Further investigation of the molecular control of malignant cell metabolism regulation, using Kinase Substrate Enrichment Analysis (KSEA)38 in cancer cells exposed to FAK-depleted CAF-CM, identified substrate enrichment in multiple signalling pathways that included protein kinase A catalytic subunit α (PKACA), PKD1, p38δ, p90RSK, smMLCK, ROCK2, PAK4, DAPK3, DAPK1 and p38α, all known to be involved, directly or indirectly, in enhanced cell metabolism (Fig. 6g). The gene discussed is DAPK3; the disease is cancer.
