Abstract

Enhanced tyrosine kinase activity due to aberrant or overexpression of receptor and/or non-receptor tyrosine kinases has been implicated in a variety of human malignancies including cutaneous neoplasms. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation may be a primary indicator of signal transduction regulating cell growth and proliferation. Recent studies have shown that skin tumor promoters such as phorbol ester and ultraviolet B radiation activate EGFR in mouse skin as well as in cell culture. Similarly, oxidative stress, which is implicated in skin tumor promotion, also activates EGFR-mediated cell signaling. Since this signaling pathway has been suggested to be involved in skin tumor promotion, its impairment by antioxidants may lead to an efficient way for skin cancer prevention and therapy. Recently, we showed that silymarin, a flavonoid antioxidant, affords exceptionally high to complete protection against several skin tumor promoters caused tumor promotion in mouse skin. Employing human epidermoid carcinoma cells A431 that contain overexpressed EGFR, in this study, we assessed whether the anti-skin tumor promoting effects of silymarin are due to its inhibitory effect on EGFR activation and down...Continue Reading

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

Basal cell carcinoma is a form of malignant skin cancer found on the head and neck regions and has low rates of metastasis. Discover the latest research on basal cell carcinoma here.

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.
