The Neurod1/4-Ntrk3-Src pathway regulates gonadotrope cell adhesion and motility
Pituitary gonadotrope cells are essential for the endocrine regulation of reproduction in vertebrates. These cells emerge early during embryogenesis, colonize the pituitary glands and organize in tridimensional networks, which are believed to be crucial ...

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is known to be located at the intersection between extracellular matrix and growth factor signaling pathways to regulate cell motility. We have shown previously that an activated form (BCR-FLTm1) of Flt-1 kinase, a receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor, had a tubulogenic activity not only in endothelial cells but ...

Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 as a Signaling Molecule for Focal Adhesion Kinase pp125FAK and pp60 [PDF]
Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is a major substrate of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I receptors, which upon phosphorylation on tyrosine docks several signaling molecules. Recently, IRS-1 was found to interact with alphav beta3 integrins upon insulin stimulation.

Mechanotransduction in striated muscle via focal adhesion kinase [PDF]
Contractile tissues demonstrate a pronounced capacity to remodel their composition in response to mechanical challenges. Descriptive evidence suggests the upstream involvement of the phosphotransfer enzyme FAK (focal adhesion kinase) in the molecular ...

Caveolin-1 Up-regulation during Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition Is Mediated by Focal Adhesion Kinase [PDF]
Emerging evidence has shown that caveolin-1 is up-regulated in a number of metastatic cancers and can influence various aspects of cell migration. However, in general, the role of caveolin-1 in cancer progression is poorly understood. In the present study, we examined alterations in caveolin-1 expression during epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)

A role for Syk-kinase in the control of the binding cycle of the β2 integrins (CD11/CD18) in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils [PDF]
A fine control of β2 integrin (CD11/CD18)-mediated firm adhesion of human neutrophils to the endothelial cell monolayer is required to allow ordered emigration.

Modelling stromal FAK regulation of tumour growth, angiogenesis and progression [PDF]
PhDThe growth of tumours within a whole organism depends on the tumour microenvironment. This involves both resident stromal cells, such as endothelial cells and fibroblasts, and also bone marrow derived stromal cells.

TGFβ1 activates c-Jun and Erk1 via αVβ6 integrin
Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) plays an important role in animal development and many cellular processes. A variety of cellular functions that are required for tumor metastasis are controlled by integrins, a family of cell adhesion receptors ...

RIOK3 promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell invasion and metastasis by stabilizing FAK
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an extremely aggressive cancer, characterized by a high metastatic burden. RIO Kinase 3 (RIOK3) has been shown to promote invasion and metastasis of PDAC by cytoskeleton remodeling, but the exact mechanism is ...
