Disease relevance of Bmx

 

High impact information on Bmx

 

Biological context of Bmx

  • In this study, mice were generated in which the first coding exon of the Bmx gene was replaced with the lacZ reporter gene by a knock-in strategy [7].
  • The homozygous mice lacking Bmx activity were fertile and had a normal life span without an obvious phenotype [7].
  • A transient transfection system was used to identify regulators and effectors for Tec and Bmx, members of the Tec non-receptor tyrosine kinase family [5].
  • We show here that Bmx expression is induced in skin keratinocytes during wound healing [1].
  • Bmx expression also induces chronic inflammation and angiogenesis in the skin, and gene expression profiling suggests that this occurs via cytokine-mediated recruitment of inflammatory cells [1].
 

Anatomical context of Bmx

 

Associations of Bmx with chemical compounds

  • Predominant expression of murine Bmx tyrosine kinase in the granulo-monocytic lineage [8].
  • A marked increase of luminal epithelial cell proliferation was observed in the Etk transgenic prostate, which may be attributed in part to the elevated activity of Akt and signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) [4].
 

Other interactions of Bmx

  • Activation of Bmx required phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K) as demonstrated by the ability of PI-3K inhibitors to block the activation signal [9].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Bmx

  • The nonreceptor tyrosine kinase Etk/BMX was originally identified from the human prostate xenograft CWR22 [4].
  • Thus, the therapeutic potential of BVP22 and HVP22 in Etk/GCV suicide gene therapy in this tumor system is not due to VP22 delivery of Etk into surrounding cells but rather is likely due to an enhanced intracellular effect [10].
