outcomes. The individual nanosystems have been highlighted with emphasis on the developed systems and their efficacy against various cancer cell lines and models.

Abstract
Objectives: Tumours remain a serious threat to human life. Following rapid progress in oncology research, tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been used to treat multiple tumour types. Given the great influence of kidneys on pharmacokinetics, renal toxicities associated with TKIs have attracted attention. However, the TKIs with the lowest risks of renal impairment are unclear. In this study, we conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis to compare the incidence of renal impairment among different TKIs in patients with tumours. Methods and analysis: Six databases (PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and China Biomedical Literature Database) were electronically searched from inception to 1 November 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials on the incidence of renal impairment for different TKIs in patients with tumours. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Then, a pairwise meta-analysis was conducted using Stata version 13, and network meta-analysis within the Bayesian framework was conducted using R software version 3.5.3 with the package "gemtc 0.8-2" recalling JAGS (version 4.3.0). Results: Overall, 34 randomized controlled trials were included in this study. Although renal toxicity was common among patients receiving TKIs, the incidence and severity greatly differed among the drugs and studies. Elevated creatinine and protein levels were the most common nephrotoxic events, whereas haematuria was relatively rare. Among TKIs, nintedanib and ripretinib carried the lowest risks of renal impairment. Conclusion: TKIs displayed different profiles of renal toxicity because of their different targets and underlying mechanisms. Clinicians should be aware of the risks of renal impairment to select the optimal treatment and improve patient adherence to treatment.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors that target vascular endothelial growth factor receptor [VEGFR-TKI] are a class of targeted therapies approved for treatment of several malignancies and are increasingly used in the pediatric population. Development of hypothyroidism during VEGFR-TKI therapy is well described in adults; however, there are no available data in children. Importantly, hypothyroidism during childhood can negatively impact growth and neurodevelopment. This retrospective study is the first to document frequency and severity of VEGFR-TKI induced hypothyroidism in pediatric and young adult patients. Patients included were ≤25 years of age and treated with at least one VEGFR-TKI between 2010 and 2018 at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. After review of clinical and demographic data, 69 patients were identified. Of these, 19 (27.5%) developed thyroid dysfunction defined as Thyroid-stimulating hormone≥5 mIU/mL during therapy. Twelve of those patients had overt hypothyroidism with documentation of low free thyroxine and/or levothyroxine initiation. Mean exposure time to VEGFR-TKI before thyroid dysfunction was 2.8 (0.5-10.4) months. These results suggest moderate risk of developing thyroid dysfunction during VEGFR-TKI therapy in pediatric and young adult patients. Baseline thyroid hormone screening should be performed and repeated frequently during the first year of therapy in the pediatric population.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cell neoplasm characterized by excessive production of malignant monoclonal plasma cells (activated B lymphocytes) by the bone marrow, which end up synthesizing antibodies or antibody fragments, called M proteins, in excess. The accumulation of this production, both cells themselves and of the immunoglobulins, causes a series of problems for the patient, of a systemic and local nature, such as blood hyperviscosity, renal failure, anemia, bone lesions, and infections due to compromised immunity. MM is the third most common hematological neoplasm, constituting 1% of all cancer cases, and is a disease that is difficult to treat, still being considered an incurable disease. The treatments currently available cannot cure the patient, but only extend their lifespan, and the main and most effective alternative is autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but not every patient is eligible, often due to age and pre-existing comorbidities. In this context, the search for new therapies that can bring better results to patients is of utmost importance. Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) are involved in several biological processes, such as cell growth regulation and proliferation, thus, mutations that affect their functionality can have a great impact on crucial molecular pathways in the cells, leading to tumorigenesis. In the past couple of decades, the use of small-molecule inhibitors, which include tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), has been a hallmark in the treatment of hematological malignancies, and MM patients may also benefit from TKI-based treatment strategies. In this review, we seek to understand the applicability of TKIs used in MM clinical trials in the last 10 years.