Mutations in the DDR2 Kinase Gene Identify a Novel Therapeutic Target in Squamous Cell Lung Cancer

TL;DR: Findings suggest that gain-of-function mutations in DDR2 are important oncogenic events and are amenable to therapy with dasatinib, and provide a rationale for designing clinical trials with the FDA-approved drug d asatinib in patients with lung SCCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic studies reveal an unexpected negative regulatory role for Jak2 in thrombopoiesis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Jak2 in terminal megakaryopoiesis is not required for PLT production, and that Jak 2 loss in PLTs and MKs results in non-autonomous expansion of stem/progenitors and of MKs and PLTs via dysregulated TPO turnover.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acquired Resistance to Dasatinib in Lung Cancer Cell Lines Conferred by DDR2 Gatekeeper Mutation and NF1 Loss

TL;DR: It is shown that NF1 loss activates a bypass pathway, which confers ERK dependency downstream of RAS activation, and this results indicate that acquired resistance to dasatinib can occur via both second-site mutations in DDR2 and by activation of bypass pathways.
