Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) by the translocation t(4;14)(p16;q32) occurs in 15% of multiple myeloma (MM) patients and confers a growth and survival advantage to malignant plasma cells. As FGFR3 is a molecular target, we assessed the therapeutic potential of the FGFR-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors SU5402 and SU10991 in MM. SU5402 inhibited FGFR3 phosphorylation in vitro and in...
