Total and Phosphorylated IL-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase-1 and IL-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase-4 as a Biomarker for Cancer Progression and Chemotherapy Resistance
Total and Phosphorylated IL-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase-1 and IL-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase-4 as a Biomarker for Cancer Progression and Chemotherapy Resistance
Toll-like receptors (TLR) are expressed by a variety of cancers, including melanoma and T-ALL. TLR signaling plays an important role in T cell malignancies and melanoma. The effects of stimulating or inhibiting the TLR/IL-1 receptor-associated kinases IRAK-1 and IRAK-4 in melanoma and T-ALL cells were evaluated. Pharmacological treatment with an IRAK-1,-4 inhibitor delays tumor growth and prolongs survival in vitro and in vivo, indicating that TLR signaling contributes to T-ALL and melanoma progression and interfering with this signaling is a novel therapeutic strategy to control T-ALL and melanoma proliferation.
