A network map of discoidin domain receptor 1(DDR1)-mediated signaling in pathological conditions.

ABSTRACT

Discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) is one of the receptors that belong to a family of non-integrin collagen receptors. In common, DDR1 is predominantly found in epithelial and smooth muscle cells and its mainly involved in organogenesis during embryonic development. However, it's also overexpressed in several pathological conditions, including cancer and inflammation. The DDR1 is reported in numerous cancers, including breast, prostate, pancreatic, bladder, lung, liver, pituitary, colorectal, skin, gastric, glioblastoma, and inflammation. DDR1 activates through the collagen I, IV, IGF-1/IGF1R, and IGF2/IR, regulating downstream signaling molecules such as MAPKs, PI3K/Akt, and NF-kB in diseases. Despite its biomedical importance, there is a lack of consolidated network map of the DDR1 signaling pathway, which prompted us for curation of literature data pertaining to the DDR1 system following the NetPath criteria. We present here the compiled pathway map comprises 39 activation/inhibition events, 17 catalysis events, 22 molecular associations, 65 gene regulation events, 35 types of protein expression, and two protein translocation events. The detailed DDR1 signaling pathway map is made freely accessible through the WikiPathways Database ( https//www.wikipathways.org/index.php/ Pathway https//www.wikipathways.org/index.php/PathwayWP5288 ).
