Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activates and stabilizes IGF-1 receptor

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2009
Recent studies have shown a direct association between IGF-1R and FAK, two important mediators of cell growth, survival and migration. However, the mechanism by which FAK affects IGF-1R function remains unknown. This study investigates the potential role of FAK in mediating activation and stability of IGF-1R.

Cell-cycle-dependent association of protein phosphatase 1 and focal adhesion kinase

Biochemical Journal, 2001
Immunofluorescence studies with protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) isoforms-specific antibodies detected PP1δ, but not α or γ1, at focal adhesions. PP1δ also co-immunoprecipitated with the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and the αv-integrin. In the present study glutathione S-transferase (GST)–PP1δ pulled-down FAK from fibroblasts extract and the interaction ...

Thrombospondin-1-Induced Migration Is Functionally Dependent Upon Focal Adhesion Kinase

Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2008
Vascular smooth muscle cell migration is important in vascular disease. Previously, we showed thrombospondin-1 activates focal adhesion kinase in these cells. We hypothesized that focal adhesion kinase is important for thrombspondin-1-induced vascular smooth muscle cell migration. Bovine aortic smooth muscle cells were transfected with FAK397, FAK-wild

Concerted modulation of paxillin dynamics at focal adhesions by deleted in liver cancer‐1 and focal adhesion kinase during early cell spreading

Cytoskeleton, 2014
Deleted in Liver Cancer‐1 (DLC1) is a RhoGTPase‐activating protein (GAP) and a tumor suppressor often downregulated in cancers. It is localized to the focal adhesions (FAs) and its absence leads to enhanced cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. Although DLC1 interacts with focal adhesion kinase (FAK), talin, and tensin, its role in focal adhesions ...

Caveolin 1 Expression Correlates with Poor Prognosis and Focal Adhesion Kinase Expression in Gastric Cancer

Pathobiology, 2012
<b><i>Objective:</i></b><i>Caveolin 1</i> gene is known as a tumor promoter or suppressor, depending on the tumor type and/or tumor stage. We aimed to investigate the clinical significance of caveolin 1 protein (Cav1) expression in gastric cancer (GC).

Positioning of integrin β1, caveolin‐1 and focal adhesion kinase on the adhered membrane of spreading cells

Cell Biology International, 2013
AbstractWe have investigated the relationship between the spreading of anchorage‐dependent cells and the surface‐density distribution of plasma membrane adhesion proteins. The surface positioning and density of integrin β1, caveolin‐1 (cav‐1), the phosphorylated caveolin‐1 (p‐cav‐1) and the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) located on the adhering cell ...

Design and synthesis of 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines as focal adhesion kinase inhibitors. Part 1

Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2006
A series of 2-amino-9-aryl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines were designed and synthesized to target focal adhesion kinase (FAK). A number of these pyrrolopyrimides exhibited low micromolar inhibitory activities against focal adhesion kinase, and their preliminary SAR was established via systematic chemical modifications. The 2-amino-9-aryl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]

Association of beta 1 integrin with focal adhesion kinase and paxillin in differentiating Schwann cells.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2000
Schwann cells (SCs) differentiate into a myelinating cell when simultaneously adhering to an axon destined for myelination and basal lamina. We are interested in defining the signaling pathway activated by basal lamina. Using SC/sensory neuron (N) cocultures, we identified beta1 integrin and F-actin as components of a pathway leading to myelin gene ...

Focal Adhesion Kinase pp125FAKand the β1 Integrin Subunit Are Constitutively Complexed in HaCaT Cells

Experimental Cell Research, 1998
Binding of integrins to the extracellular matrix (ECM) activates various signal transduction pathways and regulates gene expression in many cell types. Integrin-dependent cytoplasmic protein/protein interactions are necessary for activation of those signal transduction cascades.

Atorvastatin inhibited Rho-associated kinase 1 (ROCK1) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) mediated adhesion and differentiation of CD133+CD44+ prostate cancer stem cells

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2013
Prostate cancer has become a global health concern and is one of the leading causes of cancer death of men after lung and gastric cancers. It has been suggested that the 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutarylcoenzyme-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor atorvastatin shows anticancer activity in prostate cancer cell lines.
