TrkA Co-Receptors: The Janus Face of TrkA?
Larotrectinib and Entrectinib are specific pan-Trk tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2018 for cancers with an NTRK fusion. Despite initial enthusiasm for these compounds, the French agency (HAS) recently reported their lack of efficacy. In addition, primary and secondary resistance to these TKIs has

TRAF4-mediated ubiquitination of NGF receptor TrkA regulates prostate cancer metastasis. [PDF]
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are important drivers of cancers. In addition to genomic alterations, aberrant activation of WT RTKs plays an important role in driving cancer progression. However, the mechanisms underlying how RTKs drive prostate cancer remain incompletely characterized.

Nerve Growth Factor Signals via Preexisting TrkA Receptor Oligomers [PDF]
Nerve growth factor (NGF) promotes neuronal survival and differentiation by activating TrkA receptors. Similar to other receptor tyrosine kinases, ligand-induced dimerization is thought to be required for TrkA receptor activation. To study this process, we expressed TrkA receptors in Xenopus laevis oocytes and analyzed their response to NGF by using a ...

Extended Ceramide Exposure Activates the trkA Receptor by Increasing Receptor Homodimer Formation [PDF]
Abstract: Binding of nerve growth factor (NGF) to the trkA tyrosine kinase receptor results in receptor homodimer formation, transphosphorylation, and kinase activation that supports neuronal differentiation and survival. We have shown previously that short‐term exposure of PC12 cells to brain‐derived neurotrophic factor or to C2‐ceramide activates a ...

The neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), produced by neurons and glia, affects multiple processes in the brain, including neuronal survival and neurogenesis during development and in aging. We provide evidence that DHEA interacts with pro-survival

Nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors are increasingly implicated in cancer progression, but their expression in cervical cancer is unclear. The objective of this study was to define the protein expression of NGF, its precursor (proNGF), as well as

TrkA glycosylation regulates receptor localization and activity
The human nerve growth factor receptor (TrkA) contains four potential N-glycosylation sites that are highly conserved within the Trk family of neurotrophin receptors, and nine additional sites that are less well conserved. Using a microscale deglycosylation assay, we show here that both conserved and variable N-glycosylation sites are used during ...

Multivesicular bodies mediate long-range retrograde NGF-TrkA signaling
The development of neurons in the peripheral nervous system is dependent on target-derived, long-range retrograde neurotrophic factor signals. The prevailing view is that target-derived nerve growth factor (NGF), the prototypical neurotrophin, and its ...
