Feedback and redundancy in receptor tyrosine kinase signaling: relevance to cancer therapies

Chong Sun et al. Trends Biochem Sci. 2014 Oct.

Abstract

Mammalian cells have multiple regulatory mechanisms to deal with perturbations in cellular homeostasis, including feedback loops and crosstalk between the major signaling pathways. While these mechanisms are critically required to help cells survive under dynamic physiological circumstances, they also pose an impediment to the effective treatment of cancer. In this review, we describe what has been learned about interactions between receptor tyrosine kinase-dependent signaling pathways, and how this knowledge can be used to design rational and more effective combination therapies for cancer.
