saracatinib (AZD0530)

Our in vivo data identify murine VPS35 as a critical regulator of hepatocellular proliferation in postnatal livers, but not after PH. Although VPS35 deficiency mitigates DEN-induced liver lesion formation, it does not affect tumor progression, arguing against a role for VPS35 as a canonical oncogene.

Wild-type and 5-fluorouracil-resistance acquired SNU-C5 colorectal cancer cells were cultured in both monolayer and spheroid systems under fetal bovine serum (FBS) or growth factor (GF) supplemented conditions. Saracatinib exerts anti-cancer effects in colorectal cancer cells by downregulating MAPKs, EGFR, and CSC-associated markers. However, paradoxical upregulation of Sox2 influenced spheroid formation under GF-supplemented conditions, suggesting that Sox2 may contribute to drug resistance or recurrence in colorectal cancers.

Importantly, in a therapeutically relevant orthotopic G3 MB model, administration of the re-purposed blood-brain-barrier permeable SRC inhibitor, Saracatinib, in conjunction with CRT, significantly reduced tumor burden and improved animal survival compared to CRT treatment alone without any neurotoxic side effects. Overall, our results underscore the pivotal role of SRC in enhancing stemness and aggressive behavior in CRT-resistant recurrent G3 MB. Targeting SRC not only promotes cell death through apoptosis and necroptosis but also encourages differentiation, positioning it as a promising therapeutic target for rapid clinical interventions.

High-risk patients were found to be more sensitive to treatment drugs ABT.263, AZD.0530, gefitinib, imatinib, PAC.1, and shikonin. The predictive model we constructed can independently predict the prognosis of patients with CRC. Further experimental validation and mechanistic studies are warranted to elucidate the precise role of OS-related lncRNAs in CRC pathogenesis.

Treatment of these cells with SRC inhibitors (such as dasatinib, bosutinib and saracatinib) and autophagy-inducing drugs (such as Tat-BECN1, SW076956 and SW063058) demonstrated a synergistic interaction between these compounds both in vitro and in ovo using a chick Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) assay. Our findings elucidate a novel BAP1-SRC-BECN1-autophagy regulatory axis that can be exploited therapeutically in precision oncology through the combination of SRC inhibitors and autophagy inducers, contingent upon patient stratification for BAP1 loss.Significance: Deadly cancers with BAP1 mutations suppress autophagy by phosphorylating the autophagy regulator BECN1 via the proto-oncogene SRC. Treatment with SRC inhibitors and autophagy inducers exhibited synergism in vitro, in ovo and in patient-derived tumor organoids with BAP1 loss, paving the way for treating BAP1-deficient cancers with autophagy inducers and kinase inhibitors.

Drug sensitivity analysis highlighted AZD.0530, CCT007093, DMOG, JNJ.26854165, and LFM.A13 as promising therapeutic candidates. In both datasets, expression of prognostic genes was significantly higher in the GC cohort. This study identified ERCC6L and MYB as key prognostic genes, facilitating the development of a risk model that offers novel insights into potential therapeutic strategies for GC.

To evaluate the efficacy of dual targeting, we assessed the combination between SRC inhibitors, saracatinib and dasatinib, with sorafenib in six hepatic cell models, representing both S1 and S2 subtypes. Additionally, combined therapies decreased VEGFA and HIF1A expression compared to sorafenib alone, suggesting a potential to counteract the adaptive resistance mechanisms of cells to sorafenib. In summary, the combination of SFK inhibitors with sorafenib significantly enhances anti-tumor activity, offering a promising strategy to address HCC cellular heterogeneity and improve treatment efficacy.

TM4SF1 promotes HF progression and HSC activation by binding to and activating c-Src. TM4SF1 could be a future therapeutic target for HF by inhibiting HSC activation.

In contrast, SRC inhibition with Saracatinib fails to inhibit YAP1/TAZ-driven transcription and cell growth in general...In such invasive carcinoma models, the combined inhibition of SRC, IGF2BP1, and YAP1/TAZ proved superior over monotherapies. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting IGF2BP1, a key regulator of oncogenic transcription networks.

The cell migration and EMT function of IGF2BP3 were partially rescued by utilizing SRC siRNA or AZD0530, an SRC inhibitor. This study demonstrated that IGF2BP3 promotes lymphatic metastasis in LUAD via activating the m6A-SRC-STAT3-VEGFC signaling axis, indicating that IGF2BP3 is a potential therapeutic target to overcome metastasis in LUAD patients.

Our study has effectively established an oxidative stress-related prognostic model, providing a promising tool for personalized clinical strategies and improved STAD patient outcomes.