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is the most frequent post-translational modification (PTM) that plays important regulatory roles in a wide range of biological processes. Phosphorylation mainly occurs on serine (Ser), threonine (Thr), and tyrosine (Tyr) residues, with the phosphorylated Tyr sites accounting for ~1–2% of all phosphorylated residues. Tyr phosphorylation was initially believed to be less common in plants compared to animals; however, recent investigation indicates otherwise. Although they lack typical protein Tyr kinases, plants possess many dual-specificity protein kinases that were implicated in diverse cellular processes by phosphorylating Ser, Thr, and Tyr residues. Analyses of sequenced plant genomes also identified protein Tyr phosphatases and dual-specificity protein phosphatases. Recent studies have revealed important regulatory roles of Tyr phosphorylation in many different aspects of plant growth and development and plant interactions with the environment. This short review summarizes studies that implicated the Tyr phosphorylation in biosynthesis and signaling of plant hormones.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase (TK) is an important protein responsible for phosphorylation of variety of proteins that helps in signal transduction process in transferring signal to regulate various physiological and biochemical processes. Drugs inhibiting signal transduction pathways can be a very rational approach to inhibit cellular physiological and biochemical process. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are a wide family of drugs that have been used successfully in cancer chemotherapy. Certain mutations around the catalytic cleft may cause conformational changes at binding site and leads to decrease in inhibitor sensitivity to TK mutants. EGFRT790M mutation is the first recognized acquired resistance after tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy that leads to resistant to first generation TKI in about 50% of non-small cell lung carcinoma patients. Third generation EGFR-TKIs bind irreversibly to the C797, which is present in the ATP-binding pocket. The present work provides a molecular mechanism for understanding the Gefitinib and Osimertinib sensitivities with the EGFRWILD, EGFRL858R, EGFRT790M, EGFRT790M+C797S mutants using molecular modelling techniques. Changes in response against Gefitinib and Osimertinib were observed with the change of amino acids at the tyrosine kinase domain of EGFRWILD and its mutants (EGFRL858R, EGFRT790M, EGFRT790M+C797S). RMSD, RMSF and binding energies calculation well correlates with the change in clinical observation.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Background There is currently no method to predict tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) -induced hepatotoxicity. The purpose of this study was to propose a risk scoring system for hepatotoxicity induced within one year of TKI administration using machine learning methods. Methods This retrospective, multi-center study analyzed individual data of patients administered different types of TKIs (crizotinib, erlotinib, gefitinib, imatinib, and lapatinib) selected in five previous studies. The odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio from univariate and multivariate analyses were calculated using a chi-squared test and logistic regression model. Machine learning methods, including five-fold cross-validated multivariate logistic regression, elastic net, and random forest were utilized to predict risk factors for the occurrence of hepatotoxicity. A risk scoring system was developed from the multivariate and machine learning analyses. Results Data from 703 patients with grade II or higher hepatotoxicity within one year of TKI administration were evaluated. In a multivariable analysis, male and liver metastasis increased the risk of hepatotoxicity by 1.4-fold and 2.1-fold, respectively. The use of anticancer drugs increased the risk of hepatotoxicity by 6.0-fold. Patients administered H2 blockers or PPIs had a 1.5-fold increased risk of hepatotoxicity. The area under the receiver-operating curve (AUROC) values of machine learning methods ranged between 0.73-0.75. Based on multivariate and machine learning analyses, male (1 point), use of H2 blocker or PPI (1 point), presence of liver metastasis (2 points), and use of anticancer drugs (4 points) were integrated into the risk scoring system. From a training set, patients with 0, 1, 2-3, 4-7 point showed approximately 9.8%, 16.6%, 29.0% and 61.5% of risk of hepatotoxicity, respectively. The AUROC of the scoring system was 0.755 (95% CI, 0.706-0.804). Conclusion Our scoring system may be helpful for patient assessment and clinical decisions when administering TKIs included in this study.

