RECEPTOR TYROSINE KINASE AND PROLIFERATION AND TISSUE EXPANSION<br />

* receptor tyrosine<br />

kinases (RTKs) = main<br />

positive regulators of<br />

proliferation and tissue<br />

expansion (through<br />

downstream pathways<br />

inclu<strong>di</strong>ng ras - MAPK and<br />

PI3K / Akt cascade);<br />

* RTKs negatively act on<br />

E - cadherin function →<br />

<strong>di</strong>sassembly of adherens<br />

junctions;<br />

- downstream elements of RTK signalling interact and activate Rho family<br />

GTPases (Rac, Rho, Cdc42) system that interfere with cadherin - me<strong>di</strong>ated<br />

adhesion through changes in actin cytoskeleton;<br />

* catenin p120 acts as regulator of cadherin function either promoting or<br />

repressing E - cadherin - dependent adhesion
