Mitotic catastrophe (MC) is induced when stressed cells enter prematurely or inappropriately into mitosis and can be caused by ionizing radiation and anticancer drugs. Foretinib is a multikinase inhibitor whose mechanism of action is incompletely understood. We investigated here the effect of Foretinib on chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cell...

Loss of tumor-suppressive pathways that control cellular senescence is a crucial step in malignant transformation. Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase that has been recently implicated in tumor suppression of melanoma, a deadly skin cancer derived from pigment-producing melanocytes. However, the mechanism by which Syk...

During progression of melanoma, malignant melanocytes can be reprogrammed into mesenchymal-like cells through a process similar to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is associated with downregulation of the junctional protein E-cadherin and acquisition of a migratory phenotype. Recent evidence supports a role for SLUG, a...
