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…
