Tyrosine kinases phosphorylate proteins on tyrosine residues, producing a biologic signal that influences many aspects of cellular function including cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and death. Constitutive or unregulated activity through mutation or overexpression of these enzymes is a common pathologic feature in many acute and chronic leukemias. Inhibition of tyrosine kinases represents a strategy to disrupt signaling pathways that promote neoplastic growth and survival in hematologic malignancies and likely in other neoplasias as well. This review focuses on tyrosine kinases that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hematologic diseases other than chronic myelogenous leukemia and discusses the evidence for the use of small molecules to target these kinases.
