Abstract

The activation status of signal transduction pathways involving receptor tyrosine kinases and its association with EGFR or KRAS mutations have been widely studied using cancer cell lines, although it is still uncertain in primary tumors. To study the activation status of main components of growth factor-induced pathways, phosphorylated Akt (pAkt), extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (pERK) and other downstream proteins were immunohistochemically examined using surgical samples of 193 primary lung adenocarcinomas. Also, thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) expression and mutation status of EGFR and KRAS were examined. Advanced tumor stages (p<0.001), negative TTF-1 expression (p<0.001) and Akt activation (p=0.015) were independent and significant poor prognostic markers. Akt activation related to advanced stage (p=0.021), invasiveness (p=0.004), and not to mutations. TTF-1 expression associated with never-smoker (p=0.013), pre- or minimally invasiveness (p<0.001) and EGFR mutations (p=0.017) as well as with pERK (p=0.039) expression. EGFR mutations did not correlated with pAkt and pERK expression, which was different from the results based on cultured cells, while KRAS mutations were solely and significantly linked ...Continue Reading

Cell Signaling by Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. RTKs have been shown not only to be key regulators of normal cellular processes but also to have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer. Discover the latest research on cell signaling and RTK here.
