Journal ArticleDOI

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase proteins in growth control and cancer.

TL;DR: Reports of ALK expression in a range of carcinoma‐derived cell lines together with its apparent role as a receptor for PTN and MK, both of which have been implicated in tumourigenesis, raise the possibility that ALK‐mediated signalling could play a role in the development and or progression of a number of common solid tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI

The emerging normal and disease-related roles of anaplastic lymphoma kinase.

TL;DR: The study of ALK fusion proteins has raised the possibility of new therapeutic treatments for patients with ALK-positive malignancies, given that ALK fusions also occur in the mesenchymal tumor known as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT).
Journal ArticleDOI

Troglitazone Acts on Cellular pH and DNA Synthesis through a Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ-Independent Mechanism in Breast Cancer-Derived Cell Lines

TL;DR: Sustained acidosis is consonant with decreased proliferation and growth that is not reversed by a PPARγ antagonist and support a NHE-mediated action of TRO that exerts its effect independent of PParγ.