Abstract
With the development of anti-tumor drugs, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are an indispensable part of targeted therapy. They can be superior to traditional chemotherapeutic drugs in selectivity, safety, and efficacy. However, they have been found to be associated with serious adverse effects in use, such as myocardial infarction, fluid retention, hypertension, and rash. Although TKIs induced arrhythmia with a lower incidence than other cardiovascular diseases, much clinical evidence indicated that adequate attention and management should be provided to patients. This review focuses on QT interval prolongation and atrial fibrillation (AF) which are conveniently monitored in clinical practice. We collected data about TKIs, and analyzed the molecule mechanism, discussed the actual clinical evidence and drug-drug interaction, and provided countermeasures to QT interval prolongation and AF. We also pooled data to show that both QT prolongation and AF are related to their multi-target effects. Furthermore, more than 30 TKIs were approved by the FDA, but most of the novel drugs had a small sample size in the preclinical trial and risk/benefit assessments were not perfect, which led to a suspension after listing, like nilotinib. Similarly, vandetanib exhibits the most significant QT prolongation and ibrutinib exhibits the highest incidence in AF, but does not receive enough attention during treatment.

Abstract
Encoded by PTPN11, the SHP2 (Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2) is widely recognized as a carcinogenic phosphatase. As a promising anti-cancer drug target, SHP2 regulates many signaling pathways such as RAS-RAF-ERK, PI3K-AKT and JAK-STAT. Meanwhile, SHP2 plays a significant role in regulating immune cell function in the tumor microenvironment. Heretofore, five SHP2 allosteric inhibitors have been recruited in clinical studies for the treatment of cancer. Most recently, studies have proved the therapeutic potential of SHP2 inhibitor in overcoming drug resistance of kinase inhibitors and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) blockade. Herein, we review the structure, function and small molecular inhibitors of SHP2, and highlight recent progress in overcoming drug resistance using SHP2 inhibitor. We hope this review would facilitate the future clinical development of SHP2 inhibitors.

Abstract
The fundamental pathophysiology of malignancies is dysregulation of the signalling pathways. Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) are among the enzymes which, if mutated, play a critical role in carcinogenesis. The best-studied rearrangement, which enhances PTK activity and causes atypical proliferation, is BCR-ABL1. Abnormal expression of PTKs has proven to play a significant role in the development of various malignancies, such as chronic myelogenous leukaemia, brain tumours, neuroblastoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumours. The use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is an outstanding example of successful target therapy. TKIs have been effectively applied in the adult oncology setting, but there is a need to establish TKIs’ importance in paediatric patients. Many years of research have allowed a significant improvement in the outcome of childhood cancers. However, there are still groups of patients who have a poor prognosis, where the intensification of chemotherapy could even cause death. TKIs are designed to target specific PTKs, which lead to the limitation of severe adverse effects and increase overall survival. These advances will hopefully allow new therapeutic approaches in paediatric haemato-oncology to emerge. In this review, we present an analysis of the current data on tyrosine kinase inhibitors in childhood cancers.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the common and fatal malignancies, which is a significant global health problem. The clinical applicability of traditional surgery and other locoregional therapies is limited, and these therapeutic strategies are far from satisfactory in improving the outcomes of advanced HCC. In the past decade, targeted therapy had made a ground-breaking progress in advanced HCC. Those targeted therapies exert antitumor effects through specific signals, including anti-angiogenesis or cell cycle progression. As a standard systemic therapy option, it tremendously improves the survival of this devastating disease. Moreover, the combination of targeted therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) has demonstrated more potent anticancer effects and becomes the hot topic in clinical studies. The combining medications bring about a paradigm shift in the treatment of advanced HCC. In this review, we presented all approved targeted agents for advanced HCC with an emphasis on their clinical efficacy, summarized the advances of multi-target drugs in research for HCC and potential therapeutic targets for drug development. We also discussed the exciting results of the combination between targeted therapy and ICI.

Abstract
Low-molecular weight chemical compounds have a longstanding history as drugs. Target specificity and binding efficiency represent major obstacles for small molecules to become clinically relevant. Protein kinases are attractive cellular targets; however, they are challenging because they present one of the largest protein families and share structural similarities. Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase, has received much attention as a promising target for the treatment of B-cell malignancies and more recently autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Here we describe the structural properties and binding modes of small-molecule BTK inhibitors, including irreversible and reversible inhibitors. Covalently binding compounds, such as ibrutinib, acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib, are discussed along with non-covalent inhibitors fenebrutinib and RN486. The focus of this review is on structure-function relationships.

