Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent an important class of RNAs comprising more than 200 nucleotides, which are produced by RNA polymerase II. Although lacking an open reading framework and protein-encoding activity, lncRNAs can mediate endogenous gene expression by serving as chromatin remodeler, transcriptional or post-transcriptional modulat...

EphA2 (EPH receptor A2) (erythropoietin‑producing hepatocellular receptor tyrosine kinase subtype A2) plays a crucial role in human cancers, and is a promising target for the development of new anticancer drugs. In this study, we showed that the interaction of Annexin A1 (ANXA1) and EphA2 increased EphA2 stability by inhibiting its proteasome degra...

Abstract Eph receptors and the corresponding Eph receptor-interacting (ephrin) ligands jointly constitute a critical cell signaling network that has multiple functions. The tyrosine kinase EphA2, which belongs to the family of Eph receptors, is highly produced in tumor tissues, while found at relatively low levels in most normal adult tissues, indi...

EphA2 is an important oncogenic protein and emerging drug target, but the oncogenic role and mechanism of ligand-independent phosphorylation of EphA2 at tyrosine 772 (pY772-EphA2) is unclear. In this study, we established nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell lines with stable expression of exogenous EphA2 and EphA2-Y772A (phosphorylation inactivatio...

Overexpression of ANXA1 and EphA2 has been linked to various cancers and both proteins have attracted considerable attention for the development of new anticancer drugs. Here we report that ANXA1 competes with Cbl for binding EphA2 and increases its stability by inhibiting Cbl-mediated EphA2 ubiquitination and degradation in nasopharyngeal carcinom...

TRAF6, a well-known adapter molecule, plays pivotal role in TLR/IL-1R associated signaling pathway. Although TRAF6 has been shown to have oncogenic activity in various malignant tumors, the details remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that TRAF6 facilitates Ras (G12V) and EGF-induced cellular transformation through EGFR. Silencing of TRAF...

... After newborn nude mice were injected with MDCK cells, the tissue characteristics were similar to adenocarcinoma, and the tumours could migrate, forming lung metastasis and spinal cord metastasis [27]. Spontaneous malignant transformation is an important trigger of tumorigenesis, and this process has been found to be associated with the abnormal expression of some key molecules, such as p53[28], EGFR [29], CD147 and RSK2 [30]. The mechanism of spontaneous tumorigenesis in continuous cell lines in vitro is different from that of induced tumorigenesis [23]. ...

Compared with laboratory experiments, bioinformatics technology has a great advantage in collating, analyzing, and visualizing large amount of biological information quickly and accurately by computer, with a good reproducibility [13]. Biomarkers and therapeutic targets of many diseases as well as tumors were identified by bioinformatics [14][15][16]. In this study, AR-related public datasets (GSE75011, GSE46171) were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to gain AR-related genes (ARRGs). ...
... By implementing this methodology, MYC and ATF5-derived CPPs were shown to restrict tumor growth and have now progressed to clinical trials [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. In line with the above studies, dominant-negative domains of ANXA1, p50, connexin-43, and Grb-7 were shown to inhibit gastric and colon cancers [12], breast cancer [13], glioma [14], and human epidermoid carcinoma [15]. The U.S. Food Drug Administration has authorized 15 peptide-based drugs in recent years [16]. ...
... ALW-II-41-27 is a small-molecule inhibitor that has been demonstrated to selectively bind to the ATP-binding pocket of the EphA2 receptor kinase domain (13). Although the compound has been shown to have EC 50 values on a number of kinases in vitro at 10 uM (including CSF1R, DDR1/2, Kit, Lck, and PDGFRα/β) (14), this and other recent studies show EC 50 effects of the inhibitor at 200 nM or less on EphA2 kinase activity, allowing more directed and targeted therapeutic dosing (14)(15)(16). ...
... Ephrin receptor A2 (EphA2), a 130 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein, is a member of the Ephrin receptor family, which is the most famous class of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) [23]. Although the role of other members of the Eph family has also been explored in tumours, EphA2 is extremely arresting [24]. ...
... ANXA1 has been extensively implicated in the progression of various cancers. Previous studies have demonstrated its regulatory role in promoting growth and metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (Feng et al. 2020) and lung cancer (Cai et al. 2018). Additionally, ANXA1 has been shown to promote PTC growth via MYC (Ying et al. 2021) and enhance PTC proliferation and migration through the IL-6/ JAK2/STAT3 pathway (Zhao et al. 2021). ...

... FYN was a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) member of the Src family kinase (SFK) (55). It was reported that FYN promoted tumor progression in glioma (56), melanoma (57), colon cancer (58), gastric cancer (59), and pancreatic cancer through various mechanisms (60). Furthermore, FYN was found to suppress LUAD by downregulating PI3K/AKT and inhibiting the epithelial-tomesenchymal transition (61). ...
... Phosphorylation of serine/threonine residues in Eph receptors can trigger ligand-independent signalings, as exemplified by S897-phosphorylated EphA2, which activates AKT and PI3K, promoting the migration and invasion of cancer cells. A mutation at the S897 site abolishes the ligand-independent promotion of cell motility [11,106]. Ligand-independent EphB1 signaling promotes lung cancer cell invasion and migration through CDH2-induced EMT [41]. ...
