CD73 promotes non-small cell lung cancer metastasis by regulating Axl signaling independent of GAS6. (PubMed, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A)
We also identified the distinct function of CD73 activity in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Our findings indicated a role of CD73 in mediating NSCLC metastasis and propose it as a therapeutic target for NSCLC.

GAS6-AS1 drives bladder cancer progression by increasing MMP7 expression in a ceRNA- and RBP-dependent manner. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
To sum up, GAS6-AS1 promotes UBC progression through two distinct axes: the GAS6-AS1/miR-367-3p/MMP7 axis and the GAS6-AS1/PRC1/APC/Wnt/MMP7 axis, respectively. As a potential biomarker for UBC, GAS6-AS1 holds promising prospects for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of UBC.

Could Gas6/TAM Axis Provide Valuable Insights into the Pathogenesis of Systemic Sclerosis? (PubMed, Curr Issues Mol Biol)
In the present manuscript, we review the current evidence regarding SSc pathogenesis and the role of the Gas6/TAM system in several human diseases, suggesting its likely contribution in SSc and highlighting areas where further research is necessary to fully comprehend the role of TAM receptors in this condition. Indeed, understanding the involvement of TAM receptors in SSc, which is currently unknown, could provide valuable insights for novel potential therapeutic targets.

Gas6 and Protein S Ligands Cooperate to Regulate MerTK Rhythmic Activity Required for Circadian Retinal Phagocytosis. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Accordingly, we show that ligand bioavailability varies during the circadian cycle using RT-qPCR and immunoblots on retinal and retinal-pigment epithelial samples from control and beta5 integrin knockout mice where retinal phagocytosis is arrhythmic. Taken together, our results suggest that Gas6 and Protein S might both contribute to refine the acute regulation of MerTK in time for the daily phagocytic peak.

Co-targeting JAK1/STAT6/GAS6/TAM signaling improves chemotherapy efficacy in Ewing sarcoma. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of either JAK1 by filgotinib or TAM kinases by UNC2025 sensitizes Ewing sarcoma to chemotherapy in vitro and in vivo. Excitingly, the TAM kinase inhibitor MRX-2843 currently in human clinical trials to treat AML and advanced solid tumors, enhances chemotherapy efficacy to further suppress Ewing sarcoma tumor growth in vivo. Our findings reveal an Ewing sarcoma chemoresistance mechanism with an immediate translational value.

Phase 1b study of batiraxcept in combination with durvalumab in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. (PubMed, iScience)
Batiraxcept effectively reduced serum GAS6 levels at 1-h post-treatment, resulting in trough levels below the limit of detection in all cases but one. In conclusion, the combination of batiraxcept and durvalumab was safe and tolerable but did not demonstrate anti-tumor activity in a heterogenous population of patients with recurrent PROC.

Gas6-Axl Signaling Induces SRF/MRTF-A Gene Transcription via MICAL2. (PubMed, Genes (Basel))
The physiological significance of the Gas6/Axl-MICAL2 signaling pathway described here is supported by the marked gene expression correlation across a broad array of different cancers between MICAL2 and Axl and Gas6, as well as the coexpression of these genes and the known SRF/MRTF-A target transcripts. Overall, these data reveal a new link between Gas6/Axl and SRF/MRTF-A-dependent gene transcription and link MICAL2 as a novel effector of the Gas6/Axl signaling pathway.

Influence of serum Gas6 levels on prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Jpn J Clin Oncol)
Serum growth arrest-specific 6 levels were associated with prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma patients. In early and intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma patients who underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, high growth arrest-specific 6 levels were associated with a high incidence of portal vein tumour thrombosis. Circulating growth arrest-specific 6 levels may be a useful prognostic marker in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