Abstract
The tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are chemotherapeutic drugs used for targeted therapy of various types of cancer. In literature, there is no existing universal chromogenic reagent used for development of spectrophotometric assay for all TKIs regardless the diversity of their chemical structures. This work discusses, for the first time, the experimental and computational evaluation of chloranilic acid (CLA) as a universal chromogenic reagent for developing a novel 96-microwell spectrophotometric assay (MW-SPA) for TKIs. The reaction of CLA with seven TKIs was examined in different organic solvents of various dielectric constants and polarity indexes. The reaction resulted in an instantaneous formation of intensely purple coloured products with all the investigated TKIs. Spectrophotometric investigations confirmed that the reactions proceeded via the formation of charge-transfer complexes (CTC). The physical parameters (molar absorptivity, molar ratio, association constant and standard free energy) were determined for the CTC of all TKIs. Computational calculations for the relative electron densities on each atom of the TKI molecule and molecular modelling for the CTC were conducted, and the site(s) of interaction on each TKI molecule were determined. Under the optimized conditions, Beer's law correlating the absorbances of the CTC with the concentrations of TKIs were obeyed in the range of 5-500 µg/well with good correlation coefficients (0.9991-0.9998). The limits of detection and quantitation were in the ranges of 1.89-5.09 and 5.74-15.42 µg/well, respectively. The proposed MW-SPA showed high precisions as the values of the relative standard deviations did not exceed 2.01 and 2.45% for the intra- and inter-assay precision, respectively. The accuracy of MW-SPA was proved by recovery studies as the recovery values were in the range of 98.8-103.7%. The proposed MW-SPA was successfully applied for the determination of all TKIs in their bulk forms and pharmaceutical formulations (tablets) with good accuracy and precisions. The proposed MW-SPA is the first assay that can analyse all the TKIs on a single assay system without modifications in the detection wavelength. Additional advantages of the proposed MW-SPA are simple, economic, and more importantly have high throughput. Therefore, the assay can be helpful and beneficial for routine analysis of TKIs in their pharmaceutical formulations in quality control laboratories.

Abstract
A high incidence of cancer has given rise to the development of more anti-tumor drugs. From 2015 to 2020, fifty-six new small-molecule anticancer drugs, divided into ten categories according to their anti-tumor target activities, have been approved. These include TKIs (30 drugs), MAPK inhibitors (3 drugs), CDK inhibitors (3 drugs), PARP inhibitors (3 drugs), PI3K inhibitors (3 drugs), SMO receptor antagonists (2 drugs), AR antagonists (2 drugs), SSTR inhibitors (2 drugs), IDH inhibitors (2 drugs) and others (6 drugs). Among them, PTK inhibitors (30/56) have led to a paradigm shift in cancer treatment with less toxicity and more potency. Each of their structures, approval statuses, applications, SAR analyses, and original research synthesis routes have been summarized, giving us a more comprehensive map for further efforts to design more specific targeted agents for reducing cancer in the future. We believe this review will help further research of potential antitumor agents in clinical usage.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease of periodontal tissue, mostly concentrated in people over 30 years old. Statistics show that compared with foreign countries, the prevalence of periodontitis in China is as high as 40%, and the prevalence of periodontal disease is more than 90%, which must arouse our great attention. Diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis currently rely mainly on clinical criteria, and the exploration of the etiologic criteria is relatively lacking. We, therefore, have explored the pathogenesis of periodontitis from the perspective of immune imbalance. By predicting the fraction of 22 immune cells in periodontitis tissues and comparing them with normal tissues, we found that multiple immune cell infiltration in periodontitis tissues was inhibited and this feature can clearly distinguish periodontitis from normal tissues. Further, protein interaction network (PPI) and transcription regulation network have been constructed based on differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to explore the interaction function modules and regulation pathways. Three functional modules have been revealed and top TFs such as EGR1 and ETS1 have been shown to regulate the expression of periodontitis-related immune genes that play an important role in the formation of the immunosuppressive microenvironment. The classifier was also used to verify the reliability of periodontitis features obtained at the cellular and molecular levels. In conclusion, we have revealed the immune microenvironment and molecular characteristics of periodontitis, which will help to better understand the mechanism of periodontitis and its application in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

The reaction resulted in an instantaneous formation of intensely purple colored products with TKIs. Spectrophotometric results confirmed that the reactions proceeded via the formation of charge-transfer complexes (CTCs). The physical parameters were determined for the CTCs of all TKIs. Computational calculations and molecular modelling for the CTCs were conducted, and the site(s) of interaction on each TKI molecule were determined. Under the optimized conditions, Beer's law correlating the absorbances of the CTCs with the concentrations of TKIs were obeyed in the range of 10-500 µg/well with good correlation coefficients (0.9993-0.9998). The proposed MW-SPA fully validated and successfully applied for the determination of all TKIs in their bulk forms and pharmaceutical formulations (tablets). The proposed MW-SPA is the first assay that can analyze all the TKIs on a single assay system without modifications in the detection wavelength. The advantages of the proposed MW-SPA are simple, economic and, more importantly, have high throughput.

