The effect of tyrosine kinase inhibitor, erbstatin, on cell growth and mRNA expression of growth-factor/receptor system was examined in 6 human gastric-carcinoma cell lines. Erbstatin inhibited both EGF-induced and serum-stimulated cell growth of all 6 cell lines (TMK-I, MKN-I, -7, -28, -45, -74) in
Breast cancers frequently over-express a number of growth factor receptors. In addition, elevated src family kinase activity is present in a percentage of these neoplasms and has been implicated in signal transduction in these cells. Therefore, inhibiting tyrosine kinase activity is a potential appr
