Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Coexpression of c-kit and stem cell factor in breast cancer results in enhanced sensitivity to members of the EGF family of growth factors.
- Src family kinase activity is required for Kit-mediated mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation, however loss of functional retinoblastoma protein makes MAP kinase activation unnecessary for growth of small cell lung cancer cells.
- The selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 inhibits small cell lung cancer growth.
- A novel assay for the measurement of Raf-1 kinase activity.
- Indolinone tyrosine kinase inhibitors block Kit activation and growth of small cell lung cancer cells.
- Mechanisms of resistance to imatinib (STI571) and prospects for combination with conventional chemotherapeutic agents.
- Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-Akt signaling blocks growth, promotes apoptosis, and enhances sensitivity of small cell lung cancer cells to chemotherapy.
- Isolation and characterization of complementary DNA for N-cym, a gene encoded by the DNA strand opposite to N-myc.
- Flavopiridol potently induces small cell lung cancer apoptosis during S phase in a manner that involves early mitochondrial dysfunction.
- Role of small-molecule kit receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the treatment of small-cell lung cancer.

- The insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptor kinase inhibitor NVP-ADW742, in combination with STI571, delineates a spectrum of dependence of small cell lung cancer on IGF-I and stem cell factor signaling.
- The multi-targeted kinase inhibitor SU5416 inhibits small cell lung cancer growth and angiogenesis, in part by blocking Kit-mediated VEGF expression.
- The insulin-like growth factor-I receptor kinase inhibitor, NVP-ADW742, sensitizes small cell lung cancer cell lines to the effects of chemotherapy.
