Abstract
The reversible phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in proteins, which is governed by the balanced action of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), is a key element of the signaling pathways that are involved in the control of cell proliferation. Deregulation of either of these key regulators leads to abnormal cell signaling, which is largely associated with human pathologies including cancer. This review focuses on recent studies on the role of the protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 on cell-cycle regulation and its possible roles in tumour onset and progression. SHP-1 is a PTP with two SH2 domains that is expressed in haematopoietic cells and, moderately, in many other cell types, especially malignant epithelial cells. SHP-1 regulates cell proliferation, whether it is by controlling mitogenic pathways activated by receptors with tyrosine kinase activity, or by regulating components of the cell-cycle machinery such as CDK2, p27 and cyclin D1. Since several inhibitors targeting SHP-1 have demonstrated their value in cancer treatment, this phosphatase has been proposed as a therapeutic target for this pathology.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
