Targeted inhibition of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases in mesothelioma

Although inhibition of EGFR has not shown promise in clinical trials of mesothelioma, broader inhibition of growth pathways might be more effective.  In this study, mesothelioma cells were propagated from human mesothelioma tumors of different histologies and found to have activation of several receptor tyrosine kinases.  In the figure, one sees an array from one mesothelioma cell line with evidence of activation of EGF-R, ERBB3, IGF1R, AXL, and MET, not seen in the normal mesothelial cells.  (The two spots in each corner are positive controls)  Inhibition of a chaperone protein …
