Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, posing a significant public health challenge. Despite advancements in treatment strategies, prognosis for advanced CRC remains poor. Here, we investigate the role of CLK3 and its interaction with the c-Myc signaling pathway in CRC progression. Our study reveals significant overexpression of CLK3 in CRC tumor tissues, correlating with disease advancement, and demonstrates that CLK3 promotes CRC cell proliferation, mediated by its activation of MYC signaling through upregulation of c-MYC expression. In vivo experiments confirm the oncogenic role of CLK3, with its loss resulting in decreased tumor growth and c-MYC expression. These findings highlight CLK3 as a potential therapeutic target in CRC, offering insights into novel treatment strategies.

Hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis is one major pathological change of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but the underlying mechanism remains unexplored. CDC-like kinase 3 (CLK3) plays crucial roles in cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and nucleotide metabolism, however, the role of CLK3 in AMI, especially hypoxia-induced apoptosis, is largely unknown. The expression of CLK3 was elevated in mouse myocardial infarction (MI) models and neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) under hypoxia.

During vertebrate development, the formation of the central nervous system (CNS) is initiated by neural induction and patterning of the embryonic ectoderm. We previously reported that Cdc2-like kinase 2 (Clk2) promotes neural development in Xenopus embryos by regulating morphogen signaling. However, the functions of other Clk family members and their roles in early embryonic development remain unknown.
