Activating FGFR1 Mutations in Sporadic Pheochromocytomas [PDF]
AbstractIntroductionPheochromocytomas are neuroendocrine tumors of the adrenal glands. Up to 40% of the cases are caused by germline mutations in one of at least 15 susceptibility genes, making them the human neoplasms with the highest degree of heritability.

Somatic rearrangements causing oncogenic ectodomain deletions of FGFR1 in squamous cell lung cancer
The discovery of frequent 8p11-p12 amplifications in squamous cell lung cancer (SQLC) has fueled hopes that FGFR1, located inside this amplicon, might be a therapeutic target. In a clinical trial, only 11% of patients with 8p11 amplification (detected by

Characterization of FGFR1 Locus in sqNSCLC Reveals a Broad and Heterogeneous Amplicon. [PDF]
FGFR1 amplification occurs in ~20% of sqNSCLC and trials with FGFR inhibitors have selected FGFR1 amplified patients by FISH. Lung cancer cell lines were profiled for sensitivity to AZD4547, a potent, selective inhibitor of FGFRs 1-3. Sensitivity to FGFR

FGF2/FGFR1 regulates autophagy in FGFR1-amplified non-small cell lung cancer cells [PDF]
Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process to degrade cellular organelles. The role of autophagy in cancer development is complex. Amplification of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) is one of the most frequent targets in lung squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC).

Identification of mechanism of the oncogenic role of FGFR1 in papillary thyroid carcinoma
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent malignancy of the thyroid. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) is highly expressed in PTC and works as an oncogenic protein in this disease.

NGF-induced cell differentiation and gene activation is mediated by integrative nuclear FGFR1 signaling (INFS). [PDF]
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is the founding member of the polypeptide neurotrophin family responsible for neuronal differentiation. To determine whether the effects of NGF rely upon novel Integrative Nuclear FGF Receptor-1 (FGFR1) Signaling (INFS) we ...

The prevalence of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 Gene (FGFR1) amplification in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) by Real-time PCR [PDF]
Background: Comprehensive molecular assessment of cancers could open up new horizons for novel therapies. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene amplification has been previously demonstrated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 gene amplification and protein expression in human lung cancer
Background Targeting fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) is a potential treatment for squamous cell lung cancer (SQCLC). So far, treatment decision in clinical studies is based on gene amplification.