Biomol Ther (Seoul) 2021; 29:41-51. [PMID: 32690822 PMCID: PMC7771845 DOI: 10.4062/biomolther.2020.088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2020] [Revised: 06/02/2020] [Accepted: 06/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Src family kinases (SFKs), an important group of non-receptor tyrosine kinases, are suggested to be excessively activated during various types of tissue fibrosis. The present study investigated the effect of KF-1607, an orally active and a newly synthesized Src kinase inhibitor (SKI) with proposed low toxicity, in preventing the progression of renal interstitial fibrosis. Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) surgery was performed in 6-week-old male C57BL/6 mice to induce renal interstitial fibrosis. Either KF-1607 (30 mg/kg, oral gavage) or PP2 (2 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection), a common experimental SKI, was administered to mice for seven days, started one day prior to surgery. UUO injury-induced SFK expression, including Src, Fyn, and Lyn kinase. SFK inhibition by KF-1607 prevented the progression of tubular injury in UUO mice, as indicated by decreases in albuminuria, urinary KIM-1 excretion, and kidney NGAL protein expression. Renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis was attenuated in response to KF-1607, as shown by decreases in α-SMA, collagen I and IV protein expression, along with reduced Masson’s trichrome and collagen-I staining in kidneys. KF-1607 also inhibited inflammation in the UUO kidney, as exhibited by reductions in F4/80 positive-staining and protein expression of p-NFκB and ICAM. Importantly, the observed effects of KF-1607 were similar to those of PP2. A new pan Src kinase inhibitor, KF-1607, is a potential pharmaceutical agent to prevent the progression of renal interstitial fibrosis.

Abstract
Novel derivatives of the pyrazoline scaffold were synthesized and investigated for their cytotoxicity against prostate (PC-3), hepatocellular (HepG2), and breast (MDA-MB-231) carcinoma cells. The most active compounds, 4a, 4b, 5b, and 7c, revealed significant and broad-spectrum anticancer activities with IC50 values of 1.30-7.18 μM in comparison with doxorubicin (IC50 = 5.12-7.33 μM). Additionally, they exhibited lower cytotoxicity against normal WI-38 cells, indicating their high safety profiles. Aiming to enlighten the inhibitory potential on receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), compounds 4a, 4b, 5b, and 7c were assessed for their activities against four different RTKs (EGFR, FGFR2, HER2, and VEGFR2) and their apoptotic potencies on PC-3 cells. The results revealed that compounds 5b and 7c are potent dual EGFR and VEGFR2 inhibitors (IC50 = 0.21 and 0.23 μM, respectively, against EGFR; 0.22 and 0.21 μM, respectively, against VEGFR2), whereas they displayed moderate inhibitory activities against HER2 and FGFR2. Besides, compounds 4a, 4b, 5b, and 7c prompted apoptosis via the upregulation of Bax, p53, and caspase-3, together with the downregulation of the levels of Bcl-2. Also, it was found that compounds 5b and 7c are more potent as apoptosis inducers than the other tested derivatives. Furthermore, molecular docking analyses of compounds 4a, 4b, 5b, and 7c in the EGFR and VEGFR ATP binding sites were performed, to confirm the in vitro assays.

Abstract
The treatment of cancer has been one of the most significant challenges for the medical field. Further research on the signal transduction pathway of tumor cells is driving the rapid development of antitumor agents targeting tyrosine kinases. However, most of the currently approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors based on the "single target/single drug" design are becoming less and less effective in the treatment of complex, heterogeneous, and multigenic cancers; this also results in resistance to chemotherapy. In contrast, multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (MT-TKIs) can effectively block multiple pathways of intracellular signal transduction. Therefore, they have therapeutic advantages over single-targeted inhibitors and have become a hotspot in antitumor drug research in recent years. This minireview summarizes recent advances in the discovery of MT-TKIs based on their chemical structures. In particular, we describe the kinase inhibitory and antitumor activity of promising compounds, as well as their structure - activity relationships (SARs).

