Signaling by plasma membrane FGFR1 fusions

In addition to the cytosolic FGFR1 fusions identified in 8 myeloproliferative syndrome, plasma membrane localized FGFR1 fusions have been identified in glioblastoma, breast cancer and non small cell lung cancers (Singh et al, 2012; Wu et al, 2013; Wang et al, 2014). A FGFR1:TACC1 fusion identified in glioblastoma promotes anchorage independent growth when expressed in Rat1A cells, while an ERLIN2:FGFR1 fusion in breast cancer shows constitutive autophosphorylation when expressed in HEK 293 cells (Singh et al, 2012; Wu et al, 2013). All FGFR1 fusions tested also shown increased sensitivity to growth inhibition upon treatment with kinase inhibitors (Singh et al, 2012; Wu et al, 2013; Wang et al, 2014; reviewed in Parker et al, 2014).
