Project description:This experiment was performed to identify immediate early genes that were induced by PDGF specifically through Src family kinases (SFKs), MEK1/2, or PI 3-K.
Project description:Protein kinases are subject to multiple layers of regulation that modulate their activity, localization and substrate specificity. However, the details of kinase regulation are incompletely understood, even for some of the most well-characterized kinases. Here, we measure the functional effect of thousands of single amino acid mutants of Src kinase's catalytic domain to identify residues involved in novel regulatory interactions.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:This clinical study is being conducted at multiple sites to determine the activity, safety, and tolerability of XL999 when given weekly to patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). XL999 is a small molecule inhibitor of multiple kinases including VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR, FLT-3, and Src, which are involved in tumor cell growth, formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), and metastasis.