Abstract
Tyrosine kinases are implicated in tumorigenesis and progression, and have emerged as major targets for drug discovery. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) inhibit corresponding kinases from phosphorylating tyrosine residues of their substrates and then block the activation of downstream signaling pathways. Over the past 20 years, multiple robust and well-tolerated TKIs with single or multiple targets including EGFR, ALK, ROS1, HER2, NTRK, VEGFR, RET, MET, MEK, FGFR, PDGFR, and KIT have been developed, contributing to the realization of precision cancer medicine based on individual patient's genetic alteration features. TKIs have dramatically improved patients' survival and quality of life, and shifted treatment paradigm of various solid tumors. In this article, we summarized the developing history of TKIs for treatment of solid tumors, aiming to provide up-to-date evidence for clinical decision-making and insight for future studies.

Abstract
Recent clinical trials have shown several multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to be effective in the treatment of osteosarcoma. However, these TKIs have a number of targets, and it is yet unclear which of these targets has a key role in osteosarcoma treatment. In this review, we first summarize the TKIs that were studied in clinical trials registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. Further, we compare and discuss the targets of these TKIs. We found that TKIs with promising therapeutic effect for osteosarcoma include apatinib, cabozantinib, lenvatinib, regorafenib, and sorafenib. The key targets for osteosarcoma treatment may include VEGFRs and RET. The receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) MET, IGF-1R, AXL, PDGFRs, KIT, and FGFRs might be relevant but unimportant targets for osteosarcoma treatment. Inhibition of one type of RTK for the treatment of osteosarcoma is not effective. It is necessary to inhibit several relevant RTKs simultaneously to achieve a breakthrough in osteosarcoma treatment. This review provides comprehensive information on TKI targets relevant in osteosarcoma treatment, and it will be useful for further research in this field.

Abstract
The incidence and mortality of malignant tumors are on the rise, which has become the second leading cause of death in the world. At present, anti-tumor drugs are one of the most common methods for treating cancer. In recent years, with the in-depth study of tumor biology and related disciplines, it has been gradually discovered that the essence of cell carcinogenesis is the infinite proliferation of cells caused by the disorder of cell signal transduction pathways, followed by a major shift in the concept of anti-tumor drugs research and development. The focus of research and development is shifting from traditional cytotoxic drugs to a new generation of anti-tumor drugs targeted at abnormal signaling system targets in tumor cells. In this review, we summarize the targets of anti-tumor drugs and analyse the molecular mechanisms of their effects, which lay a foundation for subsequent treatment, research and development.

Abstract
Alterations in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) genes have been
identified as potential driver oncogenes. Pharmacological targeting of FGFRs may
therefore provide therapeutic benefit to selected cancer patients, and
proof-of-concept has been established in early clinical trials of FGFR
inhibitors. Here, we present the molecular structure and preclinical
characterization of INCB054828 (pemigatinib), a novel, selective inhibitor of
FGFR 1, 2, and 3, currently in phase 2 clinical trials. INCB054828
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were investigated using cell lines and
tumor models, and the antitumor effect of oral INCB054828 was investigated using
xenograft tumor models with genetic alterations in FGFR1, 2, or 3. Enzymatic
assays with recombinant human FGFR kinases showed potent inhibition of FGFR1, 2,
and 3 by INCB054828 (half maximal inhibitory concentration [IC50]
0.4, 0.5, and 1.0 nM, respectively) with weaker activity against FGFR4
(IC50 30 nM). INCB054828 selectively inhibited growth of tumor
cell lines with activation of FGFR signaling compared with cell lines lacking
FGFR aberrations. The preclinical pharmacokinetic profile suggests target
inhibition is achievable by INCB054828 in vivo with low oral doses. INCB054828
suppressed the growth of xenografted tumor models with FGFR1, 2, or 3
alterations as monotherapy, and the combination of INCB054828 with cisplatin
provided significant benefit over either single agent, with an acceptable
tolerability. The preclinical data presented for INCB054828, together with
preliminary clinical observations, support continued investigation in patients
with FGFR alterations, such as fusions and activating mutations.

