The Role of EGFR in Oral Disease
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of various oral diseases. EGFR, a transmembrane glycoprotein, belongs to the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family and is involved in regulating essential cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Dysregulation of EGFR signaling pathways has been implicated in numerous oral diseases, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), oral mucositis, and periodontitis.
Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC): EGFR overexpression is a common feature of OSCC, contributing to its aggressive behavior, resistance to treatment, and poor prognosis. Targeting EGFR signaling pathways presents a promising therapeutic strategy to inhibit tumor growth and improve patient outcomes.
Oral Mucositis: Chemotherapy and radiation therapy often induce oral mucositis, characterized by painful ulcerative lesions in the oral cavity. EGFR inhibitors have shown potential in ameliorating oral mucositis by mitigating inflammation and promoting tissue repair.
Periodontitis: In periodontal diseases, dysregulated EGFR signaling exacerbates inflammatory responses, leading to tissue destruction and alveolar bone resorption. Modulating EGFR activity holds therapeutic promise for halting periodontal disease progression and promoting periodontal tissue regeneration.
Our Services
Alta Stomatology specializes in the development of EGFR-targeted therapies tailored to combat oral diseases effectively. Our comprehensive services encompass the design, synthesis, and preclinical evaluation of EGFR inhibitors or agonists, with the ultimate goal of advancing novel therapeutics to clinical trials and beyond.
Development of EGFR Inhibitors
We employ state-of-the-art drug discovery approaches to identify and optimize small molecule inhibitors targeting EGFR. Through rational drug design and structure-activity relationship studies, we strive to develop potent and selective compounds capable of inhibiting EGFR activation and downstream signaling pathways implicated in oral disease pathogenesis.
Development of EGFR Agonists
In certain cases, EGFR activation may confer beneficial effects in oral disease management, such as promoting epithelial regeneration and wound healing. Through innovative biologics and peptide-based approaches, Alta Stomatology can develop EGFR agonists, we aim to modulate EGFR activity selectively, fostering tissue repair and ameliorating oral mucosal damage associated with cancer therapy-induced mucositis.
Preclinical Services
Our preclinical services encompass a range of studies essential for drug development, including in vitro assays, animal models, and pharmacodynamics assessments. Leveraging state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technologies, we conduct rigorous evaluations to characterize the pharmacological properties, safety profiles, and efficacy of EGFR-targeted drugs.
