A Role for the Non-receptor Tyrosine Kinase ACK1 in TNF-alpha-mediated Apoptosis and Proliferation in Human Intestinal Epithelial Caco-2 Cells.

CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that ACK1 plays an important role in modulating TNF-alpha-induced aberrant cell proliferation and apoptosis, mediated in part by ACK1 activation. ACK1 and its down-stream effectors may hold promise as therapeutic targets in the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal cancers, in particular, those induced by chronic intestinal inflammation.