Abstract
Src homology 2 (SH2)-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2), encoded by PTPN11, regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and survival via releasing intramolecular autoinhibition and modulating various signaling pathways, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Mutations and aberrant expression of SHP2 are implicated in human developmental disorders, leukemias and several solid tumors. As an oncoprotein in some cancers, SHP2 represents a rational target for inhibitors to interfere. Nevertheless, its tumor suppressive effect has also been uncovered, indicating the context-specificity. Even so, two types of SHP2 inhibitors including targeting catalytic pocket and allosteric sites have been developed associated with resolved cocrystal complexes. Herein, we describe its structure, biological function, deregulation in human diseases and summarize recent advance in development of SHP2 inhibitors, trying to give an insight into the therapeutic potential in future.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) includes resident and infiltrative non-tumor cells, as well as blood and lymph vessels, extracellular matrix molecules, and numerous soluble factors, such as cytokines and chemokines. While the TME is now considered to be a prognostic tool and a therapeutic target for many cancers, little is known about its composition in pituitary tumors. This review summarizes our current knowledge of the TME within pituitary tumors and the strong interest in TME as a therapeutic target. While we cover the importance of angiogenesis and immune infiltrating cells, we also address the role of the elusive folliculostellate cells, the emerging literature on pituitary tumor-associated fibroblasts, and the contribution of extracellular matrix components in these tumors. The cases of human pituitary tumors treated with TME-targeting therapies are reviewed and emerging concepts of vascular normalization and combined therapies are presented. Together, this snapshot overview of the current literature pinpoints not only the underestimated role of TME components in pituitary tumor biology, but also the major promise it may offer for both prognosis and targeted therapeutics.

Abstract
FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is expressed almost exclusively in the hematopoietic compartment. Its ligand, FLT3 ligand (FL), induces dimerization and activation of its intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. Activation of FLT3 leads to its autophosphorylation and initiation of several signal transduction cascades. Signaling is initiated by the recruitment of signal transduction molecules to activated FLT3 through binding to specific phosphorylated tyrosine residues in the intracellular region of FLT3. Activation of FLT3 mediates cell survival, cell proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. It acts in synergy with several other cytokines to promote its biological effects. Deregulated FLT3 activity has been implicated in several diseases, most prominently in acute myeloid leukemia where around one-third of patients carry an activating mutant of FLT3 which drives the disease and is correlated with poor prognosis. Overactivity of FLT3 has also been implicated in autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. The observation that gain-of-function mutations of FLT3 can promote leukemogenesis has stimulated the development of inhibitors that target this receptor. Many of these are in clinical trials, and some have been approved for clinical use. However, problems with acquired resistance to these inhibitors are common and, furthermore, only a fraction of patients respond to these selective treatments. This review provides a summary of our current knowledge regarding structural and functional aspects of FLT3 signaling, both under normal and pathological conditions, and discusses challenges for the future regarding the use of targeted inhibition of these pathways for the treatment of patients.

Abstract
Assessing the impact of kinase in gene fusion is essential for both identifying driver fusion genes (FGs) and developing molecular targeted therapies. Kinase domain retention is a crucial factor in kinase fusion genes (KFGs), but such a systematic investigation has not been done yet. To this end, we analyzed kinase domain retention (KDR) status in chimeric protein sequences of 914 KFGs covering 312 kinases across 13 major cancer types. Based on 171 kinase domain-retained KFGs including 101 kinases, we studied their recurrence, kinase groups, fusion partners, exon-based expression depth, short DNA motifs around the break points and networks. Our results, such as more KDR than 5'-kinase fusion genes, combinatorial effects between 3'-KDR kinases and their 5'-partners and a signal transduction-specific DNA sequence motif in the break point intronic sequences, supported positive selection on 3'-kinase fusion genes in cancer. We introduced a degree-of-frequency (DoF) score to measure the possible number of KFGs of a kinase. Interestingly, kinases with high DoF scores tended to undergo strong gene expression alteration at the break points. Furthermore, our KDR gene fusion network analysis revealed six of the seven kinases with the highest DoF scores (ALK, BRAF, MET, NTRK1, NTRK3 and RET) were all observed in thyroid carcinoma. Finally, we summarized common features of 'effective' (highly recurrent) kinases in gene fusions such as expression alteration at break point, redundant usage in multiple cancer types and 3'-location tendency. Collectively, our findings are useful for prioritizing driver kinases and FGs and provided insights into KFGs' clinical implications.

