Prolactin-regulated Pbk is involved in pregnancy-induced β-cell proliferation in mice

Yan Cao et al.

Summary: During pregnancy, the protein kinase Pbk is upregulated through prolactin-induced and STAT5-mediated enhancement of gene transcription, which is essential for pregnancy-induced beta-cell proliferation, increase in islet mass, and maintenance of normal blood glucose levels.

PBK expression predicts favorable survival in colorectal cancer patients

Aya Nagano-Matsuo et al.

Summary: High expression of PBK in CRC is significantly associated with favorable survival outcomes for patients, making it a potential prognostic factor. Inhibition of PBK can suppress cellular proliferation of CRC cells, suggesting the potential utility of PBK-targeting therapeutics for treating CRC patients with high PBK expression.

PDZ Binding Kinase/T-LAK Cell-Derived Protein Kinase Plays an Oncogenic Role and Promotes Immune Escape in Human Tumors

Tingting Feng et al.

Summary: PBK is expressed at higher levels in most solid tumors and is associated with advanced tumor stage and poor prognosis, especially in KIRC, LGG, and LIHC. It is closely related to tumor immune cell infiltration and TIDE scores in these cancers, suggesting the potential value of PBK inhibitors combined with immunotherapy.

PBK/TOPK: An Effective Drug Target with Diverse Therapeutic Potential

Hai Huang et al.

Summary: Cancer is a major global public health problem, and TOPK serves as a crucial factor in cell cycle regulation and mitotic progression. Abnormal overexpression or activation of TOPK in various cancers is associated with cancer development, dissemination, and poor prognosis. Targeting TOPK can be an important approach for cancer prevention and therapy.

Targeted inhibition of the WEE1 kinase as a novel therapeutic strategy in neuroendocrine neoplasms

Lena Weindl et al.

Summary: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare and heterogeneous malignancies with aggressive subsets like NENs G3, but research suggests adavosertib as a promising therapeutic strategy for these challenging cases.
