Article Abstract
Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src, also known as c-Src, belongs to the family of non-receptor tyrosine protein kinases (TKs) called Src kinases. It plays a crucial role in cell division, motility, adhesion, and survival in both normal cells and cancer cells by activating various signaling pathways mediated by multiple cytokines. Additionally, c-Src kinase has been implicated in osteoclasts and bone loss diseases mediated by inflammation and osteoporosis. In recent years, remarkable advancements have been achieved in the development of c-Src inhibitors, with several candidates progressing to the clinical stage. This review focuses on the research progress in several areas, including the mechanism of action, drug discovery, combination therapy, and clinical research. By presenting this information, we aim to provide researchers with convenient access to valuable insights and inspire new ideas to expedite future drug discovery programs.

A significant clinical challenge in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), which adversely impacts patient survival, is the development of therapy resistance leading to a relapse. Therapy resistance and relapse in CRC is associated with the formation of lipid droplets (LD) by stimulating de novo lipogenesis (DNL). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the increase in DNL and the susceptibility to DNL-targeted therapies remain unclear.

This review predominantly acquaints the role of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and cellular-Src (c-Src) in cell adhesion. Cell adhesion is a crucial phenomenon that causes the cells to interact with the extracellular matrix (ECM) or with each other. There are different proteins involved in cell adhesion including cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)/receptors that are present on the cell surface and various cytoplasmic proteins.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver solid tumor and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although new treatment options have been recently approved, the development of tumor resistance and the poor prognosis for advanced HCC make the current standard of care unsatisfying. In this scenario, the non-receptor tyrosine kinase (TK) c-Src emerged as a promising target for developing new anti-HCC agents.
