EGI-1 cell line treated with Saracatinib vs EGI-1 cell line untreated; EGI-1 xenograft treated with Saracatinib vs EGI-1 untreated

ABSTRACT: Biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) has a poor prognosis due to limited treatment options. There is therefore urgent need to identify new targets and to design innovative therapeutic approaches. Among potential candidate molecules, we evaluated the non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src, observing promising antitumor effects of its small molecule inhibitor Saracatinib in BTC preclinical models. The presence of an active Src protein was investigated by immunohistochemistry in 19 surgical samples from BTC patients. Upon Saracatinib treatment, the phosphorylation of Src and of its downstream transducers was evaluated in the BTC cell lines TFK-1, EGI-1, HuH28 and TGBC1-TKB. The effect of Saracatinib on proliferation and migration was analyzed in these same cell lines, and its antitumor activity was essaye
