Phagocytosis and clearance of apoptotic cells is mediated by MER
- R. Scott, E. J. McMahon, +5 authors G. Matsushima
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 10 May 2001
Apoptosis is fundamental to the development and maintenance of animal tissues and the immune system. Rapid clearance of apoptotic cells by macrophages is important to inhibit inflammation and… Expand
The TAM family: phosphatidylserine-sensing receptor tyrosine kinases gone awry in cancer
- D. Graham, D. DeRyckere, K. Davies, H. S. Earp
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Cancer
- 1 December 2014
The TYRO3, AXL (also known as UFO) and MERTK (TAM) family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are aberrantly expressed in multiple haematological and epithelial malignancies. Rather than functioning… Expand
Tyro-3 family receptors are essential regulators of mammalian spermatogenesis
We have generated and analysed null mutations in the mouse genes encoding three structurally related receptors with tyrosine kinase activity: Tyro 3, Axl, and Mer. Mice lacking any single receptor,… Expand
Macrophages and Dendritic Cells Use Different Axl/Mertk/Tyro3 Receptors in Clearance of Apoptotic Cells1
- Heather M. Seitz, T. Camenisch, G. Lemke, H. S. Earp, G. Matsushima
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Immunology
- 1 May 2007
The clearance of apoptotic cells is important for regulating tissue homeostasis, inflammation, and autoimmune responses. The absence of receptor tyrosine kinases (Axl, Mertk, and Tyro3) results in… Expand
axl, a transforming gene isolated from primary human myeloid leukemia cells, encodes a novel receptor tyrosine kinase.
- J. O’Bryan, R. Frye, +7 authors E. Liu
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular and cellular biology
- 1 October 1991
Using a sensitive transfection-tumorigenicity assay, we have isolated a novel transforming gene from the DNA of two patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Sequence analysis indicates that the… Expand
Dynamic Reprogramming of the Kinome in Response to Targeted MEK Inhibition in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
- J. Duncan, Martin C. Whittle, +24 authors G. Johnson
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 13 April 2012
Kinase inhibitors have limited success in cancer treatment because tumors circumvent their action. Using a quantitative proteomics approach, we assessed kinome activity in response to MEK inhibition… Expand
A novel receptor tyrosine kinase, Mer, inhibits TNF-alpha production and lipopolysaccharide-induced endotoxic shock.
- T. Camenisch, B. Koller, H. S. Earp, G. Matsushima
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of immunology
- 15 March 1999
The regulation of monocyte function and the inhibition of TNF-alpha production during bacterial sepsis are critical in attenuating adverse host responses to endotoxemia. To study the function of a… Expand
Cell adhesion or integrin clustering increases phosphorylation of a focal adhesion-associated tyrosine kinase.
- L. Kornberg, H. S. Earp, J. Parsons, M. Schaller, R. Juliano
- Medicine, Biology
- The Journal of biological chemistry
- 25 November 1992
We have recently shown that changes in tyrosine phosphorylation of a 130-kDa protein(s) (pp130) may be involved in integrin signaling (Kornberg, L., Earp, H.S., Turner, C., Prokop, and Juliano, R. L.… Expand
Delayed Apoptotic Cell Clearance and Lupus-like Autoimmunity in Mice Lacking the c-mer Membrane Tyrosine Kinase
- P. Cohen, R. Caricchio, +6 authors E. Reap
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental medicine
- 1 July 2002
Mice lacking the membrane tyrosine kinase c-mer have been shown to have altered macro-phage cytokine production and defective phagocytosis of apoptotic cells despite normal phagocytosis of other… Expand
The TGF-α precursor expressed on the cell surface binds to the EGF receptor on adjacent cells, leading to signal transduction
- S. T. Wong, L. Winchell, B. K. McCune, H. S. Earp, D. C. Lee
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 10 February 1989
The 50 amino acid form of TGF-alpha is cleaved from a conserved integral membrane glycoprotein by a protease that, in many tumor cells, appears to be limiting. To test whether the membrane-bound… Expand
