Focal adhesion kinase confers lenvatinib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma via the regulation of lysine‐deficient kinase 1

Molecular Carcinogenesis, 2023
Abstract Lenvatinib is a clinically effective multikinase inhibitor approved for first‐line therapy of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although resistance against lenvatinib often emerges and limits its antitumor activity, the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in endogenous and acquired resistance remain elusive.

Thrombospondin-1 induces activation of focal adhesion kinase in vascular smooth muscle cells [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1999
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration are important events in the development of intimal hyperplasia. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), an extracellular matrix protein present in intimal hyperplastic lesions, has been shown to stimulate VSMC proliferation and migration.

Netrin‐1 Preserves Blood‐Brain Barrier Integrity Through Deleted in Colorectal Cancer/Focal Adhesion Kinase/RhoA Signaling Pathway Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Rats

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
Background Netrin‐1 (NTN‐1) has been established to be a novel intrinsic regulator of blood‐brain barrier (BBB) maintenance. This study was carried out to investigate the potential roles of exogenous NTN‐1 in preserving BBB integrity after experimental ...

Interleukin 32 (IL-32) Contains a Typical α-Helix Bundle Structure That Resembles Focal Adhesion Targeting Region of Focal Adhesion Kinase-1 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012
IL-32 can be expressed in several isoforms. The amino acid sequences of the major IL-32 isoforms were used to predict the secondary and tertiary protein structure by I-TASSER software. The secondary protein structure revealed coils and α-helixes, but no β sheets.

αV-Integrins Are Required for Mechanotransduction in MDCK Epithelial Cells [PDF]

, 2013
The properties of epithelial cells within tissues are regulated by their immediate microenvironment, which consists of neighboring cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Diverse cell junctions with unique molecular composition in tissues of a sponge (Porifera)

EvoDevo, 2019
The integrity and organization of animal tissues depend upon specialized protein complexes that mediate adhesion between cells with each other (cadherin-based adherens junctions), and with the extracellular matrix (integrin-based focal adhesions ...

Inhibition of lysyl oxidase‐like 2 overcomes adhesion‐dependent drug resistance in the collagen‐enriched liver cancer microenvironment

Hepatology Communications, 2022
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is considered to be one of the vital mediators of tumor progression. Extracellular matrix (ECM), infiltrating immune cells, and stromal cells collectively constitute the complex ecosystem with varied biochemical and ...

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor substrate 8 (Eps8) controls Src/FAK-dependent phenotypes in squamous carcinoma cells [PDF]

, 2014
Eps8 is an actin regulatory scaffold protein increased in Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) cells. It forms a complex with both Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) and c-Src in SCC cells derived from the DMBA/TPA model of skin carcinogenesis.

FAK deletion promotes p53-mediated induction of p21, DNA-damage responses and radio-resistance in advanced squamous cancer cells [PDF]

, 2011
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase that is elevated in a variety of human cancers. While FAK is implicated in many cellular processes that are perturbed in cancer, including proliferation, actin and adhesion dynamics ...

Costamere remodeling with muscle loading and unloading in healthy young men [PDF]

, 2013
Costameres are mechano-sensory sites of focal adhesion in the sarcolemma that provide a structural anchor for myofibrils. Their turnover is regulated by integrin-associated focal adhesion kinase (FAK).
