Abstract excerpt
Doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) is a proposed driver of gastric cancer (GC) that phosphorylates serine and threonine residues. Here, we showed that the kinase activity of DCLK1 orchestrated cancer cell-intrinsic and-extrinsic processes that led to pro-invasive and pro-metastatic reprogramming of GC cells. Inhibition of the kinase activity of DCLK1 reduced the growth of subcutaneous xenograft tumors formed from...
