Imatinib inhibits VEGF-independent angiogenesis by targeting neuropilin 1-dependent ABL1 activation in endothelial cells. [PDF]
, 2014 To enable new blood vessel growth, endothelial cells (ECs) express neuropilin 1 (NRP1), and NRP1 associates with the receptor tyrosine kinase VEGFR2 after binding the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF) to enhance arteriogenesis.

Endothelial Cell mTOR Complex-2 Regulates Sprouting Angiogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Tumor neovascularization is targeted by inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or the receptor to prevent tumor growth, but drug resistance to angiogenesis inhibition limits clinical efficacy.

Dynamin as a Mover and Pincher during Cell Migration and Invasion [PDF]
, 2006 The large GTPase dynamin, long known for its role in endocytosis, has most recently been implicated as a facilitator of cell migration and invasion. Recent observations link dynamin to the cycle of membrane expansion and retraction essential for cell ...

Focal adhesion kinase and cancer.
Histology and histopathology, 2009 Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that resides at the sites of integrin clustering, known as focal adhesions. The FAK protein has a molecular mass of 125kDa and is encoded by the FAK gene located on human chromosome 8q24.

FAK family kinases: The Yin and Yang of cancer cell invasiveness
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2018 Proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (PYK2, also known as Pyk2) and its closely related focal adhesion kinase (FAK) modulate cancer cell invasion by coordinating the balance between focal adhesion-mediated migration and invadopodia-dependent extracellular ...

α5β1-Integrin promotes tension-dependent mammary epithelial cell invasion by engaging the fibronectin synergy site. [PDF]
, 2017 Tumors are fibrotic and characterized by abundant, remodeled, and cross-linked collagen that stiffens the extracellular matrix stroma. The stiffened collagenous stroma fosters malignant transformation of the tissue by increasing tumor cell tension to ...

PAKing up to the endothelium [PDF]
, 2009 Angiogenesis recapitulates the growth of blood vessels that progressively expand and remodel into a highly organized and stereotyped vascular network. During adulthood, endothelial cells that formed the vascular wall retain their plasticity and can be ...

Focal adhesion kinase regulation of neovascularization [PDF]
Microvascular Research, 2012 In this review, we discuss the role of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), an intracellular tyrosine kinase, in endothelial cells in relation to neovascularization. Genetic and in vitro studies have identified critical factors, receptor systems, and their intracellular signaling components that regulate the neovasculogenic phenotypes of endothelial cells ...

FAK Structure and Regulation by Membrane Interactions and Force in Focal Adhesions
Biomolecules, 2020 Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase with key roles in the regulation of cell adhesion migration, proliferation and survival. In cancer FAK is a major driver of invasion and metastasis and its upregulation is associated with poor
