Aberrant activation of the Src family of tyrosine kinases has been implicated in the development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). As a result, Src inhibitors are now being studied as possible therapeutic agents to treat metastatic disease. In this review, we discuss the effects of aberrant Src activation in CRC, Src as a target of single-agent drug therapy, and Src as a target of combination therapy with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibition and cytotoxic chemotherapy. The greatest potential for clinically relevant benefit most likely lies in combination regimens. Further evaluation with biomarkers will continue to define the molecular phenotype of patients with CRC who will benefit the most from Src-based therapy.
Src 家族酪氨酸激酶的异常激活与结直肠癌(CRC)的发生和发展有关。因此,Src 抑制剂现正被研究作为治疗转移性疾病的潜在治疗药物。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了 Src 异常激活在 CRC 中的作用、作为单一药物治疗靶点的 Src 以及作为表皮生长因子受体抑制和细胞毒性化疗联合治疗靶点的 Src。最有可能具有临床相关性的获益的最大潜力在于联合方案。进一步的生物标志物评估将继续确定最受益于 Src 治疗的 CRC 患者的分子表型。
