The soluble form of pan-RTK inhibitor and tumor suppressor LRIG1 mediates downregulation of AXL through direct protein–protein interaction in gliobla…
2019
Abstract Background Targeted approaches for inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and other receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) in glioblastoma (GBM) have led to therapeutic resistance and little clinical benefit, raising the need for the development of alternative strategies. Endogenous LRIG1 (Leucine-rich Repeats and ImmunoGlobulin-like domains protein 1) is an RTK inhibitory protein required for stem cell maintenance, and we previously demonstrated the soluble ectodomain of LRIG1 (sLRIG1) to potently inhibit GBM growth in vitro and in vivo. Methods Here, we generated a recombinant protein of the ectodomain of LRIG1 (sLRIG1) and determined its activity in various cellular GBM mo…
OS1.5 Harnessing soluble LRIG1 for pan-RTK targeting in glioblastoma
2018
INTRODUCTION: The role of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) in glioblastoma is widely acknowledged. However, therapies based on RTK targeting have been continuously unsuccessful in GBM patients, highlighting the complexity of RTK signaling and biology. LRIG1 (Leucine-rich Repeats and ImmunoGlobulin domains protein 1) was identified as an endogenous inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and other RTKs, and was confirmed as a tumor suppressor in various cancer types. We previously identified the soluble form of LRIG1 as a potent inhibitor of GBM growth in vivo, irrespective of EGFR status. Here, we aim to shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying its anti-cancer activity…
P11.09 Pan-RTK inhibition of sLRIG1 mediates AXL downregulation in Glioblastoma
2019
Abstract INTRODUCTION Aberrant regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activity is characteristic of Glioblastoma (GBM). However, RTK-based targeted therapies have been largely unsuccessful in GBM patients, partially due to the complexity and redundance of RTK signaling. LRIG1 (Leucine-rich Repeats and ImmunoGlobulindomains protein 1) is known as an endogenous inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) during health and disease, however its mechanism of action is poorly understood. We previously showed that the soluble form of LRIG1 potently inhibits of GBM growth in vivo, irrespective of EGFR expression level and status, suggesting the involvement of other RTKs. Here, we aim…