Abstract
Src homology region 2 (SH2) domain-containing phosphatase 1 (SHP-1, also known as PTPN6) is a nonreceptor protein tyrosine phosphatase that acts as a negative regulator of inflammation. Emerging evidence indicates that SHP-1 plays a role in inhibiting the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the role of SHP-1 in hepatocarcinogenesis remains unknown. Here, we find that levels of SHP-1 are significantly downregulated in human HCC tissues compared with those in noncancerous tissues (P < 0.001) and inversely correlate with tumor diameters (r = -0.4130, P = 0.0002) and serum α-fetoprotein levels (P = 0.047). Reduced SHP-1 expression was associated with shorter overall survival of patients with HCC with HBV infection. Overexpression of SHP-1 suppressed proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumorigenicity of HCC cells, whereas knockdown of SHP-1 enhanced the malignant phenotype. Moreover, knockout of Ptpn6 in hepatocytes (Ptpn6HKO ) enhanced hepatocarcinogenesis induced by diethylnitrosamine (DEN) as well as metastasis of primary liver cancer in mice. Furthermore, systemic delivery of SHP-1 by an adenovirus expression vector exerted a therapeutic effect in an orthotopic model of HCC in NOD/SCID mice and DEN-induced primary liver cancers in Ptpn6HKO mice. In addition, SHP-1 inhibited the activation of JAK/STAT, NF-κB, and AKT signaling pathways, but not the MAPK pathway in primary hepatocytes from DEN-treated mice and human HCC cells. Together, our data implicate SHP-1 as a tumor suppressor of hepatocarcinogenesis and HCC progression and propose it as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target of HCC.Significance: The nonreceptor protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 acts as a tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
The tyrosine kinases (TKs) are important parts of metazoan signaling pathways and play significant roles in cell growth, development, apoptosis and disease. Genome-wide characterization of TKs has been conducted in many metazoans, however, systematic information about this family in Lepidoptera is still lacking. We retrieved 33 TK-encoding genes in silkworm and classified them into 25 subfamilies by sequence analysis, without members in AXL, FRK, PDGFR, STYK1 and TIE subfamilies. Although domain sequences in each subfamily are conserved, TKs in vertebrates tend to be remarkably conserved and stable. Our results of phylogenetic analysis supported the previous conclusion for the second major expansion of TK family. Gene-Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that a higher proportion of BmTKs played roles in binding, catalysis, signal transduction, metabolism, biological regulation and response to stimulus, compared to all silkworm genes annotated in GO. Moreover, the expression profile analysis of BmTKs among multiple tissues and developmental stages demonstrated that many genes exhibited stage-specific and/or sex-related expression during embryogenesis, molting and metamorphosis, and that 8 BmTKs presented tissue-specific high expression. Our study provides systematic description of silkworm tyrosine kinases, and may also provide further insights into metazoan TKs and assist future studies addressing their functions.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma (NB) is one of the most common pediatric malignancies in children. Abnormal activation of receptor tyrosine kinases contributes to the pathological development of NB. Therefore, targeting tyrosine kinase receptors to cure NB is a promising strategy. Here, we report that a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor ponatinib inhibited NB cell proliferation and induced NB cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, ponatinib suppressed the colony formation ability of NB cells. Mechanistically, ponatinib effectively inhibited the FGFR1-activated signaling pathway. Ponatinib also enhanced the cytotoxic effects of doxorubicin on NB cells. Furthermore, ponatinib demonstrated anti-tumor efficacy in vivo by inhibiting tumor growth in an orthotopic xenograft NB mouse model. In summary, our results showed that ponatinib inhibited NB growth both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) triggered by ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter such as ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCG2 limited successful cancer chemotherapy. Unfortunately, no commercial available MDR modulator approved by FDA was used in clinic. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been administrated to fight against cancer for decades. Almost TKI was used alone in clinic. However, drug combinations acting synergistically to kill cancer cells have become increasingly important in cancer chemotherapy as an approach for the recurrent resistant disease. Here, we summarize the effect of TKIs on enhancing the efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutic drug in ABC transporter-mediated MDR cancer cells, which encourage to further discuss and study in clinic.
